Thers is to be no Filbert picnic this


year.
Folks who used to know, seem 10
have forgotten how to use the split
log drag any more.
The Lincoln road between Yorkrille
and Filbert is almost impossible TO
automobiles. Even a Ford has a hard
time in getting by.
York county's bad roads are coming
in for much criticism on the part OF
people living both within the county
and without.
The York county watermelon crop
is in full bloom Just now and every
day loads of melons are being brought
into the various towns Of the county
for sale.
York county farmers from every
section Of the county say that the
rains Of the past few days have been
all that could be desired and that as
result thereof crop prospects, both for
cotton and corn are much brighter
Railroad men say that passenger
traffic on all the railroads Is heavier
now than it has ever been, especially
on the Marion & Kingville division Of
the Southern. The Sunday travel is
always heavy.
A York county citizen who was in
Yorkville, yesterday for jury service
said that one reason the county has
no more money available for road
building and road repair Is that It us
necessary to pay the expenses Of hold
ing so many courts that break down."
Although the York county fruit crop
is not a full one this year by any means
wnat there Is Of 1t appears to be up to
standard in size and quality. Mr.. T.
A. Brown, Of the Santiago section,
brought to The Enquirer office yester-
day a peach Of the Snead variety,
weighing nine ounces.
There is some opposition to the
public cotton weigher system on the
ground that oftentimes the weigher is
so busy during the full cotton season
that the farmer who brings his cotton
in early in the morning may have to
wait all day in order to get 1t weighed.
1t has been suggested that the objec-
ton might be eliminated by the main
tenenance of two platforms under the
supervision Of the same weigher.
