Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-07-31

The News and Courier and the Pro-
gressive Farmer have printed the
advertisement appealing for help for
the York county hail sufferers free
of charge.
"Riqhts" and "Wrongs" are terms
that the Reform faction in York coun-
ty are using to designate party align
ments He's a right" or Hes
wrong" as the case may be.
Counting the subscriptions that
came in from Sharon before Mr.. John
S. Hartness, cashier Of the First Ma
tional bank started out with his sub
scription list, the subscriptions OF
Sharon people for the relief Of the
hail storm sufferers amount to $102.75.
Commissioner Watson made very
good speech at Bethel and all the ad-
vice he gave the Bethel people was
sound. The only trouble with the
speaker was that he did not sufficiently
realize the extent to which the Bethel
people were already doing the things
he advised them to do. The burden OF
the speech was to learn to live at home,
and If there is a rural community in
the south as large as Bethel township,
that comes more nearly living at home
than Bethel we have never heard Of it.
But still, Mr. Watson said nothing
amiss. All the advice he gave was
good, and will be taken in good part.
On the Fort Mill club roll, we note
that our friend ]. H. Coltharp gives his
Occupation as that Of SETTER" We want
to remark that although IT comes from
Mr.. Coltharp himself, it is somewhat
Of libel. Our friend Is veteran Of
the Civil war, and his comrades testify
while he may have been a setter"

steady. Since the war, he has been
an earnest and active worker, who has
been using his brains as well as his
hands, and who has made such sue
cess as a small farmer as Is seldom
seen. He is farmer who farms, and
although he has not yet gotten too
old to learn, farmers institute lectur-
ers can get about as much out Of him
as they can give him. He may be a
setter" all right, but we do not want
anybody to gather the idea that he
is, or has been, in any sense loafer.
Although we have not inquired into
the matter, it has been reported during
the last two or three days that the
proposed motorcycle races at Filbert
| have been called off, because it is a
| violation Of the law to drive a motor
cycle over the public highway at a
rate exceeding fifteen miles an hour.
We believe in the observance Of law;
| but under circumstances where the
road would be patrolled from one end
of the course to the other in such a
| manner as to ensure the safety Of way
| farers, we do not believe that any law
would be violated. And again, while
one violation Of law does not justify
another, we will venture that at this
very writing, automobiles and motor
cycles are violating the law not only
all over York county; but all over the
state. Indeed, we do not think we
would be risking a great deal If We
would say 80 per cent of the automobile
owners violate the law every time they
take out their machines.
