There will be no railroad strike on
October 81" declared James Cansler
of the South Carolina railroad COM
mission who was in Yorkville last Fri
day. 1.-The railroad brotherhoods
haven't got the nerve to pull strike
because they know good and well that
public sentiment is against them. You
will find that the strike will be settled
beforesthe day set for the walk-out.'
The battle-ground Property.
IF there has been any defacing OF
the monument at Kings Mountain
BATTLE-GROUND l was unable to detect
it during a visit of several hours to
the historic spot last Sunday" said
yesterday a Yorkville man who went
to the battle-ground Sunday with a
party of friends. Looked to me IKE
the premises were in pretty good
shape. Even the grand stand there
appeared to me TO be in pretty GOOD
condition all things considered. The
battle-ground appears TO need pretty
thorough cleaning up but if there is
any thing else wrong with it l wasn't
able TO tell"
When Small Game Was Numerous.
Noticed in The Yorkville Enquirer
Friday where a couple Of 'possums
were caught in town." said citizen OF
many years. residence yesterday. ]
guess those 'possums had been caught
by hunters and Gagged and then got
loose. However there was time when
one could go. a half mile in almost any
direction here and catch them. Forty
years ago remember shooting
partridges along Main street and there
are numerous garden spots just OF
Main street where l have killed them
on numerous occasions"
Work on the Road.
Talked 10 Mr. A. j. Parrot few
days ago about the progress OF road
work, and especially about the fine
work he Mas been doing on the Rock
Hill road between Yorkvi'le and Tir-
zah. He did not appear to be at all
satisfied.
I'VE have too much to Go and not
enough TO do it with" he Said. Those
old trucks with which we are trying
TO work were worn out before we got
them, and you can't keep them going
more than a few. days out OF each
month. We have to put in too much
time fixing the trucks. If we had some
good machines, we could do more work
and, better work in less time and at
less expense"
Safest Anaesthetic.
Stood by a day or two ago While DE-
w. G.. Ward, of the Fennell lntirmary
was performing some minor surgical
operations-or in other words remoV-
ing adenoids for a couple OF llttlc
children. Views and Interviews was
responsible for the children and OF
course there was no objection to his
presence.
And under the circumstances OF
course. DR.. Ward made no objection to
answering any and all questions. OF
which Views and Interviews asked
uuite a number. The doctor was not
anticipating any publicity, however
and if there is TO be any quarrel about
repeating some of the things he sala'
Views and Interviews will have to an
swer for that later.
This thing of removing adenolds'
he said, lis about as simp'e thing as
we take up the knife for. There is no
danger to 1t. and not great deal oi
main. The worst thing about it is the
fact that the seat of pain cannot be
reached by local anaesthetic and we
have TO render the patient unconscious
by the use of ether
We'll, doctor, how much danger 10
the patient is there in the use OF eth

I'VE don't consider that there is any

rious consequence from it. OF course
q person could be killed with 1t; but
can hardly conceive Of fatality under
circumstances where those who were
administering the anaestAetic had the
slightest knowledge of what they were
doing"
What about chloroform?"
That's different Chloroform is use
full in it's place. but we have to DC
more careful with it. There have beer
cases where patients have died d
cbloroform after getting on'y a fe"
whifs of it, and before getting undel
the Influence of it. Such cases are
rare; but they have occurred. We neVel
use chloroform where ether will do ant
cases where ether will not do are rare
The biggest thing in an operation
like the removal of adencids is gettinI
the patient under the anaCsthctic AIT
or that the balance Of the operation
only takes about a minute.
This conversation and more like l
was taking place while the patient
were being put under the influence o
