Women In High Positions.

One of the largest railroad corpora
tions in this country has decided that
the female stenographers in it's employ
will not be allowed to qualify for pro
motion, nor shall they be eligible for

decision, and probably represents sen
tlment other than that of the corpo-
ration. Fifty years ago no one imac.

the ranks of men to compete in hcav.
icr brain work would have been re-
gardcd as ridiculous. 1t canno, be
said that they have conquered every
branch of endeavor, but they have
done wonders in the third of cen.
tury, and they may even dissipate the
prejudice Of this western railway cor
pCration before the half of the present
century is reached
The reason for their exclusion. may
como from the employees. Tie aygres-
slvenoss of women has in number Of
Instances led 10 combinations of their
fellow male workers against them a
kind of self.defcnse movement, which
can scarcely be criticised severely, for
the women have pushed the men out
OF some occupations which formerly
belonged TO thcrl exclusively. Tho
majority of clerical railroad positions
can hardly be said to be beyond the
capacity of bright, brainy women;
the management, however, may have
inferred that those selected for the
higher Offices arc often drawn from
these clerical departments, and there
have been notable instances of such
cases. Baltimore American.

He lined his company up and made a
statement of the situation to them,
asking who would volunteer to serve
the fair association, when every man
stepped to the front. The captain ex-
planned that he needed only few men
and selected the non-commissioned
officers. They rode TO the track and
after surveying the crowd the ten men
and their commander rode In close
ranks to the centre and began going
around in circle, gradually forcing
the negroes out of the way. Wher
this spot had been cleared they were
asked to clear the railing and were or
dered to ride along the r.iling and or
der the negroes off, giving the asso-
citation as their authority for the or.
der. They finally succeeded in clear
ing the railing Of all but three men.
This they reported to their command
er. Three times he sent them back
to these three negroes with the same
order, to leave the fence and each time
the report was that .hcse negroes re-
NAMED.
"cET THEM DOWN !"
Capt. Gary then rode out to the
outer edge Of the track in front Of the
stand and lined his men up. facing
the fence squarely. He ordered the
men to march forward and when right
up to the fence ordered the negroes to
leave it. When they sat still he again
gave that effective order:
DRAW sabres u
He ordered the company to put the
negroes off the fence and if any one
of them refused to move to chop them
off. The ten men rode upon the fence
until the heads of their horses we're
reaching over it, with ten sabres sus-
pended over their heads. This was
more than the negroes could stand
end Immediately they :umblod of and
the races proceeded without further
trouble.
These three negroes were members
of the South Carolina legislature, one
OF them the negro lawyer, Straker,
now of Detroit, who has just caused
the Richmond County authorities so
much trouble in bringing Charley
Thomas back to the scene of the crime
with which he is charged.
At the following session of the leg
islature Straker introduced resolu-
tion that the sabres given to the Pal
metto Sabre Club by the State be taken
away from them, but he failed to
secure the passage Of the resolution.
RED SHIRT ORIGIN.
The company also had connection
with the origination of the afterward
far-famed red shirts. Though the
uniforms of the sabre club was blue
broad cloth the red shirts were
DranCQ.
After it was found that this COM
pany worked so we'll loop was dis
covered in the South Carolina law
through which white military COM
pany could be organized.
Capt. Press Blackville, member
OF the sabre club, decided that he
lived too far from Edgeheld to get the
full benefits of the company and ask
ed its officers to help him organize
company in hia section. This was
done and charter was finally secured,
which is now recorded in some of the
old books in the Office Of the clerk of
couiss Of Edgefeld County.

Mr.. CAN'T favors raising additional
revenue by franchise tax. So do
we, but our franchise tax" is of a
different kind. Let the constitution
be amended SO as to allow every man
not now entitled to vote to do so on
payment Of $40 each election year.
Roosevelt, Hanna, Lodge and other
plutocratic Republicans ;n the north
would be glad to pay this tax out of
the Republican campaign fund for 21,-
600 negroes. We could afford to let
chat number be counted at $40 each.
Here is another good scheme. We
are told that 1900 men applied for
positions as State constables and were
rejected. Let the governor reconsider
and appoint all, charging each fee of
$40, to 60 into the State treasury.
This would raise $4,000. The 1900
new constables could be stationed in
Columbia and Charleston, where they
could easily seize enough blind tiger
beer and whiskey to pay for their ser.
vices.
In conclusion, we wish to remark
that among all the firms in the United
States engaged in the whiskey busi.
ness, the proud State of South Caro-.
lima is probably the largest single
dealer, and when snch firm is get.
ting behind every year there must be
need Of more reform.
