one wants to take it for. The egg was
in a lot that Mr.. Laney purchased from
Mr.. Hilton, who also lives on the Can
non mill property. The most striking
popularity about the E or is the ar
tistic exactness of its appearance.
But after all is said that can be said
about that West road, travel over it be-
tween Gastonia and Clover to the
North and Sharon and Hickory Grove
to the west is going to cut straight
across from the Rutherford to the
Kings Mountain road without passing
through Yorkville unless it wants to.
That the West Liberty street should be
worked up by the jail out the Ruther-
ford road to point where the west
road intersects there is no question. 1t
would be of great advantage in short
ening the distance between the west
ern part of the county and Yorkville
by at least two miles; but whether
this road is put into proper shape or
not will not affect the through travel
between the northern and western
parts Of the county.
There is no other legume known to
the farmers of this section that equals
bur clover as a soil builder. A splen-
did object lesson is to be seen on the
farm. Of Mr.. Sandifer at Delphos. On
what was a very poor piece OF gray
land three years ago he has an oat crop
that looks as if it might have had
thousand pounds of high grade fertil-
izer, including 200 pounds of nitrate of
soda to the acre. There has been no
fertilizer on it at all. 1t is
what it is now solely because of three
crops of bur clover, which
have built the land to high state OF
productiveness. And by the way, for
the benefit of those who do not know,
The Yorkville Enquirer takes pleasure
in stating that in it's opinion the best
York county authority. on bur clover is
Mr.. Faris, of the Garrison-Faris Seed
company at Rock Hill. Mr.. Faris sue
cessfully experimental with bur clover
during a number Of years while he was
farming in the Gold Hill section OF
Fort Mill township, and he learned all
about it-how and when to seed 1t,
what it would do and what it is good
for.
We are speaking for those who are
unable to speak for themselves when
we put in word in behalf Of the pub
lie officials who are so regularly and
beset for subscriptions for
all kinds of purposes--puPposes IN
which they are interestedo and pur-
poses in which they are not interested.
The public official is easy. Almost
anybody can bleed him, and almost ev-
erybody who iS out on a bleeding eX-
petition does it. Most Of the profess
sional beggars hit the public officials,
and all the amateur beggars hit them
People of intelligence and considera-
ton, however, should reflect on the
matter Very few of the public officials
get any more pay than they are enti-
tied to. All of them have families to
support. All of them are naturally
generous. If among the many beggars
and solicitors some of them would give
the county officials the go-by occa-
sionally, as they do other people, it
would not be so bad; but everybody
seems to understand what an easy
mark a county official is, and the coun-
~ official falls victim TO all of them.
It looks like this matter is deserving
of more consideration on the part Of
the public.
The political developments of the
past few weeks in Yorkvillc teach a
lesson the significance of which should
not be difficult of Interpretation. We
refer especially TO the sudden rush of
citizens for state registration
certificates. As to the why and where
fore of this rush it is not necessary to
90 into details; but it may be taken for
granted that some of the people are
very deeply stirred, else there would
have been no such manifestation.
Among the newly qualified voters are
who were generally considered
so avcrse to anything of this kind that
wen their most intimate friends could
hardly have conceived of contingcn-
" under which they could have been
induced To vote. But notice the Stam-
Dcdc into Il registration about twice as
great as the town has ever known be-
fore, all within few weeks. And the
is that if the books were
open for Il week or ten days longer,
some two hundred more would be add
ID to the list. What has happened in
ICrkvillc is liable To happen anywhere
n the county at any time-the devel- |
)pmcnt Of some real or imaginary cri-
sis that will make it look like the pos
session of Il registration certificate is
