Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-07-30

1t is quite to be expected that The
Enquirer will be severely criticised in
certain quarters for printing so fully
the remarks of former Governor
Blease at Filbert yesterday, more par
ticularly the fierce criticism of Presi-
dent Wilson. We are o prepared to
endorse what Mr.. Blease said in this re-
spect because it is at very considerable
variance with our w views and i'm
pressions; but that has nothing to do
with the matter. When it comes to
things Of general public interest like
this, we try to print the news as r
rectly as we can, whether 1t Is pleas
ing to us or not. We have no apologies
to make in this matter; but for the
benefit Of those who would blame us,
we desire to suggest that all that was
said was said in the presence Of certain
Of the peoples duly elected representa-
tives, as we'll as Of many would-be
critics. The rules at the picnic were
not so strict but that anybody who de-
sired, whether a specially invited guest
or a bystander, could have gotten
the privilege Of a reply if he had so
desired. And If there had been a reply
we would have lone our best to give
the substance Of it.

PROHIBITION ELECTION.

Following Is the law bearing or the
prohibition election to be held in Sep
TENDER, as stated by D. W. Robinson,
secretary Of the steering committee OF
the Anti-Saloon League:
This election will be held on Tues
day, September IA. There will be
two ballots, as provided by the statute,
| one, For the manufacture and sale
| of alcoholic liquors and beverages In
| South Carolina" the other Against
| the sale and manufacture Of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in South Caro-
lima"
''There will be but one ballot box,
If the result of the election is against
the manufacture and sale, the county
dispensary will be closed after the Slst
Of December, and the sale Of alcoholic
liquors and beverages within the state
| will be unlawful after that time.
"This has nothing to do with the
gallon-a-month law, regulating the
importation Of liquors from outside
the state.
"All persons who are eligible and
| desire to vote in this election must
| have a registration certificate and q
| receipt showing the payment Of all
his taxes for the year 1914.
ITO vote in this election a person
must have been registered more than
80 days before the election, unless he
becomes of age within the 80 days
The only remaining opportunity to
| register for this election will be in Au-
gust. The books will be open for II
at least three days in August, in every
| county and at such place in the coun-
ty as the board of registration may
| designate, by two weeks public no
tice. In those counties having $4,000
| people or more, the books will be
| open for the first Is days Of August.
It is earnestly desired by those IA
voring prohibition that the election
shall be a full expression Of the peo-
| Pile, both for and against prohibition,
| And for that reason, all persons who
are eligible to do so, are urged to reg
| lister and vote.

Riahts of the Cotton Producer.

If the United States government de-
sires to insure a fair price for this
years cotton crop it can easily do so;
but the United States government is
not at all likely to have such a desire,
and unless the cotton producer uses
such means as he may have at hand
to help himself, he is not likely to be
helped very much.
It will be remembered that last
year there was a strenuous effort to
persuade congress to valorize cotton
at IL cents a pound, and that 1t would
do nothing of the kind. The events of
that if congress had attempted such
valoriZation as was desired, 1t would
have put millions of dollars into the
pockets of the cotton producers Of the
south. without one cent of expense
to the government.
AS it was, the only thing that the
government did was to go into the
marine insurance business for the ben
eft Of the shippers, thus enabling
them to make millions of dollars out
of cotton hat was bought from the
producers at a little more than half
the cost of production.
The farmers of the south were told
last year that they were legitimate
victims of circumstances that were
beyond human control. 1t was put up
to them that by reason of the utter
decentralization of the cotton manufac-
turing industry and commerce, by
reason of the European war, there

Ole Ia Not Interested"

It appears that Editor Grist Of The
Yorkville Enquirer, Is not interested
in the Home Coming Week which 1t Is
proposed to have in York in Septem-
Der. He writes as follows in the cur
rent issue of his paper:
"a committee Of Yorkville gentle
men, the same who accomplished what
has been accomplished in changing
the name Of the town from Yorkville
to York, are now arranging to cele-
brate the change and inaugurate the
new era Of prosperity and higher en-
deavor with a home coming week, TO
be held in September. The general
plan in so far as the same has been
agreed upon, is outlined in a commu-
nication published in various Sunday
papers as follows"
The foregoing is from the Anderson
Daily Mail of Wednesday.
We beg to say that u esteemed
contemporary is very much mistaken
in the superstition that Editor Grist'
Is not interested in the home coming
week, etc.
The Yorkville Enquirer, and Editor
| Grist are always interested in all that
| pertains to the welfare Of Yorkville
| and York county, and Of course 1t Is
| interested in this proposed home COM
ing week.
But The Yorkville Enquirer has no
part in this matter. 1t seems to belong
| entirely to people who prefer to get
along without asking my assistance
from The Yorkville Enquirer or taking
1t into their confidence.
The chairman Of the board Of trade,
the a y Of the town and the clerk OF
the town council and the attorney
thereof, have newspaper interests OF
their own and they seem to consider 1t
legitimate to use all the patronage and
pap they car get from the town for the
benefit of those interests.
The home coming week is the pri-
vate property Of the Board Of Trade
| and the town council and neither the
| Board Of Trade nor the town council
| considers that The Yorkville Enquirer
has any part in the affairs of the town
except to pay taxes and the like.
The information that was %introduc-
ed in the paragraph quoted by the
| Mail was furnished to different news
papers throughout the state: but not
to The Enquirer, and the only way
The Enquirer had Of getting it was
by clipping it from n Of these pa
pers.
The fact that The Enquirer publish
ed the information would seem to us
to be ample evidence of interest.
The Enquirer of course prefers first
hand information; but does not hold
itself above printing secondhand in
formation when the same promises to
be of interest to any considerable num-
Der of it's readers.
