LIQUOR at Glover.

Getting Liquor at Glover.
A well known Glover man who was
in Yorkville Saturday, remarked that
liquor shipments to Glover had great
ly increased during the past several
months. An Enquirer reporter ven
tured that perhaps more folks were
ordering the stuff since the gallon q
month law had regulated the quantity
one person could order. The Glover
citizen discredited the suggestion by
stating, No, sir; that Is not 1t. Over
in CASTOR and Cleveland counties OF
North Carolina, folks are not allowed
TO order liquor. So they merely order
their liquor shipped to Glover ana
come for it. l have seen quite a
number Of them at Glover after 1t: 1t
is little risky, though, because II
North Carolina officer chances to see
them as they come over the line with
the stuff obtained through the Glover
express office, they are subject to
fine and the fine is n pretty heavy
one"

Old Reuben Dead.
Reuben, the we'll known horse that
was so long a favorite Of the York
Vile fire department, is dead. So Mr;
John M. Williford of Leslie. reported
to The Enquirer on last Saturday.
It will be remembered by many OF our
readers that in March. 1914, Reuben
broke one of the small bones in his
left foreleg by striking it with his
right hoof. The injury was slow In
healing and it was finally decided to
sell the animal. Mr. Williford was the
he said: II do not think i have ever
owned a horse of which / thought
more. After he became my property,
I gave the injured leg careful atten-
tion and had 1t rubbed every day. The
swelling had almost entirely disap-
peared, and the bone was all right ap-
parently: but on last Saturday he
managed in some way to break another
leg and the case was so hopeless that
there was nothing to do but have him
shot. That was done"
Hunters License Act.
The hunters license act passed at
the last session of the general assem-
bly,, and which applies to only IL OF
the A counties in the state, became
effective yesterday. Under this law
every person who would hunt In the
county must pay license tax OF Sl.l0
per year and he who would hunt in the
state outside Of the bounds OF his
own county, must pay a license tax OF
So per year. In addition all such per-
sons would have to obtain the consent
of all persons upon whose lands the
hunter might wish to pursue his
sport. Landlords and tenants and
their children, however, under the law
are exempt from license to hunt upon
their respective freeholds and lease
holds. York county is among those
which are exempt from this law,
which is only effective in the coun-
ties Of Lexington, Barnwell, Beaufort,
Calhoun, Charleston, Chester, Darling
ton, Dillon, Dorchester, Florence,
Greenville, Hampton, Jasper, Laurens,

Flirted With Death.
Passengers coming to Yorkville on
Southern passenger train No. Sc, last
Friday night, tell Of an amusing and
what might have been tragic inch
dent, which occurred between King
Creek and Smyrna. While moving
along a straight piece Of track the
powerful light on the engine showed
the body of man lying with his head
hardly more than twelve inches from
the cross ties. The engineer sounded
the engine WHISTLE but still the man
did not move. Then the engine came to
a stop within a few feet of the pros
trate figure. The engineer and fire
man leaped to the ground, and taking
hold Of the mans shoulder attempted
to wake him. There was nothing do
ing, since he was so drunk he was
actually stiff. Passengers on the train
who had become alarmed at the trains
stopping at such a place, sought TO
make inquiry and were met with the
reply, Nothing the matter, we are
just moving a drunk" After working
with the victim of booze for few
minutes in an attempt to restore him
to consciousness, the trainmen gave
up the job as hopeless and laid the
man in a ditch beside the track. The
train passed on. The sleeper slept on.
1t Is doubtful If he even now knows
that he was mighty close to death
probably great deal closer than ne
ever will be again until he is van
nnished hy the Grim Spectre.
