Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-10-15
Not much feeding Of meal and hulls

to fatten cattle this year.
The high price Of cotton seed adds
very materially to the value Of al
kinds Of hay.
Il 10 quite common to see gooc
stands Of oats coming up In the cottor
throughout the county and that Is al
encouraging sign.
On this day last year, where cottor
was salable at all the best price real
lied was 81 cents. Now the ruling
price Is about twice those figures.
A sworn official who will knowingly
disregard a law on the chance Of no
being called down Is fully as good a,
the fellow who will appropriate anoth'
er mans ten-dollar bill on the same
principle.
Those of our subscribers who SET
proper to recommend The Enquirer tt
their neighbors and friends may resi-
assured of our sincere appreciation
The primary purpose Of The Enquiries
is the benefit Of the public generally
and the more support we have the
more useful we can be.
Tho recent dollar day sales in York.
vile furnished a most significan,
hint Of the value Of advertising space
in The Yorkville Enquirer. Those who
have really attractive inducements to
offer can do no better than to make
them known through the columns OF
this paper.
There 10 not nearly so much mai
order business throughout this county
as there was some few years back
In the first place, most people have
learned that the same kind Of an ar
ticle costs more through the mail order
process than II purchased from a loca'
merchant, and in the second place
there Is a wider appreciation Of the
economic error Of purchasing from
broad things that can be had at home
II 10 a mighty nice thing. maybe. fol
the lawyers and other officials to have
a newspaper Of their own In which to
advertise foreclosure sales: but this
arrangement also a prove very ex-
pensive and burdensome to the mort
eager who has to pay the bills and who
may be deprived Of q considerable
portion Of the value Of his land by
Of his not having gotten the
best possible advertising value that
might have been had for his money.
Il 10 q source Of pride and satisfae-
ton to those who are best acquainted
with the situation, that York county
has made more progress in rural ed
vocational matters than any county In
South Carolina, and thai she stands
we'll at the head of the list in all es-
sentials along this line. 1t has not
been many years back since any old
kind Of shack was entirely satisfac-
tory for a school house. A structure
Of logs, with the cracks partially
daubed with mud, was easily passable,
and 1t vas considered no serious draw
back II the windows were missing and
the floor sleepers were only partially
covered with planks. But the old time
has passed. People are not
satisfied with anything like that any
more. The school house has come to
be one Of the ~neatest, ~cleanest and best
constructed in the community. Every
is growing more and more
proud Of its school house, and when
the building Is not n to be proud OF
the tendency and desire Is to get
better. The average school
attendance is increasing steadily, and
there are districts which are able to
boast that practically every child Of
school age is in school. And the most
thing Of it all Is that nobody
is satisfied. In every district Of the
county the predominating sentiment
Is that no matter how good things
may be now, they should be better.
