Special to The Observer. Yorkville, & C, Jan. 12. Now that (he holidays are over and the people have once more resumed ttie even tenor of their way, conditions fiUve every appearance of being normal. The merchants throughout this sec tion seem to be doing: about as large a volume of business as usual at this season of the year. The well-knwn weakness of the purchasing public for "bargains" has resulted in many cf the merchants' offering their stocks of dry goods, clothing, etc., at "slaughter prices" and as a re sult thousands of dollars worth of - these commodities have been pur chased by the publlo within the past sixty days. In anticipation of an un- . usually large demand many of the merchants bought more heavily leal fall than usual and owing to the "panic" and the consequent failure . of cotton to reach the price expected ly the farmers, trade did not come tip to extfeCtnttonsT bur was about normal. The "bargain sales" have been resorted to to get rid of the surplus. It is said that a very largo sum in . the aggregate Is still du !he lank, merchants, merchants, terminer and stock dealers by the farmers on ac count of indebtedness contracted last year. , The debtors are being al lowed to hold their cotton eltncr by consent or sufferance. In many in stances the cotton is stored in bonded warehouses and tho certifi cates for same are In the hands Of the creditors. All creditors have been very lenient so far, but natural ly there is a limit, as before muny weeks arrangements must be per fected for credit for the present year, and before doing ho debtors will moitt likely be forced to liquidate in order- that creditors maji be in position to carry out their end of the new contracts. ... TO GO UP OM FERTILIZERS. . For a number of years it has r-ten the custom of many of the fertilizer dealers in this section to sell to their customers at an estimated profit of from 25 cents to $1 a ton, and often on time at that. Borne of the older nd larger dealers have recently an nounced their determination to quit that kind of foolishness and sell for a reasonable profit or else let the "other fellow" have the business. me dealer Duya irom me , manu facturer and must pay for every sack ordered oat, thus making that Indi vidual sare ana sure oi it pruiu, imo tie, the dealer, has been selling with out a legitimate profit and besides running the risk of serious loss. The 'usual talk on the part of the far mers that they are either going to cut out fertilizers or use less than ever before is not being heard so far this season. It is estimated that during the past year about 40,000 bales of .cotton were produced on Tork county farms and that about half of the amount is still in the hands of or under he control of the producers, and If this : be true it is more than likely that at least 11.000,000 Is yet to be brought into the county during the next six or eight months. Owing to the fact that there has been more rain during the past sixty days than In a similar period In sev eral vears. It la safn to say that the public roads have never been In worse shape than at present, and as a result there Is as much or more talk on the subject of good roads than ever. before. There ran be no doubt of the fact that the present uncomfortable, as well as disgrace ful, conditions must be remedied and that the only remedy Is for the tsxpayers, the people most vitally Interested, to go down In their Jeans for the necessary funds. It Is safe to say that mere' the proposition as to whether or not $500,000 worth of road Improvement bonds should bo Issued to be voted on by tho tax payers during the next thirty days it would carry by a safe majority. The people seem to fully realize lhat the Issuance of bonds Is the only means through which people now living will ever see any considerable mileage of good roads. GOVERNOR ANSKL'8 ADMINIS TRATION PLEASliS. It Is almost universally conceded In this section that tiovernor Ansel has come nearer ' making an Ideal Governor than any man who has oc cupied the position since the war. Many people claim that there is a Ftrlklng similarity between his ad ministration and thut of fjovernor - Hughes, of New York Tho people who think and who hnve long felt humiliated over thw euso, with which criminals secured pardons during many of the previous- administra tions, are efpeclully plcuaed with the dlsposl'ion that Governor Ansel has rhown not to Interfere with sen tences imposed en criminals by the courts, even where requested to do so by the trial Judge, the solicitor . and the Jury as well as numerous "prominent cltlsen." There have fceen very few ground for criticism. Above all he has shown no symp toms of being a demagogue. Although every public office in the county except probate Judge is to be filled at the primary next sum mer, the people have not commenced to take notice to any marked extent s et. It Is safe to say, however, . that In due time matters political will liven up and that none of the I positions will go begging. i There la a ruranr afloat to the I effect that the Southern Railway Is considering the matter of dis continuing Nos. 3S and It that make a round trip daCy between Kock 1 Hill and Marlon, S. C. In view of! the fact that thee trains afford con-! venlent and quick connections with j the main line, at Hlaiksburg, Ilork j 31111 and Marion and seem to be doing equally as much buflnea as I cither of the other trains now being) operated, it Is to be hoped thst the! management is either not considering i their discontinuance or If it is It will Jeide to allow them to remain.

MOKE Oily MILLS, At present there are onlr two eot- Hon seed oil mills In this county, one i' r , r . i ' . i ivw: n. mil una anoiner hi- mis place. It is reported that during: the present year mills will very likely be built at Clover, Guthrlesvtlle and Hickory Grove.- Large quantities of seed are ' annually sold .. at and shipped from each of these points and the business Interests at each of them are . figuring: that it would be much more profitable to ship oil, meal and seed than seed alone. It is also said that during: the present year bonded ' cotton ' warehouses will be erected at - Hickory Grove and Clover In. fact, there Is practically no doubt about Clover, as men there who act after very little talking- have already decided that one shall be built. ' For many years previous to the building of the old Three C's Rail road there was a store, a postotfica and several residences where the flourishing- little town of Hickory Grove now stands. The postofflce. was called-Hickory Grove, and when the railroad was completed there that-continued to be Its name until along about 1900, when Ah JLhen Postmaster General, or an assistant, because of his mania fpr shortening names, regardless of fitness, arbi trarily ordered the dropping of the word "Grove" from the name of the postofflce. As a result no end of confusion was created by causing mall and freight Intended for the South Carolina Hickory to go to the town of the same- name in North Carolina and mall and freight for the latter to' come to the South Carolina Hickory,-and da-llpl never became reconciled to tne cnange. Recently a petition was sent to the Postofflce Department praying that the word "Grove" be restored. ' The petition was heartily endorsed, by Congressman Flnley. and was granted and became effective January 1st. so the name is once more Hickory Grove. County Treasurer Neely report that the total collection of taxes up to December 81st amounted to about $80,000, slightly less than the amount collected up to the same date last vear. The total charge against the treasurer is about 1123, 000. DIVIDED AS TO LIEN LAVE. There seems to' be considerable difference of opinion among me while farmers of this county as to whether tor not the best interests of the State demands the repeal of the lien taw. and while It Is a Tact mat the York County Farmers' Union at Its monthly meeting ncre last Mon day adopted a resolution advocating the repeal of tne law, i uy means certain mat me rBinuuu represents the sentiment of the rank and file of the order, or the thousands of farmers who are not members. It Is freely predicted by thoughtful men of all classes and occupations that in case the Legis lature at Its approaching session re- neala the law and proviaes inai the repeal shall not become effective until January 1st. iu, mo Hrm. Legislature will be forced to re enact the law. It is generally con ceded that the repeal of the law will enable landowners to control colored labor that that may remain In the State and that thousands of poor white farmers now working rented land, and many who own their little farms, will be forced to abandon their present occupations and go to the cotton mlllft r Hov to Cure Chilblains.
