Although not represented at the t meeting of the board, The Enquirer { has a thorough understanding of all the ins and outs of this advertising ? matter, and in the issues of Wednes- I day and Saturday, discussed the ques- < tion, not from behind the scenes; but < from a dignified common sense stand- t point, and on Monday Clerk Brice t handed in a supplementary notice : i Yorkville. S. C. July 11,1898. ( Gentlemen?In order to prevent any misunderstanding between the newspapers bidding for public printing on the "! 12th instant, I will state that the contract proposed to be let by the county com mis- k sioners on the 12th instant, contemplates j and includes all the printing and adver- , tising of every nature and kind whatsoever emanating from the county auditor, < county treasurer and county superinten- . r?f Adoration of York countv. South Carolina, for the period named in my fir^t communication to you, for which the county of York is or will assume any liability. Respectfully, J. S. Brice. Clerk Co. Commissioners, York Co., S. C. Upon the basis of these notices, of course, it was necessary for The Inquirer to make its proposition as to what it would do, and when the board met yesterday, the following proposition was handed in : Yorkville, S. C., July 12,1898. J. S. Brice, Esq., Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners: Dear Sir? We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favors of July 6 and 11. We have not been advised that the officials mentioned have delegated to your board the responsibility of giving publicity to such notices as the law requires these officials to publish ; but as a matter of courtesy beg to advise you that we will publish these notices at the rate prescribed by law. In order that there may be no possible misunderstanding, we will advise you that at the rates prescribed by law, the advertisements involved in your notice as required by law to be published, will amount in the aggregate to the sum of $18, and for this amount we will publish them in The Yorkville Enquirer, during the period you specify. * * * T--1? 11 J 4.1_ J . I our inner 01 juiy 11, oviueuuj raum j forth by the editorial in The Enquirer of last Saturday, but which you say was written to prevent misunderstanding, l confuses us very much. The advertising involved is a matter of statute law which i all may read, and which, therefore, need j not be subject to confusion ; but when < you refer to "all the printing of every ] nature and kind whatsoever, emanating ( from the county auditor, county treasurer . and county superintendent of education," 1 we confess that you have us beyond our ( depth. j To do all this printiug properly would require a much larger outlay of capital than would be justified by all the work 1 of the kind that cau be gotten in this sec- j tion. Outside of Charleston and Colum- ( bia, there is no office in the state that can do it properly. We can come nearer 1 doing it than can any other office in this 1 section, but it is far beyond our facilities. $ There is much of this printing that we can do; but as a business proposition it ' strikes us that we can hardly afford to make a bid for it under the terms of your j letter. It is impossible to foresee exactly . how much or what kind of printing any of these offices will require, and until < you inform us on this subject, we will j have to withhold our bid. In the mean- { time, however, with regard to such work as comes within the range of our facili- ' ties, we beg to inform you, that if you 1 will give us specifications as to quantity, ( quality and time of delivery, we will give . you prices that cannot be duplicated in this section, except for inferior grades of 1 work. 1 While awaiting specifications as to job j work, we beg to say that nothing in this , proposition with reference to advertising ' ' is to be taken as in any way vitiating or I annulling our existing contract with the < board of county commissioners on the ] advertising subject. The Yorkville Enquirer. ' The only other bid submitted was that of the Yorkville Yeoman, per J. S. Drakeford, who offered to do the work specified for 25 percent, less than the rate prescribed by law. The members of the board, in con- J sidering the matter, showed that they had given it more thought than ever before, and, generally discussed the situation from a reasonable standpoint. Mr. Gwin raised the point that if ^ The Enquirer's bid was the legal ( rate and the legal rate only amounted s to $18,-then the bid of Mr. Drakeford, i which was 25 per cent, less than the * legal rate, must be the lowest. Mr. ( Culp called attention to the alleged fact that the advertisement of the au- j ditor alone came to $18, and some t cents, and that in addition to this, the j treasurer had a long advertisement to j print. Mr. Miller professed not to under- ] stand the matter, and then asked that it be referred to Mr. Brice. Mr. Brice was asked for various points of infor- < mation, and so also was a representa- ' tive of The Enquirer who was pres- $ ent. Mr. Brice gave his opinion freely. J The representative of The Enquirer J declined to make any explanations, stating that in case of dispute the matter would have to be settled in accordance with the written papers. Mr. Miller desired to know whether there was anything in the letting out of the advertising that would interfere with the existing contract whereby The Enquirer is doing the advertis- t ing lor tne ooara ior noimng. } Upon motion of Mr. Wilkerson, sec- j conded by Messrs. Ashe and Stanton, ; the question was called on the accep- ' tance of the proposition of The En- * quirer. A yea and nay vote did not ( bring out a satisfactory expression, and upon a call for a rising vote Messrs. j Wilkerson, Ashe, Stanton and Moss, ? voted in the affirmative. Messrs. 1 Gwin and Miller kept their seats. i The matter having been disposed of, 1 Mr. Grist explained that by the terms J of the existing contract The Enquirer was publishing the appointments of the treasurer without charge, and showed where it had been credited on the bill rendered "by contract," although it ought to have been credited "by injustice?by outrage." Then he < went on to explain that the only adver- t tising covered by the new proposition, < was the appointments of the county 1 4 iuditor?which publication, at the le- a jal ratas, amount to about $18. a Further, J\Ir. Grist took occasion to 3 say there was no reason why the mem- jj jers of the board should be mixed up j. )n this advertising question : You S( ;annot be deceived by false circula- c ;ion statements. You know which of a he papers are sought after in your espective neighborhoods, which are ( jirculated without authority, and p vhich remain dead in the postoffices. ifou know that you can give better o service to the public through one news- k paper than through another, and you e enow that to put the advertising space ? )f all on the same basis as to price, to ;he lowest bidder, is unjust to the g lewspapers and to the public. For b t.hintr it is calculated to Dlace the S idvertisement in a paper which a ? majority of the most interested peo- " Die do not see, and again to pay all j :he papers for the advertisements at d ;be same price that is allowed for the y jest, is equally wrong." b All this talk was after the contract n iad been let, and the board is to pay ^ for the advertising just what it would Dave had to pay had it not held the c meeting. is t (i LOCAL LACONICS. g Death of W.

Yorkcoun- v ,y people who read The Enquirer a >ay that it keeps them better informed ibout things in which they are inter ?sted than any other paper of which ;hey have any knowledge. Many of _ ;hose who subscribe and pay for it, ilso complain that their neighbors an- w ioy them by wanting their papers be- S fore they have time in which to read t themselves. Then let all who read /his, who are not subscribers, become subscribers themselves.

The soldiers will fight the war, while we "speed the plow." Let us prepare our lands with the same thought and care as the general and his staff prepares for battle; let us sow an abundant crop of wheat, oats and pease, together with grasses and clover, and the fields will bloom in all their glory while the martial music of the war will be drowned with the fairy-like song of the birds in the spring, and peace and plenty will most likely be our reward.
