Several of the county officers to-
gether with their assistants enjoyed a
moonlight picnic at Linwood College
last Thursday evening. They were ac-
companied by several of their friends,
the trip to the college being made in
automobiles. The workers in the
county courthouse are pretty much
like one big family and they are of
opinion that an occasional outing like
that Of Thursday evening helps tighten
their labors all around quite a bit.
According to officials Of the office of
the county superintendent Of educa-
ton, there Is an Unprecedented demand
for school teachers throughout York
county just now, trustees seeking to
employ teachers for the fall terms of
their respective schools. Very few of
the rural schools have secured teachers
for the fall terms and it is quite a
problem to get those desired. Practi-
cally all Of the rural schools will in
crease teachers salaries this fall; but
thisi Increase has thus far proved not
much Of an inducement. Salaries be-
ing offered lady teachers range from
$50 to $50.
Bullock's Creek township citizens
propose to organize law enforcement
society along similar lines to the Broad
River Township Improvement associa-
ton, organized at Hickory Grove sew
eral weeks ago. 1--WE have simply got
to do something" said Magistrate ]. l.
Duncan, Of Bullock's Creek township,
who was in Yorkville yesterday, in dis
cussing the matter. "The situation is
as it is in Broad River and 1t seems
that two distilleries spring up for every
one that may constable and I manage
to destroy" It Is understood that there
Is to be q meeting Of Bullock's Creek
township people at Blairsville school
house Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock,
at which time some steps toward Or
ganization will be taken.
That sales Of buggies-and good
buggies, are increasing right along with
the increase of sales of automobiles
throughout York county is quite
noticeable Attention was brought to
the fact yesterday by Mr.. T. Cleve-
land Dunlap of the Philadelphia sec
ton who said that the number OF
buggies was increasing right along
with the number Of automobiles and
Fords. Pretty nearly every colored
farmer in my section who Is any
farmer at all has recently bought him
q new buggy" said Mr.. Dunlap, "and
the number appears to be growing all
the time. Quite few negroes are
buying automobiles too. 1t looks like
the dealers in buggies are going to do
a good business for quite a long time
to come"
This springs honey crop has been
very poor, said Mr.. Henry Simpson OF
Catawba Junction, to Here and There,
the other day. Mr.. Simpson Is one OF
the largest bee keepers in the country,
and there are few men anywhere who
know more about bees, or who handle
them with greater profit. He says that
he took only few thousand pounds
of honey from his bees this spring and
he is sorry that he took any at all be-.
cause owing to the general failure OF
the honey supply he expects to nave 70
feed his bees. It Is the poorest sea-
son he has experienced for many years.
There Is a chance, however, that the
bees will be able to make another crop
from cotton blooms, fall Weeds' etc"
and he may get good yield yet
Farmer boys of, York county who
have recently gone back to the farm
after being discharged from the army,
say that the old job is going rather
hard with them, especially those VINO
have been in service year or more.
While soldering Is not the easlest Jop
in the world it is a work quite differ
ent from farm work. A Kings Noun
tain township man whose son recently
returned from overseas said to the re-
porter Friday: "Well that boy OF mine
has gone back to work on the farm;
but he isn't nearly so good hand as
he was before he went to war. He Is
out of practice in way and ne Is
simply not able to stand up to 1t yet.
Why yesterday morning bright ana
early he went to work in the fields:
but he had to give up at dinner time
while I went along as usual. He Will
come around all right but 1t Is going
to take a. little time" Quite NUMBER
of overseas men have said recently that
the old job is going hard with them.
Expressions written on the faces OF
the seventy-fve or more people VINO
attended a meeting Of the Broad
River Township Improvement associa-
tion held in Sharon school house Fri
day afternoon Is sufficient evidence OF
the fact that they propose to do every
thing possible to put booze out OF busi-
ness in their respective communities.
Furthermore, II was evident that they
do not propose to let interest Ole IN
the Broad River Township Improve
ment association II 1t can possibly De
helped. The association wants as
many ladies to join as will and as In
ducement to get them to join, has de.
cided to require no membership zee OF
lady members. The association pro-
poses to look after the abolition OF the
illegal liuuor traffic in not only Broad
River. but York and Bullock's Creek
as we'll and more than one
of the speakers at Fridays meeting
urged that the association members
not let township lines curtail their ef-
forts in trying to secure information
for the benefit of officers Of the law.
Perhaps one Of the prettiest pros
poets for a bumper crop to be found
in any section Of the county Is a II IL
acre patch on the Lincoln road on the
northern outskirts of Yorkville which
Is being worked by Mr.. Raymond Car
roll. The bottoms which have repu-
