ihTElLIcENcER's $4,000 CLUB
NOMINEES ANNOUNCED FOR
FIRST TIME.
Vote Standing VIII BE Published
Wednesday-Now Is Best Time
To Enter Race For Val
liable Prizes.

That many OF the newly elected
$4,000 Club members are ready for
the signal to be given that marks the
real beginning in the Can't Lose"
prize race is evident by the number
OF people who have nominated them
selves and the number that know they
we're nominated by friends.
Nearly 100 popular men and women
from all parts Of Ohio county have
been nominated and their names are
published to-day for the first time.
Many OF these have been nominated
by some friend. Most Of them, no
doubt will appreciate the compliment
and take an active interest in the cam
paign. while others may sit back and
expect their friends to vote for them
without their showing any signs OF
making n start for themselves.
IL o u name is among the initial
list OF nominees. and you have not
made my effort towards procuring
votes. you should sit up and take no
tce at once Of the many good things
The lntelligencer is going TO give away
on December is to the "l5. 900 Club"
members. There are three automo
bffes. and you have just as good a
chance OF winning one of them as any
other candidate. II IS simply up to
you TO let your friends know that you
are In the ace to stick. The beauty
OF the proposition is that you can't
lose anything. for every active candi-
date who does not win one of the 46
prizes wins a cash commission.
Vote Standing WEDNESDAY.
The FIRST votes sent in for each can
didate will be counted tonight and
prepared for publication TO the credit
of the candidates In Wednesdays is
u Of The Intellieencer. Considering
the number OF automobiles and valu-
able prizes 10 be won, II seems tina at
least two or three hundred candidates
should get into the race. Many OF
the candidates have o succeeded in
starting with any subscription votes to
their credit.
Now is the best time to enter the
race. Nominate yourself and send in
any kind OF a subscription payment to
The I~ntelligencer and you will be en-
titled TO 5000 EXTRA VOTES in ad-
dition TO the number OF votes the sub
scription will count. according to the
schedule shown below. Your nomina-
ton counts Tor l.Oe0 votes. IL Is an
easy matter to get several thousand
votes to you credit.
Candidates may enter at any time.
but now is the best time to get your
name in the list and be ready for the
start when the first batch OF votes are
credited to the candidates tomorrow.
IL will not require very much work.
or so very many votes. TO win one Of
the grand prizes in this campaign. A
little EFFORT during p small part of your
spare time should easily turn the
trick for you. The more candidates
there are I'm the race the less work
and the smaller number OF votes IL will
require for you TO win one of the au-
tomobiles. II is simply a proposition
or seeing our friends about the cam
palSn. as you come across them from
now until the 18th of December.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MET.

The York county board Of equal
ization held its annual meeting in the
office of Auditor Broadus M. Love
last Tuesday, and was organized by
the reelection of Mr.. j. T. Crawford
Of McConnellsville as chairman. The
following represented their respective
township boards Of assessors at the
meeting: Bethel, ]. B. Ford; Bethesda.
]. T. Crawford: Broad River, J.. D.
Whitesides; Rullock's Creek, J. c.
Blair; Catawba, j. r. Gettys; Ebenez-
er, T. M. Jackson; Fort Mill, 8. H
Epps, Sr.; Kings Mountain, W. D.
Moore; city of Rock Hill, W. w. Mil
Ter; York, R. E. Mcfarland; town OF
Fort Mill, L. A. Harris; town Of York
vile, w. M. Mcconnell.
There were only a few complaints
as to alleged inequitable assess
ments, and the previous recommen-
dation hat banks be assessed on a
basis Of 35 per cent of their aggregate
Of capital, surplus and undivided pro-
fits, was confirmed.
The state board Of equalization which
was formerly composed of the chair
men of the various county equalization
boards in the state was abolished
under the act by which the new tax
commission was created, and this COM
mission Is now vested with all the
powers formerly vested in the state
board Of equalization.
County Auditor Love has received
instructions from Chairman Jones of
the tax commission to forward the re-
turns Of all York county banks, tex
tile industries, oil mills, ETC., to the
office of the tax commission in Col
umbia and has already complied with
the order.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-04-02

According to the opinion of the at
torney general, a synopsis Of which Is
published elsewhere in today's Enqui-
rer, if the laws of South Carolina are
not enforced, it will certainly M be
on account of any lack Of power on the
part of the governor. The governor
can remove anybody from office for
failure to observe the laws, or failure
to enforce them. If the people Of South
Carolina, therefore, desire their laws
enforced, it is up to them to get after
their responsible local authorities and
if the local authorities refuse to act,
they should put the matter up to the
governor, and if the governor shows a
disposition to do his duty, they should
stand by him to the limit. All that is
needed to make South Carolina the
greatest state in the Union is strict en-
forcement of all laws in letter and in
spirit and on everybody alike.

Tho paragraph in last Tuesdays En-

Tho paragraph in last Tuesdays En-
quirer referring to a slight fall OF
snow, was written early in the morn
ing when 1t was assumed that by noon
1t would all be over and forgotten. The
snow continued to fall all day, and all
night, and It times it came down quite
heavily. The ground was pretty well
covered by Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning it was evident that the
depth Of the snow would have been
anywhere from 6 to 10 inches had 1t
not melted almost as rapidly as 1t fell.
BY Wednesday night the snow had en-
tirely disappeared. 1t was easily the
heaviest snow fall Of the year; but as
Is usual with early spring SHOWS, 1t
was too wet to stay on the ground.
Naturally the impression will go out
that the local military company has
been mustered out Of the service be-
cause Of the disgraceful row at the
state campaign meeting in Yorkville
last summer. AS a matter Of fact,
however, IIiS 10 " y
bers of the local company were In no
wise responsible for that row. II the
reason for mastering the company out
was other than has been officially
stated, then about the most that a be
said on a speculative basis Is that 1t
has been made the victim Of antagon-
istic friction that has existed between
the First regiment headquarters and
adjutant generals office during the
past four years, and with other d.
visions Of the National Guard during
the previous two terms Of General
Boyd. 1t Is quite commonly held that
previous to the election Of General
Moore, the First regiment headquar-
tiers dominated the National Guard OF
the state and that when General Moore
was elected he set about trying to
change things. With some Of the de-
velopments that have grown out OF his
efforts, a large part Of the public Is
pretty familiar; but as to the real in
wardness Of 1t all there Is very little
general knowledge. That there Is no
love lost between the former First reg
lment headquarters and the adjutant
generals office is pretty generally un-
derstood, not only in Yorkville; but
throughout the state. and further de-
velopments are being watched In many
quarters with very considerable inter-.
oaf "

FIELD DAY TOMORROW.

All indications point to a record
breaking crowd to be in Yorkville to-
morrow on account of the County
Field Day exercises. While some peo-
Pile have the idea that the day is to be
one in which only the children are in
terested, they are very much mistaken
because the programme contains many
features of attraction to the older
folks.
Reports coming TO Yorkville from
schools in all sections Of the county
are to the effect that they are coming
in buggies, in wagons, walking and
in every other way. Profs. r. H. Holi-
day and B. c. Riddle. superintendent
of the mental and athletic contests,
respectively, have received from
thirty-fve schools the names of pupils
to be entered in the various events
and have reason to believe that many
others will qualify tomorrow.
Governor Manning and State Super
intendent Of Education Swearingen
are expected to arrive from Columbia,
tomorrow morning over the C. & y.
W., and the special train from Fort
Mill and the eastern section of York
county will arrive in Yorkville about
10 o'clock.
A Rock Hill citizen who was in
Yorkville this morning said that the
Rock Hill schools would be largely
represented, and that there would be
many patrons to come as well, latter
desiring to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to hear the governor.
The parade Of the school children
through the streets Is expected to be
the largest ever witnessed in Yorkville.
1t will be lead by the Hickory Grove
and Tirzah bands.
Every arrangement down to the
minutest detail concerning Field Day
has been completed. and the authori-
ties are positive that nothing car &C.
cur to mar the success of the occasion
except rough weather.

MI. George w. Brown has resign
ed from the board Of trustees Of the
graded school.
Prof. B. c. Riddle has been re-
elected superintendent Of the Yorkville
Graded school, but has not yet signi-
fed his acceptance.
- The Yorkville Graded school
baseball team plays the Chester team
on the formers diamond this after
noon at 4 o'clock. The teams are pref
ty evenly matched and a good game
Is expected.
AT a meeting Of Absalom Cody
Council Masons Of Yorkville, Tuesday
night, Mr.. o. E. Wilkins and Revs. T.
T. Walsh and Henry Stokes were in
itiated into the order. Among the out
of-town officials attending the meeting
were o. Frank Hart Of Columbia; DR..
NJ. H. Sandifer Of Rock Hill, and DR..
]. G. Johnson and Joseph Lindsay Of
Chester.
The public drinking fountain, for
horses which has stood in front Of the
court house for many years past, has
been moved to East Liberty street
near the store Of the Kirkpatrick
Belk Co. The town authorities propose
to build a modern sanitary fountain
there.
- Mr.. ]. E. Johnson has let the con-
tract for a new residence to Messrs.
j. ]. Keller & Co., Of Yorkville. The
residence Is to be erected on the
McAdams lot on North Congress
street, and it is understood that work
on the building is to be begun right
away.
- Yorkville people who do not want
anything from the town treasury other
than what Is justly and equitably
theirs, and Yorkville people who do not
want the taxes they are required to
pay to be used for purposes in which
they have no interest and from which
they share no benefit, should remem-
Der that under the constitution and
laws Of the state municipal funds may
be used only for corporate purposes.
- Yorkville's cleanup campaign
was concluded yesterday. The board
of health's garbage wagon has been
moving steadily nearly all the week
and great quantities Of cans and vari-
GUS kinds Of filth have been removed
from backyards, lots and other pre-
misses. There is no question Of the
fact that the town presents a lore
clearly appearance than it did a
month ago.

The situation in which the warrir

The situation in which the warning
nations Of Europe find themselves with
reference to the liquor evil, reminds us
in an indirect way of a story that the
late Rev. DR.. Robert Latham wrote Of
the Catawba Indians of this county.
The Catawbas had many noble traits,
including that Of constancy; but like
all other aboriginees were Unfortunately
fond of liquor, and it was not unusual
for large parties of them to make long
Journeys of many days for supplies. On
their way home they would drink to
excess; but lever until they had depu-
ted at least half Of their number to alb
solutely abstain, under penalty of death
if they broke over, to act as guards.
The trouble with the European states
men upon whom the prosecution of the
war is now falling is that they have
been neglecting this matter for so long
that it is a very serious question as to
whether it is not too late.
