Editor Grist Tells the New Eng landers That They Are Looking In the Wrong Direction for Their Greatest Opposition. Yorkvllle Enquirer, 6th. There Is a noticeable feeling of apprehension throughout the north east, especially up in New England, that the manufacturing and commer cial supremacy so long enjoyed by that section Is seriously threatened, and that the danger Is from the west. There Is no question of the fact that New England has been hav ing velvety times in manufacturing lines for several generations, and there is no question of the fact eith er, that (he west Is a great and growing (country; but while we have tremendous respect for the bus lness perspicacity of the New Eng landers, we are Inclined to think that they are a little in the dark Just -imw as to the quarter from which tnfey are most threatened, The great south has begun to feel her self again and It will not be a great while until she begins to make her self felt of others. This Is the com ing part of the country; and if our rrlends or New England ever lose their industrial supremacy, we are inclined to believe that It Is the anuth whifh will TlAXt. loom UD In the lead, Will Give Yorkville Best In Hla Shop Yorkville Enquirer, 6th. Manager Babington of the Pied mont Telephone Company, gays he is going to give Yorkville one of the most complete and thoroughly up to date telephone exchanges to be found In this country. The work of Improvement in telephones Is con stant. and the Piedmont Telephone Company has been getting lots of experience as it has been going a long. Yorkville Is to have abso lutely the best there Is, not only In the matter of central office equip ment; but In the matter of posts, cables, etc. "Some of you people,” Mr. Babington remarked, "are kind enough to say that the telephone system is good enough as It Is; but if I do not show you an Improve ment of something like 50 or 100 per cent, 1 will acknowledge that I 1o not know as much about the ■hone business as I think I'do.” —We understand that Claremont College, Hickory, Is preparing for a large opening this fall. Extensive Improvements are being made. The school has disposed of all the old furniture and placed new furniture in every room. A new heating sys ' tem Is niso being Installed.

Gast<*“ Folks Enjoy a Round of Pleasure—Three Sunday School i.-vMats. One Farmers Union Day “_Jkcpl(liers' Reunion and Three If thCfe is GMlMK^olk take stock in irMpsniy; witness the scofes of holiday occasions of this character which have'been held In the cjounty this summer. There are yet numbers of others to be held. TuesdaV there were two, Wednes nesday t^o and yesterday three. To day and ^o-morrow the River Bend rally con’inues in progress and there arejprobably others for to morrow 'ft which the reporter has failed to ^ear. The feature of the annual picnic of Mountaih Local No. 89 of the Farmers Union* held Tuesday at Mountain' school house, four miles south of town, consisted of address es to the farmers on topics of great Interest to them. President H. Q. Alexander of the State Farmers Un ion and Mr. J. Zeb Green, one of the association's organizers, were -the speakers. Dr. Alexander is a Meck lenburg man, a physician and a practical and successful farmer. Mr. Green Is editor of Our Homes at Marsville, Union county, and is also a practical farmer. Both made strong pleas for a united effort on the part of the farmers for an Im provement of sol] conditions and in methods of marketing farm pro ducts. Incidentally they urged ev ery farmer to become a member of the union. Both speeches were lis tened to throughout* with a real in terest by a large portion of the crowd, notwithstanding the fact that the day was one of the warmest of the summer. Music was furnished by the Far mer’s Union Band and a bountiful repast was spread under the shad< of the trees. While not as large as some other picnic crowds of the summer season, there were several hundred people present and every body seemed to have a good time. On the same day, Tuesday, th< Sunday school of the First Presby terian church went to High Shoals where the day was spent in riotous enjoyment by old and young. There were about 150 in the croWd which occupied three special cars on the northbound passenger train Tues day morning. Dr. C. E. Adams, the efficient superintendent, accompan ted the party as did also a number ot the teachers and officers and par ents of scholars. No accident oc curred to mar the pleasure of the day. There is perhaps no prettiei place for a picnic In the county than at High Shoals where boating and fishing are added to the ordinary opportunities for fun afforded by the average picnic ground.. For thli reason it is the mecca of many out ing panties every summer. Wednesday was the summer's big day at Union Presbyterian church, six and a half miles south of town. Here the members of this congrega tion and Sunday school and practice ally the entire community are won' to foregather ever vacation time, usually in August, and have a day of unalloyed pleasure. This year’s crowd was hardly as large as last year's but in capacity for enjoyment, in good fellowship and sociability it was equal to any crowd, The folks began to arrive early and remained late, so loath were they to see the day's end. Union Is an Ideal spot for occas ions of this kind. Surrounding the beautiful church—one of the hand somest, best arranged r.nd most comfortable country churches In the State, we wager—are large and well, shaded grounds affording comforta ble space for several thousand peo ple. At li o clock a brier religions service was conducted in the main auditorium of the church by the pastor, Rev. G. A. Sparrow. It con sisted of singing, prayer, the read ing of a lesson from the Scriptures and a short but interesting and in structive address by the pastor. Under the friendly oaks a sumpt uous dinner was spread on long Im provised tables. This over, the af ternoon was spent in conversation under the shade by the older folks and in various kinds of amusemen' by the younger ones. The ladles society of the church furnished ice cream, lemonade and other delicacies from an • attractive booth, the proceeds going to a fund they are raising with which to fur nish the ladies parlor. They realiz ed a neat sum for this purpose. Wednesday the Lutheran Sunday sohools of the county held their an nual picnic and rally at Chapel Luth eran church, two and a half miles east of town. Seven schools were represented and the attendance was about 1500. In addition to the pic nic dinner which was spread under (Continued on page 2) . - • • •’ - >• . ■ ... : FOR VISITING LADIES.
