Nothing to the contrary appearing,
it must be assumed that the woman

ing employer, and that the result. was
mutually satisfactory and profitable.
The present constitution of the state
of New York was adopted In 1884
and became effective January l,
1895. All of the rights which adult
women possessed at that time We're
confirmed by that document. One OF
those rights was the right to con-
tract for her labor and to work
when and where she pleased without
reference to the position of the hands
upon the dial of the clock. 1t was
not until four years after that the
law-making power sought to place
the limitation under consideration
upon them. What was the legisla-
tive intent in doing this the attorney
general finds and urges no other rea-
son than that of the general welfare
Of the state demands that the prog
eny of the women of the factorles
shall have mothers with heauhy
bodies, to the ehdSthat the state may
have sturdy citizens. Does the state
look merely 70 the children of the
factory women for it's future good
citizens? Why should not the house
wife, the woman who tolls at home
in mercantile houses in Offices, or
she who tolls not at all-the society
woman-be exempt from legislative
interference, injunctive or mandate.
nv, for the same reason? Some or
them may be mothers of future citi-
zens, and IL should be of as great in
terest to the state that their progeny
should have proper birth and breed
ing to conserve it's welfare" Attor-
ney General Mayer announced that
he would appeal from the decision.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There was a large well-behaved
crowd in Yorkville yesterday. There
was some politics. but not a great deal.
Work on the Southern's new freight
house is progressing rapidly, and the
building will soon be ready for occu-
panCy.
Tomorrow Is the day of the state
campaign meeting. Let everybody
come and hear what the candidates
have to say for themselves.
The only auction sale yesterday
was of eight shares of the capital stock
of the Cherokee Falls Manufacturing
company, offered by Mr.. w. Brown
Wylie. as administrator of the estate
of Miss f. c. McGill. The stock was
started at 500 and with four or five
would-be purchasers, all bidding ca
gerly went on up To $137.5O. when 1t
was knocked down to Mr. S. NJ. Nc
Neel. Mr.. McNeel made the purchase
for another party whose name he de-
clined to give. He admitted that he
had not reached the limit to which he

CAMPAIGN PLEDGES.

The legal restrictions thrown around
the primary campaign this year are
rather more exacting than they have
ever been before, and unless all the can
didates remember to leave off certain
practices that were formerly more or
less common, there is a possibility Of
more or less embarrassing complica-
tions.
To begin with, before a candidate can
enter the race, he must file with the
county Democratic executive commit
tee this pledge:
"As candidate for the office of
-, in the Democratic primary
election, to be held on the last Tuesday
in August, 1906, l hereby pledge myself
to abide the results of such primary
and to support the nominees thereof,
and | am not, nor will l become. the
candidate of any faction, either pri-
vately or publicly suggested, other
than the regular Democratic nomina-
ton"
After the close of the county cam
paign and before the election. each
candidate will be required to file with
the clerk of the court an itemized
statement of all the money he has ex-
pended during the campaign, and to
make affidavit that he has not used
whisky or money for the purpose Of
procuring votes. Failure to file this
statement will nullify an election.

DEATH OF w. A. MOORE.

Mr. w. Adolphus Moore, one of the
oldest and best known citizens of
Yorkville, died at his home here last
Sunday afternoon at about 4 o'clock,
and was buried in the Yorkville ceme-
terry shortly after six o'clock p. m,
yesterday. the funeral services being
conducted from the Presbyterian
church.
Mr. Moore was son Of the late John
S. Moore, and was born in Bullock's
Creek township on the oath day of
March, 1924. He was brought to York
Vile while an infant, and grew UP
here. During his early manhood he
was a member of the mercantile firm

The Sandbar Ferry story published
in The Enquirer of last Friday, was
written by James T. Bacon Of Edge
field, for the News and Courier. The
credit was left off as the result Of over
sight.
The Charlotte Observer takes occa-
sion to back up what The Enquirer has
seen proper to say about the excellence
of the management Of the c. & NV.
railroad. The Observer Is so situated
as to be able to speak with the highest
authority.
The village of McConnellsville has
applied for charter, and very soon
the leading people Of that community
will make a town of the historic place.
There Is certainly no reason why Nc
Connellsville should not become a
municipality Of Importance.
"lf they get you in a close place, and
YOU can't clear yourself any other way,
denounce 1t as a lie." That Is a rule
that many politicians have worked
with success for a number Of years;
but now the people have gotten pretty
well on TO this game. -.
Mr.. Tom Johnston, who represented
York county on the state board of
equalization, used his utmost efforts
to make the state board see the fair
ness of averaging up the real estate
returns of the various counties; but
he was unsuccessful. Anderson re-
turns are the highest, York came
next and other counties ranged down
to almost nothing. The big majority
of the counties was far below what
an average just assessment should be,
and the representatives Of those coun-
ties insisted on standing by the
county boards" AS the result, the
assessments were left as they were
reported by the different .coqnty
boards and many counties will con-
tinue to pay taxes on valuations far
less than they should be. But to the
credit Of Mr.. Johnston it must be said
that he made a hard, manly fight for
right and justice in the matter.

Senator Gilman refers to the good
order prevailing in the dispensary
counties in which he has spoken and
contrasts it with what he found in
one or two. prohibition counties. But
he hasn't been thoughtful enough to
tell of the good order which he found
i'm q number of the prohibition coun-
ties. When he spoke at Sandy Fiat.
Greenville county, an audience OF
near five thousand people was at
tracted to hear him, and the order
among that vast multitude was per-
feet. With less than that number OF
people present at his Spartanburg
meeting a similar condition obtained.
Anderson, the order there Thursday
was excellent. 1t has been the same
way in other places. But Senator
Tillman found some drunkenness
among the crowds which heard him
at Newberry and Saluda, and he
bounced upon prohibition. But that
is Tillman's way."-Greenville News.
If Tillman, when the purchasing
agent for the dispensary, had the
right to present to Hubbell, whisky
manufactures, thousands Of dollars
belonging to South Carolina, why
had not Tillman the right TO give
such rebates to some. political friend
in this state or put them In his own
pocket? If he possessed the power
to freely give, did not he possess
power to take? If Tillman could
properly transfer rebates belonging
to the state of South Carolina to pri-
vate pockets, why has not every sub
sequent purchasing agent possessed
similar right? If II was proper for
Tillman to intercept rebates on their
way to the state treasury and divert
them to the pockets of individuals,
wherein would it be improper In dis
pensary directors who may have
since purchased liquor and been al
lowed rebates" by the .distillers, to
divert such money from the treas
ury and pour it into their own pock-
cts or into the pockets of their
friends? If the present dispensary
board should purchase a million dol
lars worth of liquor and he allowed
a 7per cent rebate, would the peo-
pie consider that board free to give
that $4,000 to friends of the dis
pensary or to put 1t into their own
pockets-and they would be as JUS
tilted In taking as in giving? TILL
man, according to his own testimony

he is dead.-Columbia State.

PICNIC AT GAINS SPRING.

There were between two and three
hundred people at the picnic at Gains
Spring school house about six miles
northwest of Yorkville last Saturday,
and notwithstanding the threatening
weather. everybody had a good time.
Mr. Milus S. Carroll presided at the
rostrum and introduced three speakers,
Messrs. ]. E. Beamguard and F. P. NC
Cain, candidates for the house and Mr..
S. N. Johnson, candidate for magis-
trate for York township. All three
spoke in pursuance of their claims on
the respective offices for which they
are running.
On the dispensary question, both Mr..
Beamguard and Mr.. Mccain declared
themselves as local optionists; but
neither took occasion to say exactly
how he stood with regard to the state
dispensary, whether he thought that
institution should be abolished or
maintained on a purified" basis.
Before, during and after the speak,
ing the picnickers enjoyed a good time
socially.

OFF FOR cHIcKAMAUGA.

The First regiment of the. South
Carolina National Guard leaves for
Chickamauga next Friday, one section
of the special train passing through
Yorkville shortly after noon.
When the train reaches here 1t viii
have on board the Cornwell, Benefits
vile, Cheraw, Rock Hill. Fort Mill and
Liberty Hill companies, and here the
Jasper Light Infantry will get aboard.
Colonel Lewis and staff also join this
section. of the regiment at Yorkville.
Information from the various COM
panies named is to the effect that each
will bring a full complement Of men,
and all have had more applications
than could be accommodated.
Formerly trips of this kind were
largely in the nature Of wild junkets,
and were usually characterized by dis
order from start to finish; the men on
their return leaving behind a record OF
drunkenness and police court es-
capades.
But since the United States govern
ment has taken a more practical inter-
est in the state militia, there have been
noticeable Improvements all along the
line. Discipline has become more
strict and men who are unwilling to
behave themselves are punished until
they are glad to leave the service.
On the present trip, from the time
the soldiers leave until they return,
they will be subject to strict discipline
and will be required to conduct them
selves as becomes soldiers Of great
nation like the United States.
1t is fair to say, however, that the
militia of this part Of the country has
all along been quite soldierly, and at the
present time most of the soldier boys
are taking a very healthy interest and
pride in the proper discharge Of their
duties. All Of them are looking for
ward to securing practical benefits from
this trip, and it is safe to say that not
many of them will be disappointed.

tawba river at Jones' mill some time
ago. He caught small frying-pan
fish. until he got tired and then he
baited foriEan enormous representa-
tive of the1.finny tribe. He went to
his trap yesterday.morning and found
sturgeon that looked like the first
cousin to a whale.
1.-The fisherman couldn't do a thing
with his catch. He called in all of
neighbors to assist him in keeping
the mighty monster of the deep from
swimming. off with the tree, to which
the trap was fastened with a huge
chain.
They; hauled the sturgeon ashore,
but 1t snorted and cavorted around In
such fashion that 1t had to be shot
The fish was about to scare the whole
community to. death. 1t died game
the tail never stopped switching and
the eyes still gleam in rebuke to the
captors
1.-The fish was dragged to the largest
scales in Fort Mill and weighed. ii
tipped the beam for seventy-eight
pounds. 1t was measured. From
snout to tail 1t was just exactly six
feet long. In color the sturgeon was
a brindle, with horny head like q bull
Of Bashan and fins like cross-cut
saws. Its eyes were hazel. =
The fisherman took his unusual
find to Mr.. w. L. Hall, mayor Of Fort
Mill, who paid 50 for 1t, not to eat
but a piece Of financiering. He built
an enclosure around the murdered
fish and charged an admission Of IL
| cents for any one to see It, At last
accounts he had made $40 from his
investment. There will be a picnic
down at Fort Mill tomorrow and the
sturgeon will be put on exhibition
Those in charge of the picnic are very
anxious that every Missourian ir
North Carolina go down and take 6
look. Several guards will be kept ir
the pen with large clubs to hammer
| the fish If it switches its tail too hard

kin to Aesop.
