Christmas GREETING,

There will be no more issues after
this until Friday, December 81, II
having been decided to suspend the
issues that would have otherwise ap-
peared on the two intervening dates
because Of the holidays.
By way Of explanation we beg to
say that this is in accordance with
established custom, extending back to
the time when the memory Of man
runneth not to the contrary, and most
agreeable to those who have beer
sticking so faithfully and steadily al
their posts during all the many weeks
that elapsed since the last holiday
This suspension does not mean that
everybody connected with the paper
will rest. There are those who will
continue busy during most Of the
ten days intervening between this is
sue and the next. Besides the work
Of editing and publishing there are
many other things that have to be
looked after in newspaper office
more particularly along about the
end Of the year, and these things will
keep the editor and publishers busy.
There will be somebody about the
office to attend to personal business
as we'll as business by mail.
In the meantime, we desire to ex-
tend thanks to our clubmakers for the
splendid work they have been doing
are doing and will continue to do, and
for their encouragement, say that al
though the largest club so far is not
nearly so large as the largest club OF
last year, more names have been re.
turned up to this time than ever be-
fore at this date in the history OF
the paper.
But though the paper be suspended
for two issues, and though we Dc
busy, our hearts and minds are Still
with clubmakers, subscribers and
readers. For each and every one we
wish a real and true Christmas, moi
only the good cheer that comes with
the choice things to eat and drink and
wear; but high and above all things
like these, the peace Of Him who
brought good will to men, and who Is
preparing mansions for those who are
willing to share the eternal Christmas
that He has made possible for all.

SANTA CLAUS ON THE WAY

Santa Claus Is on the road! Only
three more days and he will be here.
His agents have already been here and
have stocked almost every store In
Yorkville and every store in every
other section Of the county with all
manner Of holiday articles It is
Christmas time. It can be felt in the
air, it can be seen everywhere. Pretty
show windows all over town are strik-
ing evidence that it is an unusual
time.
That Santa Claus Is going to leave
in many q home all kinds Of pretty
things can be proven by a look at
most Of the stores where he has de-
posted so many practical and pretty
articles until his coming Friday night.
Toys, candies, fruits, glass ware,
crockery, dry goods and other things
of more useful and practical ma
ture. Never perhaps has he left a
more bountiful supply Of things In
Yorkville, so many things for the old
folks as we'll as the young, to look
over ard decide upon what they want.
And the merchants say that the
little folks and old folks are picking
over Santa Claus's offerings in such
numbers that their hearts are being
made glad. Better do your choosing
today or tomorrow ere you may be too
late.
Everything is looking Christmassy.
Everybody is wearing the Christmas
smile-the one that won't come off.
Or rather anybody who can possibly
change their face Is wearing that
smile Why shouldn't 1t be so? Every
thing Is so much better than 1t was
a year ago. The country is safe.
And boys: there are plenty Of fire.
crackers about town. Big ones and lit
tie ones. They call the big ones Ger
MANS" this year. Their smell, how
ever, is not noticeable yet. While
there are plenty Of them 1t Is possi-
BILE the supply will not be as large as
the demand, so remember to buy
yours early. Don't shoot them before
Christmas Eve, you boys in town,
because If you do Chief Love Is liable
to get you. He told me so just the
other day. OF course the boys in the
country can shoot theirs when they
please. That's where they have 1t on
you boys in the towns.
And girls don't care much for fire.
crackers, they love their dolls which
are almost as plentiful as the fire
crackers. Big dolls, little dolls, medium
size dolls, dolls that can go to sleep,
dolls that can't talk but can squeak.
And there are tea sets and carts and
cradles and almost everything.
Yes, it should be a glorious Christ
mas for the little folks and for the
big folks as we'll, for Saint Nicholas
has left a bountiful supply Of his
presents with the store keepers OF
this section.

HERE AND THERE.

Mr.. S. A. Robinson, who lives near
Glover, killed q hog yesterday morn
ing that weighed 435 pounds net. .
Many of the rural schools closed
for the Christmas holidays Friday
while those that did not will adjourn
either today or tomorrow. In most
instances, a two weeks holiday Will
be given the pupils.
The county chaingang, like almost
every one else, will observe Christ
mas. Supervisor Boyd said the other
day that the convicts would be given
Christmas as a holiday and that one
or two of the county's hogs would be
killed with which the gang would
feast themselves.
Mr. Billie" Sandifer Of the
Guthriesville section, who has quite
reputation for raising fine turkeys,
said Saturday that he had sold eight
cen or twenty Of his birds the past
few days whose weight ranged from
16 to 22 pounds. Mr.. Sandifer has one
gobbler about a year and half old
that weighed 80 pounds.

Last weeks issue Of the Manufac-
turers Record has an interesting
article on the development Of Colum-
bia as a stone cutting center. 1t ap-
pears that within the last year or two
local capital has erected several sheds
for stone cutters, who are coming
down from Vermont in considerable
numbers to dress granite from Rion
for sale throughout the United States,
and the world. The inducements are
the proximity Of the granite in mex
haustible quantities, and as good
quality as to be found anywhere, and
the ability of the stone cutters to
work all the year round in the open,
where in Vermont, they have to spend
half the year in closed, stuffy shacks
filled with granite dust. The work.
men, mostly Italians. but including
Scotch, English and other nation
alities, are high class people, and re-
ceive from SO to SIS a day, many Of
them more. The business is merely a
matter Of experienced management,
an expert craftsman or business man,
employing the labor, selling the pro-
duct, and keeping things going. For
merly all this stone cutting was done
at the quarries; but now it is going
to Columbia on account Of the schools
and other attractions, and it can be
carried on just as well in Yorkville as
in Columbia. More than that, If the
right people would take hold, the
Whitesides quarries a few miles north
Of Yorkville could be developed to an
extent that would rival those quarries
of Fairfield.

WITHIN THE TOWN

The Christmas trade is booming
this week.
- Some little cotton selling, but not
a great deal.
The college girls and boys will ar
rive at their homes here tomorrow and
Thursday.
Rev. ]. L. Oates announced to his
congregation last Sunday morning
that the membership of the Yorkville
Associate Reformed church had passed
the two hundred mark.
The fire alarm was sounded short
ly after Z o'clock last night on ac-
count Of blaze in the store Of Mr.. r.
T. Allison on South Congress street.
The damage was very slight, the
flames being under control even before
the arrival Of the hose wagon.
Sophia Pierce, colored, and he
mother, Anna Pierce, who live on the
eastern outskirts Of town, were acci-
dentally shot Sunday evening by Jim
Pierce, brother Of Sophia Neither of
the women were seriously hurt, al
though the ball went through the fin
gers Of both hands Of the daughter and
grazed the forehead Of the mother.
Pierce, it seems, was "fooling' with
the pistol when it was discharged.

MAY PASS TODAY

Beaver Dam trestle on the Caro-
lima & North Western railway about
two and a half miles north Of Clover
was the scene Of much activity Sat-
urday, Sunday and yesterday, a large
force of workmen having been en-
ployed in rebuilding the wide span OF
trestle which collapsed Thursday
morning. hurting eight freight cars
into the swift little creek and leaving
two other cars in such position that
it was necessary to topple them OH
into the deep creek cut.
: The Beaver Dam wreck Is undoubt-
edly one of the worst which has hap
pened in York county in many years.
When a reporter for The Enquirer
visited the scene Sunday afternoon
the contents of the freight cars had
been removed but the fill was still
piled with the wrecked box cars,
practically all of which are 80 badly
damaged that they are beyond repair.
Some of them were reduced to KIND
ling wood while others are now noth.
ing save splinters. On the sides OF
the cut sets OF WneelS were Slh6

the cars were hurled together IN
jumbled heap.
The combination car passenger

not go into the creek due to the faot
that the wheels rested on box cars
which had already fallen, was later
released and tumbled in with the
rest of the wreckage. 1t Is total
wreck, the seats being torn from their
and other furniture ana
fixtures damaged beyond repair.
The cross-ties on the small portion
of the trestle which held were badly
cut by the wheels Of the derailed
freight car which caused the wreck
and had to be replaced with new
timbers while other cross ties at the
north end Of the trestle which were
also cut, will continue In use.
There were some forty-five OF fifty
hands at work Sunday afternoon re-
pairing the 32-foot trestle and they
were making rapid progress. Road

Now, if it could only be arranged
so the government could take about
so per cent or only rs per cent of the
profits the munition manufacturers
have made out of the stuff sold to bel
ligerent nations, but which they ought
not to have been allowed to sell, we
could easily be able to pay for all the
preparedness we are needing at the
present time. Honestly and truly we
think it would be good idea for
America to invest every cent she Is
making out of the European war in
war material for her own use, Tor
some of these days it Is going to be
necessary to spend that much and
probably a good deal more, to defend
what we are making.

SCHOOLS ADD LIBRARIES

Another evidence Of the fact that
York countys public schools are MAX
ing improvements along every line, Is
the application Of seven schools for
state aid in establishing libraries,
while eleven other schools are making
application for aid in increasing the
size of their libraries.
The state department Of education
gives SO to each school desiring to es-
tablish a library where the patrons
contribute a similar sum, the school
district $40, while the county board
Of education gives SO and bonus OF
s3. Those schools which will estab-
lish Libraries in the near future are
Forest Hill, Flint Hill, Pine Bluff,

it's library and the patrons contribute

department appropriates 50 from the
library fund and the county board OF

Preparedness.

The great issue before the people Of
the United States at the present
time is that Of preparedness, and the
people are taking sides for and against
the proposition.
The strongest argument for pre-
paredness goes like this: America,
through the sale Of munitions and
supplies to European belligerents has
become the richest country on earth,
while the Europeans are rapidly be-
coming poorer and poorer. When the
war ends, America will have prac-
tically all the gold Of the world, with
out adequate armies and armaments
to defend it, and the Europeans Will
be stripped Of their gold but possessed
of sufficient armies to make America
disgorge not only her gold, but all
else she has, America will be like the
unarmed but rich householder, at the
mercy Of the desperate burglar with
a pistol. Under the circumstances 1t
is claimed that America should arm
and prepare to defend herself while yet
there is time and before the inevitable
attacks.
The strongest argument on the 9TH.
er side as against preparedness is that
Of Mr.. Bryan, who appears to be in
the minority. His argument follows
the lines Of Christian teaching. he
does not admit that America is in
danger Of attack; but rather thinks
that the wide oceans will protect her.
However, carrying the argument still
further, he insists that Christianity
does not approve of bloodshed under
any conditions. He holds that in the
first place America should not have
yielded to the temptation to get rich
by selling munitions and engines OF
war to Europe; but since she has
done 80, it is better to surrender ev-
erything in the shape Of wealth rather
than sacrifice the lives Of the people
in war. He is simply opposed to pre-
paration for fighting because he does
not want to fight-because he does not
believe that any good can come from
fighting.
However strongly Mr.. Bryan's argu-
tions of the Prince Of Peace. there is
no good reason to suppose that those
arguments will prevail. Though no
man can find a single word In all the
teachings Of Christ that will justify
bloodshed under any circumstances,
even in war, mankind has not yet
reached the point where it is willing
to surrender it's wealth or its liberty
to avoid war.
But with 1t all. It Is the truth, the
everlasting truth, that most or the
lives that are sacrificed in war, repre-
sent the sacrifices OF men who have
neither independence or wealth, and

A telegram received here this af-
ternoon said thousands Of gallons OF
liquor were held at Glover, in York
county, having been ordered by North
Carolinians. The express company is
undecided as to whether to deliver II
or not, the attorney general ruling
that there is nothing to prevent the
North Carolinians getting their liquor,
and the judge and grand jury Of York
county and the Glover magistrate nav
ing been after them on the ground
that they violate the gallon a month
act.-Columbia special Of Saturday,
to the News and Courier.
The correspondent has evidently
been misinformed as to the facts in this
case. In the first place, whisky in the
Clover express office is not even hun
dreds of gallons. The express company
is perfectly willing to deliver IL
quor to any man who applies with
proper assurance that he has not
previously received a gallon within a
month. All the trouble, If trouble
there be, arises from the fact that the
magistrate in Kings Mountain town.
ship stands ready to carry out the in
structions Of the court and seize such
liquor as may start for the North
Carolina line.
