Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-05-26

Enquirer ran upon young farmer VINO
Is interesting himself in stock raising
along rather unique lines. He has pur-
chased five calves at from $1.5O to $500
each, and is undertaking to feed them
on skim milk, slop. wheat bran and the
like until he can get them to where they
will be able to eat grass from the pas
lures. This particular young farmer
does not care to go into the business
along extensive lines too suddenly.
There is no trouble about his being able
to raise all the money he might need;
but as he is only starting out for him
| self he prefers to experiment and de-
velop gradually, rather than run the
risk of getting into deep water by try
| ing to go too fast. He very well un-
derstands that things may happen
to his calves and he can easily lose
what little he has put into the venture;
but at the same time he figures that if
everything goes well he stands to make
profits Of several hundred per cent per
year on the venture. The soundness Of

Talking to a representative Of The
Enquirer a few days ago. CASTOR
county, N. c., friend, had this to say
about the recent defeat Of Sheriff ]. D.
B. Mclean: You people down in York
county are so much taken up with your
own politics that you do not know
great deal about us. The Enquirer was
right when it said that the two term
proposition was responsible; but 1t did
not put the matter quite strong
enough. Tradition and sentiment have
fixed the tenure Of sheriff in CASTOR at
two terms. OF course man must be
mighty good man to be elected sheriff
the first time; but when he comes up
for the second term the requirements
are not so great All that is necessary
is that he has been guilty Of no fla
grant dereliction of duty. There Is a
feeling that one good term deserves
another, and the rule is to vote for a
man for q second term, even though
there may be in the race somebody
else that you like better l voted for
John Mclean eight years ago and
again four years ago; but l did not do
it the last time. Why? Well, 1t Is
pretty hard to tell you except that
like the others, / believe in holding on
to the two term tradition. There Is not
man in CASTOR county that l think
more Of than do John Mclean. He is
whole souled, patriotic, brave, honor
able and upright. There never was a
more hospitable man in our county,
and do not know one anywhere. That
is not only my opinion. 1t Is almost
eyerybodys opinion, and the sheriff Is
as popular in CASTOR county today as he
was eight years ago or four years ago.
But we could not break the rule. There
are hundreds Of CASTOR county men who
would not vote for their own brothers
for a third term. In my opinion don't
prised or disappointed. He under
stands the situation as well as any OF
us. and just why he stood for re-elec-
ton / do not know. He had his rea-
sons, Of course, and they were good;
but he made no effort to get elected
Just did not try. l voted for Davis. he
is a good man and we were glad to
elect him: but will tell you right now
that If it had been any even race be-
tween him and John Mclean with no
third term handicap, Davis would new
er have made it, and If you print this
do not believe Mr.. Davis will feel in the
least offended"
