Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1921-04-29

there is still more or less planting to be
done in all the different neghborhoods.
There is complaint too, that the heavy,
beating rail- Of st Friday has been
holding the sprouting cotton back. AS
the result there is Il feeling Of need
for more rain to soften this crust.
For the benefit Of automobilists and
others who are occasionally moved to
make Sutton spring the objective of
ride or drive, it is timely to state that
the spring has been neglected through
the winter and very few Of the people
Who go there care 10 risk drinking the
waters. In this connection, however, 1t
is also proper to state that the spring
is private property, and the owners are
under no obligation TO keep it in shape
for the gratuitous benefit Of the public.
On a basis Of the amount Of work it
Is doing The Iorkvile Enquirer ought
to have at least five thousand subscrlb-
ers. If The Yorkville Enquirer had fVe
thousand subscribers it could and
Would give three times the service 1t is
now giving. 1t would do this by adding
largely to both its editorial and me:
chanicnl staffs, and the Improvement
would become so great that it Would
be unmistakable. However, the pub
fishers would not have it understood
that they are in the least dissatisfied
with the support they are now receiV-
ing. In spite Of the fact, the main SUD-
scription taking season OF the year is
two months gone, new names are being
added in sufficient numbers to evi-
dence appreciation OF the work that is
being done.
Waiter E. Perkins, ESQ, down
East" Yankee from Maine, has been
spending the week in Rock Hill, visit
ing his daughter at Winthrop and MIR.
Sid Adams, whose guest he is. brought
him over to Yorkvillc Tuesday in order
that he might get an idea or our
court procedure, and obtain a still
more comprehensive idea of local con-
ditions generally. Besides taking his
guest to the courthouse to meet the
presiding judge and members OF the
bar, Mr.. Adams also brought him to
the office of The Yorkville Enquirer
and took him among the people gener-
ally. He was most favorably I'M
pressed with the people he met ana
with the things he saw and heard, and
he made good impression on all VINO
met him. Of course he is just the
same kind Of folks as our folks, and
most agreeable gentleman; but he was
frankly unable to conceal his surprise
at what was evidently to him some
what of revelation that the people
down this way are the same Kind oil
people as he has up his way and no
less entcrprisng, progressive or pros
porous. Hc was particularly astonish-
cd at the number of cotton mills ne
saw all around him, and the number
of people employed in manufactures
and really amazed at the circumstance
that our cotton mills dpre operated DE
our own people, and that the people
who onerate the mills are exactly the
same kind OF people who run the
banks, stores, farms and the ike.
Most of our skilled labor he sald
Consists of foreigners. many OF whom
are unable even to speak language.
They have but little in common WIN
other classes Of people" He remark
ed also that our court procedure was
remarkably similar to that H. Maine
both being based largely on common
law customs. 1t was quite pusS
day he spent in Yorkville, and nc tolu
Mr.. Adams that it was one or the
pleasantest days he has passed IN so
long that he was at a loss for another
dav TO compare it with.
