ARTISANS NEEDED
FOR CONSTRUCTION
No Let Up in Building on Ac'
count of the Advent of
Cooler Weather.

II there has been any appreciable dim
mutton IN the constructive and improve
ment work in and around Salt Lake as
the cold weather sets in, IL is not reflect
ed in the demand for labor. In front OF
half dozen employment agencies in the
city the walls are still pIacarded with
the Men Wanted sign, and black
boards carry the same appeal, and with
the urgent quick" added.
The present early winter season as re-
CARDS the demand for labor is in marked
contrast to former years. Heretofore
when first SHOWS fell and the mornings
became chill with the frost, there was q
noticeable suspension OF work and an in.
| tluX of idle men into the city looked for
This season, however, the employment
agencies are still hunting the men, anC
the idle willing worker is missing.
AT one employment agency it was stat
ed yesterday that employment could be
given 150 men il the men could only be
had. As illustrating the scarcity of la
Dor, the manager Of this agency said
that he had a request for six bridge la
borers, pay 800. and that IN two days
he had been able to secure only four
men.
At all Of the employment agencies II
was much the same story, and with the
reiterated statement that ANY man who
wants to work can get it and at good
pay"
The demand is general IN both the city
and from points within q radius OF 15C
miles from Salt Lake. All classes of Ia
Dor are included, both skilled and TN
skilled, with the principal demand, how
ever, for labOrers, teamsters for canal
and railroad work. The city demand is
confined mainly TO building work.
At another employment agency Il was
stated that the demand for labor at the
present time is practically as heavy as
at any time during the rush Of the sum-
mer months. In some sections the work
has slackened, but the men from these
POINTS have Immediately moved TO other
places where work was waiting for them.
The statement Of the employment
agencies that there is a plentitude Of
work and few idle men is borne out by
the dodgers" book at police headquar-
ters, an unfailing barometer of the win
ter labor situation. The WOTkingman out
of a job and penniless seeks the scaut
comfort of the dodgers room at the
station rather than beg. It is no uncom-
mon thing for a dozen or more appli-
cants for 4 nights lodging to be regis
far the book hasn't even been placed on
the desk. When asked what he thought
the reason for the lack o. dodgers
might be, Lieutenant Hempel summed II
up in the terse statement, TOO much
work"
grants has been working all summer.
and they are still working. Last year
there were lots of idle men and when
winter came on it was hard for them I'd
get any employment but it seems to bd
different this year. Then, too, those Wild
have come into town to stay have made
enough during the summer to keep them
through the winter / don't expect I'd
see many men applying to Us for a piacd
to sleep this winter"

mine Correctness or Incorrectpess
Of Map.

Marion, Aug 16.-Prof. F. Fl.
Colcock, Of the University of South
Carolina, who was named by Gov.
Ansel to test the survey made in the
matter Of the proposed new county
or Dillon, reached Marion today and
with his assistants at once started
out on his work
Mr.. Howard Wiswall, of Charles
ton, became thoroughly convinced
that there were some very material
errors in the map of the proposed
county and in the territory left to
the old county, and he thereupon ran
several straight lines across the
county to test the correctness of the
map. In some places he found that
there were errors of half mile in
width of the county. The errors
found by Mr.. Wiswall ranged from
500 feet to half mile. This matter
was called to the attention of Gov.
Ansel and he submitted all the mans
to Prof Colcock with the request that
he make such tests as would satisfy
him as to the correctness or incor-
rectness of the survey It is very
pleasing to the Marion people that
Gov. Ansel has selected such an ac-
complished engineer as Prof Colcock
to make the tests.

The above returns, although in
complete. are sufficient to demon
strate that Sumter county has gone
dry by less than two hundred votes.
The total vote cast is the smallest on
record in Sumter county where an
Issue of any Importance was at stake
and it is difficult to account for the
the manifest lack Of interest It is
to be presumed that the prohibition
lists polled full vote for they were
well organized, made an active CAM
paign and made an effort to bring
out their vote. The result indicates
that q large number of voters were
absolutely Indifferent to the result
and not to be counted for or against
the dispensVy. 1t is to be hoped
that they win stand. for the enforce
ment Of the law and the suppression
of the blind tigers.
The unreported precincts cannot
change the result, as they have prob
ably not polled more than sixty to
seventy-five votes.

more than one weeks illness, being
taken Ill on Friday. August 9Th with
gastritis. She was desperately i'll

she made since coming to Sumter
about 20 years ago. She was Miss

Rrom the Daily Item, Aug. II.
The dispensary election today was
quiet and unexciting contest and at
2 O'Clock the indications were that
the total vote cast at the four city
precincts would not exceed 45O.
There was no excitement around the
polls, and except for few watchers,
representing the prohibitionists, who
protested the votes of a few citizens
who failed to produce their tax re-
ceipts, there was little evidence of in
terest. The voting went along quiet
ly and slowly and everybody was in a
good humor.
There was some confusion in re-
spect to the law as to the production
OF tax receipts during the morning,
one prominent attorney advising the
managers that the production of tax
receipts was not necessary, and quite
number of citizens wete permitted
TO cast their ballots without having
shown their tax receipts. Another
lawyer produced the law bearing on
the matter and also a decision of the
supreme court which declared ex-
phcitly that the production of the
tax receipt, or proof that all taxes
for the preceding year had been paid
is a prerequisite for voting. Later
on In the morning the attorney who
gave the first opinion withdrew his
adVice and advised that the produc.
ton of tax receipts be required. What
effect this conflict of legal advice will
nave on the legality Of the election
remains to be seen, but as it seems
TO be sort of gO-as-you-please cleo
ton, nothing will probably be done
about 1t. If the dispensary should
win out, contest of the election
would result in prohibition, but if
prohibition should win a contest
would still result in prohibition. con-
~f"St'S IL a case OF noa0S il win
and tails you lose for the prohibition
lists.
While 1t is impossible to forecast
the result of the election with accu-
racy. the general opinion is that the
city will give a safe majority for pro-
hioition' The precincts in the county
are also counted on to give a major
ity Tor prohibition. The outlook is
that Sumter county will go for pro-
hipition by majority exceeding $50,
out or possible vote of 1900. The
prohibitionists are claiming a more
sweeping victory, while some of the
dispensary advocates do not admit
defeat. To those who are capable Of
FORMING an unprejudiced opinion it
seems probable that prohibition will
carry by a small, but safe, majority.

care OF the Corn Crop After Harvest.
ing.

PROBABLY the most important point
20 be carefully looked after in order
TO insure the satisfactory curing OF
the crop, is it's proper shocking.
Too small shocks mean the exno-
sure or too large a proportion of the
stover to the bleaching and destrnc-
1--WE effects of the sun and rain. On
the other hand, too large shocks.
especially is moist climate when the
corn is little too green. NAV prevent
the corn from curing properly.
ohocks little large, however. are to
pe preferred 60 small shocks. for
IL may be safely stated that our cli-
mate Is not too moist to prevent corn
curing in the shock if the corn. is
sufnciently mature and the shocks
well made. In building the shocks
TWO points should be especially look
ed to. The stalks should not be stood
up so that they cross each other and
'he top should be tied tightly by
some means which does not twist the
shock in drawing it up preparatory .o
applying the band. If the shock once
starts to twist, it will almost certain
~ go down, or at least get in bad
condition to shed water. We believe
thls twisting is generally started in
tying the band around the shocks
Opinions differ, but our observation
favors the placing of but one band
around the shock, and tied as high as
II can be placed to enclose all the
tassels of the outer stalks. For a
full discussion of Harvesting and
storing Corn" we advise our readers
to write the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington. d. c..
for Farmers Bulletin No. S13.
The corn should not be left i'm the
shocks all winter, but from four to
six weeks after it is cut, when il Is
AONShis SuIeu anu Tree from all
outside moisture from rain or heavy
dews, it should be hauled and stored.
After the corn is cured in the shock
1t may be shucked, or husked, by
hand, before or after it is hauled to
the barn, and the stover fed whole.
In this way of handling the stover
much of its feeding value is lost from
failure of the stock to consume it:
or. or it may be shucked by hand and
the stover run through a feed cutter
before it is fed. This secures a larger
feeding value from the stover, but is
100 expensive. In our opinion the
pest and most economical way to
handle the crop is to run it through
husker and shredder. The adyan-
tages of this method are that the
corn is husked by machinery and mt
IN the crib economically; the stover
Is torn into shreds in the best condi-
tlon for feeding, and is blown by the
shredder into barn or on to a stack
Where 1T can be stored in the least
space and where it will keep in the
best condition for feeding.-Progress-
