It is expected that all German
prisoners of war will be on their way
home within a few days. The Germans
held prisoner by France 'will be turned
over to the German authorities at Cologne,
Mayence and Coglenz. Those
held in England will be sent by way
of Holland or direct by steamer to
Germany. It is said that 20.000 Gero

? Already possessed of the greatest
single stock of gold in history, the
United States could, lay claim today
to most of the remaining free gold of
the world in payment of its favorable
merchandise balance, the federal reserve
bulletin says in its July issue.
The balance approximated $9,000,000,000
in the last three years and
bids fair to continue at the same rate
this year, affording a problem to arrange
payments without bankrupting
debtor nations and still further enhancing
the cost of living here through
the importation of more metal.
? If a bill which has just been introduced
in congress by Senator Park
Trammell of Florida is passed there
will be a big increase in bonus money
going to soldiers in the recent war.
Sentor Trammell is the author of the
measure which allows soldiers a bonus
of $60. However, he does not believe
this is enough and will endeavor to
have both houses of congress increase
this amount so that the following will
hereafter be paid: $30 for three and
not exceeding four months' service,
$60 for four and not exceeding five
months' service, $90 for five and not
ovpooHlnff rIv months' service. $120 for
six and not exceeding seven months'
service, $150 for each serving over
seven months.
Inquires have been received at
Coblenz army headquarters in regard
to the question o fthe association
of soldiers with civilians. These have
come in such numbers during the last
few days that Lieut. Gen. Hunter Liggett
has issued a bulletin pointing out
that the United States is still technically
at war with Germany. A large
number of these inquiries have asked
regarding marriage between American
soldiers and German girls and were
partly responsible for the bulletin. The
bulletin says: "In order to prevent
any possiblity of misunderstanding the
army commander invites attention to
the fact that "the signing by the associated
powers and Germany will not
terminate at once the present occupation
of the legal state of war existing
between the United States and Germany.
Not until said treaty is ratified
by the United States senate will war
between the United States and Germany
be legally concluded, and not until
there is an actual evacuation of the
American occupied area by the United
States troops will control over this
area be ended. All proclamations and
orders heretofore issued, or that may
hereafter be issued, civilians will accordingly
remain in force and effect
until the actual evacuation by the United
States army of zone now occupied."
Jack Dempsey knocked out Jess
Willard in the third round in the fight
for big prize money and the heavyweight
championship of the world at
Toledo, Ohio, last Friday afternoon.
Jess Willard is 37 years old and has
been the heavyweight champion since
1915, when he knocked out Jack Johnson
in the great battle in Cuba. Jack
T\amnonv rxra a hnm in S< L&kfi CitV
Utah, on June 24, 1895, and is therefore
24 years old. He has been following
the fighting game for three years.
There was preparation at Toledo for
80,000; but there were only 45,000
present, including 500 women. Up to
a few days before the battle the betting
odds favored Willard; but they
declined steadily until it became difficult
to place bets at even figures.
There were millions on the fight, but
the volume of betting was less than
was expected. The fight proved the
greatest disappointment in the history
of the prize ring. In less than a minute
after it commenced, it developed
that Dempsey could hit Willard whenever
and wherever he chose and Willard
was knocked down five times in
the first round. Willard's face was
beaten into a pulp. One eye was
closed and six teeth were knocked out
He was fearfully punished- After the
third round Willard's seconds threw
their towels in the ring as a token of
giving it up. After the fight Willard
gave out a statement in which he said
that Dempsey was the best man he
had ever met in the ring. The prize
ring followers were generally disappointed
in that the contest failed to
give them the entertainment they had
expected
Members of the senate and house
have returned to Washington preparatory
to the reconvening today of congress
after a week's Fourth of July recess.
The appearance of President
Wilson before the senate Thursday, at
* " * * * * hat KAHV
which time ne win iaj uciuic mm. j
the terms of the German peace treaty
and the Franco-American agreementand
consideration by the house of war
time prohibition enforcement legislation
are expected to outrank anything
else before congress within the next
fortnight. The address to be made by
the president in presenting the treaty
is waited with great interest by both
advocates and opponents of the league
of nations covenant. The treaty as
well as the Franco-American agreement
probably will be referred immediately
to the foreign relations committee.
No plan for consideration of
the treaty has been announced by the
committee, but the committee probably
will make an exhaustive study of the
document and various related subjects.
It has been intimated that the committeo
would hold hearings. Some
senate leaders have expressed the belief
that President Wilson might appear
before the committee, or an executive
session of the senate to explain
various partions of the treaty and
league covenant. The house is expected
to take up legislation to arm
the government in its enforcement of
war time prohibition immediately on
convening Tuesday. The judiciary committee,
which recently reported to the
house a bill in three parts, providing
for enforcement of both war time and
constitutional prohibition and regulat
mg me manuiaciure 01 aieunui 101
commercial purposes, may hold a meeting
tomorrow, depending on the number
of its members present. Strong
sentiment exists for prompt enactment
of war time enforcement measure but
whether the measure will be Part 1
of the bill already reported or an entirely
new bill has not been decided.
Investigation of expenditures of the
war department during the war will
be resumed tomorrow by the special
committee conducting the inquiry.
The R-34, the British super-dirigible,
landed at Roosevelt flying field last
Sunday morning at 9.54 o'clock, in
completion of the first successful trip
acrosi- the ocean by a lighter than air
machine. The trip was accomplished
in 108 hours and 1-2 minute, and covered
3.S00 land miles. The voyage was
not as smooth and uneventful as was
expected. The big ship ran into fogs,
wind and thunder storms off Newfoundland
and had a terrible struggle
to hold her own. At times it looked as
if it would be necessary to descend to
the sea, and on that account, Major
Scott, the commander, wired for help.
A number of United States warships
were sent up to the Bay of Fundy to
be of such service as might be possible.
The R-34 continued to battle, however,
and decided that it could make Boston.
Arrangements were made for a
landing at Montauk Point. Then later
it was decided that Roosevelt field
could be reached and that was done.
Some of the facilities that had been assembled
at Roosevelt field were transferred
to Montauk Point, in the emergency.
When the big airship found
that it could make Roosevelt field, the
facilities that had been sent away were
ordered back. The big airship flew
over Roosevelt field in circles while
things were being gotten in readiness,
and the soldiers and sailors who had
been sent to Montauk Point to assist in
the landing were being rushed back in
motor trucks While this circling was
going on Major Pritchard came down
in a parachute, and made a successful
landing. Hundreds of soldiers and |
sailors manned the guide ropes as the
big ship came down and the landing
was entirely successful. Major Scott,
commander, was the first man to step
ashore from the big ship. He looked
worn and haggard on account of loss
of sleep and anxiety; but he greeted
General Lionel E. O. Charlton, the
British air attache in the United
States, who was waiting to receive him,
as quietly and easily as If it were a
mere matter of good morning. Lieutenant
ommander Zachery Landsdowne,
the American observer, was as
much fagged out as was Major Scott,
whom he had been assisting- The 23
men of the crew also showed the effects
of anxiety and exertion. The airship
had left only enough fuel for an
hour and a half longer. The voyage
had lasted a full thousand miles more
than had been anticipated. There was,
plenty of food and water for everybody.
It is planned to begin the return
trip today.

Entered at the Postoffice at Tork as
Mail Matter of the Second Class.
TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1919.
Here is the hope that the senate will
at once ratify the treaty league of nations
and also that we may all get
down to business.
Although the attitude of the Allies
in forcing the kaiser to trial may be
without precedent, the attitude of the
kaiser to the proposition is entirely familiar
The governor of the Mexican state of
Sonora, recognizes that traffic in intoxicating
liquors across the border might
eventually bring on a war between the
United States and Mexico, and as a
precaution has signed a decree under
which all Mexicans caught in smuggling
of liquor from Mexico will be
summarily snot.
The pension list is like it ought to be
now. There is no discrimination. All
of the old fellows who served their
state in the sixties, are recognized
without discrimination and that makes
the pension roll indeed a roll of honor.
To be sure the roll as it stood formerly
was no less honorable; but it was
Iaoo nrnrlitohln tn tho nf Smith
Carolina, because it failed to recognize
all who were entitled to recognition.
Congressman Stevenson managed to
get a good amendment into a bad piece
of house legislation a few days ago.
The house was bent on the passage of
an act allowing public municipal, public
service and other corporations to
exercise the right of eminent domain
through the United States district
court in the condemnation of water
rights, rights of way, etc., required by
such corporations. Such power is exceedingly
dangerous, to say the least
of it; but there was no way to prervent
its passage- Mr. Stevenson, however,
pointed out the hardship and injustice
of making the poor owner of a small
piece of property worth less than
$3,000, go to the district court to defend
his rights in property that he
might not desire to part with at all.
The house passed the pernicious act,
but it allowed the amendment that requires
cases involving damages of less
than $3,000 to be heard in the state
courts. The benefit is to allow the
neighbors and friends of the property
owner?the people who know whether
he is reasonable or only querreious, to
pass upon the question as to whether
his property shall be taken away from
him
The killing of Hendrix Rector was
on its face, probably the result of an
old feud between the two men. That
is the way a good many will size it up.
If the feud had not existed, the killing
would not have occurred. Behind It
all there is the hellish work of men
who are more tc blame than the man
who actually fired the shots. Rector
came to Greenville from back in the
mountains. He was a man of extraordinary
ability and a natural love of
politics. The situation as he found it
interested him mightijy. He pitched
in and got the best of it over the political
powers that were. They tried
every way known to their experience
and cunning to oust him; but failed.
Then they began with the art of the
devil himself to stir up envy and Jeal-I
ousy in the heart of the sheriff's old
deputy. That was easy for such men
as undertook the job, with such a subject
to work upon. Little flees and
even big bull dogs can be forced to an
attack with a 'sic 'em." Tell a half illiterate
mountaineer that he is afraid
of another fellow, All him with lies
about the other fellow things the other
fellow did do and didn't do, and the
work of the devil is well on- Of course
the people who were agging Gosnell on
Rector, cared nothing about Gosnell.
They understood very well that if one
should kill the other it would be a very
quick and easy riddance of both. Rector
understood all these things and
tried to order his affairs and conduct
in such a way as not to play into the
hands of his enemies E nd lose prestige
with his friends. But the work of the
foul fiends htis been successfully accomplished
and a good man's life Is the
forfeit.
Thermometer readings in five
cities Washington. Boston, Hartford,
Conn. Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa registered
100 degrees Friday and
weather bureau forecasters said the day
was one of the hottest Fourths of July
on record. The warm wave extending
over the east chiefly was remarkable
for the size of the areti covered. Taking
in everything from the Missippi
Valley east to the Atlantic coast. At
Chicago the official temperature was
96.
Disorders have been prevailing
throughout northern Italy during the
past week on account of lack of food.
In Florence on July 4. there was a general
sacking of food shops and several
people were killed in the rioting. In
Bologna all food was requisitioned by
the chamber of labor and put on sale
at reasonable prices. The city government
found it effective to standardize
the price to be paid for a meal at from
50 cents to $1, according to the class of
the restaurant. Thirty-one of the
principal merchants of Palermo were
arrested on the charge of being "starvers
of the people."
A big Handley-Page airplane that
had been sent from England to Newfoundland
to trv a triD back across the
Atlantic, on last Friday attempted instead
to reach America ahead of the
R-34. The machine made a good start
for New York and Atlantic City; but
after flying for thirteen hours developed
trouble in one of her four engines,
and had to come down. Reaching
Parrsburg, Canada, at 2 a. m., it cruised
around until daylight, and then
made for an open space on the ground,
that turned out to be a race track.
But nearing the ground it struck wires,
which damaged its undergear in such
manner that it was forced to run into
a tree. None of the airmen were seriously
hurt; but the machine was so
badly damaged that it was unabl to
proceed further.

A number of patrons of R. F. D.
Route No. 5, are getting an unfair deal
on the part of the postofflce department.
Some time ago a portion of the
route that had been established for
several years, was cut off in such a
way as to deprive several patrons of
the accommodations they had been
enjoying. Among the excuses given
was alleged bad roads and the alleged
fact that the route passed through private
premises- The road was promptly
repaired and it was shown that the
road to which objection-was offered,
was a public road. It was shown also
that the route ran through several
miles to serve as few a number of patrons
as that cut off. In fact it was
shown that the excuses offered were
. -
but of little consequence But still the
postofflce department refuses to undo
the injustice which evidently perpetrated
by a bad tempered route agent
in a fit of pique.

CHARGED WITH INSULT
Grady Canby, a white man about 24
years of age, who has been living at
the Lockmore Cotton Mill in Yorkville
for some time past, is in the
county jail charged with making improper
proposals to a young married
woman of the mill village, the wife ot
a well known operative of the Lockmore.
The alleged insult occurred last
Wednesday. Canby is alleged to have
gone to the home of the young woman
while the husband was away and to
have insulted her, the young woman
also claiming that he laid hold of her.
When the young husband was told
of the affair he immediately sianeu m
search of Canby and when Sheriff
Quinn arrived on the scene, was holding
Canby at bay under the point of
a revolver.
Following a preliminary before
Magistrate Comer, Canby was bound
over to answer the charge against
him at the next term of the court of
general sessions.
SHOOTING AT COLORED CHURCH
Fred Hardin, a young negro man
about 20 years of age, is in the county
jail charged with shooting another
young negro named Crosby, who now
lies in the Fennell Infirmary in Rock
Hill with nine perforations in his intestines,
with but Slight chances of
recovery.
The shooting occurred at Weeping
Mary church in the East View section
following services Sunday afternoon.
According to the statement of the
Hardin negro, another negro came up
to his buggy and deposited a pistol
therein, stating that he would return
for the weapon later. Crosby came up
to the buggy a short time afterward
and asked Hardin for a match. The
request was granted and when Crosby
had lighted his cigarette he noticed I
the nistol lying in the car. Picking it |
up, he began handling the weapon
and Hardin in a spirit of fun drew his
own weapon, a .32 calibre Iver Johnson.
The weapon was discharged, the
bullet striking Crosby in the stomach
and perforating his intestines.
Hardin told the sheriff that he was
unable to explain how he came to discharge
his weapon. He bore no ill
feeling toward Crosby, he said; but on
the other hand the men were good
friends.
Crosby was taken to Itock Hill Sunday
night where he was given medical
attention; but physicians hold out no
hope for his recovery. Hardin made
no attempt to get away after the
shooting: but surrendered to officers.
He lives on the Jesse Moore place
while the wounded man lived on the
I^ee Patterson place.
The negro whose pistol Hardin
claims was placed in his car and
whir>h the Crosby negro was examin
ing: denies having a pistol or placing
it in the machine, according to Sheriff
Quinn

ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITS.
One of the most attractive features
of Yorkville's Independence day celebration
to the general public perhaps
were the exhibits of local business
houses on display in the building opposite
the postofflce which is to be occupied
within the next few days by
the Hart Grocery Company, successors
to the Mackorell-Hart Company.
Floor space of the building was occupied
by most interesting exhibits partitioned
off into booths most artistically
decorated in holiday colors and presided
over by members of the various firms
represented. Had the building been
larger there would have been more
exhibits. As it was, however, the
building was the largest to be^found
which was suitable for the purpose.
Hundreds of people dropped in during
the day to take a look at various articles
on display and representatives of
the various interests were convinced
that the exhibit hall had proved quite
a good advertisement for their respective
businesses.
F. C. Kiddle, local representative of
the Delco Farm Lighting Plant which
is manufactured in Dayton, O., had
one of his machines on display In an
attractive booth and the work of the
engine was watched with interest by
many people, including numerous
farmers for whose special benefit it is
manufactured. The electrical lighting
plant affords all the advantages of
electric lighting systems of the towns
and cities and is proving quite popular
in the country. It serves not only as a
light plant but a water pump as well
and through its use the resident of
tho rural community may have all the
advantages of the town or city. nr.
Riddle's exhibit included various attachments
tending to show that the rural
housewife could have her electric
iron, churn, fan and other conveniences
through tho Delco.
The York Furniture and Hardware
Company showed a most interesting
display of funiture and other household
furnishings, the exhibit being
under the direction of W. D. Thommasson
of that firm. The articles on
display including a kitchen cabinet, a
Majestic Range, New Perfection Oil
Stove, electric sewing machine and .a
handsome maple bed room suite.
The exhibit >f the Belk-Kirkpatrick
company, arranged in a most artistically
decorated booth proved very attractive
to men and women alike. Included
in the numerous articles on
display were numerous things for men,
women and children, portraying the
. J.. .1 ?11 fntvillv
iuicsl siyiL'a in ui vsa iui an wc ituunj.
The pretty gooth was the work of J.
M. Ramsey, manager of the store assisted
by employee*.
The York Hardware Company's
booth next to that of the Kirkpatrick
company was in charge of Manager J.
Robert Barnwell. On display were a
Caloric furnace, a Detroit Vapor stove,
a washing machine of the most modern
type and a well known make of
bicycle which the company sells.
Klutz & Smith, contractors and engineers
of Concord, N. C., who have
the contract for the street work in progress
in Yorkville showed specimens
of various kinds of road construction
and street paving. The exhibit was
housed in a very attractive booth, a
background of which was a number
of pictures showing road and street <
jobs that the contractors had completed
in other sections of the country.
On display were specimens of bithulithic.
asphalt, asphaltic and concrete,
Finley's penetration and surface methods,
willite and other well known types
of road contruction. Samples on display
also included lake asphalt and oil
asphalt. The exhibit also included
many samples of material used t>y
the contractors in the construction
of sand clay and top soil roads.
Of unusual interest to many spectators
were several demonstrations
given by Messrs. Klutz of the mixing
materials used in road construction.
The Carroll Supply Company, agents (
for the well known Essex automobiles ,
had one of the beautiful machines on
display and it drew the admiration of
many people. J
N'ext to their booth was the exhibit
of the Yorkville Motor Car Company
a Ford coupe and quite a complete line .
of Ford parts. The exhibit was In ,
charge of S. L. Courtnev, proprietor J
of the business and Miss Virgie Ferguson
of the office force.
At the right of the building near the
entrance was the exhibit of the Hart
Grocery company, most tastefully '
decorated and numerous groceries and 1
other edibles so well arranged as to 1
prove attractive.
In the Graded School building was i
staged a most interesting exhibit of 1
the Work of Home Demonstration i
clubs of York county under the direc- 1
tion of Misses Minnie Lee Garrison i
and Lillis Ashe, York county home '
demonstration agents assisted by Miss ]
Ruth Berry of Seneca district agents <
for the Home Demonstration work.
The exhibits included many kinds of 1
canned fruit nnd vegetables. 1

r Young people of Yorkvllle and a
number of their Invited friends from
other places enjoyed a dance Friday
evening. The hop was held in C. F.
Sherer's automobile show room, Mr.
Sherer having caused all his cars to be
removed from the building for the occasion.
The prize fight fans of Yorkvllle
and community have Mr. Willis G.
Howie, the efficient manager of the
Western Union, to thank for quick receipt
of the news of the Dempsey-Willard
battle last Friday. Mr. Howie
made arrangements by which the press
rate of The Enquirer was made available
to a pool of subscribers, raised the
necessary money among a dozen or
more people and the news was bulletined
at The Enquirer office very soon
after the result developed. The an
nouncement, however, that Pempsey
had knocked Willard out in the third
round left very little interest in further
proceedings.
The Fourth was a big day with the
local Masons and visitors from all
parts of the county. Their programme
included an initiation ceremony in Philanthropic
lodge room, conferring the
Master Mason's degree on three candidates.
Hon. S. T. Lanham, deputy
grand master of South Carolina, presided
and conferred the degree, being
assisted by O. Frank Hart, grand secretary;
Myron T. Sandifer, district deputy
grand master; C. K. Chreizberg,
and other visiting Masons. The lodge
room was crowded with more than 200
visiting and local Masons- A feature
of the evening was a banquet for the
visitors, which was served in the Nichols's
building on East Liberty street,
by the Ladies' society of the Baptist
church, some 225 plates being laid.
John R. Hart, Esq., toast master, called
on Hon. S T. Lanham, Col. W. W.
Lewis, Messrs. O. Frank Hart, George
S. Moore, S. Reid Spencer, W. B. Ardrey,
R. L. Vinson, W. T. Beamguard,
Geo. W Williams, and Hon. W. F.
Stevenson, all of whom responded with
short talks appropriate to the day and
the occasion.
In a talk at Masonic banquet last
Friday night, Congressman Stevenson
told how the status of the public building
appropriation for Yorkville was
about the same as that for Rock Hill
Both appropriations are in the omnibus
public building bill, and as to how
far they will get will probably depend
upon the intelligence and energybrought
to bear behind him. He did
not exactly say it; but from what he
did say, he left his hearers to reason
that unless they Interest themselves
they need not expect congress to be
very much interested. The committee
in charge of this bill should be furnish
ed with Information as to the size and
progress of the town. It should havt>
information as to the postal receipts,
banking resources, and other such information.
All this information backed
by strong petitions from a unanimous
population will help do the work
quickly. But so long as the people
wait congress will probably wait also.
In this connection too, he stated, that
with a little effort the town could get
city delivery instead of village delivery,
bringing an increase in the "payroll,"
in which everybody is or ought
to be interested.
There is to be a meeting in the
courthouse tonight for the purpose of
putting the new cotton mill proposition
in more definitely organized shape. Information
from W Mason McConnell,
Mr. E. A. Hall and other promoters of
the enterprise is to the effect that the
success of the undertaking is an assured
fact Mr. Hall, who as previously
explained, was unaware of the movement
until it was well underway, is
now one of its most enthusiastic promoters.
He is willing to put everything
he has into it and then some, and
many people that he did not even know
previously, have assured him of strong
financial support. He said Friday afternoon
that^he had taken steps to see
what could be done about securing
help from the north, and he hoped to
have information in time for the meeting
tonight; but northern help or no
northern help, he understands that the
temper of the people here is to go on
with it. Mr- McConnell said Saturday
night that in addition to the subscriptions
he had secured by solicitation, a
number of subscribers had come to
him with voluntary offers of from $100
to $1,000. A number of people who
put down their names without designating
the amounts they would subscribe,
said they would certainly go not
less than $5,000 each, and some of
them promised to go $10,000, or more
if necessary. The evidences of confidence
and enthusiasm behind the
whole proposition are unusually strong
and the interest that will develop at
the meeting tonight is expected to De
most interesting. The larger the turnout
at this meeting the more pleased
will be the promoters.
SIDELIGHTS OF THE FOURTH
That York county will probably take
a decidedly increased interest in the
subject of good roads as a result of the
Independence Day celebration in York ville
Friday, was the opinion expressed
by numerous thoughtful citizens who
were in town Saturday. Both Governor
Cooper and Congressman Stevenson
presented powerful arguments for the
cause of good roads and there was
hardly a person in the large audience
who heard them who was not convinced
of the wisdom of building good
roads from every standpoint, following
their addresses. The matter of good
roads for York was the principal subject
of discussion among the more
thoughtful throughout the day.

In the course of his address Friday

the fact that a good road from Chester
to King's Mountain through the Bethany
country, would divert travel from
the low country to the mountains
through this section, Congressman
Stevenson >said: "They tell mo that
some folks in the Battleground section
occasionally make a little moonshine
licjuor and that reminds me of a story
told me by a Federal Judge at Salisbury
a few years ago: A mountaineer
by the name of Joshua Hinton had
been convicted before this Ju4ge of illicit
distilling. 'Your name is Joshua
Hinton,' said the Judge, expecting to
have a little fun at the expense of the
moonshiner.
" 'That is my name , sir,' replied
Joshua.
" 'And are you that Joshua who
made the sun stand still?" inquired
the Judge"
'No, sir,' replied Joshua, 'I am
the Joshua who made the moonshine
'"
Demand for Cold Drinks.
More than 200 gallons of ice cream
and.hundreds of bottles of soft drinks
were sold by Yorkville dealers to members
of the great crowd in attendance
upon the celebration Friday. The York
Drug Store sold 115 gallons of ice
cream, the Sheider-Snelling Drug company
sold an Immense quantity and
other stands conducted during the day

lay afternoon on the C & N.-W. for i
Columbia. It had been his original in- i
ention to stay over for the Masonic i
did a rushing business. The town fountain
on the courthouse square was kept
bu?y all day long. It was some hot
day. Incidentally, it is of interest to
note that Uncle Sam is somewhat better
off as a result of Yorkville's big
day through the revenue he will derive
from the sale of soft drinks. Had he
secured a tax on all the water drunk
from the town fountain he would surely
have made a killing.
Good Order Maintained.
Good order was maintained by the
vast throng throughout the day. Mayor
Johnson appointed several extra policemen
to help the regular force keep
things straight; but about all they had
to do was to direct automobile traffic,
which was a constant stream during
the day. There was a little moonshine
iquor, paw-paw and other rot-gut stuff
In evidence among some of the members
of the crowd; but they handled it
pretty well and there was no indication
of boisterousness.
"It was one of the best natured, best
behaved crowds I ever saw in Yorkville,"
said Chief of Police P. \V. Love.
And the chief's recollection extends
over a good many years.

banquet Friday night, he being a past 1
grand master of the grand lodge, u
Shortly after he completed his address d
he received a telegram Informing him
of the killing of Sheriff Hendrlx Rec- \
tor In Greenville and stating that there i
was a possibility of trouble there. He s
deemed It best to return to the state q
capital In case of an emergency. While a
in Yorkvllle he was the guest of Col. i]
John R. Hart. He shook hands with c
scores of his friends and admirers dur- r
ing the day and he told an Enquirer r
reporter before his departure that he f

and he believed that the Independence t
Day celebration would result in great c
good to the town and county. ^
Basket Picnic. t
Many visitors to Yorkvllle brought n
dinner with them and after the speax- v
ing had been concluded and in some r
Instances even before, shady nooks in ^
the vicinity of the Graded school were 1
dotted with people enjoying picnic din- ?
ners. There was an abundance of f
tried chicken and other good things
and plenty to eat for all. Not only r
were the Graded school grounds the t
scene of basket dinner parties, but o
other sections of the town held theirs 3
as well. (
Two Baseball Games Played
More than a thousand people saw the c
double-header baseball game which j
was played on the Graded school ji
lot Friday afternoon. The first game f
of the afternoon was between teams of ^
Clover and Yorkville, the former nine 0
winning by a score of 16 to 8. The sec- a
ond game was between teams from r
Clover and Rock Hill, the lads from ?
the eastern metropolis winning by a
score of 2 to 1. i
Everything Smooth. a
"Everything went along smoothly r
enough," said Mayor Johnson, in talk- 1
ing after it was over. "There was some ?
little delay in the programme due to v
the fact that the band was rather late c
in getting here and other little delays; r
but taken altogether the prepared r
plans were carried out nicely. The t
events of the day were a great boost c
for road building in York county, and r
besides what pleased me almost as r
much was that everybody seemed to ?
have a good time ana morougniy en
joyed themselves."
How Many Automobiles?
How many automobiles were in t
Yorkville for the day would be diffl- t
cult to say. Nobody could count them
because of the fact that they were
scattered all over the town. Long lines
of them were parked along the priiici- 1
pal streets of the town and everywhere.
The number was not very far
from 600 anyhow. It is not uninter- '
esting to note that the great majority t
of them were Fords. Lots of folks t
used the now almost obsolete method /
of a wagon and couple of shafts to
bring the folks to town and after night- I
fall when things had quieted down I
somewhat the rumble of the wheels -j
over the hills carrying the folks back
home could be heard. ^
Sold a Lot of Bunting
Local houses which had the articles 3
for sale, did a rushing business in sell- ?
ing bunting, flags and other parapher- ^
nalla used in decorations just before *
I the big day. Most of the houses in *
town were decorated in some manner c
Ion account of the Fourth; the stores 1
and other business houses were all ?
dolled up. Even the old eagle that has 1
been suspended by a wire from the t
" nt"" Iti tVio husinpss office of The
Yorkville Enquirer since the memory
of the reporter runneth not to the con- ?
trary, was given an extra dusting, and "
he looked like a real American bird of
the most famous type, as he held a
couple of American, hags in his wicked .
talons. ^
Many from Out of the County. E
The visitors of the day Included C
many .from eastern York county and f
quite -a number of people from out of e
the county. There was nothing dcing ,
in Rock Hill, Chester or Oastonia in
the way of a Fourth of July celebration.
Neither was there any public o
celebration in any of the other towns b
around, so many of the folks from b
those climes came to Yorkville to en- 1'
Joy the day. And everybody went a
home saying that "Old Yorkville al- 8
ways did do herself proud when she n
decided to have a big day." f

j
HERE AND THERE J
Mr. John M. Williford of Lesslie and r
until recently a resident 'of Yorkville
was among the visitors in Yorkville
July 4. Mr. Williford said that the b
crops in the Lesslie section were look- a
ing pretty well and the outlook for a f
prosperous year was encouraging. He o
returned to his home in Lesslie on c
Saturday. C
___ C
Saturday in lorKviue was iamci ?j
quiet after the big Fourth of July cele- -j
bration the previous day. There were j
very few people from out of town <j
around, most folks who came to town ^
the day before deeming it to their best j,
interests to put in Saturday at work on
the crops. Local merchants and other j
business people were not sorry and q
| neither were they disappointed, being ^
quite tired and very well satisfied with q
the business of the previous day. j
The number of prisoners on the \
county chaingang at the present time j
is the smallest in many years. 'There s;
are now about twenty prisoners on t<
the county chain gang and while the
number may possibly be increased as
la result of the next term of the court
of general sessions, there will not be
a great many additions if any. The
chaingang is now working the Cherry G

"Woodrow Wilson," a handsome .
white collie dog, the property of Paul G
N. Moore of Yorkville, attracted con- ,,
siderable attention as he appeared in d
the Fourth of July parade Friday. On jj
a board placed on the hood of Mr.
Moore's automobile which was one of ^
the long line of cars in the parade, ~
stood Woodrow, as calm and immov- p
able as his famous namesake. The h
handsome dog kept his perch throughout
the long line of n^arch, never budging
and apparently enjoying the oc- .
casion as much as anybody else lf
According to F. E. Clinton, deputy (i
clerk of court the past six months has c
been the busiest period that the office Si
has experienced in many years. Mr. y
Clinton said Monday that 620 deeds g
had been transferred on the records c
of the clerk's office in the period from a
January 1, to July 1, and that in al- c
most every instance a mortgage was s:
recorded in connection with the trans- j
fer of deeds. Unusual activities in ti
real estate in every section of York n
county is responsible for the mass of tl
work which the forces in the clerk's t<
office has been called upon to perform, p
"I have many a time heard my g
father speak of that fight between the -A

Saturday Mr. Wikerson's father was V
the late C. E. Wilkerson, who lived ci
about two miles northwest of York- V
ville. His reference was to the lnci- ic
dent related in this column last Fri- P
day. "Yes, my father saw that fight," d
went on Mr. Wilkerson, "and he used b
to tell about it and laugh almost till w
the tears came in his eyes. He E
thought it was one of the funniest d
things he ever saw-" M

on July 4, visiting his kinsmen

and other York county relatives and
friends. It was Mr. McConnell's first C1
visit to Yorkville in nearly twenty years
and of course he noted many el
changes and improvements since his D
last visit. In the old days when The fl
Enquirer was set up by hand and .
printed pretty much the same way Mr. yy
McConnell was employed here as a cj
printer. Until his present visit he had
not been hack since he left the employ
of the paper. ^
Severn! hundred York county people
principally from the northern section
of the county went to Gastonia Sat- "
urday to attend the monster celebra- y.
tion there In honor of Gaston county's L
returned soldiers and sailors. It Is estimnted
that between 10,000 and 12,000
people attended the celebration, one of 0C
the main features of which was a U
parade in which more than 500 soldiers f>"
most of them members of the 30th, tr
18th and 42nd divisions took part. One to
of the main attractions of the day was in
an aeroplane flight by Lieut. Brandt, o'1
an army aviator who flew over the dt
city, doing various stunts to the won- to
der and amazement of the huge crowd, vi
'he celebration came to a close Satrday
night with a great pyrotechnic
isplay.
That the defeat of Champion Jess
Villard at the hands of little Jack
)empsey in the third round of the
cheduled twelve-round prize fight at
'oledo, July 4 was a surprise and disppointment
to most of the local boxng
enthusiasts was evident from their
ominent following the receipt of the
lews by The Enquirer Friday afterloon.
News of the result came In a
lash to The Enquirer about 5 o'clock
'Vday afternoon and a short time later
he details as to how It happened came
iver the wire. Most of the local fans
vera confident that big less would win
he bout easily; but there were quite
i few Dempsey backers around. There
vas little If any local betting on the
esult of the fight but there was conIderable
interest in the outcome, The
enquirer's bulletin board being surounded
by folks who were keen to
lear about it.
Apropos of a discussion of the prp>osition
of securing a fair compensaion
for disabled privates and officers
if the national army wounded or dieased
while in the military service,
Congressman Stevenson told the relorter
Friday evening that he had inroduced
a bill providing that the sum
if $50 per month shall be paid all enn
the military service and providing
Isted men permanently disabled while
urther that officers who are wholly
lisubled shall receive fifty per cent
f their regular compensation. Officers
nd men of the regular army establlshnent
receive this pay and Congressnan
Stevenson sees no reason why
irafted men and others who served
>ut who do not belong to the regular
irmy should not receive the same com>ensation.
He told of the case of a
leutenant-colonel now in Walter Reed
losnital who lost, a lee" ovprspns nnri
vhose rate of compensation on acount
of disability was fixed at >15 per
nonth. Yet a lieutenant colonel of the
egular army would receive many
imes that much. Mr. Stevenson's
:ompensation bill has not yet been
eported out of the house military comnlttee
and officers of the regular army
stablishment are making a strong
ight on it. But he proposes to keep
lammering until wounded men of the
egular army, the national guard and
he national army, are all placed on
he same footing so far as compensalon
for injuries is concerned.
LOCAL LACONICS
Will Be Tried in Chester.

pas arrested at Lockhart recently, for
he murder of Isaiah Jeter, some fifeen

Lnother Mill for Rock Hill.
Mr. C. L. Cobb and other interested
citizens of Rock Hill, have started a
movement for the building of another
otton mill in that city. Mr. Cobb, aftir
a visit to Yorkville on July 4, and
eeing what was doing here, wired Mr.
Alexander Long, then in New York,

nill. Mr. Long wired back telling Mr.
Jobb to go ahead, that he would stand
or half the money. Mr. Cobb and othrs
are "going ahead."
fork's Automobile Fees.

of $278,755.55 for the first six
aonths. York county's share for the
