81 don't see how the boil weevil is
going to hurt u.s." said Mr.. j. f. Car
son, of the Delphos neighborhood, Sat-
urday. II believe the weevil will do us
good. Looks to me like that most OF
the profit there is in cotton raising, il
there is any at all, goes to the fertili-
zer companies anyhow. / have moi
made anything to brag on perhaps, but
am better off than would have been
had made less of my living at home. :
Matthews Had No Part.
81 find I was mistaken in my state
ment to you that Ed Matthews, better
known as Jack Johnson had any part
in keeping convicts at bay along with
Bub Daniels after I was struck with an
axe" said Jim Robinson, chainganG
guard, Saturday night. "When / came
to myself 1 saw Matthews, alias John
son, standing there alongside the con-
victs and l got the impression that he
helped in rounding them up; but later
/ found / was mistaken. Onie Grier
was the other negro who helped Danicl
and gave the alarm. Johnson had moth
ing to do with 1t, although l do not
think he had any intention of trying to
get away" Mr.. Robinson's head is still
badly swollen; but he expects to be
able to resume his duties within q few
days.
Expecting Taxes Only.
Mr.. j. S. Glasscock, well known cltl-
zen of Catawba and former repre-
sentative in the legislature from York
county, who has been in bad health,
writes Views and Interviews: "Mr. w.
S. Lesslie and myself both were out at
church last Sabbath. l haven't missed
many days, but he has. was at town
Crock HID yesterday for short time
Everything was quiet. A good many
people broke before the weevils got Ill
their work-so far mostly tenants
Others you will hear Of later, l am
afraid. ] had all my tenants SOW
wheat, oats and rye, charging one
fourth of what they make for rent. l
am not expecting any more than taxes
for some time to come and I am not
going TO take much risk on cotton this
wear. Those were fine articles you had
on Charleston and the trip. to the home
of MI. Rice. Mr.. T. NJ. Allen says he
did not think there was such fine
place down in the swamps. If Mr.. Al
len could hear Mr.. Rice on birds, he
would be delighted"
Just Suggestion.
"See by the daily papers that Billy
Sunday, the great evangelist started
a big meeting in Spartanburg Sunday
said citizen yesterday. Sunday Is
to be in SpartanburG six weeks
preaching three times day in Dig
tabernacle which the people Of that
city have erected at a cost of $4,000.
In n couple OF weeks you'n begin to
hear OF people from all sections OF York
and counties adjoining going to Spar
tanburg to hear him. l understand that
it is the custom Of Mr.. Sunday To
preach upon invitation in surrounding
towns and cities when he is holding q
meeting in place. Spartanburg IS
less than sixty miles from iorkvil e.
hn
idea for the ministers OF IorkNlie to
get together and invite Mr.. Sunday
and Ma Sunday to come to IorkYlile
and hold at least one service while he
is in Spartanburg. Billy might do Il
lot Of. good here. He certainly won't
do any harm. I'm merely throwing
out the suggestion for what IT Is
worth"

annual canvass of the county for the

Yes, the Glover people were ready
for me and they kept me busy too.
There is nothing like it anywhere
else in the county, especially in the

turns OF. every taxpayer, under thCii

every bit :pf TIE necessary information
down TO a 'niccty-Poll, household fur
niturc, watches, pigs, mules, horses
automobiles. etc, and it was seldom
necessary to ask question: Ihe!
