is no telling how the people of York
county might vote.
There is no question of the value of
bur clover in bringing up poor lands,
and no farmer in this section can make
a mistake by seeding his poor lands to
bur clover
The state of political fhteresr
throughout the county seems to recall
the story of q certain man of years ago
who introduced himself to a Rock Hill
citizen with MY name is -. i
am a candidate for -" The Rock
Hill mans reply was, You are well
come to it, sir. don't want it,"
AS usual the county campaign meet
ing at Rock Hill last Saturday was.
but slimly attended, the candidates
outnumbering the audience. The Rock
Hill people seldom pay much attention
to county campaign meetings. The
Blue Buckle mill however was worth
while.
The itinerary Of the state campaign
last week included a rest from regular
appointments and most of the candl-
work, wherever they thought they
could do the most good for themselves.
Spartanburg, Greenville and Anderson
were commonly chosen as the most
promising hunting ground.
In view of all that is positively
known about the dangers of flies and
mosquitoes, it is a reflection on our
energy and intelligence if not on
civilization that we should allow them
to multiply around us. Perhaps flies
and mosquitoes cannot be completely
eXterminated but they can be very
much reduced in number and in power
for harm.
Rural York county is not what it
was thirty years ago. Many of the
handsome, we'll kept homes of the old
days show signs of neglect and aban-
donment that are pitiable. True pros
perity of this country depends upon
the prosperity of the farmers and there
is need for something to be done to ar
rest the agricultural decadence now so
evident.
Rev. Baxter F. Mctendon, Cyclone
Mack" commenced n series of meet
ings at Lincolnton last Sunday after
noon, with an attendance Of 1000 pco-
pie at the opening service The big
crowd was made up principally of
people of Lincolnton and the surround
ing country, but it was augmented by
hundred of visitors from all over
North and South Carolin,.
Cleveland county, N. c., has done
good work in improving the gap" in |
Kings Mountain over which the Kings |
Mountain road passes; but The York
vile Enquirer is Of opinion that the
Cleveland authorities should try it
again. The road is still too steep for a
Ford on high gear, and where Ford
cannot make it on high gear, neither
truck nor team can carry a worth
while load. The incline at the gap
could be reduced by several degrees
without hurting anything, and really it
ought to be done. But still we do not
want to be understood as criticising
The Cleveland folks. They have done
good work as it is.
