"While would not create the i'm
preston that it is epidemic by any
means, there is no question Of the fact
that there, are a good many cases OF
diphtheria in this section of the county
lust now" said a well known physician
the other day. Il know of cases In
Yorkville and vicinity and I understand
that there are one or more cases al
Sharon and at Hickory Grove. How
ever there is nothing alarming about
it."
They Want Coach.
Manly young chap who is interested
in the Yorkville hool football team, a
berth on which lie hopes to land for
himself, walked in the other morning
with a, troubled ar.
"You, see," said he, 1--WE football
fellows are in trouble and we want your
help. We believe that our school could
have as good a football team as ROCK
Hill. Chester, Fort Mill or any Of these
other towns. BY that mean we have
the men. We have 'em big enough to
get eleven fellows who would average
a weight Of 100 pounds.
"But we've got no coach and coach
to football team is just as necessary
as is q teacher to Greek class, and
according to my way of looking at 1t,
the coach and the football team is
worth as much to growing, husky, red
blooded young fellows as the Greek.
1--WE were just wondering If our
parents or the school trustees or who
ever is supposed to do it in employ
ing another teacher or two for our
school would be careful and look
around and try to get one who knows
a lot about football and can coach.
"Say something in The Enquirer
about it, won't you?"
The cura Market.
york is the only county in the state
supporting two curb markets or 'coun-
try stores" said Miss Margaret Fewell,
York county woman's home demonstra-
ton agent last Saturday in talking
about tho market in Yorkville. Il am
delighted with the interest being
shown in the markets by both the
ladies' Of the town and country al
though must say that the market in
Yorkville is going better at the present
time than that in Rock Hill. You can
see for yourself the quantity and va
riety Of vegetables and ether produce
that have been brought here today.
Early this morning we had quantity
of eggs-pecks of them; but they went
readily. They were sold ct 81 1-2 cents
q dozen, a price under the price in the
stores. We could have gotten more
for them but we calculate that it is
worth something for a customer to
come to market and carry his or her
own purchases home" From men and
women of the surrounding country who
had brought vegetables and other pro-
duce to the curb market Saturday, it
was learned that the supply of vegeta-
bles is becoming limited and after
another Saturday or two the amount
of vegetables offered for sale at the
market will not be nearly so large be-
cause it will not be available. &.
Those Dreadful Rats.
This story was told Views and Inter-
views the other day for true story:
A young boy of Yorkville recently
entered one Of the South Carolina
colleges.
In letter to his mother day or
two later, describing the college, among
other things he said: I'm all there arc
about seventy-five rats here"
And the fond mother in telling a
neighbor about her college boy and the
letter received from him remarked:
MY, goodness, why they would allow
sevcnty-five rats in that college is
more than 1 am able to understand
Why the idea of allowing such con-
dition when little poison or cat or
two would exterminate them quickly
Farmers Suffer From Hail.
How many farmers of Western York
suffered hal! damage to cotton and
corn Of so per cent. or more in the
destructive storm of August 81" in
quired one of Charles r, Caldwell OF
Yorkville the other day.
Mr.. Caldwell who owns, and operates
a farm in the Sutton's Spring section
which was hit by the hail, replied:
while of course the figures l an
giving you are only an estimate,
should say that at least sixty farmers
white and colored, suffered 30 per cent
damage or more and the crops of most
of those sixty were a total loss"
Babe Has Babe.
Every small boy and grown boy too
who loves baseball and that include:
most of them knows of Babe Ruth, the
famous home run hitter of the New
York Yankees" remarked a Gorkvill'
baseball bug this morning. Here's ;
story about the Babe and his bab!
daughter I believe would be of inter
est to them if you care to use it"
