pouBLErREE PROBLEM EXPLAINED

DOUBLE TREE PROBLEM EXPLAINED
which think will solve the question to
any intelligent mind
In both diagrams the solid lines show
The position Of the doubleiree when the
horses are working even. and both are
the same distance from the wagon
tongue, a center line Of draught.
Diagram shows a doubletree with
holes bored on a straight line. and the
dotted lines show the off horse TO be
ahead, and yet brings each horse the
same distance from the center line OF
draught, and therefore neither horse
has the advantage.
Diagram 2 shows a doubletree with
holes bored out OF line. "as they are
usually made" and the dotted lines
show the off horse to be ahead also, and
farther from the center line Of draurht
than the nigh horse, and therefore gives
the horse that is ahead the advantage.
Ny reason for saying that the horse
behind pulls the most is simply that the
holes in the doubletree are bored
out Of line, and anyone doubling this
can easily demonstrate it by placing
one end OF the doubletree ahead. and
measure from the clevice pin to the cen
ter line Of draught.
In making a doubletree. bore the
holes in straight line and have less
balky horses.-Farm, Field and Fire

A QUESTION SOLVED.
The Doubletree Problem E''p'"'"s"
by . Man Who Had Made u
= study.

Under the heading "A Question to he
Solved" a writer asks: When two
horses are pulling a load hitched on to
doubletree, as usually, with the bolt
in the very center and the doubletree can
move freely forth and back, and one
horse keeps his end foot ahead, which
horse pulls the most-the one ahead or
behind?
Ianswer the one behind when pulling
on doubletree the way they are usual
Iy made; but when the tree holes are
bored in perfect line" there can be
no difference.

THE GOVERNORS APPOINTMENTS
One of the reasons of Ellerbe's un'
popularity with politicians was brought
about by his independent course in
making appointments. The first o.
Importance was a United States sena'
tor. The governor believed that Jno
l.. McLaurin was we'll qualified fol
the place, and his record in the lower
house Of congre IS showed him to have
merited promotion without consulting
anyone; he appointed McLaurin and
the people endorsed that appointment
by electing McLaurin with overwhelm'
ing majority. But the appointment oI
McLaurin caused lots Of murmurings
among the politicians every fellow
who held big place imagined himself
the right man to fill the place made
vacant by the death of Earle, and
when McLaurin was selected there
was weeping and oaths recorded to
take Ellerbe's scalp. Then the gov.
ernor had another appointment to ill
the comptroller generals Office
made vacant by the resignation oi
General Norton again the politicians
perched themselves upon the political
fence with mouths wide open ready to
catch the crumb; but when the gov
ernor came along and went on up the
road to offer it to a man who was not
looking for the place, there was a
general Hopping Of wings and screech'
ing Manning Times.

Auditor Williams will be in Rock Hill

purpose of taking tax returns, and from
next Monday, the 7th instant. to the 10Th
instant, on which day the time in which
returns may be made will expire, he will
he in Yorkvilie.
Snow Last Sunday.
The first snow of the winteri in sufficient
quantity to admit Of the raking up OF a
SNOWFALL, fell last Sunday. The snow
continued to fall for several hours, and in
places covered the ground ; but by Mon
day afternoon it had almost all disap-
peared.
But Will Get Another.
Mr.. r. w. Speck, the jeweler, received
recently big thermometer with a grad
uated scale something like yard in
length. The spirit bulb, however, was
broken in transit, and it will be some
days yet before Mr.. Speck will be able to
regulate temperature as he now regulates
time.
Circumstances Were Suspicious.
The investigation of the supposed case
of infanticide near Tirzah, last FRIDAY,
by Coroner Brian and Il jury, developed
suspicious circumstances; but it was not
considered that the fact were sufficient to
warrant a charge of murder against the
mother, Emeline Bratton, colored.

Judge Simonton has filed another dis
pensary decision against the state. 1t
was in the case of the town of Elko.
Previous to the passage of the dispensary
law, Elko had the right to license the sale
of liquor and did SO. Upon the passage
of the dispensary law, the necessary re-
quirements for the establishment of dis
pensary were not complied with and no
dispensary was established. The legal
sale of liquor was, therefore, discontin-
ued. Bluenthal & Bickhart opened an
original package shop; but the governor
promptly had it closed OH the ground
that inasmuch as the state was not selling
liquor at that point, outsiders had no right
to do 50. Judge Simonton, in his decis-
ion, repeats what he has already held
that the dispensary law is not an exercise
of the police power; that prohibition does
not exist at Elko, and although the state
has not sought to sell liquor there, it re-
serves the right to do so, and that people
living outside of the state have right to
sell liquor in original packages wherever
the state has right to sell it. The de-
cision, therefore. is against the state and
i'm favor of Bluenthal Il Bickhart.

- The Atlanta Journal is quoting Geo.
P. Rowell Il Co. to prove that it has the
largest circulation of any newspaperpub-
lished in the south. A wonderful I'M
preston this statement is calculated to
make on the general public; but to peo-
pie who are familiar with the newspaper
business, it is ridiculous. And one of the
first questions that the general public
will be inclined to ask is, why is it that
Geo. p. Rowell IL Co. are so much better
authority on The Journals circulation
than is The journal itself? But that is
not the true inwardneSs Of the situation.
First-class newspapers know Geo. p.
Rowell & Co. and similar concerns, only
as big blackmailing agencies which make
business of swindling the newspapers
on the one hand and their customers ON
the other. AS a matter of fact, they are
agents OF neither the newspapers or the
advertiser; but simply INSCRIPTIONS
sharpers who live by their wits Take
the Rowell concern for instance. 1t is Of
ten quoted as The Journal has just done,
as an authority. Its method is to send
out circulars to the newspapers asking
for the facts as to their circulation. Some
times the newspapers answer and some
times they do not. The newspapers
which do not answer are usually govern
ed by their knowledge that no matter
what may be their circulation, its quota
ton in the directory will do them neither
good or harm while others who are with
out circulation or other merit, and with
nothing 10 swear by, send i'll their
figures to the advertising agency, so as to
have something to prove their statements
about circulation. But so far as Row
ell Il Co. are concerned, they care little
whether newspaper answers their ques-
tions or not. If the newspaper answers,
they quote the figures as given, and if it
does not answer, they fill in the blanks to
suit their own notions generally, how
ever, taking care to put the figures lower
than they ought to be in the hope of COM
pelling more consideration next time.
Then during the year Rowell IL Co. pub
liSh weekly journal called Printers
Ink. 1t is filled with advertisements,
some genuine and others bogus, or at
least of highly responsible newspapers
which have not authorized such adver-
tiscments. The idea is to catch the little
fellows who can be induced to bite be-
cause the big ones are supposed to have
bitten. Then again, the - issues OF Prin-
ters' Ink are so managed during the year
that i'm one or the other of the issues,
each paper in given territory will be
made to appear to have larger clrcula-
ton than any other paper i'll that territo-
ry, and during the year each and every

- Inc D1ll 10 place teleSTdph anu VA
press companies under the jurisdiction OF
the railroad commission, and which has
passed the house, was expected to come
up in the senate yesterday. Whether it
has vet been disposed of THE ENQUIRER
has not learned. This bill had its origin
in this section and was introduced in the
senate aC the last session by Senator Love-.
1t was killed by small margin; but
having been introduced in the house at
the same time by Representative de-
Loach, and not being acted upon at the
last session, came over to the present ses-
sion, and, as stated, passed the house. The
feeling that the railroad and express COM
panies, both monopolies, should be subject
to some kind of government control, is
general. The principal trouble in these
parts has been with the express company.
AS to whether or not the charges of that
organization are unreasonable we are, of
course, unprepared to say. But this, as
we understand it, is not the principal
source of complaint. There seems to be
but little uniformity as to rates. The
same package carried over the same dis
tance, at two different times, is liable to
be charged for at different prices, and
then local merchants have had the expe-
rience of having to foot larger bills when
they paid express at this end of the line,
than when the charges were paid at the
shipping point, especially when that ship
ping point is in the north. This gives the
idea that shippers at the north enjoy
lower express rates than shippers at the
south. All these things have gone to
build up well-founded dissatisfaction
but now begins to arise the question in
our mind, suppose the bill becomes a law,
what benefit will it be to the public. If
the railroad commission is of any value
in the regulation of the railroads, we con-
fess that we are unable to see it. For in
stance, Yorkville and York county should
have the benefit of much better schedules.
And if the railroad commission does not
prevent discrimination on the part Of the
railroads, how are we to expect it to help
us in regard to telegraph and express
companies. That the object of the bill
under discussion is along the right line,
there is no question. We feel some of
the abuses. Others feel them. We have
Leen active in trying to have the railroad
and express companies put under the ju-
risdiction of the railroad commission {;
but we confess that we have fear that
our efforts have not been along the right
line. Unless something is done to prod
up the railroad commission, we are satis-
fed of it.
