TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Between todays issue Of The York
vile ITnulIircr and tho next Issue, there
is to be an extensive revision OF. the
mailing list, and in connection with TINS
revision there may DE some confusion.
As is understood. or should be under
stood by allesubscribcrs who have tax
on the trouble TO inform themselves
concerning the method OF the PUBLISH
crs i'm handling the matter suhScrlp-
! tiuns returned unpaid are marked Oh
the label with Il star tH) and as soon
as possible after the subscription price
is paid that star is removed from the
label.
The date. by which all subscriptions
must bc paid expires tomorrow even
ing at o'clock, and as soon us poSSi-
bic after that time, I'LL unpaid subscrlp-
tipuS will br taken out of the list.
because of the natural tendency of
peoplc To Wnit until the last moment
before attending to matters ut lnlS
kind there has hccn Il heavy rush ol
,raymcnts during the past two weeks,
and there still remain many names TO
be paid for today and tomorrow. fald
names have been credited up To date us
fri. as practicable: but in the llEht ul
past experience and in the nature OF
the case il is reasonably certain that
some uf tho stars that should havrDccn
cut out have been overlooked.
The main object of this motto" is to
ask the indulgence of subscribers in
whose cases mistakes may be magic. II
happens sometimes that there Is Il iall

it's dictur will be in favor Of at least
a part o what is known as the
"Howclls Ferry" route.
This is the private unofficial opinion
of Engineer r. T. Lenoir, who has had
charge Of the work, and who has not
hesitated to answer all questions that
/ the representative of The Yorkville En-
quirer saw proper to ask him. He
wanted it understood, however, that he
was not speaking with authority, for
he has no authority with which to
kspeak, and that the final location of
Itthe route is altogether matter for the
State Highway Commission and the
/ York County Board OF Commissioners.
|, 1--WE have made two trial surveys
Efrom Smyrna to Hickory Grove, two
ktrial surveys from Sharon to Y YorkVflle,
Esand one trial survey from the .Howelrs
tFerry road at the Hartness place to
liSharon," said Mr.. Lenoir, and so far as
1.-THE results of these surveys go, would
i,say that by far. the best route from
l,Yorkville to Sharon is what is called
Ethe Howelrs Ferry route. The Sutton 8
ISSpring route would be too expensive
Land also it is far behind the other route

Fling. - .,,,'. -; ~.

Yorkville by way Of the Kings Noun
tain road, and an eighth Of mile north
of the corporate limits Of the town,
makes a practically straight shot west

Ebetwecn the mill and the dam, follows
the present road beG by Blacks house,
| passes about 200 yards further from
Elmer Stevenson's than does the pres
ent road, runs further from John L.
Feemster's, and little closer to the
Hartness place, from whence 1t bends
south to Sharon, following closely the
| location Of the present road between
/ Sharon and. the Hartness place. From
Sharon the survey follows the railroad
to Hickory Grove and enters that town
on The southern side of the railroad IN
stead Of on the northern side as does
! the present road. The survey also
sticks close to the railroad from Hick-
ory Grove to Smyrna.
Along the whole route, says Mr.. Lc-
noir, there is not a grade sleeper than
| five per cent and not a curve with ia :
| dius under 300 feet. There is an abund-
ance of good sutfacing material to be
had without much expense, and alto
gcthcr it is very satisfactory pros
| pect.
The proposed road is 34rfeet wide
from ditch to ditch, and Of this twen-
| ty-four feet is to be surfaced.

"a series of experiments by the de
