THE BOSS MARRIAGE ARTIST.
Unique Schedule of Prices-AccOrding
 to Ability to Pay.
BY ALLAN NICHOLSON.

Union. S. C., Nov. 1S.-(Special Correspondence. .)-A unique figure in the State of South Carolina, which itself holds a unique position on the subject of marriages. has just been removed from the office of notary public, or marriage artist" by Gov ernor D. c. Haywood. of the Palmet- to State.
 The mans name is W. O. BaiIes, Squire Bai1es" he is called, and a queer character he seems to be. His home Is near Fort Mill in the county of York in South Carolina. near the line which separates that State from North Carolina. In his notarial work Squire Bailes seems to nave made a speciality of marriages. Indeed his business of uniting in the holy bonds of wedlock grew to such an amazing extent-he claiming to perform at least 365 a year-and it seems at times were of such a questionable charac- ter, that about year ago the citi- zens of the community in which he lived, petitioned the Governor of South Caralina that he be removed from of1ce. A counter petition, now ever. asking the governor not to take such action was also presented, and the matter was held in abeyance, the governor announcing that it was still open for further proof.
 In the meanwhile, couples of all ages and stations have continued to come to Squire Bailes from across the line in North Carolina, where a li- cense Is required. At all hours of the night, where secrecy was desired, they came in search of marital bliss.
 But Squire Bailes' unique and lu- crative job is now at an end. His official career as notary public of South Carolina has been cut off by section 662 of the Code of Laws of 1902, which authorizes the governor when he deems 1t for the best inter- ests of society. an opinion which it is said that Governor Heyward holds in this case.
 That Squire Bailes is original as we'll as hustler in his role as mar riage artist" is shown by the follow ing literature which he spread broad cast, and which was submitted to the governor as part evidence for the need of his removal:
 A Price, List.

In the Paddle Wheel.

Mir Stanhope Hall author of '"TwAn- ty Years at Sea-" was not much more than boy when he had the following curious and terrifying adventure, the recollection of which haunted him all his life, says an Exchange. The ship on which he was making his first voy- age was loading cotton in Mobile Bay and the captain had sent him in a small boat to get some newspapers from A big sidewheel steamer which lay near by
 In trying to bring the boat up to the steamer, he says. I upset myself and went down. I could not swim and l struggled in hopeless terror. When came to the surface l found myself Tn the brackets of the great wheel; they were green with river moss and slim perry as ice, but regained my breath.
 As I held on panting from my plunge thrill Of horror ran through me. The wheel had slowly began to revolve. In agony I shouted. but in that great wheel box my voice was nothing. Slowly the wheel turned carrying me upward. When T reached inc top l should be ground to pieces. or. If by any chance I escaped that fate, l should be drowned when I was again drawn under the wheel into the fearful suction.
 'N"'4 anu eNsNiH Shouleu. FinaIly as l was nearing the top a little trap door opened and some one looked into the box. l opened my mouth to call once more, but my throat was paraI- yzed; for a moment I could not utter a note.
 The trap door was just closing, when with one mighty effort. my voice came back and I screamed. The man opened ths trap again, saw me, sprane upon the wheel and snatched me into safety. l was heavy weight in his arms as he carried me to the deck. for fainted dead away.

The HyperboIlcal Mosau.to.

John F. Redmond. at a reception in his honor. was asked for his opinion of political prophecy that had been printed in London newspaper. says The Cincinnati Enquirer.
 MT. Redmond read the prophecy Then he smiled.
 This" he said, 'is hyperbolical. It is as hyperboIical as the mosquito story that a resident of New Jersey told me the other day.
 This gentleman desired to impress upon me the great size and ferocity of the New Jersey mosquitoes. He said:
 CT had a valuable COW in the spring, and usually I kept her in the stable, for the mosquitoes were growing in size and in numbers, and feared that they might do her harm.
 One hot, cloudy. humid day. though, I permitted the COW to pasture in B marshy field She spent the day in the field, and toward evening I went with one of the farm boys to bring her home to the milking.
 Alas, her skeleton lay beneath a tree, and on an adjacent fence sat a mosquito. picking his teeth with one of her horns.'"

 Take 14 ounces of dislike, pound of resolution. grains of common sense. ounces of experience a large sprig of time and 8 quarts of cool ing water for consideration.
 Set these over the fire of love, sweeten with the sugar of forgetful- ness. skim it with the spoon of mel ancholy, put 1t in the bottom of your heart. cork it with the cork of clear conscience. let it remain, and you will quickly find ease and be restored to your senses again.

His fame is widely spread ing. everybody speaks well of him and glad they have been there. It is a pretty place to go and I am sure no one will regret it. He marries several hundred couples a year and his geographical situation and facilities cannot be excelled.
 He is situated most conveniently just across the State line, eleven miles south of Charlotte and one west of the Vile of Pine.

HydroacOpe Raises shAp Sunk at Vige
 bn 17O1.


 Sphere
 A very clever instrument has been devised by an Italian inventor, Cava- Here Giuseppe Pino. by which the bot tom of the sea can be examined with a cIearness and ease which has hitherto been impossible. The inventions are at present in daily work, the opera tions being supervised by the inventor.
 The hydroscope-such Is the name given to the instrument for seeing ob- tects in the sea or on the sea bottom ls constructed of steel and in shape is like a huge telescope pointed down. ward into coral caverns or sunkep ships instead of upward at the sun or the stars.
 Its complex system of lenses, twelve in number, answers to the objective glass of a celestial telescope. Togeth- CT with the internal mirrors they pro- duce a very clear picture of the sea bottom. the rays of light passing up the tube to a sort of camera obscura house at the top which floats above the surface and Is capable of holding four people.
 The amount of light under the sur face is considerably greater than is generally imagined. Tho inventor of the hydroscope has himself been able to read a newspaper lying on the sea- bottom at a depth of 860 feet from the surface by the ordinary daylight pene- trating the water.
 The water at the bottom of the sea is very often clearer than at the sur face, as the sediment is capable of sinking in the still water, whereas at the surface sand ana other matter is kept fin solution by the constant move

ment of the waves, the force of which is not felt very few feet beneath the surface.
 One of the most romantic things yet accomplished by the hydroscope ana the raising apparatus has been the bringing to the surface of an old Span- ish galleon, one of 6 numerous feeA sunk in the bay of vigo in I7o2 and re- gently brought to the surface by the aid Of Pino's invention.
 Unfortunately during the night ths old hulk proved to have so rotted away that 1t rolled over, broke in pieces, ana again sank to the bottom. The metal bolts which held the timbers togethee had evidently rusted almost compaete- iy away.

To Work 1n HsonorabIA.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 There has existed. and still exists te some extent, a false sentiment that ia- bor is degrading or beIittling The contrary is true. An ideal condition of sOcety can come only when every mem, Der of it recognizes that he Is bound to exercise whatever skill or strength or faculty he possesses to its full capa- city, not selfishly or for the sake of gain merely. but for his own happiness and development and for the benefit of all. And there should be no restrict ion oon any one, either legal or social or through association, in regard to his labor or its faults. If by patient application or natural endowment g man possesses more skill than his fel- low or if he chooses to be more indus trious he is entitled to the full benef1t of it.
