issuing a call for a taxpayers conven-
tion to be held at the county seat now
that it is only short time until the
general assembly meets. l reckon we
will have a taxpayers convention in
January and that there will be lot Of
talk and hot air and nothing done to

human nature funny?"
Confederate Veteran.
"Well we have obtained a site from
the city for the new Confederate
monument" said a prominent U. d. C..
of Rock Hill, the other day. THE
handsome Confederate monument sfor
Rock Hill will very likely be located-in
the vicinity Of Oakland Avenue. The
monument is now complete and Is
ready to be erected in Rock Hill. 1t Is
a handsome memorial to the men Of
the Confederacy. The Daughters Of
the Confederacy have not quite suffi-
cient funds pay for it; but have no
doubt that they will be able to raise
the necessary funds without much
trouble"
McConnellsville School.
'Yes 1 guess we will build our new
school building at Accommodating dur
ing the next year." said Mr.. J. Frank
Ashe of McConnellsville, who was
talking about the school the other
evening. "Our bonds for the new
school building were sold some time
ago, you remember; but the trouble Is
we were not able to get the site we
wanted until recently and we have
been wanting better school building
than we could build with the money
available am not a member of the
board of trustees but naturally ] am
interested in the school and ! rather
think that the new building will be
started early in the new year"
Proud of Erskine's Record.
"Dody" Philips of Chester, king Of
South Carolina collegiate football
players and eligible to a place on any
old All, Southern Collegiate football
team, was visitor In Yorkvillo FRI
day night and Saturday. Phillips is
well known in this section, having
played baseball in Yorkville and Glove:
the past summer. Talking footbGu
Friday evening he said: Il am mighty
proud Of the showing that Erskine, the
college tha: l attend, made during the
past football season. Despite the fact
that we have an enrolment this year
OF only ninety eight boys at Erskine
and therefore not great deal of foot
ball material to pick from we crossed
the cual line of every college field on
which we played during the season,
record that few college teams in this
state can boast 1t has certainly been
a great year for football at Erskine."
The Case Of Perry
What was the motive of that fellow
Jesse E. Perry Of Columbia, in holding
I'D that party Of Yorkville people on
the Rock Hill road Thursday night"
There has been much discussion of the
case since publication of the story IN
The Yorkville Enquirer about it last
Friday. Had Perry deliberately started
out as a highwayman or rather as
fake speed cop with view to touching
motorists over the country for a small
fine for alleged speeding? Or had he
become ObsesSed with the idea that
since he had taken Il correspondence
course as q detective he had a right to
hold people up and warn them not TO
drive fast on the public highway?
Nobody knows just what TO think
not even the officers. i. r.. Odom, the
Young fellow who was with Perry, but
who had nothing to do with the hold
m of the Yorkville car doesn't know
what to think about Perry. Il didn't
have nothing to do with it and l am
not in it," he said with a grin the other
day.
