The Florence daily tribune., 1902-06-02

This week begins new era in The
Tribune office, and it is with pride
that we invite in our friends and
readers to see our wonderful Simplex
typesetting machine, just installed.
The demand for plenty of fresh news
matter, for late news in full detail
right up to the hour of publication
the necessity for keeping in the front
rank with the great development of
the newspaper business during recent
years; and the desire to give our read
ers as much as possible for their
others led us to see that something
swifter and better than hand typeset-
ting must be provided. After long
and careful investigation of the whole
subject of mechanical typesetting, we
have finally installed the machine
which is working such revolution
in the old methods of producing news
papers.
1t is probable that on no labor saw
ing machine has more time and money
been expended than on a device to set
and distribute type. For over cen
tury inventors have struggled with
the question, and while their efforts
We're partially successful, it has only

Its Mechanical Construction and
Mode of Operation.
The Increase in The Trbune's Business Demands
Latest Machinery for It's Execution More
Reading Matter Will Be Used.

To distribute the type in the first
place, the channels of the upper cylin-
der are filled with dead natter
type that has been used) and is re-
volved step by step. AT each step or
movement of the distributor cylinder
the bottom type of each line of dead
matter is tested by the wards or chan
nels of the lower cylinder, until it
finds one exactly corresponding and
drops down into the lower magazine.
The lower cylinder is stationary and
at the bottom of each channel il CON
tains lever which is connected with
a keyboard similar to that of a type
writer. When character ON the key
board is pressed down the lever re-
leases the corresponding character
from the channel and deposits it on Il
rapidly moving disc which carries it
around the machine and to packer
which packs the letters into "a line in
ton, or, to use printers phrase,
standing on their feet. ~ A long
line of type rapidly forms in front
of the operator, and when ne has
enough for his purpose he whirls his
chair around, and with small in
strument called grab separates

enough from the long line to make II
line the measure he is setting This
he justities or spaces, and then
takes another line and so ON. When
two persons are working at the same
time, one operates the keyboard and
the other does the spacing. AS soon
us one line is spaced it is automati-
cally pushed back to make room for
another and at the same time the mat
ter is loaded if so desired
After the machine is once in opera
ton all that is necessary III the way
of distributing is to place galley
of dead type ON the side of the upper
cylinder in place prepared for it.
1t does the work perfectly, and while
it is apparently simple, it would be
impossible to explain the matter intel
ligently, so we won't try, but again
invite you to come and see for your
self.
The Simplex is small and compact,
weighing about 100 pounds and oc-
ordinary coal stove, and while it took
brains and lots of them to invent it,
it is of remarkably simple construc-
tion and not at all liable to get out
of repair. II is certainly the best
and most wonderful machine that ever
graced country print shop.
This new addition to The Tribune
will place it in a position to get out
fine book work at lower rate than
ever and we invite those needing this
class of printing to let us give them
estimates.
The Tribune now has the finest and
best equipped printing Office iii Flor
ence and its reputation for turning
out none but the best of work, having
long been established, will be main
tained.

SMOOTH SWINDLERS.
They Fleece South Carolina Farm
ers on Bogus Sales of Supplies.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 22.-Two we'll
dressed men OF gentlemanly bearing
representing themselves as agents of
a well-known Chicago supply house,
have been swindling farmers in sever
al counties in this state. Their latest
operations have been in Richland, Lex
ington and Laurens counties. They
travelled by private conveyance and
collected sums of money ranging from
$40 to $50 on articles to be shipped in
periods of from ten to fifteen days,
considerably under the listed prices in
the catalogues, which they exhibited.
H. M. Smith of High Point. Laurens
county, holds receipt for $40 signed
by B. F. Jones, one of the two men,
in payment of a high grade buggy
which was to be shipped him in twelve
DAYS.
At the expiration of the twelve days,
no buggy having arrived. Mr.. Smith
telegraphed the alleged Chicago house
which informed him that they en-
ployed no travelling agents and the men
were imposters and frauds. In the
meantime information was received
from a point in Georgia that two men
answering the description OF Jones and
his companion, had been operating the
same scheme there. and were badly
wanted by the authorities in that
state. Warrants have been sworn out
by farmers in several counties for the
arrest of the swindlers.
Preparations are we'll under way for
the state fair which opens Oct. rs. A
feature of the fair this year will be

FLORIDA POLITICS.
CHAIRMAN DAYS SUCCESSOR HAS
NOT YET BEEN NAMED. ~

VIII Probably Be Either Browne or
Burns-Both Aspirants for the Po-
sftfon-EstabIfshme of New Po-
IiticaI Organ in Jacksonville rs
Yet ProbIematical.
Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 22.-Hon. Hen
nv d. Day, chairman of the Florida
Railroad Commission, who will resign
in a few days, to take effect Oct. 1,
has been appointed freight agent of
the Seaboard Air Line at Jacksonville.
He is already making his preparations
to move. Few men in Tallahassee
have more friends or more fully de-
serves them.
Gov. Jennings will probably name
MI Days successor in a few days.
Both Burr and Browne are spoken of,
and other names have also been mem
toned, although it is probable that
one of the two former will receive the
appointment to serve until Jan. l, 1903,
at which time their regular terms of
office win begin.
1t is not yet known who will be APP
pointed secretary to the new commits
sion. Guy Metcalf, the East Coast
newspaper man, who recently disposed
of his Tropical Sun, at West Palm
Beach (popularly known as "Tabasco
Sauce"), has been spoken of, but it is
generally believed by those best ac-
quainted with the gentleman that he
has other, and more ambitious, views;
and that, should a new morning paper
be started in Jacksonville, he will be
prominently identified with 1t.
Mr.. Metcalf, it may be remembered,
is the organizer who managed Mr.
Burr's highly successful printers
ink" campaign, which resulted in his
nomination for the railroad commits
sion by an overwhelming majority over
all competitors. He was also connect
ed with Mr.. Brownies headquarters in
Jacksonville during the second pri-
mary, although that astute and re-
sourceful politician must be credited
with the management of his own cam
paign.
1t is, however, far from certain that
any new paper will be started in Jack
sonville this year, and it is quite GER
tain that, If the sheet is established,
its appearance in the field will he due
less to the Hon. J. W. c. Stockton tEan
to certain of his friends and admirers.
Mr.. Stockton has been in Florida poi
itics too long not to realize the fatal
possibilities inherent in carelessly
managed and wildly steered political
organs. 1t was to the support" of
journalistic boomerangs of this type
that the defeat of the late John Dunn
and Col. w. d. Chipley-both aspi-
rants for the United States Senate in
their day, as Mr. Stockton is in his
was largely due: and, whatever mis-
takes John" Stockton may make. he
may be depended upon to carve out
new ones for himself instead Of repeat
ing those of his unlucky political pre-
decessors.

EQUITABLE SECURITY
COMPANY CASE.
An Amended BiII Filed Asking the
Appointment of Receiver.

Appointment OF Receiver.
Atlanta, Sept. 22.--Another bill in
connection with the Equitable Loan
and Security Company was filed to-day
in the Superior Court. This latest,
which was filed as an amendment to
the original bill by P. A. Warning and
others, who asked that a receiver be
appointed for the concern, is replete
with highly interesting allegations.
Several days ago, stockholders, claim
ing to represent $4,000 of stock, filed
protest against the appointment of a
receiver, stating they were perfectly
satisfied with the management of the
company by the present officers. In
the amendment it is alleged that, while
the ostensible purpose of the company
was to collect money from the certifi-
cate holders until the certificates ma
tured the real object was simply to
provide a living for the various officers
and agents.
1t is declared that though the COM
pany expected to transact business In
volving over 100000 it's only capital
was. $3.50 and some secondhand furni-
ture. 1t is asserted that the officers
and stockholders of the company inn
mediately proceeded to absorb as much
90 POSSiOAS III bilG SHAPE VA
sion and salaries, that within two years
and ten months, John S. Owen took
as toll $7,535.13, when he had invested
only $3.50, or more than 5000 per cent,
and that w. S. Thompson drew 3d.
S10.S3 on an investment of SIS.
The amendment goes on to declare
that certificates in class A having
been adjudged a lottery by the post
office department, class B was drawn
not for the purpose of rendering the
scheme a success, but for the sole pur-
pose of continuing the plan of the
company by evading the official au-
thorities. 1t is charged that the con-
Germ never has been a building and
loan association; that vast majority
of the loans made by it are usurious,
and that the deeds taken to secure
such loans are null and void. 1t is
further held that so per cent. of said
loans are infected with usury. and
that while the amount of loss from
such loans is problematical, IL will
amount to fully 100000. The amend
ment is filled by Attorneys G. t. & J.
F. Cam. Brown & Randolph and John
i. Hopkins & Sons.
