Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-04-04

Garry, but Mr.. Elder, when q, asked
about the matter, said he had moi
carried the brands in question. Still
the negro held to his plea of mo-
guilty.
But as the officers were taking tht
negro back to Jail he gave it up anc
made clean breast Of everything. He
admitted that he had stolen the goods
I'VE had nothing but circumstantia
evidence" said Chief Steele; "but we
felt reasonably certain that we had the
right negro. However, his confession
makes things easier. l am pretty SURE
now that we will get him."
Echo of Dollar Day.
'It gives me pleasure to hand 1t tc
The Yorkville Enquirer as an advertis-
ing medium said Mr.. w. Mason Nc
Connell, of the Mcconnell Dry Goods
company, to Views and Interviews last
Friday evening.
1t was at the close Of the last Dollar
Day. The store looked like 1t had been
struck by the proverbial cyclone, and
Mr.. Mcconnell was busy arranging
things for the morrow's business, in
tet-rupted from time to. time by the
customers who were still dropping In
Views and Interviews had called in to
ask about the success of the day.
More than satisfed-delighted, In
fact" said Mr.. Mcconnell, except
have myself to blame for one thing
and that is my failure to get the nee
essary help to wait on the trade. had
figured that We would do very we'll II
we had as much business as our regu-
lar force could take care Of; but before
yesterday had passed away saw that ]
was mistaken. I could not help my
self, however. It was simply too late
to meet the situation. Numbers OF
people left the store to go elsewhere
simply because they saw that they
could not be waited on, and Of course
I did not like to disappoint them.
I'VE did all the business we had the
force to do, and Of course we have no
kick; but right here want to hand II
to The Yorkville Enquirer. 1t Is moth
ing but fair that should. We did not
advertise this anywhere except In The
Some people suggested that
we have some circulars printed, or use
some kind Of means to reach the class
es of people who might not take the
paper. But nothing OF that kind was
done. We depended upon the newspa-
per alone for our advertising and only
one issue at that. But nevertheless the
people came from the town and from
the country. They included people
who take The Yorkville Enquirer, and
they included people who. would say,
don't read any newspaper. They were
certainly here. l don't believe there Is
a newspaper in South Carolina that
could have given better, quicker or
more efficient service OF course,
have known this all along; but want
to hand it to you that If you have
something worth while for the people
to know, all you got to do is to tell
them about it through The Yorkville
Enquirer"
Dunnins Through the Mail. .
UNLESS you have had occasion to
look into it personally, you can have no
idea Of the extent to which the local
postoffice is used in the collection OF
local bills" said an experienced busi-
ness man to Views and Interviews, in
general conversation few days ago.
"This is a development of the pas,
dozen years or so. do not mean that
the custom Is no older than a dozen
years; but it has been within the last
dozen years or SO that it has become
so general as to be factor in the post
Office receipts.
Il can very we'll remember the time
when for one local man to have sent
another dun through the postoffice
would have been an insult. hTe man
receiving such a dun would have rea-
soned, What's the mater with him
anyway? He sees me every day, and
why couldn't he have asked me for 1t ?
Is ne afraid would cuss him or what
Surely this is an exclusive kind Of q
fellow who wants to write me a letter
through the postofflce right here in his
own town.
But it Is not that way now. While
the old plan of canvassing the town
with a bunch Of bills along about the
first of each month is as popular as II
has ever been, there are a number OF
business concerns which each month
send hundreds of bills through the
mails. l suppose I send out a couple
of hundred each month myself, and the
results are generally satisfactory.
"a certain per centage Of my GUS
toners pay promptly, returning a check
Immediately. Others wait until th'
18th Of the month and still others take
full thirty days. And then, Of course
there are others who don't pay at all
Worse than that they pay no attention
to you.
And these are people who are mos
irritating. At least I find them thai
