From the Yorkville Enquirer.
While examining some old docu?
ments not long ago in a desk that
was formerly used by the late Capt.
L. M. Grist, a member of the Enquir?
er jLtaff came across some written
pages in the handwriting of that vet?
eran printer and publisher that con?
tain some facts that will prove of
some little interest to the younger
printers and publishers of this gen?
eration, and probably also to the his?
torians as well. The pages were writ?
ten July 31, 1899. and although net
intended for publication in the form
in which they ware found, their con?
tents are reproduced herewith sub?
stantially without change: "My
father was a printer. When he caus?
ed me to enter the printing oflice in
May, 1840, it was for the purpose of
commencing the publication of the
Yorkville .Compiler, a prospectus for
which hod been issued some time
previous. He had arranged to use a
press that had been brought to York
\Hie about 1822 for tue purpose of
printing the lectures of the Rev. Wm
C. Davis, a learned and able Presby?
terian minister. The press was known
us a 'Ramage,' and was similar in
style tp that used by Benjamin Frank
Urn in his day. The forms and type
were inked by What were techlncally
known as 'balls,' made of buckskin
bags stuffed with wool. They were
provided with wooden handles and
the ink was distributed hy rubbm?
the hulls together, and than pounding
them down lightly on the type.
A both a year after this we dispensed
with the balls and instaed use a roller
made by strentching a pice of wooller.
blanket over a cylinder and covering
it with buckskin. We first commenc?
ed to use a composition roller in
1843. When I went to the case in
1840 the only dairy papers printed in
the State were In Charleston. They
were the Charleston Courier, the
Cthraloston Mercury, tho Southern
Patriot and the Charleston Evening
Transcript tho Evening Transcript was
Issued from the office of the Southern
Patriot. The Courier and Mercury Is?
sued tri-week lies, making them up
form the first and fourth pages of two
dally issues and sending them out on
each alternato day. There was no
caption across the pages as at present
Besides the dallies there were in
Charleston tho following weeklies;
Southern Baptist, Catholic Missionary,
Southern Christian Advocate. In
Columbia there were three weeklies,
as follows: South Carolina Chronicie,
Temperance Advocate. There ware
three weekly papers In Edgefield
County, two at Hamburg and one at
Edgefield Court House There wer1*
the Edgefield Advertiser , Hamburg
Journal and the Hamburg Re?
publican. The Edgefield Advertiser
was publish od by W. F. Durlso. The
other papers in the State were: the
Mountaineer, of Greenville; the
Compiler, of Yorkville; the Journal,
of Camdcn; the' Messenger of Pendle
ton and the Gazette of Charter field. To
the best of my recollection there were
no others papers in the State. There
was nono in Chester, Winnsbcro, New
berry, Union, Spartanburg, Abbeville
Anderson, Sum tor, Orangeburg, Barn
well, Colleton , Lauren*, Horry or
Wllliamsburg. The Edgellcld Advcr
User and the Southern Christian Ad
vocntea are the only paperj
that have been )M*lnted con?
tinuously undtr the same
name. I remember the early num?
bers of all the other papers in the
State not mentioned above. The
Pioneer was the* first paper i ublished
In Yorkville. and the date of the first
Ijaufi was August 16. 1823. The first
Isana of th3 Yorkville Enquirer made
its appearance on January 4, 1855.

newspaper outside of Columbia and

OUR HANDS.
How They Are Differentiated by I lie
Things We l>o.
Though the human hand seems ts^?
be a falriy uniform structure, It really
she ws a differentiation as wide as
that of the feature of the face
It is a well known fact that the
character of an individual can In a
measure be read in his features, and i
a similar connection with character"
con be found In The form of the hand. -
The hand, however, ha* a closer con?
nection with actual occupation.
Whereas the influence of vocation
on the traits (apart from a natural
disposition for a certain traft that
may lead to its adption) is due main- ,
ly to a particular turn of mind con?
nected with and produced hy that vo*
cation, the influence exerted on the
shape of the hand is mainly of a physi?
cal nature. Th? continual repetition
"t the same kin 3 of manual work re?
sults in a permanent alteration e?f the
r-kin and muscles of the hand, as well
as a transformation of the hones
(atrophy or thickening of certain
rails), displacement of the joints, etc.,
for in repeating a given manipulation
over and over again, the palm and
the balls cf the thumb and little finger 1
are called upon continually to per?
form the same action, leading to a
permanent strain on and wear and
tear of given parts of the hand.
The most obvious alteration due
lo occunaiion are cbserved in the caso
of heavy manual laborers, who havel
coarse and clumsy hands with short,
thick and callous fingers, the bails of
the thumb and the little finger being
especially developed, and the sk*n be?
ing hcrny and covered with fissures.
While these properties generally are
especially striking in the right hand,I
it Is sometimes even more interesting
to fctudy the left hand of individulas, ?>
as f?>r instance in the case of a rmlth,
who by continually using this hand to
seize the heavy tongs, develops very
marked halls and projecting broaden?
ed finger tips. The thumb of his left
hand in fact is used continually In
pressing on the tcngs, and so becomes
especially strong. The right hand
vhi'Ws the markj of Its continual use
in handling the heavy hammer, while
the fingers assume a shortened, clum?
sy shape. Similar facts, though of a
less degree, are stated in the case of
locksmiths.?Scientific American
