Associate Reformed church last Sun
day morning, Elder w. d. Grist, repre-
sentative of the congregation at Ca

]. f. McElwee and Dr. w. NJ. Kennedy
from the board of deacons, and J. II. b.
Jenkins from the congregation, which
committee after due investigation and
deliberation will recommend Dr..
Oates's successor TO the congregation.
On motion the delegate 10 presbytery
was instructed to request that tull au-
thority for securing supplies be vested
in the committee independently of the
prcsbyterial committee on supplies.
Catawba presbytery meets in Chester
next Friday.
THAT the West road should come
into Yorkville by way of West Liberty
street everybody is agreed. The ab-
surdity of having TO start north TO go
west is as apparent as is the absurdlty
of making travellers between Yorkville

two miles out of their way going and
coming, when it is so easily practicable
to eliminate those two extra miles. The
county cannot stand for such an abb
surdity any more than the town. 1t IS
a fact that as the matter stands and
as il will continue to stand, travel be-
tween the. northern and western sec
tions of the county, having no business
i'm Yorkville,J can save two miles OF
distance by passing to the north ana
west of Yorkville, but it is also TACT
that this travel is not as much as the
travel between. YorkYille and the west
ern part of the county by at least W
per cent. Furthermore 1t is not likely
that the proportion will ever be re-
duced very considerably. Therefore
the pressing necessity of making west
Liberty street a part OF the West ROAD
is too clear TO admit of dispute. But
locally there looms up another ques-
ton. which although having no bear
ing on the West road question from the
standpoint of public convenience has
considerable standing from the stand
point of equity. That part of west
Liberty street between the Jail and the
corporate limits Of the town is now
practically undeveloped.S That is
largely because of the steep hills and
deep depressions following the tepo-
.graphy of this section OF the town.

ing ION the roads out this way, nave
but small value for other than agri-.
cultural purposes. Nobody wants to
snena money out that way for building
purposes, with such poor highway
communication into the town. This
situation will be improved by the COM
ing in of the West road,h and the
owners of the property i'll this section
will be benefited whether they want
to sell that property or not. So far as
The Yorkville Enquirer has. informa-
ton there has been no indication OF
picayunishness on the part of the
owners of this property and there
seems to be no reason TO expect such
an attitude. Why, therefore, under all
the circumstances, the city council
should have any considerable dtfhcuity
in complying with the very proper
conditions that have been laid down by
the county board of commissioners
does not seem to loom up very strong
ly. AS we see IT, it is nothing but
right that the city should take care or
the water mains and shoulder all the
expense that be occasioned on account
of them, and of course the land owners
on either side of the road will be
reasonable as to rights OF way, dirt Tor
filisI and topsoil. } h.t

minstrel show extraordinary, the cast
composed of people of Glover under
the direction of Fred Rudisill, played
to a three quarter house in the city
hall auditorium here last evening un-
der the auspices Of the American Le-
gion baseball -teaNn. Consensus of
opinion of the large audience was that
, it was one of the best amateur theatri-
cal performances seen here in years
and an exhibition that would have done
credit to many professional troupes
who have been seen here on various
occasions. Each and every performer
gave evidence of not only thorough
coaching and training but much natur-
al aptitude. The repertoire consisted
of songs and character skits, witty
remarks and repartee and dancing and
every number on the bill drew hearty
Cncores from the audience most OF
whom were acquainted with the vari
Gus chaSacters. The big feature of the
show was the work of Bill Rudisill,
athlete, hunter, business man and
gentleman most versatile. Bill Rudi-
sill was half the show. The other
half of the credit is 90 be divided
among the other performers. One of
the most attractive numbers of the
programme was the whistling act of
Master Edward Smith, son of Mr..
NJ. l.. Smith of Glover. Dressed as
