- There is a probability that a new
street will be opened up in Yorkville
between East Liberty and East Mad
ison streets in the near future. Alder
man w Mason Mcconnell Of the street
committee, said yesterday he had infor-
nation that rights Of way had been
obtained for a new street to be run
across the area between the old fire
house and the old A. r. p. church lot
on East Madison street. Mr.. McCon-
nell said that the town stood ready to
take over the building and upkeep of
the new street as soon as the rights of
way are executed.
- Enrolment Of Precincts Nos. l and
2 totaled 372 up to yesterday after
noon. The enrolment book for Pre-
cinct No. /, which is kept in the office
of Sheriff Quinn showed an enrolment
of 151 voters while the book for No. 2
which is kept at the city hall showed
an enrolment of 221. Since the
women are entitled to enroll for the
primary election, it is estimated that
there are fully 1000 voters in the town
entitled to enroll. Reports from the
Cannon Mill precinct indicate that
there is little interest in enrolment Of
voters there.

Representatives Of the town coun-
Gil are expected to meet with the coun-
ty commissioners this afternoon rela-
tive to completing plans for bringing
the West road into Yorkville by way of
West Liberty street. The commission
ers some time ago offered to furnish
convict labor for the building of the
road inside the corporate limits Of
Yorkville and it was stated this morn
ing that the town authorities will ac-
cept the offer of the commissioners. The
town authorities will be required to
build the necessary bridges, provide
rights of way and the necessary dirt
for fills. w. Mason Mcconnell of the
town street committee said yesterday
that he felt sure that arrangements
would be made whereby the West road
would come into Yorkville by the West
Liberty street entrance. Mr.. McCOn-
nell felt, sure that the necessary rights
of way would be secured without any
trouble and that everything conDNcted
with the matter would be arr ged
speedily. He estimates that the cost
of building the part Of the road within
the corporate limits would be about
$4,000.
- Isidore Christ, the Greek, who has
been proprietor of the Candy Kitchen
since January 13, 1920, has sold out his
business to Peter Coglianos of Chester,
and moved to Charleston. The trans
fer of the business was effected yester
day morning, Christ and his wife leav-
ing in the afternoon. Although himself
a man of good education end fine char
acter, who deserves success, Christ has
had pretty hard sailing here. 1t was
no fault of his own. One day
during his absence, low class Greek,
about whom he knew little, but who
was left in charge of his business for
the time being, grossly insulted a little
white girl. The affair was followed by
the usual result, and the offending mis-
creant had to be hurried out Of town
as quickly as possiblc. AT least that
was considered about the best thing
that could be done. Christ had the
bond to pay, and being unable to make
people understand at once just how
things were, he had also to pay further
penalty in the loss of much desirable
patronage he had built up. Although
he continued to stay with his business
and make it clearer and clearer that
he had no sympathy with the Offend
ing brute who had disgraccd his place,
he was never able to win back the
to which he was entitled.
People who otherwise would have been
glad to buy his wares, would merely
look and pass on. But in spite OF it
all, he continued to live and pay his
bills. II would have remained here
he said yesterday; but my wife was
and wanted TO get back
close to her own people in Charleston,
so at last I decided that it would be
best to sell"
