Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1921-11-04

If you have not done anything about
sowing some grain why have you not
done so?
The cotton has been pretty well
picked out between Yorkville and
Rock Hill and there is very little
more to open.
Arnistice day is just one week off
next Friday, and If there is not gen.
eral suspension of business there
ought to be.
There is lots of baled cotton lying
about on the ground over the county.
It should be under shelter. 1t is cost
ing more by way of deterioration than
shelter would cost.
There should be a good hard-sur-
face road betweenl Yorkville and Rock
Hill. Such a road is needed there
more than anywhere else in, the coun-
ty, and the whole county is interested
in the building Of such n road.
Up to date, since the opening Of the
club offers two weeks ago, more than
$50 new names have been added to
The Yorkville Enquirer's mailing list,
and speaking off hand without going
back to look up the actual figures we
will say that this Is q record.
Parts of the Yorkville- Rock Hill
road were put in real bad condition
by the rains of Sunday and Monday,
especially between Newport and Tir-
zah; but the road men were after 1t
with their plows and scraps and were
calculating on getting it in fine shape
for the winter provided the weather
was suitable. ~
There are lots. Of people who can be
induced to subscribe for The Yorkville
Enquirer if clubmakers will only ap-
proach them and tell them what kind
of paper The Yorkville Enquirer is
and offer to forward their subscription
for the club price of $2.25 until Janu-
ary 1, 1923. The way to get a good
club is to go after it, and clubmakers
who will do this will find that they
will make good wages for all the time
and effort they put forth.
c. E. Spencer, Esq, who passed
away in Columbia Wednesday evening,
following stroke Of appoplexy, has
long been recognized as one Of the
most highly esteemed citizens Of this
section. He came to Yorkville in 1870
as a member Of the faculty of the old
Kings Mountain military school, under
Col. Asbury Coward, shortly after his
graduation from the South Carolina col
lege. He served in that capacity about
six years, giving 4 part of his time to
the practice of law. Later he entered
upon a law partnership with the late
I. u. Witherspoon under the firm name
o. Witherspoon and Spencer, and
from thence onward gave his entire
time to his profession, in which he at
tanned a high degree of eminence. All
Of his life he has been n very busy
man; but nevertheless he has been
very much interested in public affairs,
to the advancement Of which he has
ever been willing to devote both time
and money. He was a trustee Of the
South Carolina University over per-
iod of twenty years, and has long been
a deacon in the Presbyterian church of
Yorkville. In his office, where he was
all business with everybody, he was a
hard and steady worker but socially
he was full of life and fun, and was
generally esteemed as most excellent
company. Another thing about him,
exemplified through years Of practice,
was his sincere practical sympathy
with distress Of whatever nature. He
gave literally to every worthy cause
presented to him by those in whom he
had confidence, and he hunted up
worthy objects of assistance on his
own account, and where possible re-
ma med unknown to the beneficiaries
Of his gratuities. No doubt Mr.. Spen-
Ger made mistakes as all of us do; but
not as many rs most OF us.
Among those who knew him, and that
included thousands, the common ver-
dict is that his life was worth while.
