next Sunday morning.
| - Yorkville people seem to be getting
/ thoroughly aroused over the approach
/ ing municipal election. In some quar-
/ ters thepe is q tendency TO deplore all
this agitation. The truth OF the mat
ter is that nothing can happen to the
town more worth while than to make
the people think about its welfare.
The general municipal election is to be
held next Wednesday.
w L. Jamison, who opened n bak-
cry here some time ago, has sold the
bakery to r. d. DOrsett and w. j. Nc
Carter, who will operate it in fusure,
the new ownsrs having already taken
charge. Mr. Jamison, Swho was engag-
ed in the show business for n number
of years before coming here, expects to
go on the road soon with new show.
He will still retain proprietorship OF
the Hotel Shandon here.
The American Legion team Of
! Yorkville had the long end Of 6-3
score in a game with Fort Mill, when
the game was called in the fifth inning
here Thursday afternoon on account OF
rain. While the local soldiers appear
ed to have a shade the better Of the
Fort Mill lads when rain broke it up,
at the same time the boys from the
other side Of the Catawba had begun
to tighten up a bit and it is hard tell
ing what they would have done If the
contest had gone for nine full frames.
Batteries: American Legion-McMacK-
in and Mackorell; Fort Mill-Fergu-
son and Ferguson. Umpires Smith and
Maxwell.
AS was the case year ago there
wene only a few people in attendance
on American. Legion Memorial Day
exercises in the city hall auditorium
Tuesday morning. There were hardly
fifty in all including soldiers of the
World war and special chorus gotten
up by Miss Alice Hare. In beginning his
address Hon. j. s. Brice the principal
speaker of the occasion took occasion
to chide the people of the town and
community for their apparent lack of
| interest in American Legion Memorial
day. | am prompted to quote n verse
of Scripture which aptly fits this
case" said Mr.. Brice in opening his
address. Like Joseph of old, World
war veterans have right to say thou
| hast forgotten me. When the boys
were going to war all kinds of prom
ises were made them," said Mr.ABrice,
"and they were assured that they
would never be forgotten but now that
they have returned there is little in
terest in the memorial day which has
been set aside to honor their dead. l
hope to see the time when every man,
woman and child in this community
will attend memorial exercises for
soldiers of the World war" A look
OF disappointment because of the small
attendance was registered on the
faces of some of the World war vet
Grams preseE although there were
others who were not surprised and
who did not expect any large atten-
dance.
Walk up, ladies and gentlemen on
| Wednesday morning next ana vote Tor
the candidate of your choice for, the
esteemed honor of mayor OF the toWn
in which you live. There are two
| candidates for the office of mayor
| both of whom have 'long. been resi-
depts OF your fair little city and both
! OF whom are no doubt quite well
| knowns TO you. II you don't know Tor
whom you want to vote there are
| plenty of peanut politicians IN the
vicinity who will take great pleasure
in instIucting you concerning the best
| lIlan-ln .lIGlE. OpHllOll'
others more honest and sincere per-
haps who will tell you that the town
will not go to the bow-wows no mat
ter who is elected. Ladies who are
voting in the town election for the
| first time should find no emharrass-
ment. While it may be that the re-
spective managers of the voting pre-
cincts will not be able TO install look
ing glasses and powder puffs in the
voting booths this year in order that
you might fix your hair and powder
your noses; really you can worry
along somehow without these things
since it will only require few mo-
ments Of your. time to exercise your
right of suffrage and to assert your
self. While you are voting for mayor
don't forget to vote for some person
| for alderman. respective or the ward
in which you live. You must have
an alderman, YOU know. He is the
fellow you must tell it too whep you
Iemploy carpenter to fix leak IN
the back porch or when the overflow
of water might get into your front
yard. An important man is an al
derman and indeed some of the pea
nut politicians mentioned above have
been heard to say Of late that there
are some WnOSWOuIu Rather Dt an al
deiman of the town OF Yorkville than
be president of the United States or
something. 1t is really great honor.
More than 1000 years ago Mr.. j.
Caesar, a prominent political and mill
tary leader of his day took occasion
to rebuke one of his best buddies
when the aforesaid buddy undertook to
throw off on the alderman of little
burg who was present at the head of
his tOwnsmen to welcome j. Caesar
and company. Caesar on that Occas-
ion is reported to have told his buddy
that he would rather be the alderman
at the head of that little flock than
the second man in Rome which the
buddy evidently was, judging from the
remark of J. Caesar. SO ladies and
gentlemen, be sure and vote for an
alderman or councilman or warden or
assemblyman, whichever you want
to call them since it is all the same
thing. Then you are to vote for two
trustees of your school-not one
but two. In the meantime if YOU
would know little more about these
several candidates whose names are
in the political advertising columns
Of The Yorkvilc Enquirer, you should
keep your eyes open and your ears
to the ground between now and We'd
nesday. In our midst for. this town
election is a rather weird. mysterious
