Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-10-31

Some time ago The Enquirer stated
that the public road out of Chester
up toward Lowryville. was the wost
anywhere in this section. This road
is still the worst, E,@S.
The Chester people are looking dor-
ward to the opening of the greatest
of Chester County, Fairs next Tues
day, November 4. There will be a
large number Of entries from Chester
and surroundings and there are to be
some free public exhibitions that will
be of interest to all visitors. Special
arrangements . have been made to
take care Of the crowds.
Note the list of clubmakers pub
lished today. It. is quite a long list
in which every section Of the county
is represented. Present subscribers
Ywho desire to will find any Of these
clubmakers glad to send in their sub
scriptions. Intending new subscribers
are advised here again as elsewhere
that by paying one of these club
makers 1926 now they may have The
Enquirer until January /, 1921, IA
months for the price of years sub
scription. OF course 1t is understood,
that this offer of extra time holds
good only until fsSanuary' I, 1920.
That was quite an interesting fight
that the Rock Hill folks have been
having on the pond question; but it
has been worth while to everybody,
even though some Of the folks did get
little huffy over it. While The En-
quirer may beemlstaken. somehow or
other 1t does not believe that any
body much in Rock Hill was really
opposed to the bond isstie. 1t would
not have been like Rock Hill to turn
down "a, ,prop9sition, like that or
course,t there We're two sides ITO the
question. 1t was right to consider the
city's present debt it was right to
consider whether the bonds could be
sold and 1t was right to consider
whether the city could get value re-
ceived for the money it would
have to spend.t 1T was right also to
have enough agitation to make the
people think. There is a lot Of per-
plexity in all these times, especially
in these incomprehensibie times. The
details of the situation are very well
calculated to confuse and befog
almost anybody. We have not
doubt that the brightest and ablest
leaders on both sides are more or less
befogged in the details. Anything
else would be more than remarkable.
But on the proposition that the city is
In sore need of all the contemplated
Improvements there can be no differ
ence of opinion. So far as we have
kept up with the controversy nobody
has undertaken to suggest such diff
ference. The thing has been decided
without regard to the confusing de-
tails, and on the general proposition
that the city needs all the things it Is.
working for and simply must get
them. OF course there is plunge in
the dark, but we cannot see that the
situation is much darker without the
plunge than with it. We think that
it was best to take the plunge. So
far as all that rowing was concerned,
it really amounts to very little. There
were good fellows on both sides and
they are as good fellows now as they
were before. Both sides will now get
together, pull together, come out on
top together, and if need be go down
together. But we don't think there Is
going to be any going down together.
The only thing that can prevent Rock
Hill from winning will be a general
CO taclysm that will sink the whole
business.
