newly worked roads also.
There are those who insist that the
boil weevil damage is always material
ly lessened following severe winter.
The time was when the grade cross
ing was the reasonable and logical
thing; but that time is no more. The
grade crossing should be abolished.
People may as well take notice that
so long as cotton continues to advance
they are not going to hear much more
CT falling prices.
While il is obvious that If the rains
Of this week had come earlier, they
would have been much more beneficial
to the crops, still they have done quite
g. lot of good
The weather bureau las night issued
warning of storm that is developing
in the Caribbean sea; but not unable
to say where it would strike the coast
Of the United States.
A state wide convention Of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Association
Is being held in Columbia today. A
number of representatives have gone
down from York county.
Rains of the past few days, although
somewhat late to be Of the greatest
benefit following the exceptionally dry
stimulating effect on crops neverthe-
less.
There is not a county in the state
that is capable of making better fair
exhibits than York county. 1t is main
ly because York county Is the best
county in the state. And then what Is
no less to the point, York county has
a larger percentage of people who hav-
ing the exhibits, also have the enter
prise to take them to the fair.
The sudden death of Ira b. Dunlap,
of Rock Hill, last night was indeed
shock to the many friends and ac-
auaintances of that most excellent
gentleman. Socially Mr.. Dunlap was
pleasant, agreeable and worth while
and as a business man he was noted
for his broad. intelligent and liberal
attitude toward Sall that was highest,
best and most wholesome development
Of the people, and along these lines he
was a most valuable factor. He stood
high in banking circles and had the
confidence, respect and appreciation OF
his patrons TO a remarkable degree. He
was an all round good citizen, whose
taking away leaves void that will
not be easily filled.
Wet or dry, one extreme makes the
freshly worked road as difficult for the
automobile as the other. There has
been quite a lot OF work on dinerent
York county roads since the last heavy
rain and in places the roads can hard
ly be Travelled by automobiles. There
is a quarter Of mile on the ROCK
Hill -Yorkville road, just without the
corporate limits Of Yorkville, that pre-
sents as much resistance to touring
car almost as half the balance of the
trip between the two towns. There are
a few hundl ed yards on the Chester
road that are almost as difficult and
there are some hard places on the
Yorkville- Gastonia road just south OF
the Castor line. With a good drag
ging shortly after the next general
rain, however, all these places will be
in pretty good condition for the fall
and winter travel.
Certain parties at Lockhart are NOV
ing to have Bullock's Creek postoffice
discontinued and run the rural route
that now goes out from Bullock's Creek
from Lockhart instead. The idea' as
The Yorkville Enquirer sees 1t, Is
neither reasonable nor practicable AL
the present time Bullock's Creek post
office is served from Sharon, the mail
getting to Bullock's Creek at about IL
o'clock in the morning and being dis
tributed throughout the surrounding
country Dy TuIdl SaiiiSi WV
in an automobile and does his work
expeditiously. The mail facilities OF
Sharon are much better than those OF
Lockhart, and If the present Buuocks
Creek route were served from Lockhart
instead of Bullock's Creek, they would
get their mail from "a to 4S hours later
than now This would be especially
true of the mail in which these people
are most interested-that from Sharon,
Hickory Grove, Yorkville, etc. 1t Is a
fact that the Bullock's Creek township
people do at Sharon most Of such bus
mess as they are unable to do at Bull
locks Creek, and have very little busl-
ness with Lockhart, except sometimes
to sell q little cotton. Generally Sha-
ron is q much better cotton market
than Lockhart. The proposed doing
away with Bullock's Creek postofhce
and supplying the rural route from
Lockhart might be of some personal sat
isfaction to a few Lockhart people; but
it would be a great inconvenience 10
the Bullock's Creek people. So far as
The Yolkvile Enquirer is concerned. 1t
does not believe that the proposed
change will be made-not so long as
..al. ~
