WITHIN THE TOWN. ? The communtation street tax is due. The amount is $2. ? The teachers who have been attending the summer school during the past * month left for their homes last Saturday. The trustees of the Yorkville Graded schools have elected J. A. Cunningham, of Union, superintendent of the schools for Negroes. ? This is the last day of grace for those who have not paid their water rent for the month ending June 30. Chief Love will issue receipts today; but tomorrow Superintendent Rawls goes out with his wrenches to cut off the water supply of delinquent patrons. The barns destroyed on account of ^glanders last week, included the one at the Jail, owned by the county, one on the Adickes residence lot, one on the Harriet Steele residence lot, and one on the Parish hotel lot. The jail barn was worth probably 3200 and the others from $15 to $40 eacn. nt-A Negro woman was before Mayor <Wtllis, Monday, on the charge of petty larceny. It was the first case under the recently passed ordinance. The woman had helped herself to certain goods that had struck her fancy in a dry goods store. She claimed that she had found the goods on the floor and, supposing that they had been dropped there by some customer, had taken charge of them until she could find the owner. The mayor asked her how she proposed to pursue her search; but she could give no satisfactory answer. In view ot the fact that this was the first offense under the new ordinance, the mayor imposed a fine of only $5, and the woman went to jail pending the raising of the money by her friends. YORK'S TAXABLE PROPERTY. Auditor Williams is Just completing his abstract of the property in York county, returned for taxation during the year commencing January 1, 1901. He has all the figures except those re- 1 lating to railroads, telegraphs, insurance companies and textile manufacturing plants, which figures are to be furnished by the state board of equalization. From the abstract, as completed, with the figures referred to omitted, the return of realty and personalty by townships stands as follows: Realty. Personalty Bethel * 224.505 $ 103,800 Bethesda 321,405 98,320 Broad River, 212,565 104,050 Bullock's Cieek, 256,9(j0 70,hiu Catawba 785.580 474,105 Ebenezer, 259,670 63.735 Fort Mill 275.(540 117,235 Kind's Mountain 263.415 136.620 York 521,745 310,560 Totals, ?3,121,545 81,551,240 In the absence of the figures relating to manufacturing plants, comparisons with last year are of but little value. The total value of real estate last year was 3.296,285 and the total value of personalty was 81,947,300. When the returns from manufacturing plants are in the totals for this year, of course, will show an increase over those of last year. The figures pertaining to live stock are complete and are as follows: CD ? K T ^ .

Last year there were returned 2,120 horses, 6,844 head of cattle, 4,044 mules. 1,281 sheep and goats. 5,230 hogs and 2,083 dogs. Hogs show a decrease in every town0 ship of the county and cattle show an increase in all the townships save King's Mountain and York. PLEASED WITH STOVER. There are quite a number of people in the Clay Hill section who have made a thorough test of the value of stover as roughness for work stock and cattle and who have firmly made up their minds that they will never again harvest a crop of corn according to tedious and expensive methods employed up to two years ago. Mr. W. L. Plexico, of Clay Hill, is ' largely responsible for the revolution of harvesting methods that have taken place in his neighborhood. He bought a shredder with which to shred his own corn crop, neighbors called upon him for assistance in trying the experiment also, and as the result there will have to be quite a number of shredders in that neighborhood to accommodate the increasing demand for shredding. Speaking of the subject to the reporter last Saturday, Mr. Plexico said: "We have been making all the corn we needed at the mill, you know; but we did not have enough roughness to do us, so we bought a shredder by way of experiment. After shredding our own crop the first year we shredded for a number of neighbors, taking pay for our work partly in cash and partly in stover. We shredded for quite a number of farmers that year and so far as I know everybody was well pleased. I know we were, for we did not have to buy any roughness that year. The next year we shredded again for most of those we had worked for the previous year and also for a number of new customers. All the people who tried it the first year wanted to shred again | last year; but some were disappointed, because we were not able to reach them. Among our customers during the two years were the following: "J. B. Barron, J. M. Campbell, G. C. Ormand, W. R. Horton, G. R. Wallace, J. L. Stacy, W. J. Rodman, J. A. McFadden, J. H. Miller, W. M. Carothers, W. J. Neely, W. J. Anderson and I. J. Costner. As well as I recollect, we put the shredder down at each one of these places and at most places shredded a ? omftllai. omno that WPrP II11 III UCI UL Oiuauci ViV|/u kUMv ?. ?. W hauled in to us. "Some of my neighbors," continued Mr. Plexico, "look upon the new mode of harvesting as having an important advantage that has not yet been mentioned. They cut the corn when tht fodder is about ready to pull and haul it out of the bottoms at once, in this way escaping all danger from loss on account of high waters. Many a crop is lost, you know, even after the fodder has been pulled. "Messrs. W. J. Anderson and W. J. Neely got their crops saved in better condition than did any of the other farmers, probably. Both hauled up their corn immediately after cutting and shocked it well. Mr. Anderson says that he never expects to pull another bundle of fodder, and I believe that he will give you a testimonial to the effect that his stover is as good as any fodder to be found in the country? that stock like It equally as well." Mr. Plexico says he will continue to shred; he could not think of going back to the oldway . He does not think, however, that he will continue to operate a shredder for the public, as he is not as well prepared for the work as he ought to be, and he does not care to incur the expense that is necessary for proper preparation. local laconics.

Wlnthrop Scholarship.

Superintendent of I Education Carroll does not look for a t large number of competitions for the i scholarship; but he does not expect the ] prize to go begging. I Made It In a Day. ^ About 50 pigeons, belonging to one of the New Egypt, N. J., clubs, were released at Yorkville last Saturday morning by Mr. H. H. Beard, express agent at Yorkville. on Monday Mr. Beard ' received the following card from Mr. ' D. "W. Boussoun, of the club. It was dated New Egypt, July 6. 7.15 p. m.: "Only two birds arrived home today, 1 the first at 6 o'clock. 5 minutes and 36 seconds, p. m.. and the second at 6-32 14. They had a hard fly of It. The 1 weather here this morning was hot, the thermometer registering 94 degrees. There was a light west wind this afternoon, accompanied by thunder showers. At this writing we are having a hard rain storm." A Prolific Source of Glanders. Speaking of glanders the other day. Dr. Nesom said that the most prolific source of the dissemination of the disease in this country is the United States army. "Unscrupulous horse dealers," he remarked, "have little hesitation about unloading diseased horses on the army, and as it has not been the policy of the government to employ really competent veterinary surgeons, large numbers of horses are frequently exposed to the infection before its presence is detected. There were several outbreaks among army horses during the Spanish war; but, thanks to the conditions that had brought all classes of intelligent men into the army, these outbreaks were discovered before they had time to make much headway and were stamped out in their incipiency by the slaughter of all the diseased animals along with all that had been in contact with them. But of course the disease was not entirely eradicated and at the close of the war many glandered horses were sold at auction." ifiu rscnv '2 CillUliiail v. ? A You 11 k Man "Brnnic" Buck a Horie That "DroB" Him. Editor of The Enquirer: The headline that you placed over my last communication (A Lesson In English) must be credited by your readers to your kindness, rather than to any merit in the article. I heartily approve, however, of the sub-heading. Its reference to "missionary work" for our teachers was quite appropriate. In proof thereof, let me say that the ink was hardly dry on that communication before I overheard a young man telling, at the intersection of Congress and Liberty streets, that he had been thrown from a buggy by a horse, which "drug" him so manv yards. When asked if the horse had gotten away he replied in the negative, and proceeded to say that he had "brung" the horse back to the stable. I am sorry to have to confess that that young man was born, was reared, and was educated, in Yorkville. I do not know that these lines can accomplish any good, for I doubt not that some people will say die-reet (for direct) until they?die. It is to be hfintxi however, that the "not will not continue to laugh at the kettle." Possibly that young lady who lives "up street" will laugh at the young man who was "drug," and who "brung" the horse back to the stable, but is quite unconscious that, in answer to an inqui-ry she told the? in-qui-rer that the house of Mr. Thomas was the first house "arftev" passing the house of Mr. Dickson?the house, she sweetly said, with a "cupe-l-low" to it! And when asked why she had done a certain thing, replied that she had no "olternative." (I wonder if some pot is not laughing at the kettle!) The teachers have come and gone. I trust that all of them will come again next year, and that the number in attendance on the summer school '** % 1 * ?? ? ? ? J VT7* nU AIT 1 /I will De largely increased, yyc suuuiu welcome them among us. Oases In the lives of any of us are not over-plentiful. With Just a little effort on our part, we could make these "school days" of the teachers happy days to think about as they return with lighter hearts to take up again the tasks that are theirs in the school-room where yet younger hearts are to be equipped for the battles of life. I shall endeavor, Mr. Editor, to make a note-book of my mental tablet, and may again send a few lines. I hope, however, that I may not have to chronicle "drug" and "brung" any more! York.

For a quarter of a century he was proof against the blandishments of editors; but within a few weeks he has completed a new series of humorous stories which show him at his best. Tales of Old Turley, which will appear in early numbers of The Saturday Evening Post, are wonderfully droll stories of the quaint characters in ail old-fashioned country town before the war. Local politics, schools committees fights, church squabbles and woman'! clubs lend themselves admirably tr, Max Adeler's humorous touch, and form the basis of some of the cleverest stories that have been written for many a day. yilYMENEAL.

THE HOOSIER GRAIN DRILL. WE take this method of Informing the citizens of York county, that we are the sole agents for the sale of the HOOSIER DISC GRAIN DRILL In York county, and will have a CARLOAD IN STOCK In a few days. As the season Is on for the sowing of peas, and peas so scarce, it would be economy to put them In with a drill, and the HOOSIER DRILL will put them In right, and with a little acid will likely give better results. Remember that in operating the HOOSIER DISC DRILL that it is not necessary to stop the Drill to change the quantity of grain or fertilizer. The arrangement is so easy and simple that any 15-year-old boy can operate the Implement with ease. We sold several HOOSIER DRILLS last season, and svery one has given entire satisfaction. One party says he drilled in for himself and neighbors something over TWO HUNDRED ACRES, and his drill is as good apparently as when he bought it. Any one thinking of buying a Drill would do well to examine the HOOSIER DISC DRILL before buying. YORK IMPLEMENT CO.

There is no store in Tork county that carries as large a stock of Millinery, Clothing, Shoes, Dress Goods, Hats, Dress Trimmings, Groceries, etc., that has as little expense as we do.
