'It will put lot more work on us
and tie things up pretty badly" said
Treasurer Neil when asked about the
proposed tax extension; "but beyond
that l have nothing to say. 1t Is the
legislature that is doing it, and of
course we will just have to take our
medicine"
Many Trave.ins Men.
"There has been an unusual rush Of
travelling men here during the past two
weeks" said Mr.. ]. E. Stroup, of York
vile Saturday. They have been so
numerous in fact that have been
ioklngly telling some of them that we
are having more drummers these days
than customers. AS O rule the drum
mers admit that they are finding trade
rather dull; but they say that there is
nothing else for them to do except call
on the trade and they are doing It,"
ku klux in Chester. ....
Down in Chester they are still talk
ing about the parade of bunch OF ku
Klux through the town some two
weeks or more ago. The subject came
up one night last week in converse
ton that Views and Interviews had
with prominent Chester citizen.
ayes sir there was a parade Of ku
Klux all right" he said. Il can qualify
to that for / saw them. There were
about thirty in the bunch-twenty-
eight l have been tod by people who
claimed to have counted them. They
wore their white disguises, came from
nobody knows exactly where and dis
appeared almost as mysteriously. / do
not know where they came from except
that it was from the direction of the
air line station. They did not make
any noise or trouble; bat just marched
in twos, quietly treading different
streets and disappearing.
Did you know any of them?"
mo, don't know that did. I have
heard local people say they recogniz-
cd some Of them; but that is about all
1 can say. am told that there is
Klan at this place, and I have reason
to believe it is fact; but the common
idea Is that this little procession con-
sisted entirely of Ku Klux from anoth-
er town. But really and truly do not
know"
...> Missed Her Guess.
When Pitroff the Snowman came in
TO The Yorkville Enquirer office last
Friday afternoon he asked Views and
Interviews; a.
What is the jury going to do in the
Thomas case?"
He referred to tine sensational trial
that had been in progress at Concord,
N. c., for about ten days. The jury
was then out. and Of course the people
who had been keeping up with the
proceedings were speculating over the
probable verdic' Pitroff had his own
idea of the possible outcome, and he
was sounding public sentiment for con-
firmation, on the theory that if his
clairvoyant could pronounce the find
ing in advance she would win credence
for her other declarations.
II don't know" said Views and In
terviews: but am afraid that If it
were a South Carolina jury that had
the case in charge Thomas would be
turned loose"
We'll that is just what the North
Carolina jury is going to do. Our
clairvoyant has a message that such
will be the verdict, and so she will de-
clare to the audience tonight"
That night the tlairvoyant told the
audience that the verdict would be not
guilty; but little later the jury itself
said that Thomas was guilty of second
degree murder, bearing out the widely
accepted truism that no man can
predict in advance the verdict Of
petit jury.
Jackson's Chickens.
John f. Jackson of York No. is
probably the leading chicken expert of
York county At any rate Views and
Interviews does not have in. mind at
this time another private poultryman
who has so many chickens. or who
handles them so successfully. Mr..
Jackson was in town last Saturday and
as usual had with him several dozen
eating eggs OF the best quality which
he was delivering to regular customers
at the market price-35 cents a dozen,
I'VE have about 200 hens at this
time" he said tslFiews and Interviews
in reply to a question. 81 cannot say
exact'y how many Of the hens are
laying; but guess seventy-five. You
know some lay every day, some lay
every other day, some skip one day
and lay two days. We are getting on
an average of so eggs n day. The
number will increase considerably from
now on"
Selling many eggs now"
yes good many: but I am setting
most of them-as fast as can get
hens that are ready to set"
Rather early to be setting hens
