Will Devote More Time. Miss Minnie Lee Garrison, Yorl county Canning club agent was ir Yorkville Saturday, in the interest ol her work. The Canning club agent will devote ten months of her time t< the work this year, although she has previously been employed for nin< months. The county supply bill includes an item of $525 for the services of the agent. Heretofore th? legislative delegation has provided only $450 for the work. The countj " ?J onni-nnrlatfts S22E Doaru ui cuutawu U|f|,.vr . for the work and the balance of th? agent's salary is provided by the Federal government. Held No Meeting. Although Saturday was the regulai time for the regular monthly meeting of the local branch of the South Carolina Farmers' Union, no meeting was held owing to inability to secure a quorum. There were not more than four members present at 2.30 o'clock, the time set for the meeting. The Yorkvllle branch of the organization which has recently secured its charter, seems to forget the fact that regular meetings are intended to be held the third Saturday in each month, at 2.30 o'clock in the court room. Smallpox at Hickory Grov*. Scott Jeffries, a negro whose home is at Hickory Grove, but who has beer working in tobacco factories at Winston-Salem, N. C., is in quarantine at Hickory Grove in an old cabin near his home on the Mrs. B. Frank Scoggins place, on account of being a victim ol smallpox. He came down on No. 114, Sunday morning from Blacksburg, and the conductor having notified the town authorities in advance, Jefferies was at once taken in chaxge and made as comfortable as possible in the old cabin. Dr. Taylor vaccinated Jefferies' ?<~- ?i /,nu n atthnueli none of wue aim kuuuivu, ? w them had been exposed to Infection. McLaurin Accepts. When asked at Gaflfney last Saturday about that suggestion in The Enquirer of a Joint debate at Filbert next summer, Mr. McLaurin laughed heartily and said: "Yes, certainly, I will go, if the Filbert folks want it that way, You just tell them to issue the invitation to the people you named or to anybody else, and we will talk it over, I went up to Filbert once, you know, expecting some folks who had been doing a lot of talking elsewhere, to say It to my face; but they did not say anything, and of course I could not put myself in the position of being eithei an aggressor or an explainer?not on an occasion like that. Why I would be glad to go to Filbert." Testimony From the Other Sido. Mr. John W. Hill of Waterbury, Conn., who came south as a boy in the forties, and who after living in Yorkville for several years went back to his northern home, and later volunteered for the war on the Union side, writes to the editor of The Enquirer, under date of February 17: "Your dear father's letter, describing the fight at Hilton's Head, and reproduced in your 'Footsteps of the Fathers,' is very fair and correct, according to my recollection. 1 was there on that occasion; but on the opposite side, of course." Mr. Hill is one of the very few Federal veterans left alive in the great city o 1 Waterbury, and will be 81 years of age if he lives until April 13, next. Bethel Presbytery Met. A special meeting of Bethel Presbytery was held at Purity Presbyterian church in Chester yesterday, Rev. R Roy Brown, moderator presiding. The meeting was held for the purpose ol dissolving the relationship of Rev F. G. Hartman with the church at Great Falls, Rev. Hartman having accepted a call to the Presbyterian church of Washington, Ga. The Presbytery decided to hold a special meeting in Yorkville on March 4, for the purpose of dissolving the relations between Rev. F. Ray Riddle and the Allison Creek, Beth Shiloh, Ramah and Beersheba churches, Rev. Riddle having accepted a call to the First Presbyterian church of Monticello, Fla. Maxwell-Dale. A marriage which came as a surprise to the many friends of the contracting aprties, was that of Mr. Chas. C. Dale and Miss Mamie Bell Maxwell, in Yorkville, Saturday afternoon, the ceremony being performed at the Methodist parsonage by the Rev. Henry Stokes. Mr. Dale is a citizen of Rock Hill, and is in the employ of the London Printery of that cJty. Mrs. Dale is a daughter of Mr. John Maxwell and formerly resided in Charlotte. After the ceremony, which was witnessed by a number of friends of the young couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dale left ovei the C. & X.-W. for Charlotte, and from there they will go to Salisbury for a visit to relatives and friends. They will reside in Rock Hill. Overdrafts in State Banks. I. M. Maulden of Pickens, state bank examiner, has sent out a circular letter to all the state banjos in South Carolina witn a view 10 uiscuuiagwig the practice of allowing overdrafts He states that he has no power to prohibit such practice; but does not hesitate to say that this practice is a source of loss to all the banks, and should be discredited in the interest ol good business. He says that the state banks of South Carolina have beer losing an average of $40,000 a year or account of overdrafts, and the losses go principally to bums, who regard the privilege of overdrawing their accounts as one of their principal assets ir business. He intimates that hereaftei he will be still more strict than heretofore in requiring state banks to either charge outstanding overdrafts ofl their books or to cover them with proper security. Would Condemn Sand for Roads. Mr. J. M. Brice of Yorkville Xo. 4, is one farmer who would have a law allowing the condemnation of sand for road work. Speaking of the matter Saturday, Mr. Brice said: "It's a pity our representatives in the legislature don't enact a law allowing th condemnation of properties for the purpose of securing sand. I know ol lots of roads that are sanded with sand brought from a long distance, when there is plenty of sand to be had from lands along the road at the place where it is being worked. There are people who own sand and will neither sell nor give, consequently tht. onst of hiiuline sand to build the public road which might run through their place is enormous. Of course, I would pay the full value of sand that might he so condemned and 1 think such a measure would be an economical one." Death of Daniel Ford. Mr. Daniel M. Ford died at his home three miles north of Clover last Friday afternoon as the result of appoplexy, with which he was Strieker about eight hours before his death Mr. Ford the day before had been ir his usual good health and there was not the slightest warning before the stroke, which terminated in his death The deceased was in his 67th year, having been born March 9. 1858. He is survived by his wife, who was. before her marriage. Miss Rebecca, daughter of the late David Adams, and to whom he was married forty years ago. Five children survive, as follows: Messrs W. H-. and E. L. Ford: Mrs. S. A. Faires and Misses Maggie and Xina Ford. The deceased was for many years a member of the Presbyterian church and bore the reputation or a Rood, honest citizen. Funeral services were held at his late home Saturday, conducted by Rev. A. A. McLean and the interment was in the cemetery al Clover. Peculiar Incident On the Southern. The Southern's train No. 117, from \ Columbia to Yorkville, had a narrow 5 escape from going into the ditch al e Claremont last Friday afternoon; but 9 succeeded in coming through it all with only an interesting story for The Enquirer. The train was rushing along a clear stretch of track at the rate ol 35 or 40 miles an hour with nothing in r view more notable than a little negrc * grazing a cow on the right of way. On - the approach of the train the little pickJ aninny, for some unaccountable rea>> son, ran around to the side of the cow * and the disturbed animal started - across the track. A chain attached to - its horns became entangled in a cross tie or a rail, and the pilot struck the s animal squarely, throwing it full ten feet in the air. The collision occurred f at the end of a trestle ten or fifteen s feet long and the cow was carried across to the other side?dead. The railroad people speculated on what a narrow margin the train escaped seri| ous wreck. t Died from Rabies. 1 Mr. Simon McDonald, a former resl} dent of Rock Hill, but who for some 5 time past has been residing at Hunt} ersville. N. C., died in a Charlotte * hospital Sunday, of rabies, he having been bitten or scratched by a mad dog 5 in December. Two of Mr. McDonald's ' children were also bitten by the dog. \ The deceased showed no ill effects from the bite and had thought nothing ' of it until about a week ago when naralvsis and other signs indicating hydrophobia set in, and he was then carried to Charlotte for treatment , Nothing: could be done for the unfortunate man, however, and he died in ' great pain and suffering. Mr. McJ Donald was about 30 years of age and | is survived by his wife, mother and ' several children. The funeral and in' terment was in Laurelwood cemetery, 1 Rock Hill, after funeral services conducted by Rev. A. S. Rogers. Thus far the children of Mr. McDonald that 1 were bitten by the dog have develop ed no trouble therefrom. The Pasteur 1 treatment is being administered to 1 them. Bethany Graveyard. A place of interest to many people in attendance on the opening of Bethany church Sunday, was the Bethany graveyard, one of the oldest burying grounds in York county. While nobody seems to have taken the trouble to count them, it is said that there are more than 1,000 persons buried in the historic place. Included in this number are several veterans of the battle of King's Mountain and other contests of the war of the Revolution, and here practically all of the pioneers of the progressive community are interred. An examination of the markers in the graveyard shows that an ancient soapi a nrnmhlinp ftwav bears OIUIIV) TV <u V* w the oldest record. The inscription on this is: "In memory of Two Babies of W. & M. Dickson, A. ?D.. 1796-1803." According to this record, the first persons buried there were the babies of Rev. Wm. Dickson, the first pastor ot the church. There is an old legend however, that the first person buried at Bethany was an Indian warrior. From whence the warrior came or 1 when he died and was buried, is not known. There are many graves in the cemetery containing no markers whatever, but are level with the surface of the earth, and it is quit* possible that many a hero of the Revolution killed in the battle of King's Mountain, or who died from wounds received there, was quietly interred at Bethany, the 1 record of whose death if any was made, the ravages of time have obliterated completely. There are an unusually large number of soapstone slabs serving as markers to many of the ancient graves, and according to the best information obtainable the l stone came from the vicinity of the 1 battleground and most of them were ) erected by a Mr. Crawford many years ' ago. Constant contact with the weather has caused the inscriptions on many to now be indistinguishable, although ' it is not hard to find some of 1807, 1811, ' 1813, and other dates of a century ago. The many white marble markers of various designs which have been erected at many graves during the past I twenty years, make a striking contrast ! to the simple slabs that were generally i used in the community in the years hefnre. The Bethany graveyard is now well filled and it will be only a matter of a few years before its boundaries will have to be enlarged. It was large1 ly for this reason that the new church was built at a point considerably above j the old structure, the congregation having in mind the fact that the space between the building and the cemetery will at some time have to be taken over by the little city of the dead.

Co. 1 i Steadily Improving \ It is generally conceded that no <1 msiness was more seriously effected I n the South by reason of the Euro- C jean war than Life Insurance, in so I ar as the writing of New business vas concerned. Men who had been I .onsiderjng the matter of applying b or insurance on their lives previous t o August 1, 1914, abandoned the jroposition on the outbreak of the var, losing sight of the fact that, in nany instances, their dependents were ess able to "CARRY THE RISK" han previous to that time, because _ >f the fact that the death of the c 3readwinner would mean greater lardship than might have been the ase under normal conditions. I am 1 (leased to be able to state that condi- J ions are steadily improving in this b ection, and that Life Insurance will ? rery likely resume normal before o nany weeks, war or no war.
