The First A. r. p. church of Gas

Ernest Orr, of New Albany, Miss. Rev.
Mr.. Orr has not yet indicated whether

Judge Peurifoy has been receiving a
stream of letters from all over the state
since the recent announcement of his
proposed retirement from the circuit
bench. They come from his colleagues
on the bench, from prominent lawyers
in every section and from laymen-all
expressing deep and sincere regret at
his determination in the matter. Some
even 20 so far as to beg him to recon-
slider, if possible, Notwithstanding the
reason he has assigned for the step he
has taken. His honor has been very
much touched, so much so perhaps,
that if he had realized as now the
full extent of the confidence and
esteem in which he is held, his decision
in the matter would have been even
more difficult than it was.

From time to time The Yorkville En-
quircr has heard of more or less local
hostility to the oil mills in the county,
mainly in the shape of dcroSatory talk
and unfricndly accusations; but why
this talk and why these unfricndly ac-
cusations it is difficult to understand.
All of the York county oil mills arc in
dependent corporations, owned by our
own people, and having no connection
with the big corporations that dominate
the business not only here but through
out the south. Take for instance the
oil mills at YorkviIle, Glover and Rock
Hill. All of them arc of Invaluable

that it fixes the price of seed. meal and
hulls. 1t docs not The prices of these
commodities are fixed by the general
market, and the Yorkvillc Cotton Oil
mill buys IFS share in competition with
the big combinations, giving the farm
CrS a better price than if it were not
here. The small ginncrics over the
county are useful and all right, and get
along without the slightest friction on
account of the larger ginnrric&; but
without the larger ginncrics, where
would we be? Would it not be awk-

if the ginncry of the GOrkvillc Oil COM

fag end of the crop, and does anybody
think that any small private ginncly
could afford to remain in commission
at this time for the little bit of work
this big ginnCry is doing, to say moth
