"Yes the street car strike Is still OH
In Columbia" said a Columbia man
who was in Yorkville yesterday. The
motormen and conductors are-most
of them-still living in Columbia
and a good many Of them are making
a living operating 'jitney AUTOMOBILES
in opposition to the street cars. The
street cars charge straight fare OF I
cents with an additional charge OF 3
cents for a transfer. The jitney drivers
get 10 cents for trip inside the city
so one can ride in an automobile as
cheaply as he can ride OH the street
cars. While a good many people are
riding on the street cars if you stand
on the street for Il half hour you VIII
find more street cars travelling without
than with passengers"

Sheep From Down State.
Those sheep that we have adver-
tised in The Yorkville Enquirer for
sale have been obtained from a man
at Conway, down in Horny county,
said John M. Ford of Bethel township
who was asked what the idea was In
bringing sheep into this section. AS
Won are aware" Mr.. Ford went on to
saw. free range is now contrary TO
law in Horny county as in other sec
tions of the state and sheep are no
longer allowed to run at large. Con-
seauently the Horny people have de-
cided to get rid Of theirs and Mr.. Bar
nett and / bought this flock of 14O and
are shipping them to this section pri-
marily with q view to selling them lof
mutton. OF course If any people in
this section desire to buy few with
view to raising sheep we will be glad
to let them go for that purpose. There
is a big demand for mutton in Gastonia
and Charlotte especially and 1 guess
that we will slaughter a good many OF
them for mutton"
The Candidates Song.
It's now approaching
That time of year
When there's nothing else
We can hear
But that biennial song:
Howdy'e do
= I have something
To say to you.
If for me
You will vote
I'll appreciate it more
Than you could hope.
I'll lower your taxes
And listen to your woes
And mourn when you
Turn up your toes.
I'm the very man
To run the race
Having had much experience
In similar place.

That takes full time;
But this public job
Pays better'n mine.
