In ponnCvlUQ
where they knew of Yorkville, S. c..
but no York, and asking for further
instructions. Norris wired that York
Vile is York and asked that the heater
be sent on. A party who came over
from Rock Hill yesterday morning
saws that when the train reached this
place and the conductor announced
York" a passenger who remained
unmoved in his seat, asked the gentle
man who was getting off here, How
far is it to Yorkville?" This Is York
ville," replied the gentleman. and the
passenger got off, profuse with thanks:
IF you had not told me-" he said, u
would have gone right on
- There was nothing doing among
the horse traders yesterday, although
as a rule salesday in November Is one
Of the best Of the year. What the
trouble was is not known. There were
several we'll known swappers in town
and they had a number Of pretty good
looking horses and lots Of plugs. One
horse trader who was asked about the
matter, said that there was plenty OF
stuff here to swap but they were just
not talking right" Another ventured
the assertion that If it had been lit
tie colder with a drizZling rain, and
plenty Of liquor flowing, there would
have been lots Of trading" Another said
that since the imposition Of the license
tax, the horse traders who were wont
to come here from a distance would
come no longer for the simple reason
that they were somewhat confused as
to whether or not they would have to
pay a daily license to do business.
Anyway, whatever the reason, business
was dull among the horse traders and
the back lots were cleared Of the few
traders who were here long before sun
down.
