The people along the line Of the c.

especially at Yorkville and Clover
would be very much pleased to see the
railroad authorities make a daily OF

reason to believe that II the railroad

nerve to make daily of It they would
be able to make 1t pay.

while the carcass turned the scale at
72O pounds. and the united efforts of
eight native soldiers were necessary to
drag 1t to the French residency at
Ouessou, the administrative center OF
Central Sangha, where M. Dupont, the
government administrator, buried the

During the past twelve months several
travellers have reported the presence
in the upper valleys of Lonani and
Sangaroah of these enormous gorillas,
which have never previously been seen,
while the Arabs state that several
times the beasts have attacked cara
vans passing through the valleys.
These monster gorillas differ In many
respects from all others hitherto
known. The ears are remarkably small
and the skin is almost bare on the
chest and stomach. while the shoul-
ders and thighs are covered with long,
thick hair. NJ. Brusseaux believes that
they belong to q new, or at any rate
hitherto unknown species.

WHILE we confess that 1t Is no spe-
cial business Of ours what the union
printers do, we are unable to see the
justice or common sense Of the demand
for an S-hour day with nine hour pay
People around this shop are accustom-
ed to work 9 10 or any other number
of hours that the circumstances seem
to require and are hardly able to keep
up with what is expected Of them even
at that. We all have a hard time
maybe, and we would like to have II
easier: but something tells US that
since but little can be accomplished
without much labor, we are unable TO
see how this S-hour day at 9-hour pay
Is going to work to the real benefit OF
anybody.

THE strike Of the union printers of
Charlotte, which went into effect last
Tuesday, is causing serious embarrass-
ment, especially to the daily papers, the
Observer. the Evening Chronicle and
the News. The strike is for the eight
hour day at 9-hour pay. 1t was precip-
itated by the printers at the instiga-
ton of the union with but short no
tice to the managers of the papers.
The managers of the papers declined
to accede TO the demands Of the print
ers, and hence what promises to be
long and stubborn fight. We have
seen no statement of the printers side
of the controversy. The statement or
the proprietors of the papers Is to the
effect that the union has become more
and more intolerant until 1t is clear
that unless the employers make a pro-
test now. they may as well give up
their business and quit. for 1t Will be
only a question of a very short time
when continued operation on a busi-
result of the strike, every non-unloh
man about the different newspaper Of
fees, and all other available people
who are able to set few type by hand
or operate a machine no matter how
indifferently have been pressed into
service. The papers are advertising for
nom union printers, and though very
seriously crippled are still coming out
on time. They insist that 1t is a fight
for freedom. a fight for liberty, a fight
for the right to control their own bus
mess as against the walking delegate
and they declare that they will not sur
render The printers remain firm, not
one OF them Offering to go back to
work Public sentiment seems to be
with the managers of the newspapers
and the outlook Is that the managers

filed by men whose eyes were per-
feet. And too, during engagements,
every battery crew was supplied
with water in which a one per cent
solution OF boracic acid had been
mixed to wash out their eyes when
they became affected by powder
smoke or dust. We also issue to
every man in the fleets before going
into action cotton wool with which
to plug his ears and thereby prevent

1T is quite natural that there should
be comment as to the light vote In
last Tuesdays election and 1t Is not
surprising that there will be those who
will claim that the verdict Of the peo-
pie has not been properly registered.
1t would have been much more satis-
factory, of course, had the voting been
more general; but really we do not
consider that the situation is OF es-
pecial significance. The election was
open to all who had a right to partici-
pate in it and all who. were prepared
to do so and so desired deposited their
ballots. The result was just as empha-
tic as if every voter in the county had
deposited his ballot and the figures
had been in the same proportion. AS
a matter of fact we have no doubt that
the dispensary would have been voted
out even had the issue been submitted
to primary. We say this for the rea-
son that a majority of the white voters
of the county signed the petition call
ing the election, and by that act indi-
Gated exactly where they stood. or
course. 1t was to have been expected
that each and every signer would vote;
but the fact that they did not do
so need not be taken as re-
fiection 1t is fair to say that through
out the county some 200 or more would
be voters were turned away from the
polls for lack of registration certifi-
Gates, and 1t is quite probable that
many others were kept away from the
polls when they learned at the last mo-
ment that they were not prepared to
vote.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-09-29

If the vote the other day had been
in support of instead Of against the
dispensary, those who are satisfied
with our motives for opposing this in
stitution, would have been impatient OF
taunting or teasing on the other side
Where a voter honestly and candid
ly believed the retention of the dis
pensary to be the best thing, 1t was
Just as much his duty to vote that
way as it was for man on the other
side to vote the other way. We are
glad the dispensary has been voted
out of York county, and we hope that
the liquor business will never be legal
lied in this county again; but we rec
ognize that people who are as honest
as we claim to be take the opposite
view and they have as much right to
their opinion as we have to ours.

strong Rival Theater Tru.t.

NEW YORK, Sept. By merging all their interests in New York state into one vast corporation the Shubert Bros of this city, theatrical managers, have struck their first blow against the theater trust in this country. In a dis patch from Albany it was learned that ysSam s. Shubert and Lee Shubert, ln- corporated, of New York city, formed to conduct theatrical and amusement enterprises" had been incorporated, with capital of S1,400,000. Sam S. Shubert died as result of a railroad wreck some months ago, but 1t is be- heYed his name is being used in the title of the company as a memorial The directors of the company are Lee S. Shubert, Jacob J. Shubert, Joseph w. Jacobs, Charles A. Bird, Sol Man. heimer and William Klein. The inter- ests of all these men, each of whom is experienced and well known in the the atrical business, are enormous. The theater trust now has a rival with in terests nearly equaling theirs in New York state and one which can declare Independence without any chance of disaster

NEW BEE DISEASE.
Reported to Have Made Its Appear. ance in Colorado and Is
 Contagious.

A comparatively new disease is re. ported to have appeared among the bees in Colorado. It is contagious and is said to Spread even faster than foul brood, som etimes appearing suddenly ten miles from an infected locality. When colony is vigorous the disease may be held in abeyance. At other times a Weak colony may be used up by the disease. The larvae die in the cells usually after nearly full grown, then the lead larvae gradually shrivel and dry Up and when about the size Of a comrhon house fly the bees pick them out Of the hive. The disease diff fers from foul brood in the lack of of- fensive odor and ropiness in the brood and also in that the diseased larvae can with care be drawn whole out of the cell at any stage, which is not the case with foul brood. Like foul brood, 1t can bel cured by transferring the bees into clean hive on a new foun- dation. Fprinkling dry fine salt over combs, bfes and brood is remedy for this as Well as other disease.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Speculative Comment In Probable
 Organization of House.

Speculative Comment In Probable
 Organization of House.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.--The con stant reference to Mir. Cannon of Hi nois as the speaker" of the house is technical error only. Strictly speak ing, he was the speaker of the Fifty eighth congress, and his right to the title ended when that congress ended the 4th of last March. But so sure is he to serve in the same capacity in the next congress that newspaper writers may be excused for referring to him now as 'the speaker" and in indulging in speculation as to what he will do re- garding various controverted commit tee assignments. The picturesque law maker from Illinois will not have the slightest opposition.
 Although it is highly probable that John Sharp Williams of Mississippi will be the Democratic nominee for the speakership and so awarded the place of leader of the minority, which he held during the last congress, his selection is not so sure as is that of MT. Cannon MT. Williams has made a better leader than Richardson, his immediate prede- cessor, but he does not enjoy the sup port of all the members of the minori- y, and representatives who keep in close touch with sentiment of their col leagues say they would not be sur prised if when the Democratic caucus gets to work there were other candi- dates in the field.
 The man most likely to become a rival, if anybody does, is David A. De Armond of Missouri. It is known that MT. Williams wants to succeed him. self and is confident of his ability to do so. 85E4s .5 aH2
