Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-04-07

There were but few people in town
and there was very little doing gen.
orally.
There are complaints Of more evil
dences Of free liquor in Yorkville since
the death of the late James F.. Jackson.
The development is more noticeable in
the Syamp-town portion Of Madison
street.
- The Masons, Odd Fellows and Red
Men. together with private citizens OF
Yorkville, are raising funds with which
to send Mr.. Guy Louthian, who is suf-
fering from tuberculosis, to Lake Sar-
anac, n. Y. Mr.. Louthian will proba
bly, leave within the next few days.
- Manager McManus gave the three
hundred children at the graded school
free entertainment at the Lyric yes
terday afternoon. There were not
seats to accommodate all the children
at one time and they came in in re-
lays.
There is absolutely no authority of
law for this free light and water busi-
ness. No court on earth would sustain
the idea Of taxing part Of the people
to pay salaries for service or alleged
service for all the people. The abuse
has gone far enough and should be
stopped. 1t is time the affairs of York
vile were placed on business basis.
THE Boy Scouts took another hike
out to Sutton's Spring last Saturday,
and about twenty girls went along to
get an idea of the work with a view to
joining an organization Of Campfire
girls" The work Of the boys was
about the same as that which was
pretty fully described in The Enquirer
Of last Tuesday. The girls enjoyed the
trip very much.
AT the regular monthly communi-
cation Of Philanthropic lodge, No. so,
A. F. NJ, last night, a committee was
appointed to take up with the court
house commission and the contractors,
the matter Of laying corner stone in
the new building with Masonic cere-
monies. If arrangements are COM
pleted 1t is the intention to invite all
the grand lodge officers to Yorkville
for the ceremony, but it Is hardly
probable that 1t will be before the lat
ter part Of May or the first of June.
= Last Sunday had been set aside
for q canvass of Yorkville for the
purposes of Sunday school census in
accordance with recent resolution Of
the county Sunday school association
but the canvass was not completed. 1t
happened that most of the blanks
furnished by the county association
were in the home Of Rev. DR.. e. E..
Gillespie, and as his home Is under
quarantine because Of scarlet fever. the
blanks were not available. Rev. ]. L.
Oates had previously secured blanks
allotted to the Associate Reformed
church, and canvassed the Lockmore
and Neely mill districts. Rev. Henry
Stokes has secured additional blanks
from the secretary Of the county as
ISOLATION, and the census work will be
on next Sunday.
= Mr.. John S. Jones of Yorkville, has
two patches Of alfalfa that are very
much out Of the ordinary. The larger
Of the two patches, possibly an eighth
Of an acre is on ground that last year
was in crimson clover. Without any
very special preparation the ground
was sowed in alfalfa last fall, the seed
not being inoculated. On large part
Of this patch there Is splendid stand
Of alfalfa and this is from to 8 inches
high. On the lower side the stand is
not so good nor is the alfalfa quite so
high. Instead Of the alfalfa being
choked out by chickweed and other
weeds it looks as if the latter will be
choked out by the alfalfa. The second
patch, about 25x50 feet, was sowed
with the left over seed from the first
patch and the stand here is even better
than on the larger patch and the growth
Is perhaps a little higher. This patch
had no preparation at all, other than
a thorough plowing. The plants on
both patches seem to be we'll rooted.
