Another Special Levy Voted.
Oak Ridge in School District No. l,
unanimously voted a special two-mill
levy last Thursday. There are now
only six Of the fifty-six school districts
in the county that have not voted spe-
cial levies for school Improvement.
They are: Bethel, No. 3; Hoodtown,
No. 10; Piedmont, No. II; Clark's Fork,
No. 25; Turkey Creek, No. "a; New
Zion, No 54. Had it not been for dis
tressed financial conditions, 1t Is likely
that several Of these districts would
have voted special levies this fall.
There are only two counties in the
whole state which have voted special
levies in every district and York coun-
ty stands well up toward the head of
the column Of counties having special
school levies.
The Third Primary.
A third primary election is being
held in the county today and the vot-
ers will choose between Messrs. S. N.
Johnson and T. F. Leslie as to which
Of these gentlemen shall be York's
fourth representative in the next regu-
lar session Of the legislature. There
seems to be but little interest in Il
election and the vote will undoubtedly
be much lighter than that cast in the
second primary two weeks ago. When
The Enquirer went to press at two
o'clock about 100 votes had been cast
o. hn hnXaG
quiries at other precincts in the county
developed the fact that comparatively
few voters were casting their ballots

Missionary at Beersheba.
Rev. p c. DuBose a returned mis-
sionary to China, lectured to a large
audience at Beersheba Presbyterian
church six miles west of Yorkville
Sunday night. Rev. Dubose graphical
ly described conditions in China-the
eagerness Of the Chinese to learn more
Of the Bible, and the great sacrifices
many Of them make to embrace Chris
tianity He told Of the obstacles under
which the missionaries labored, their
lack Of funds, etc, and declared that
the mission work had gotten to the
place where money must be had or all
is lost. I'VE have few church men,
bers in China" the missionary said.
We could have thousands like many
of those in America, merely nominal
members. But what we have are real
church members who really count for
something"
Good Meeting at Bethesda.
Professors ]. w. Thomson and Chas.
r. Weeks Of Winthrop college, Miss
Leila Russell of the Winthrop Train
ing school and Superintendent Of Edu-
cation John f. Carroll, went to Bethes-
da High school, Friday night to make
addresses on the subject Of community
cooperation and to assist in the or
ganiZation Of the Bethesda School I'm
provement association. The school
building was taxed to it's utmost ca
pacity, many interested patrons and
friends of the thriving school being
forced to stand. Superintendent Car
roll presided and the patrons listened
attentively to the interesting and in
structive addresses Of the school ex
perts. 1t was decided to postpone the
actual organization Of the improve
ment association until next Friday. The
patrons Of Bethesda school are much in
terested in the work Of school i'm
provement and have a right to boast Of
one of the best schools in York county.
Profit in Oats.
Mr.. w. r. Carroll Of YOrkville, has
given The Enquirer carefully prepar-
ed statement Of the outcome Of the fine
Oat crop previously referred to as hav-
ing been made on his place four and n
half miles south least of YOrkville. In
the whole place there are 236 acres. OF
this 10 acres were seeded to oats, fer
tilted at the rate Of 300 pounds of 1916
the acre. and put in with a one horse
drill, two rows of oats between each
old cotton row. The total cost of seed
ing, fertilizers and harvesting was
1904. The total yield was 2.727 meas
ured bushels and 1,2O0 bales of straw,
weighing about so pounds to the bale.
At IS cents a bushel the oats come to
$2.052.75 and while the value of the
straw has not been accurately apprais-
ed, it is more than sufficient to pay the
entire cost of the crop. In 1911, Mr.
Carroll made "a bales Of cotton with
six mules on the whole farm Cotton
that year sold from IL l-2 cents down
to 1-2. and the net profit was be-
tween $1,000 and s1.700. This year Mr.
Carroll intends to SOW not less than 100
acres in oats.
