WILSON IN YORKVILLE. j / Mr. Hugh Wilson of Abbeville, who is affiliated with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, "AH Right Presbyterians," he calls them, was very much interested in the new church building in Yorkvlle. He took occasion to go through the building, the main auditorium, the session room, the ladies' parlor, the Sabbath school rooms, etc., and noter carefully all the appointments and conveniences of the remarkably complete structure. He wanted to know wheth\ er the church was on the "pauper list," and when advised to the contrary, expressed satisfaction. "Are you endowed?" he asked, and when advised to the contrary, remarked that an endowed church was as weak and ineffective an institution as a newspaper of free circulation. Mr. Wilson was very much pleased to see the church out on "A front street instead of being hid away in a back i I t< n ine ? #?

The two men stand on practically the same platform so far as platforms go. To show how the two men stood in the preferences of the people in this county in the first primary two years ago it is only necessary to state the vote. Gov. Manning received the sum total of seventy-nine votes. Mr. Cooper received fourteen hundred and sixty-nine or approximately fifteen hundred. He almost carried the county aga:nst the whole field. Gov. Manning will receive this year more than the seventy-nine votes which were given him two years ago, but most of the votes given him will be new ones.- - Mr. Cooper as heretofore retains much of that popularity which was his two years ago. Mr. Cooper has excited no bitter feeling anywhere. People believe he will be fiir and impartial in deeds as well as in words. For that reason in this part of the countiy they are going to vote for him for governor. If now those great and good uewsnon?rc wli (h nm lahorincr for the re rwi'v* ~ v . eUctioti of Gov. Manning will just realize that there are some folks in the State who intend to vote for Mr. Cooper and that it is entirely unneccessary to use a curry-comb on their spines in the one instance and then squeal about unfairness and all that sort of thing in another, we think the whole situation would be greatly improved. Lets stop misrepresentation and buncombe. A vote is a vote and the man who can get the most of them is the man we must look to to turn the trick. DO YOU KNOW THAT?

Mr. Wilson has very decided views as to church work and activities generally; but he does not take much stock in spending money for foreign missions, especially for the Mexican mission.?Yorkville En- . quirer.

I asked you to sell me to an old man, who would feed me on plenty of gasoline and oil, and let me stand ^ up in the shade and rest. But' you ar took advantage of me. Without my er consent I found myself being driven by a young man out for sport. Well, vt I have broken all the speed laws, all the parking laws, all records on th Wardlaw street, and the heart of m every pther car in town, because I * go everywhere. I ramble the streets to in the day time, and waltz them at night. I see everything and do ev- te erything which a car can do, and do to it all the time because my young da master is a game sport and believes T< in going the gaits. ' M But I have been telling him he Rj would come to grief, and if he did ar not quit spurring me I would run k< away. Well, Friday morning he hitched me up when I was not feel- Ci ing well, and drove me down town, yc I trotted around tne public square for a while, when to my surprise my master said I' must go to the jail, and away he started with me, but I de- to murred. As we turned the post th office corner I asked him why I wps ^ going to jail, and he refused to tell ^ me, but spurred me on. Just then ai we met some people in the wagon bi and my master turned to ask them how he looked and I said to myself, J I will get away now, and I made a dash to get under Burnett Eakin's m house, but my master jerked me and ^ I stumped a toe on the steps and turned over. I spilt him out on the ground, and then I saw I had him. I turned over on him and held him w tight until some old men came and got him out, after he promised me to allow me to go to the hospital to tj rest up from the nervous exhaustion he has occasioned me. , J( While I am here, please sell or o: trade me to some easy-going courting man like Mr. Williamson or Mr. Compa ES | ??
