WITHIN n TOWN

Cool weather began to show uI
Tuesday night, and since then there
has been more Of an indication on the
part Of the people to get busy.
The Kings Mountain road is now
the most popular highway for pleasure
out of Yorkyille; but when the Rock
Hill road is completed a few miles
further the automobile traffic will
likely go in hat direction.
- Cotton Is coming into the Yorkville
Cotton Oil Co.'s ginnery at a rapid
rate and the gins are running
steadily from early morning unit
dark. SiXty-five bales were ginned here
on Wednesday.
- Boys in the local Graded school
have already begun the practice OF
football and the prospects Of their
having a strong eleven this season are
pretty good. There are a number OF
students in the school Of sufficient
size and ability to. develop into good
players.
MIR. G. w. S. Hart has resigned
from the board of trustees of the
Yorkville Graded school. The news
was first rumored about the streets
last Wednesday morning: but it vas
not practicable to get any satisfactory
information. A reporter asked Mr.. b.

price Of millinery and notions at the
Thomson company's store are quite
reasonable this year, the hats ranging
from $3.50 to Sc. or course there are
patterns more costly but they are very
few.
What was considered one Of the
pretty patterns at Thomson's was a
large picture hat with q transparent
brim Of gold caught on the side with
two pink French plumes. The hat
had a large draped crown Of black vel
vet and a broad black velvet binding
on the edge Of the brim. 1t was
caught on the side Of the crown with
a black jet ornament.
A hat which was admired by a
number of ladies was a large shape
covered with purple velvet, the top of
the brim being inlaid with gold and a
crown Of the same color. The crown
was a soft affair and rather high. Its
only trimming was an ostrich plume
in purple and fur. The under brim
Of the hat vas Of a pretty shade OF
purple.
Visitors were attracted to a large
black velvet hat trimmed In gray fur
and having a turquoise ostrich band.
1t was caught in the back with an
ornament Of cut steel and Jet. The
crown or the hat Is very low and ls
also of black velvet.
A tailored sailor hat attracted con
siderable attention. 1t also was of
black velvet with a narrow band OF
gros grain around the edge Of Its
wide brim. At regular intervals little
dots Of hand embroidered gold ap-
peared on the brim. The only trim
ming on the medium sized crown was
a black and Rold chenille on the
front. Another beauty cen was a
large sailor Of black velvet with q
very high crown. Its only trimming
was a pair Of pink wings across the
front.
In marked contrast to the great ma
jority of pretty headdresses seer at
Thomson's was a large black velvet
shape with a particularly tall crown
Of white bengaline silk. It's only
trimming was a black fancy caught
with a jet ornament.

PUBLIC OPINION
Fundamental Element Not Subject to
Editorial Caprice.

GoihoI'di SoP'iSSs
The State" of Columbia, is reputed
to be the greatest single influence in
South Carolina. Many contend that
Gonzales went as ambassador to Gu
ba, but even these folk look to the
State as a guiding influence.
Last Tuesdays referendum election
raises an interesting question.
When Cole L. Blease was twice
elected governor in spite of the States
consistent and unrelenting opposition,
the matter was easily explained by the
fact that the States clientele is linn
tied to the most intelligent people of
South Carolina, while it has practic-
ally no circulation and therefore no
influence among the class to which
Blease made his greatest appeal.
But this referendum election was
another matter. The majority of the
men of South Carolina who vote for
gu]bernatorial candidates could not or
did not vote in this election. Those
who voted were qualified electors,
presumably of the class that supports
the State.
The State has stood for local OPP
tion-or at least has opposed prohi-
bition-not with it's usual sureness and
skill. TO be sure, but in a rather hesi-
tating, shame-faccd way that yet left
no doubt as to it's desires.
Wherefore, then, did prohibition
win? Has the State lost it's influence
even among the CLIENTELE it c%herishes?
Hardly that, l fancy. The truth of
the matter is. the State tried to lead
its following into a moral wrong and
the followers, proving more righte-
Gus than the leader, baked.
From which it follows that, since
newspapers are but q reflection Of the
minds of their readers, the State will
shortly see a great light and take one
step up in the moral scale. 1t may be
stubborn about it, for editors will get
bull-hcaded and swell-headed, n
love to preach at without being
preached to, but the change will come,
for a tlat.-FountCin Inn Tribune.
