Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-01-26

lateS an incident IN the l11e or An
drew Carnegie, to illustrate the need
Of taking care Of little things.
Cloud Cash Store-Is making a show
ing Of early spring styles in ladies'
coat suits, and invites the ladies to
come and see them.
F. F. Daley Co., Ltd, Buffalo-On

| about the good qualities Of "2-in-1"
shoe polish-10c in easy open box.
Lyric Theatre-Mentions programmes

York county citizens who contem-
plate making application for appoint
ment as notaries public, are reminded
| that their application must be endors-
| ed by at least one member Of the coun-
ty delegation before 1t will receive con-
sideration at the hands Of Governor
Manning.
Announcement has been made that
Postmaster General Burleson expects
to try cold storage plants In the parcel
post service and II the experiment
proves successful 1t Is believed that the
department will apply to congress for
appropriations to establish cold storage
outfits in every postoff1ce building Of
any size in the country. 1t Is proposed
| to make the experiment at the Denver
postoffice, which Is new building.
Il develops that by oversight the ar
cfitect failed to provide in his plans
for an augur stairway leading from
the clerks Office to the basement of
the new courthouse, and as 1t was not
up to the contractors to put the same
in, the stairway must be provided 9TH
erwise. 1t has been suggested that the
oversight will be corrected by making
provision for 1t in the appropriation to
| be made on furniture account. Some,
however, think that the architect
should correct his own oversight.
What on earth does anybody want to
send their dollars away from home to
mail order house when they can get
as good or better at home for the same
price? Make a round Of the various
stores Of this county and we dare say
there can be found any staple article
| that a mail order house can furnish,
and on terms that are as fair. Send
the money off to a mail order house,
and 1t Is gone. Spend the money at
home and a part Of 1t remains here,
with good show Of either getting
it back into your own pocket, or your
getting additional direct or indirect
benefit. There Is no need to go to the
mail order houses for anything.
Every reader Of The Enquirer who
finds pleasure in a first class serial
story should make 1t point to read
the opening chapters Of 1.-The Call Of
the Cumberlands." in todays paper.
This story Is undoubtedly one Of the
best we have had the pleasure Of
printing for many day. 1t Is found
ed on fact and follows closely the his
tory Of a famous feud that existed
over many years in the Kentucky
mountains. There Is hero who Is
worth while and heroine who is fully
his equal, and both characters are re-
markably true to life. We are quite
safe in promising that no reader Of
tlis splendid story will be disappoint-
ed in any part of 1t.
The Enquirer has been advised that it
is the purpose Of the Loan & Savings
bank of Yorkville to withdraw the suit
it filed against Treasurer Neil for the
return Of taxes paid under protest.
The First Trust & Savings Bank Of
Rock Hill has written the treasurer
withdrawing its protest on account OF
1913 taxes. AS to whether the National
Union and the First Trust and Savings
bank propose to continue the case as
to 1913 taxes, we have not been ad-
vised. 1t will be remembered that these
protests were brought to test the right
Of the state to tax otherwise non-tax-
able bonds when the same are the
property Of a banking corporation
which makes it's returns on a basis of
the value Of its capital stock rather
than on the basis Of the value Of its
the litigation; but secured a decided
gain last year from the board of
equalization In reduced assessments
The main question on which the pro-
test was made remains unsettled, and
manv public officials are hoping that
the litigation will be pushed to con-
clusion in order that there may be
final determination Of the issue.
There are a great many people in
Yorkville who look upon the circula-
ton Of that petition for the change Of
the name of the town as childish. 1t
is dawning on some Of them that, al
though they had no idea Of such a
thing at the time, that this scheme
was the underlying object Of all that
recent smoker entertainment and the
pretty programme Of speeches. No
one doubts the good faith of the
speakers; but the suspicion covers the
idea that the change Of name people
anticipated that as the result Of the
speeches those present would agree to
any proposition, however absurd, that
might be made in the name Of "har-
mony." 1t Is fact that while good
ly number Of representative citizens
have refused to sign the petition at all,
there are many people to whom 1t has
never been presented, for the reason
that the circulators thereof know they
will not sign. 1t Is a fact also that
some Of the people who have signed
the petition are expressing regret that
they did so and declaring that they
would not so sign If they had 1t to do
over again. Also that If they get a
chance to vote, they will vote no. So
far no one seems to advance any ar
gument, or even sensible reason why
the name of the town should be
changed. after a hundred and thirty
years of honorable existence. More
than anything else the thing looks like
another joke on the innocent credulity
of many Of the most earnest and con-
sciencious people Of the town.
