Among the many amusing cartoons
on the war situation, one in the New
York Evening Telegram Of Saturday,
is especially funny. 1t represents the
god of war as running a barber shop.
England, France, Belgium, Russia, ia
pan, Germany, Austria and Servia have
been waited upon and the god Of war
is standing by an empty chair bawling
out next" Italy is in the foreground
with Holland and Switzerland close
behind and Italy is excitedly shouting,
"Dats-ame."
For years a leader in the raising of
livestock, mainly horses, mules, cattle
and pigs, Mr.. D. M. Hall, who lives on
the Kings Mountain road about five
miles north Of Yorkville, Is enlarging
his operations. He now has about 140
acres of land under wire fence In sep
arate fields, and has plans for enclos-
ing still more He Is working along
the line Of grain, hay and livestock,
and has his arrangements so he can
pasture the different fields as rapidly
as he takes the crops from them. But
this is no new thing with Mr.. Hall. He
commenced cutting out cotton more
than a dozen years ago, and while he
still grows some, he does not rely upon
1t as his only source Of income.
Among the things that The Enquirer
is unable to satisfactorily understand
is why the Yorkville creamery Is un-
able to get supplies Of milk to keep 1t
running to it's capacity Among the
many creamery plants that have been
established in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia this is one of the
few that has lived out its first year,
and this one is now nearly four years
old. The creamery is able to sell every
pound of butter it can make at good
prices and is able to handle four times
as much cream as it is able to get. Be-
cause of it several farmers who went
into the undertaking intelligently nave
built up profitable business for them
selves in the selling Of cream, the pro-
duction of manure and the multipn-
cation of dairy herds. The creamery
has been worth far more to this whole
locality than the people generally seem
to realize and if it could only get
enough customers to enable it to oper-
ate to it's full capacity its value would
be quadrupled. Just why Is difficult
to say; but our farmers are neglecting
not to say ignoring a very valuable
asset.
The attention of our good friends,
the clubmakers who have been return
ing names to The Enquirer for so
many years, is called to the fact that
our annual premium list appears on
the fourth page Of today's issue. or
course we shall be pleased to have the
assistance Of all the good friends re-
ferred to, and as many more as care
to undertake the work in securing the
return of all present subscribers and
as many new ones as possible. The OF
fer to send the paper until JAN l, 1915,
for the price Of years subscription
should prove attractive to a great
many people just now, and we take
the liberty of suggesting to clubmak-
ers that they especially stress this
feature. Individuals who may not nov
be taking The Enquirer but who eX-
pect to do so later on, have extra in
ducements to give in their names ar
once, and clubmakers who are most
active among this class will very like
ly secure the largest lists People VINO
desire to subscribe but who know OF
no clubmaker in their respective
neighborhoods, are reminded that only
two names are required to constitute a
club and that to a clubmaker VINO
returns and pays for only two names
there is offered a premium that IS
worth while. Notwithstanding the hard
times, we are hoping for large sub
scription lists next year and we prom
ise to make The Enquirer we'll worth
the money to all who pay the price of
subscription.
A North Carolina paper Of Thursday
carried a long account Of the seizure OF
that still near the battle-ground, men-
ton of which was made in The En-
quirer, Friday According to the North
Carolina papers account, the seizure
was made by North Carolina revenue
officers, no mention Of the York coun-
ty officers who really found the distil-
lery being made The article went or
to relate how dangerous the work OF
the revenue officer was, how he carries
his life in his hands and is liable to be
shot down at any moment, etc. A rep
resentative of The Enquirer chanced to
be talking with a York county peace
officer Saturday night and mention of
the big STILL which York county Off
GERS captured, was made. The Enquir-
er man then mentioned the North
Carolina papers account OF the RAID,
and the officer could but laugh at the
part of the story which related to the
danger of the work. Why" said he.
Il have been assisting in breaking up
illicit distilleries for years, and know
there is absolutely no danger. The
blockader is interested only in making
his escape, and If captured he would
not for a moment think Of resisting.
So far as the Federal officers captur-
ing the distillery is concerned, they did
not. Were it not for our assistance
they would never make a capture in
the battle-ground country because in
tho first Dlace there is too much OF 1t, |
and in the second they know nothing
about it,"
