"This time year ago., remarked an
Orangeburg man who was in Yorkville
recently, "the streets in the city OF
Orangeburg were lined with automo-
biles. But now the back lots of the
city are filled with horses and buggies
and one does not see nearly so many
automobiles. Boil weevil did it."

listened to some of the debate in the
house of representatives Thursday

Friday morning. ut does seem to- me
like those fellows work mighty slow
and that lots of them have the idea
they are there for a kind Of lark
more than for. any other purpose.
was very much amused at portions of
the debate heard Thursday night.
There is no question of the fact that
there are some very able men and some
very able speakers among the member
ship of the lower house"

with those chickens of John E. jack

Dictator j. Ernes. .Stroup and the
members OF York Lodge No. 1851 Loyal
Order of Moose deserve great credit for
putting over that Moose Special excur-
sion last Sunday to hear Billy SUM-
day" remarked citizen this morning.
TT is no easy matter tosget up 125 or
more people for special train for any
occasion just at this season. The
Chester Chamber of Commerce, am
informed tried to interest people Of
that town in running an excursion to
Spartanburg and failed and the New
berry Chamber of Commerce tried 1t
also and failed. 1t would appear that
York Moose Lodge is q pretty live
Chamber of Commerce ats we'll as
fraternal order" ....
Several men were standing in front
of a local drug store Saturday after
noon discussing the price Of cotton. Il
believe she will go to"25 cents within
three months" said a farmer who has
been holding his cotton for a long
time. There's going to come demand
within the next three months and then
youll find farmers in York county and
other counties turning it loose at rs

put the price up to 25 cents n pound"

be 25 cents pound by June IL, three
months from today" said the first.
III take you" said the second.
So three months from Saturday
somebody is going to buy q hat for
somebody and present it in front Of
that drug store where the men were
talking.

Post this morning. Squire attends
the local school for negroes and he
does considerable studying in the even
ing at the club while keeping the fire
hot for club members who desire to
take a shower bath. He spends a
great deal of time on his spelling les
sons and when he comes across,a word
in his lesson the meaning of which he
does mot know he always inquiries of
some man who might be taking bath
at the time The other evening Squire
