BILE, too" said Supervisor Brown last
Friday when asked if he had been
walking to town again.
That worried look the supervisor has
been carrying, 10, these many weeks

Of course that old Kings Mountain
road had something to do with 1t,

so turned out.
"Yes, we are getting her sanded
now" the supervisor said. ITS the
first chance we have had for long
time and we are going after it. l have
had twenty wagons on the job and
they have been working with a regu-
larity and precision that would do your
heart good. have been staying around
there watching them by the hour.

Where the Liquor c, mes From.
Had talk last Saturday afternoon
with officers whose business it is to do
what they can to run down the liquor
traffic in York county.
How about the liquor that comes
into Yorkville? Where does it come
from?
81 wish could answer that question.
II could could sleep better at night"
We'll, surely you know something
about itT
From the best information 1 have
there is not great deal Of liquor COM
ing to this place. Sometimes there
will be as much as four or five gallons
in q day and sometimes none. 1t is
brought here mainly in automobiles,
buggies, suit cases, hip pockets, and
sometimes smuggled by freight and ex-
press, and sometimes by parcels post
]. have no positive Information about
parcels post receipts at this office; but
/ have heard Of 1t at other places. That
comes from Charleston or Savannah,
and is usually shipped under circum-
stances that would involve neither the
consignor or cohsignee in case Of dis
covery. ......,
There are people who run liquor in
to this town in automobiles and OF
course they find ready sale for it. I
know some Of the people who are do
ing this; but the trouble Is in catch
ing them--knowing just when to seize
their cars. There are people, too, who
go after. their own liquor in automo-
biles, often driving long distances for 1t.
by those who know the ropes liquor
in more or less uncertain supply Is to
be had on the North Carolina line,
either side Of it, and then in the South
Mountain country near Hickory you
can always get liquor, provided you go
with the proper credentials. suppose
that even could buy 1t up there II l
would buy as would not be an off,
Ger up there.
But the greater part Of the booze
that Is being drunk about here Is not
whisky; 1t Is either this ginger or 9TH
err extracts or various concoctions that
are sold as medicines"
A. Jaunt Among the West Indies.
Prof r. ]. Herndon, of Yorkville,
has been taking jaunt Of several
thousand miles to Cuba, Panama,
along the northern coast Of South
America, among the West Indies. He
returned to Yorkville last Friday
afternoon, after having been gone a
little more than a month, feeling that
of the many similar trips he has taken
in various quarters, this was one OF
the finest and most satisfactory.
Yes, it was a splendid trip" said
Mr.. Herndon, when asked about it
Saturday. II feel that it was we'll
worth the time and expense. saw
many unusual sights, interesting peo-
pie, and got great deal of diversion
and entertainment generally.
I'VE. left New York on February 81,
on the Empress of Britain, one of the
finest, cleanest and most beautiful
ships l have ever seen and proceeded
slowly down the coast to Havana.
After a stop of about two days there
we went to Kingston, Jamaica, then
to Panama, and from Panama to
Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, then
to Port Of Spain, Trinidad, taking in
the asphalt lake; then to Bridgetown,
Barbadoes;. Fort de France and st.
Pierre. Martinique; Charlotte Amalie
st. Thomas: San Juan, Porto Rico, up
to Hamilton, Bermuda and thence
back to New York.
1T is hardly worth while to describe
the different countries through which
we passed, because while they are all
tremendously interesting, they have
been described so fully and so often
that l could tell but little that is new
OF course it was worth while to see
the Panama canal, the greatest en-
gineering achievement that the world
knows anything about. We went
across the country on the Panama
railroad, and we got a good impression
