81 was talking to leading expert or
the subject the other day and he made
the remark that the boil weevil would
surely be in York county in force by
next August" said Col. C. L. Cobb
we'll known banker of Rock Hill, who
was in Yorkville for a short while
Tuesday afternoon. Now that the
weevil has been discovered in both
Chester and Lancaster counties would
not be at all surprised but what the
view is a correct one," Col Cobb re-
marked.
A Hog to a Family.
"You can say If you want to that
every Glover family is going to have
a hog to kill this fall and winter, that
is they will average one to family
said Mr.. ]. ]. Wilson, venerable citizen
Of Clover in conversation with Views
and Interviews last Wednesday. Mr..
Wilson said it looked to him as though
Glover people would have just about
as srnuch hog meat this year as usual"
Mayor Makes LI9ht.
"While the town of Sharon-that is
the municipality, may not be able to
have it's own water and light plant;
w. H. Hayes, enterprising mayor OF
that fine little town is making ar
rangements to bring the conveniences
there on his own account" said we'll
known Yorkville man who was a re-
cent visitor in Sharon. Major Hayes
has recently purchased Pelco light
ing plant from Frank Riddle" the
gentlemen went on to say, "and by
means Of the Delco the mayor is MAX
ing lights not only for his own place
of business and residence but for
several other business houses as
we'll. The plant affords about twenty
six lights and is decided improve
ment, and indicates that Sharon wants
electric lights and is going to have
them just the same as Fort Mill and
Rock Hill and other towns"
Thought it Could be Settled.
THE man Roof Anderson arrested
Monday afternoon on the charge of be-
ing an escaped convict evidently mad
firm idea that he could be relieved Of
the charge without much adoo," said
Sheriff Quinn in talking of the happen
ing. After we had arrested him he
told us that he would be glad to pay
the reward that was offered for his
capture and any other expenses that
might be connected Herewith and if
we didn't mind why dc would just pay
us and then go about his business.
But of course we wouldn't agree to
anything like that"
.'." Freezing Weather.
Here is a squib for your humorous
department" said a friendly wag down
town the other day. Much obliged"
was the newspaper mans reply; but
you see we are really not keen for
contributions to the humorous depart
ment and besides the squib that you
offer would hardly be appropriate"
Here it is:

At least so I've been told.

Will Sell Easily This Year.
mo l am not carrying a line of toys,
glassware and Christmas articles this
year along such extensive lines as
usual" said a Yorkville merchant yes
terday in reply to query. i cut
them out because in former years
have lost money on that kind of thing.
And now l am sorry that didn't put

money as there is in the country, be-
lieve there is going to be big business
in that line this Yuletide season. One
buys that kind of thing for Christmas

isn't Just as we'll after all"
No Improvement in Service.
There is no apparent Improvement
in congested freight traffic which has
been causing such Inconvenience to
business people generally" said MI
Hugh Parrot of the Peoples Furniture
Company yesterday. For instance we
have a car load of furniture some
where between High Point, y. c.. and
here. 1t was put in the car at High
Point on the 2Oth of last month, and
nobody appears to be able to give any
good reason why it should not have
reached here long before now. A week
or two ago we received car Of furni-
ture that had been shipped from High
Point last September. 1t went all the
way to Camden before it came here
despite the fact that it was billed cor
rectly. Nobody knew why"
