Yes we had quite a successful hunt
ing trip down on the Edisto river near
Osborn, S. c." said ]. Clyde Ford OF
Glover who returned from the hunt
Tuesday night. Included in the party
who went from Glover were about a
dozen we'll known sportsmen Of that
vicinity who usually make trip down
near Charleston each year in quest OF
deer and other game. I'VE got seven
deer this trip" Mr. Ford went on to
say, "and in addition to the deer var
ious members of the party killed other
game. We had q nice time of it in
deed"
The Red Cross Drive.
"Yes, the people of Yorkville re-
sponded quite readily to our requests
tnat they join the Red Cross during
the drive that ended November 30"
said Mrs. w R. Carroll one of the
canvassers for the town when asked
about the results obtained. ~ haven't
the figures at hand as to the number
of persons who joined and the amount
of money pledged for the support of
the local Red Cross work; but l know
that there were few persons who were
asked to join another year who de-
clined to do so. But the people Of this
town, you know have always been
prompt to respond to any call in the
name Of charity"
Interested in Georgia Negroes.
81 saw a statement in The Enquirer
recently to the effect that many ne
groes in the vicinity of Winder, Ca,
were in a bad way and almost without
clothing because of the failure Of their
crops this year." remarked Mrs. ]. NJ.
Brian of Yorkvlle the other day. ut
occurs to me that there are many men
and women throughout this much
more prosperous section who would be
glad to send them clothing and other
articles if they knew just where to
send. l wish you could get more in
formation relative to the condition Of
these people around Winder who are
reported in such a plight" Views and
Interviews Immediately complied with
the request Of Mrs. Brian by writing
to responsible party in Winder rela-
ceived no reply.
Nothing to Pay With.
This has been the quietest meeting
of the county commissioners we. have
had since l have been supervisor" was
the reply of Supervisor Hugh Brown
when asked Wednesday afternoon
about the proceedings of the county
commissioners who held their regular
monthly meeting that day. I'VE have
had many claims presented us today as
usual; but we have paid none of them
for the reason that we have had no
money with which 20 pay. The truth
is the county is out Of money. The tax
books you know, usually open on Oct
ober Is; but this year they have open
ID December l. Last years funds are
exhausted and this years revenue has
so far been coming in rather SLOW. We
have no authority now to borrow any
money and there is nothing for those
who have claims against the county to
do but wait until we get the money"
Think of the Letter Carriers.
"By the way" commented a thought
full lady this morning, I'D just like to
COW q ,r,Ord in tho ;n+erac.c Of tho cif,.
and country letter carriers over the
county which is appropriate at this
time Neither the city men nor the
country carriers get a holiday on
Christmas, you know, and the general
rule has been that they have been the
busiest kind of folks for q few days
preceding Christmas. Now if people
would start to do their Christmas
shopping right now and would mail
their Christmas packages earlier than
they generally do the Christmas rush
on all of Uncle Sans postal employees
would be lightened a lot And since
most of the Christmas packages are
mailed by the women, I'd like TO ad-
dress these remarks especially to the
women Of the county who read The
YOrkville Enquirer"
Much FIue in Rural Schools.
"There are many cases of Influenza
among pupils in the rural schools of
the county according to reports reach
ing my office" commented John E.
Carroll, county superintendent of edu-
cation last Wednesday. while so far
it has not been necessary to close any
of the schools on account of the infiu-
cnza situation, of course l am unable to
say how long it will be before it will

While this is Education Week over the
state and nation, we decided not tC
undertake any programme of general
observance in York county at this
time because of the flu. The plan now
is to observe Education Week some
time during the month of January al
