away when DR.. H. c. McClurg reached

there was going to be some gun play

Cams Were On.-In accordance with
an affidavit filed in Justice Halls
court by G. A Rooster, Jr.. in which
he stated he had reason for suspecting
that gambling was being carried on at
the EldOrado. 11G and rs East Third
street. and upon the request of the
same complainant. Justice Hall issued
a search warrant against the place,
with the further demand that all
gambling paraphernalia found there
be confiscated and brought to his
court TO be destroyed This warrant
was given to Constable Byron Rumsey
for service. Upon arriving at the
place Mr. Rumsey found nothing left
but several ordinary tables and few
chairs. The constable scratched his
head and remarked: Surely these
are not gambling devices; | have ia
bles and chairs in my own home and
l don't know a deuce from an ace"
The constable then took a bunch to
himself that the proprietOrs of the
place had got wind of what was go
ing on and had hurriedly removed the
expensive paraphernalia to some other
location.

MOLINE

Ward is Discharged. - The case
against Ed Ward, for using abusive
language, was dismissed by Justice H.
n. Mapes. The case was called in Mag
istrate Frank Gustafson's court, but the
attorneys for the defendant asked for
a change of venue. which was granted.
The case grew out of an alleged use of
abusive language to officer Swan Lar
son a couple of weeks ago. According
TO the testimony of Mr.. Larson he went
into Wards saloon, as is his custom, to
see that everything was all right, and
stopped in the front end of the room,
and was talking to some young men
in there, when Mr. Ward came up and
began to abuse the officer by calling
him names which would not look well
in print. The officer told Ward to stop
using such language or he would be
arrested. Ward continued, however,
and Larson made good his threat and
took Ward TO the police station, where
he gave bond for his appearance. Two
of the witnesses who were subpoenaed
by the state confirmed Mr. Larsons
testimony. When Mr. Ward was call
ed to the stand he denied using the
language with which the officer charg-
ed him, but also said that he did not
remember exactly what happened, as
he was busy at the time.

Legislative.

Legislative.
Mr.. e. e. Werner of Oeonee oppos-
ed the bill. He said there was some
one else ID the State besides the
operatives. He then went into q
comparison of the mill operatives and
those who work on the plantations.
The farmers work as hard and work
s as late as the mill operatives. The
farm laborer, he thought, went to
work before the mill operatives did.
e was not fair to say that the factory
people are the only people who work.
He knew the cotton factory people
and he never had one to ask him to
favor this bill. He wanted to forever
protest against the State protecting
every one and every one. He thought
this everlasting interference with the
home and the rights of men was
hurtfui and was injuring the man
hood and independence Of the people.
He asked why the cotton mill
people remained in the mills. They
were Satisfied and got better pay.
He was opposed to meddlesome legis-
slation. His people were satisfied.
Mr.. Cloy said he received more
votes in Aiken county than any man
ever received. He was South Caro-
inian born and bred aud was not
elected By Yankee Influences.
The people Of Aiken country want
this legislation. His people want
this 10-hour law and that was why
he favored the bill. He belonged to
noiunion and never would. He would
Ike to know why some people would
not give others credit for good ideas.
His people knew what they wanted
and his delegation came here with
honest opinions. He5said one of the,
mill moguls told him he did not know
anything abontthe conditions in the
mills. The time has come when Mr..
Monarch takes snnf and the balance
are not obliged TO sneeze. The peo.
pie are going to have this lsS. Those
mill presidents never pushed a rowing
box and had to get to work before
breakfast.
Mr.. Laban Mauldin of Piekeus
county said tnie was very bad bill
and would work an injury to sll sex-
cept q few. The bill will injure the
operatives alone above all others be-
cause Of the prevalence OF piece work.
He was here when the present law
was enacted and voted for it. The
mill men from that day on charged
rent for the houses and the mill men
will simply find some way to reduce
the wages and this cut in hours can
help no one. The mill men will lose
because they can not work their
machinery. It will cut the produc-
tion 10 per cent. The whole cotton
belt is trying to increase the nse of
cotton and this bill would cut the
consumption of cotton.
The merchants are also concerned.
He had kin people in the mills and
none Of his people want this bill
passed. The whole State will not be
benefited by this bill. Cotton mill
operatives are making money and
they have paid off mortgages. This
bill will drive operatives over into
North Carolina and Georgia, where
there is an 1l-hour law. Why does
rot that bill cover all classes of work
