"Partridges come pretty high like
everything else this year whether you
kill them yourself or let somebody else
do It," observed Rock Hill man yes
terday. II like to eat partridges but
can't kill them although l know negro
who can. l gave him box Of shells
some time ago and told him to get
me a mess Of birds. The shells cost
me SLIPS. In a few days he brought
me eight birds which 1 estimated cost
me little more than fifteen cents each
to say nothing of the cost Of cooking,
etc., which would bring the price
away up. But then partridges to eat
are worth to me whatever they might
cost any day."

T. G. Riley of Greenville, salesman
for Luzianne coffee, full blooded Irish
and one of the best known travelling
men on the road in South Carolina
was in Yorkville and York county this
week making his regular rounds,
"Luzianne is just as popular If not
more so than ever" said Mr.. Riley,
"and I am getting along just as well
as / ever did. despite the fact that l
am getting older every day like every
body else. Luzianne is going unus-
ually good i'm York county and do you
know 1 believe the Yorkville Enquirer
has got a lot to do with it."
Profits in Real Estate.
about ten years ago / built resi-
dence in a York county town." said a
man yesterday. THE lot and the
house complete cost me s1,4OO. About
three years later 1 sold it for $3,50O.
The other day had occasion to make
inquiries about a home and made a
break at buying my old place back.
The man to whom l sold it said he
would take $500. I offered him $4,000
and told him the day would come when
he would be glad to take that sum-
He laughed. l made a profit Of s2,1O0
on 1t and he wants a profit of $4,000
When / made my profit $2,10O was
so, 100 and$3,0oo now isn't $4,000. What
would like to know is-who is the
proflteer?"
Getting the News.
"You are on to your job all right
without any assistance from me-" said
the fieshy stenographer in "a York
county mans office the other day 'and
1 know it wouldn't do to print pure
gossip in The Enquirer: but if you
want to get all that is going and then
some, cultivate a clerk or two in
IS. They have meeting Of the
gossiping geese when they arrive at
the store the first thing in the MORN
ing after primping their hair and
powdering their faces and they tell
things that are so and things that are
not so and things that they would like
to have be just So" And the Inter-
viewer thanked the fieshy one politely
and went off wondering il the other
clerks could be any more gossipy than
she was.
Trouble in the Family.
Speaking Of domestic troubles" said
a local man, 81 don't have them al
though you might think l am a liar
when l tell you. One Of my neighbors
walked out Of his house and into me
the other day with his face looking
like the storm after the lull and he
said, said he: We'll, darned if l haven't
stood ii as long as / can. | can get
more out of life working for 81 day
and by myself than l can living with
that woman. Why you know, she takes
all make and all she makes and she
won't give me nothing-no nothing.
Look at these clothes-why / haven't

l am about ready to believe there amt
any more hell after this. OF course she
has the property. or most of it; but

g.. ..-s Never Again.
He is long and tall and lean and
lanky. He farms in York county. He is
a prominent citizen in his community
and justly so. He pays his debts and
goes to church and doesn't speak i'll of
his neighbor unnecessarily. He was
in Sharon the other day and he was
talking about the blessedness of mar
ried life despite the fact that he is
under thirty. "My wife and | don't
love each other" he said. I'VE never
did. We admire and respect each other
and there has never been a cross word
during our married life. l come home
