"Town Killers."
Under tho suggestive caption,
"Town-Killers," the Yorkville
Yeoman discourses as follows:
One barrier to the growth of
Yorkville is the indifference property
holders show to those wish
ing to buy building lots, or tlio
extravagant prices they ask when
they can be induced to fix a price
at all. A gentleman a few evenings
ago said to the editor of this
paper that he had asked for prices
on different lots, ordinary lots
without improvements. He had
offered $400 for one and something
ov'er $700 for another. lie
had obtained no satisfactory answer
in any case, yet be is a man
whoso good intentions no one
could doubt, and one everyone
would believe to be able to stick
to any trade he made. He said
that as a result of his failure he
would probably remove his place
of residence from Yorkville, as
his business was elsewhere and he
was not here as much as a third
of his time anyway. Under ordinary
circumstances it might be
thought that the action of those
who had been so indifferent about
selling hud shown superlative
faith in Yorkville, but as a matter
of fact we believe an investigation
might show that they were among
the greatest croakers in town
about high assessments and high
taxes. What is the remedy?
Would it not he a good plan to
raise the assessments until they
would approximate what the own
ers could show was a fair proportion
of what they consider a fair
market value, and at which they
would be willing to sell? We
have heard that our sister city of
Kock Mill tried this with success.
The time has cotno when Yorkvillo
ought to want to grow, for selfpreservation,
if for nothing else,
and she will have to treat the
barnacles with cruel justice if1
they will view the matter in no
other way. "The greatest good
to the greatest number'' should
lie our motto. We are not anar
chists, but as the matter stands it
looks like about a half dozen
moss-backs can throw a damper on
the interests of a thousand a da
half fe'low citizens. When it

they have is too good to part with
at any price, hut when it conies to
taxation it isn't wcrth giving
away. They stand in the way of
improvement when it comes to any
public proposition on the ground
of taxation; they stand in the
way when others offer to buy and
assume the burden. We b'dieve
it would be a good idea for them
to pa}' u little mote tax.

important Decision of the Su
preme Court Filed.
Special to tireenvillc News.
Columbia, S. C\, dune 17.-The
supreme court today tiled an
opinion in favor of the dog.
In a Newberry case it was held j
by tin1- circuit judge that the dog j
was not property and was not a '
subject for larceny.
The supremo court holds that
the dog is property and can bo
stolen and that a party can be
indicted for stealing a dog, that
the dog is valuable notwithstanding
the common law, which is
against the doetrne of the decision
filed today.
Monroe voted for bonds for
water works and electric lights
by a large majority last Monday.

Mk. Editor:?The health of
the community is good at this
writing.
Crops are fine uround Magill
P. O., especially cotton. Corn
is looking up stout, but vounff,
having just been planted about
four weeks, and will average halfleg-high.
The model farmer, Mr. .1. L.
BeU, the etlieient manager of Dr.
T. J. Strait's Cedar Creek farm,
has the finest cotton crop he has
had in many a year. lie has two
hundred and eighty acres in cottor,
all good. Scventv-tivo or one
hundred acres of this will average
knee-high. His corn cannot be
beat, for its age. Sowing peas is
the order of the day with .J. L. B.
at this writing.
The man who plows the kicking
bay mule in Cedar Creek bottoms
has just passed. I guess he is
hunting a good dinner?ham and
eirgs of course.
Some of Magill's men are preparing
for lots of fun. They have
I a pack of hounds. Look out fox.
They went the other morning and
pulled in a red. Mr. brought
the tail back tied to his kicking
mule's brid'e.
The boys of Kussel Place have
a base ball team and exjiect to
make lirely times ior some of the
other second-handed players in
the future.
Mrs. J. L. Bell is spending a
week with her daughter, Mrs.
James Cauthen, in Lancaster.

Mr. Hilton, the smallpox patient,
was released from the pest
bouse Saturday and immediately
lift for his wife's home, in the
lower part of Lancaster county.
He was entirely cured. The
families that were in quarantine

The total cost to the town on ac<*
count of the smallpox patient and
the families in quarantine was

Well, Mr. editor, wo are having
some fine showers now and
our blues have been turned to
smiles. Our farms and gardens
have revived and things are beginning
to look like living. General
Green has made his appear ance
at last and our lazy club will
have to adjourn and go to work.
We are getting along very well
down here, except a little fighting
ever now and again.
We arc having a very good
Sunday school conducted by Mr.
Dock Fade, and preaching every
fourth Sunday, by tho Rev. T A
Dabney. We all like him fine.
He is a good one, I toll you.
Wo had a very interesting
school meeting the other day and
everything passed off yery quiet
with tho election of Mr. A C
Rowel I as teacher. We welcome
Mr. Uowell in our community
and wish him success with the
school.
Mr. F M Walters of this place,
visited friends and relatives at
Dwight last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ilinson
of White Bluff, visited relatives
at this place last Sunday.
Mr. R K .Jenkins of Lancaster

Well,Mr editor, we all were very
I sorry to hear of the death of our
Governor, notwithstanding the

deceased. 1 am a prohibitionist

every body was of my notion the
dispensaries would have to close,
the blind tigers would stop and
whiskey would lie a thing of the
