Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-12-14

The cost of the Isenhower trial was
somewhat over one thousand dollars
and Fairfield county still has bal
ance to pay.
The new courthouse Is quite a COM
Portable place to work in. Steam
heat beats the old open CRATES all to
pieces, and then numerous other con-
veniences leave but little If anything
to be desired.
Even if there was no statute on the
subject, the idea that the people OF
York county are not entitled to know
how much their public officials re.
ceive for their services Is simply alb.
surd. Why If the general assembly
should attempt to say the people have
no right to such information, there is
hardly a magistrate even, in the land
who would hesitate to declare such a
law unconstitutional.
The Enquirer inadvertently omitted
the name Of w. A. Thomasson Of FIJI
bert, juror who was objected to by
the defense in the Isenhower case
Tuesday Mr. Thomasson, when plac-
ed on his voir dire, said he had not
talked about the case since the TRACE
dy and had read nothing about it. The
initials Of Mr.. Spencer, who was also
challenged by the defense are wv. H.
instead Of wv. A."
Mr.. T. c. Barnett of Bethel, ap.
preached representative Of The En-
quirer on the streets a few days age
to pay for an advertisement he in
serted recently offering some fine oats
for sale. A friend who was present
badgeringly suggested that Mr.. Barn.
EFT should not pay for the ad. unless
he sold his oats. 81 sold enough tc
pay for the ad., and / am still selling
so 1 reckon 1 will have to pay" said
Mr.. Barnett.
Because of the great issue involved
and the intense public interest in the
case, The Enquirer has made specia
effort to give as full and as satisfactory
report Of the Isenhower trial as II
could. Due care has been exercised
to give both sides the benefit Of all it:
strongest points, and altogether the re-
port has required close to ten Thousand
words. It is the fullest and most COM
prehensive newspaper report that ha!
ever been made Of a single York coun.
ty case, and people who are competen
to judge, say that it Is both impartia
and fair. The Enquirer feels proud o.
it's efforts, and all the more proud be-
cause Of numerous evidences Of ap.
probation on the part Of it's readers.
All subscribers to The Enquirer
whose subscriptions expire in January
and who desire the paper for another
year, but whose names have not ye
been returned, will please see club
maker and have the matter attended
to at once. There is no good ground fol
anybody to complain against us FOL
stopping a paper at the expiration OF
a subscription. In the first place
when we have filled out a subscrip-
ton, we have complied with our parI
Of the contract, and in the second
place, the postal laws impose a penal
ty upon us for assuming to send the
paper to a subscriber without authori-
ty from that subscriber. This Law
was made for the especial purpose OF
preventing publishers from imposing
on subscribers; but as is very well
understood, The Enquirer has never
been guilty Of such imposition, even
when the law was less laxly enforced
than now.

This thing of allowing France or
anybody else to take German or any
other citizens off Of American vessels
does not look good. The war Of 1912
was fought because the United States
objected to allowing England to take
Englishmen of Of American vessels.
It is true that the issue was never set
tied; but all the same the idea does
not seem to set any better now than
it did then. theoretically, at least,
the deck of an American vessel is
American soil.

his hands a number of writs Of eject

families of Judson mills, the said
writs requiring him to put the effects
of the families out on the ground. The
sheriff declined to serve the writs last
Saturday on account Of the snow, and
yesterday. he telegraphed Governor
Manning for further instructions. Re-
ceiving no reply from the governor, he
told the telegraph operator to repeat
the message every hour until further

The Enquirer has never stood higher

the general public than now, and

We can make the next issue eight

The former governor asked the jury
why the state had not produced the
bullet with which Raleigh Boulware
was killed. He declared they dare not
do II because Ernest Isenhower was
shooting a 3S-calibre pistol while the
bullet which killed Boulware was a

The speaker declared that 1t would
have been impossible for Isenhower to
have killed Boulware, saying that from
the position in which the two men
were standing and the range OF the
bullet in Boulware's body, 1t would
have made such a thing a physical
impossibility.

The complications in Greece and
what that country will do to protect
it's neutrality from violation by the
belligerentS has been a subject of in
ternational interest for some months
and the matter has become more ac-
cute within the past few weeks. In
the effort to head the Germans, Aus
trians and Bulgarians off in their pro-
greSs from north to south through
Serbia, the French in deliberate vio-
lation of Greek neutrality. landed q
large force at Salonika, Greece, a few
miles south of the Serbian border.
Greece did not like this; but was
forced to put up with it because Eng
land threatened to blockade her ports
otherwise. The original expectation
Of the French was that they would be
able to check the Germans, Austrians
and Bulgarians in southern Serbia;
but this did not materialize. The Ger
man Allies ran right over the French,
English and Servian forces, and COM
PEELED them to retreat into Greece.
Then came up the question as to
whether Greece would permit the
German Allies to follow. Greece, feel
ing helpless. seems to have decided
that she will not interfere; but has
not exactly said so. The British and
French are afraid that Greece might
attack them and they are asking for
Greek rehabilitation, Greece is hesi-
tating on that. There was fear on the
part of the Greek people that if the
Germans came down after the Allies

FOSTER LEASE
BRIEF SHOWS
SOME REAL FACTS

Interesting information is con-
tanned In briefs field by the Indian
Territory Illuminating Oil company
with the secretary. Of the interior, In
respect 10 its application for a renewal
OF the Foster lease. In the first place
these briefs declare that there is no
proposition to renew leases on $50, 600
acres Of oil territory for any length
of time. Counsel points out that il had
been demonstrated that the oil pro-
ducing acreage Of this vast lcasehold
is less. than $4,000 acres in which at
least half OF the l61 Independent conf
panies, as sublessees will be interested

arate concerns 143 have carried on
actual development work, and Of this
number. 81 subessees have condemned
their acreage by drilling dry holes,
have no production and are inactive;
IS have not drilled. In II years nearly
800 dry holes have been drilled in
testing out the territory. They say
the greater part Of this territory has
been hopelessly condemned and prac-
tically removed from consideration.
The Indian Territory Illuminating OIL
proposes that In the new
lease there shall be contained apt
terms and conditions which will pro-
vide for the surrender Of acreage in
the event that the same Is not drilled,
under new rules in the future, in the
first place by sublessee companies.
and. secondarily. by the parent COM
pany.

all vessels in the merchant marine Of
the world. In 1904 the number of
such Oil-carryng vessels was 232,
with an aggregate tonnage of $50, 900.
Five years later the gross tonnage had
increased TO nearly 100000. Since
then the tonnage has more than
doubled. Commenting upon the stu
alton the Petroleum Review says:
For the past quarter of a century
the ocean oil-transport business has
been advancing at a rate practically
unequaled in the annals of any other
branch of marine expansion until to-
day we find petroleum products being
carried in bulk upon practically every
sea, and journeys neCessitating six or
seven weeks continuous steaming
quite common things It has been a
marvellous expansion, yet one not
easily pictured From the far-off
days when the carriage of petroleum
in bulk on the Caspian sea was intro
duced the hand Of evolution has been
steadily at work. and the result we
see today in an enormous fleet OF
nearly 500 Oil-tankers moving upon
almost every sea of the globe.
Increase in the number Of vessels
has not been as marked as the in
crease i'm the dimensions of the later
built ones there being today 125
tankers averaging each 5,328 tons,
and one company having ten of it's
twenty vessels with capacity OF 1000
tons each. Another advance noted Is
the growing popularity of the in
ternal- driven vessels, increasing the
economies Of transportation of the
valuable product"
