Changes In Business.

Mrs. l.. J. Myers, on account of fail
ing health, has disposed of the Yale
Bazaar which she has successfully con-
Quoted for about two years. Mrs.
Myers and Miss CHASER, her assistant,
have made many warm friends during
their short stay in Yale and the best
of good wishes go with them to where
ever they may make their future home.
w. B. Lane, the new proprietor of
the baz aar is well spoken of by his
Gazette, as a sound business man and
highly respected. We publish below
clippings from the Gazette
"Willis B. Lane goes to Yale, st.
Clair county, Monday to invoice a
bazaar stock which he has purchased.
He and his wife will be very much
missed by large circle of friends who
wish them well in their new home.
They have lived here for the past
twenty-three years and have always
taken their share of church, fraternal
and social responsibility.
Two years of Mr. Lanes life here he
was member of the general merchan-
disc firm of Lane Il Hamilton. Eleven
years he held leading position with
the Carson City Mercantile Co. and for
the past five years, has been salesman
with Krohn & NetZorg. His long and
successful experience in handling mer-
chandise ought to insure his success in
his new field.
Yale is thriving country town of
about l5C0 population, twenty-four
miles northwest of Port Huron and a
promising field for man of Mr.. Lanes
push and experience"

Atlanta, Ca, July 14.-The strike
of the twenty-four pretty nurses at
the Presbyterian hospital is over. It
was "compromised" as one Of the
soft-voiced strikers explained by the
nurses returning to work under the
old terms and conditions. That is,
2l of them returned and the remain
ing three were willing. but the hospi-
tai authorities told them to "pack
their clothes and CO.,
The Young womtn claimed that
they were overworked and under-fed,
and that there was another reason
which was worse than both the others.
What this reason was they have not
revealed. Anyway, the nurses bor-

returned and peace reigns over the

partment Of which Hon. E. J. Watson
is the commissioner, was in the city
Yesterday inspecting the mills of Un-
ion.
Mr.. McDougall was the jumper on

Walker. However, Mr.. McDougall is
quoted as saying that he came here
only on his official industrial duties,
and that so far as his fremen team
contesting this is concerned he ex-
poets to have nothing more TO do with
it. Indeed he does not intend to have
anything to do with the team IN the
future. and the Columbia fremen, ID

YORK JURY DISCHARGED.

Yorkville, July 14.-Judge Mem
minger this morning dumfounded
panel of petit jurors by dismissing
them on the ground that they were
unfit for service in his court. The
case was one in which the usual count
of carrying concealed weapons was
tackled on to an indictment for as
sault and battery with intent to kill.
The testimony showed quite serious
fight in which two Russells shot two
Robinsons, the bullets being fired
from the rear. There was good deal
Of conflict in the testimony as to
the merits of the fight, but no dis
pute as to the fact that both of the
Russells had pistols. The jury ac-
quilted the Russells on all counts.
That was last night. When court
convened this morning Judge Mem
minger had the clerk to call the pan
ell and said to it in effect that if
curry saw proper 10 dccepl pied ol
self-defence from a man who had shot
another in the back it was not within
his province to set the verdict aside,
but where men were unable or unwill-
ing to be guided by the plain law and
evidence in a case Of carrying con-
cealed weapons in the face Of the fact
that there had been no attempt to
deny the charge he was unwilling to
60 on trying cases with such jurors.
He therefore Instructed the members
Of the panel to apply to the clerk for
their pay and consider themselves dis
charged from further attendance.
Then turning to the clerk his honor
instructed the drawing Of additional
Jurors to fill out the venice.

as you suggest. And the money bor-
rowed was not deposited in a bank
at lower interest than We pay the
bank when they loan US but was
Held by the county treasurer and
paid out by him on the warrant of
the commission which warrant shall
state the particular purpose for which
it was paid.''
Any expenditure of a dollar Of this
money except for the purposes stated
in the act would have been breach
of trust and the treasurer stood as
the representative Of the people be-
tween this board and the people and
could have refused to pay any warrant
issued by them that was not for the
purpose set out in the act or any
member of the commission could have
stopped payment of any warrant is
sued by the majority if he had be-
lieved that it was not being properly
spent and in accordance with the act.
Here the money could not be spent
except that the people got what it was
appropriated for and if they had not
got it they would not have had to
pay. Under your bond act if the
bonds are issued We have got them
to pay roads or no roads. Under the
court house act it was "court house
or no money" and it was not re-
funding in. forty years by somebody
possibly not yet born but the men
who built was the men who settled up
the entire affair which has been done
and they have retired with the "wel
done thou good and faithful servant''
from all of the people of Newberry
eounty and of every judge that has
seen it and all people who have visit
Led it from elsewhere.
Read both acts, study both, and you
will quickly see the difference. One
for bonds, bonds, and the other by
taxes. One to be handled by the pres
ent generation, one by who?
The delegation that had the court
house act passed had the backbone
and manhood to make Improvements
when needed and it's record for the
material development Of this county
and the improvements in the affairs Of
the county is second TO none and they
have no apology to make as the re- /:
suits speak for themselves and loud
er than words.
I am for good roads, yes, get them,
but do it like We got the court house,
by taxes and not by bonds. Richland
county has got as good roads as there
are in South Carolina and Supervisor
Sam Owens, one Of the finest and
ablest, is building them without any
bonds. I answer, yes We can build
good roads. by taxes il We will get
somebody that knows how and who
will make every person liable to road
duty do his part and not jump about
all over the county and do patch
work and then excuse every fellow or
his hands who has got few votes in
the coming primary for fear Of get
ting defeated.

the building Of the new court house,
and says the county treasurer stood
between the board and the people,
and could have refused to pay any
warrant issued by them that was not
for the purpose set out IN the act,
ETC., etc. Well, the act says that the
money borrowed for the purpose
should be held by the county treas
urer. land shall be paid out by him
Oh the warrant Of said commission,
signed by them, or a majority Of
them. which warrant shall state the
particular purpose for which it is
issued.' That strikes me as being
rather mandatory. [ don't know,
though, and that is neither here nor
there
But that looks to me like paying
out money on the order Of majority
Of the commission. The roads act
ordering the election on the bond is

on a warrant "signed by the chair
man and treasurer and at least five
Of the other members Of the commiS-
sion and countersigned by the clerk. y

I haven't meant to get into any
controversy, and am sorry said
anything about it at all. I don't want
to run the county and [ don't want
to tell anybody else how to run it.
If the people want roads it will be
up to the people to get them. If they
don't want roads, why it's all right
with me. But you can mark this pre-
diction; if they ever get roads they
have got to issue bonds to get them.
because an annual tax that would do
any good without bond Issue would
have to be made so high that [ doubt
if a man like me, who doesn't pay
anything but poll tax and street duty,
could stand it.
Mr.. Blease. as I called attention to
before, has been talking about not
having a man on the board from each
township. Now, on his court house
commission, Mr.. Blease had five town.
ships Representatives,. l, 4, E, 8
and 10. On the roads commission
there are the same number Of town
ships representatives.. l, 3, E, 8
and 10. On each board Nos. l, 3 and
10 are represented. and on Mr.
Blease's board Nos. + and 8 were
represented. while on the road board
Nos. 3 and 9 are represented. There
is not as much difference between the
number of townships represented on
the two boards as there IS between
a bond and note.
Now. 7 am through with it. I doubt
if I would have said any more at ali,
though. had I not wanted to assure
Mr.. Blease that it was not my :nfen-
ton to reflect on the new coutt house
building nor on the manner ot It's
erection. It is an ornament . the
city and to the county, and Is TT

about this time. but I thiul: I VII

Editorial Notes.
By J. D. Watson.

What promises to be long and tiresome
debate by Congress has been opened on the
Payne tariff bill.
By the time it is cut and slashed by amend
ments in the House. its author will hardly
know it. 1t will be different bill with most
of the few good provisions stricken out and
bad ones substituted.
But tariff reduction will not get its worst
jolt in the House. You may depend upon the
Senate killing it.
Aldrich and his crowd will see that the peo
pie are made to bear the burden of the increase
in the cost of running the government. Those
who have been loking forward to real re-
duction in tariff rates will be surprised when
they learn that the reduction is going to be
really an increase.
Under the Payne tariff bill the government
will receive $33,I6o,748 more in duties than it
did under the despised Dingley law in 1906.
And the increase in the tariff is on those ar
tlcles, as rule, most important and necessary
to the common people.
The tariff schedules will be revised, but the
revision will work a hardship to those who
need relief.
In other words, poverty will be taxed higher
to support wealth and make the rich richer.
But we must protect home industries, cry
our believers in high tariff.
Yes, if we want to create more Steel Trusts
more Standard Oil companies and more Rookie
