Because Of the appearance OF spin
nj meningitis in that city, the Ches-
ter board Of health has ordered the
closing Of schools, churches and
theaters until February II. Parents
are requested to keep their children
of the streets az much as possible.
and people are advised not to con-
.rogate anywhere unnecessarily.
A valued subscriber to The En-
Iuirer has given us a calling down
for reproducing from the Gaffney
Ledger not long ago. that interesting
sketch Of the battle OF Cowpens.
without calling the writer OF the
sketch down for his unpardonable
break In saying that the battle Of
rowpers took place In advance of
the battle Of Kings Mountain. Kings
Mountain was fought on October Z.
1850. and Cowpens was fought on
January II. 1881.
People who have had to travel the
roads since the recent thaw say they
have never before known such con-
ditions. Almost without exception all
the leading roads are in horrible con =
dition: and the common testimony Is
that il is as bad pulling down I'LL as
il Is up hill. Automobile traffic has
virtually been suspended. and even
The roads. There is no news in this
paragraph to the rural carriers over
the county: hut other people who are
so fortunate as to he able to remain
in their homes during these days may
rely upon II as correct information.
Mr.. j. Frank McElwee. food admin
istrator for York county. went to
| columbia yesterday to attend a
meeting Of all the county admins
traitors of the state with the state ad-
ministrator. The object of the meet
ing was to discuss the rules and reg
ulations banded down from Federal
Administrator Hoover ir order to ar
rive at such an understanding OF the
whole food administration problem
as will enable uniform administration
of the law in all Of the couI'as X
is probable that there will tN ~
able definite Information~ about the
whole matter in time for the next is
sue Of The Enquirer.
More or less interest has been ex-
| cited in Yorkville and in other parts
of the county within the past few
days because Of certain slight differ
ences in the design on two issues of
the new twenty-five cents pieces. on
| one design there are three stars un-
der the eagle and on the other the
space under the eagle is blank. Also
| there Is slight difference in the po-
sition OF the olive branch held by the
| lady Of the Death battalion on the
two coins. Some people have picked
up the notion that because Of these
differences one of the coins Is coun-
| terfcit and the other is genuine: but
while We have nothing definite OH
the subject, we think this Is very
| likely only 4 notion or n fancy. In
| the first place. ut the present high
price OF silver countcrfeiters would
| hardly waste their valuable time for
the difference In bullion and coin con-
| verted into quarter dollars. and in the
second place. countcrfeiters, when
they initiate at all. they initiate ex-
actly. They are not inclined to take
| any liberties with original designs.
The probability is that the slight al
teration in tho design as shown by
the two quarters arises out Of the
fact that one is being minted in Phil
adelphia while the other is being
minted in San Francisco and the two
mints would have means OF identify
ing their respective outputs.
