TO YORK,

The name Of the local postoffice has
been changed from Yorkville to York
the change having gone into. effect last
Sunday, when the postmaster first be-
gan the use Of a dating stamp carry
ing the name York instead Of Yorkville
There has been much confusion OF
mail during the past six or eight weeks
because Of the fact that enthusiastic
advocates Of the change have been ad-
vising their correspondents to address
their mail to York instead Of Yorkville
and there being no such office officially
letters were constantly held up for bet
ter addressing.
Recently, however, the order has
gone put from the postofice depart
ment sanctioning the change, and pos
tai clerks have been instructed tc
change their schemes so as to show
York instead of Yorkville, and hereaft.
er there will be considerably less OF
such confusion.
The proper designation Of this post.
office Is now York, and all mail for this
point should be so addressed; but the
fact is not to be overlooked that sc
long as business people and others con-
tinue to s the stationery dated
"Yorkville," much Of their mail will
continue to come in that name.
Also, Of course, many people who
have never yet heard of the violence
done the name Of the old home town.
as well as people who get names from
directories, maps, books and the like
will continue to send their letters to
Yorkville. Such letters, however, will
continue to be delivered as promptly
as heretofore, at least until the postal
officials have gotten York so fixed in
their minds that they will no longer re-
member Yorkville. But this will be a
long time, as in cases Of changed names
the postal officials carry both names in
their records for many years.
Our readers are advised that the
name Of Yorkville is now York and
their letters and other mail matter
should be so addressed.

In our opinion Lloyd-G George, the lit
tie Welshman," Of the British govern
ment, is the greatest man in the king
dom. The economic legislation ne
worked out and put into operation be-
fore the war commenced was simply
marvelous-old age pensions, insurance
against unemployment, unearned in
crement tax, and a number of Other
experiments he carried to success were
simply marvellous. But as a warrior
he has showed up still larger. Not only
has he succeeded in composing labor
troubles that hampered the manufac-
lure Of war munitions: but within the
past few months he has increased the
manufacturing efficiency Of the empire
along those lines several times over
Lloyd George has doomed up as the
greatest man in the British empire.

For Public Information.

We are publishing elsewhere in to-
days issue the business and occupa-
ton tax ordinance promulgated by the
town council last Thursday.
We have no instructions to publish
it, and we are not to be paid for 1t
Messrs. Wilborn and Hart have pre-
ferred to take all the pay involved for
their own newspaper.
But as this is a matter Of very grea,
present interest and Of Importance fol
future record, we see proper to give
it to u readers, many Of whom would
not be otherwise advised Of it.
We fully appreciate how the gentle
men who are not recognizing The En-
quirer can justify themselves by argu-
ing that if The Enquirer is going to
print the thing for nothing, why should
we use the towns money to pay for 1t;
but If they want to so argue, they are
welcome to their own notions of fair
ness.
But anyhow we are giving our read
ers the benefit Of this ordinance in or
der that they may be informed as tc
the taxes they will have to pay under
it, and in order that they may study
the general viewpoint involved.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-08-03

The Enquirer offered a suggestion
many years ago to the effect that 1t
would be we'll worth while for the Of
fcials Of this town to take into intelli-
gent consideration the matter Of the
planting Of shade trees. We advanced
the idea that pecans, for instance,
would thrive as we'll as elms, and not
only give as good shade; but would be
Of additional practical value because
Of the yield Of nuts to be expected.
This idea is we'll worth while and we
would like to see 1t put in effect, not
only in the towns, but along the public
highways.
Or. j. Wilson Mcconnell, a former
York county boy, now Of Davidson, N.
c., was in town last Friday and Sat-
urday in accordance with advertised
announcement to offer his services to
those who are in need Of services to
"eye, ear, nose and throat" He was
quite busy on both days; but had a
great deal more to do on Saturday than
on Friday. DR.. Mcconnell has volun-
teered for Red Cross work with the
British army, and will go over next
winter If not sooner When asked
about the matter he said: Yes, I am
going with the British. 1t does not
matter to me much which, as 1t is more
largely than anything else a matter Of
humanity. OF course I have my SYM
pathies; but these do not count in a
ish desires, the possible opportunities
for professional improvement, I would
rather go with the Germans; but they
would not have me, you know because
that Mack in my name does not sound
right; but Of course I can find plenty
to do on either SIDE" We would not
interfere with the doctors noble pur-
pose If we could and could not If we
we would like it better If he would re-
main right where he is. So far as our
humble opinion goes, he is n Of the
brightest and ablest young men in his
profession, rapidly going higher and
higher, and we think he can do as
much good here az anywhere. There
is no question Of the constant and
growing demand for his services, and
there Is no question Of the fact that
he is going to be missed. The sick and
wounded soldiers, whether of the Allies
or the Teutons, who come under his
care, will certainly be fortunate in Sc
curing attention equal to the best to
be had.

Editorially The Yorkville Enquirer
rather apologies for printing eX-Gov
Blease's attack upon President wilson
at the Filbert picnic. We are sure
there Is no reaso why The Enquirer
should object to criticism because OF
its action. The information which 1t
furnishes is Of interest and it Is infor-
nation which the public ought to have
News and Courier.
If tho News and Courier thinks we
object to criticism in the matter, 1t is
entirely mistaken; but since it thinks
the public should nave the information
we are at a loss to understand why il

Mr.. w. D. Grist,
Editor Yorkville Enquirer,
Yorkville, S. c.
Dear Sir:
Your editorial comment on article
copied from Anderson Daily Mail in
reference to home coming and chau-
tauqua, is misleading and does not eX-
press the facts. l do not are to have
any personal controversy with you but
as chairman of the home coming and
chautauqua advertising committee feel
that your readers should know your
true attitude towards this event.
You state that THE home coming
week is the private property of the
Board of Trade and town council l
do not know what part the town coun-
Gil" may take in this matter n two OF
the councilmen told me that neither the
home coming or chautauqua nave ever
been discussed at any meeting, but l
do know that the Board of Trade is re-
sponsible for the $4,000 necessary to
have the c~hautauqua come here and l
so stated to you. AS for The "Enqui-
rer" receiving first hand information
and also that this matter belongs EN-
tirely to people who prefer to get along
without asking n assistance from
The Yorkville Enquirer or taking it in
to their confidence" l respectfully re-
call to your mind the conversation /
had with you in front Of the York Fur
niture Co, one evening week before
last about 7.30 o'clock. l had just come
down from the White Rose club rooms
where / had attended a meeting Of the
executive committee of the Board OF
Trade and was discussing general
plans of advertising with Messrs. ]. G.
Wilborn and w. B. Moore when you
passed us. AS you were coming back
| said that this was one time l hoped
the whole town would pull together
and that | was going to give you the
proceedings of the Board of Trade
meeting at Once-whereupon Mr.. Will
born said: Good! | hope you succeed"
| stepped across the street and met you
and to the best of my recollection this
is conversation that followed:
Mr.. Grist, possibly you know that
some Of us as individuals guaranteed
the expenses of the chautauqua to be
held here some time in early fall. We
received notice yesterday that this
would be held here Sept. 1st, End and
Bird. AS the Board of Trade had had
in mind for some time holding n home
coming week, l suggested to the guar
antOrs hat we offer the %chautauqua
programme to the Board of Trade, pro-
vided they would assume all financial
obligations. l Twas authorized to offer it
to them. l have just done so n they
accepted. They also agreed to have
home coming in conjunction with it.
We appointed all the necessary COM
mitteeS and are all going to pull to-
gether to make it the biggest event in
the history of the town. l don't re-
