Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-03-27

| The En,uirer is requested to an
nounce that the date for the closing OF
entries to the canning club is March 81
Treasurer Neil and his assistant, Mr.
| Parrott, have been busy this week
writing tax executions. There are more
than 1000 tax executions to be served.
Mr.. w. w. Campbell Of the Ogden
neighborhood, said few days ago that
his oat crop was not loking so well;
but that he had already followed the
example Of his nelghbors in the appli-
cation Of nitrate Of soda.
We have had several discouraging
reports from the cover crops sown last
fall. Mr. Will Wilkerson, Of Hickory
Grove No. 2, said a part Of his crimson
clover looked as if it might as we'll be
plowed up; but he did not say whether
he had fully made up his mind to that
effect.
We have seen no definite statement
as to whether James Cansler, Of Tir-
zah, Is to be in the race for railroad
commissioner; but If Mr.. Cansler does
not run the campaign party will be
very Notwithstanding GER
tain raw deals that some Of his friends
seem to think he got in the count in at
least two counties last year.
A note from Senator McLaurin
brings the information that he will
hardly be able to accept the invitation
to deliver the address at the closing ex-
ercises Of the Gold Hill school, because
the date that has been fixed, April "a,
will conflict with the date Of the re-
organization of Democratic clubs on
April 25. He finds that he will be un-
able to reach Fort Mill and get back
home in time to participate in the club
reorganization.
The tie between Mr.. w. w. Camp
bell and Mrs. John M. Smith in The
Enquirers club contest has been ar
ranged to the satisfaction Of both with
out the continuance of the competition.
Although quite a number Of The En-
quirer's club premiums have been de-
livered, others had to be ordered and
will be secured as soon as possible.
Clubmakers who have not yet indicat-
ed their preferences are requested to
do so without delay.
When people decline to qualify them
selves to vote even when the opportu-
nifty is offered, what right have they to
complain at an unsatisfactory govern
ment? TO be sure, it Is inconvenient to
some people to register. AS a matter
of fact there are scores Of unregistered
people in York county who have paid
their taxes; but who could not to save
their lives lay their hands on their
tax receipts within an hour. Worse
than that there are hundreds Of reg
istered voters all over the county who
do not know where to find their regis
tration certificates, and could not vote
tomorrow if there were an election to
determine whether those found with
out certificates should be sent to Jail.
Mr.. G. r. Wallace, one Of the trus-
tees of school district No. 6, in which
the Ancona mill is located, in which a
special tax of 2 mills was voted re-
Gently, informs The Enquirer that GER
tain rumors of opposition to the tax by
the mill authorities are altogether in
correct. He says that so far as he Is
aware, and he thinks he is in a posi-
ton to know, the mill authorities were
not only favorable to the tax; but con-
template doing a great deal more for
school work in the district than the
law requires then to do. The oppo-
sition came from other sources.
