Here's A Chance For Bache-
lOrS.

Mitchell. S. D.. Dec. 13.-Indi-
ana girls have sent an appeal into
the northwest in order to find hus-
bands. Young women living Ko-
komo. Ind, have formed a society
for the purpose of getting married.
The secretary of the club is to en-
gage in correspondence with young
bachelors of the northwest with a
view to matrimony. The follow
ing appeal was received in this city
and it is given publicity to help
the young women in their laudable
enterprise of trying to establish a
home out of a bachelors shack:
"Kokomo. Ind, Dec. E, 1o1o.-
Dear Sir: This may appear to you
to be a strange appeal, but we
Hoosier girls are told that in the
great northwest there are many
bachelors who would not be bache-
Tors if they could find some girl
who would darn their socks. sew
on their buttons, cook their meals,
take half interest in their joys and
sorrows, and assist in making a
happy home for them.
Now. we know of several
splendid young Hoosier girls who
are accomplished in that line and
and would be willing to undertake
that pleasant task for some bache-
lors of good character and pros
poets, if we could only find the
bachelors. Now, our appeal is
this: You in your position per-
haps know of bashful, lonesome
souls of the above description who
would like to write to us Hoosier
girls; if so. will you kindly make
this information public. Address,
Miss R. E. E., lockbox 3o5, Ko-
komo, Ind.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Chas. S. Barrett Pays Deserved Trib-
ute to Noble Woman.

President c.. S. Barrett of the Ma
tional Farmers Union, sends out the
following letter paying high tribute to
farmers wives:
"To the officers and members Of the
Farmers Union:
Now about that wife of yours, !
wonder If you ever think what an in
dispensable influence she has been for
your own welfare in this world, and
for the general advancement of the
country?
II doubt it. A good wife we are too
apt to take like the sunshine and the
fertility of the fields-as a matter Of
course. Only when all three are miss
ing, do we discover the genuine bless
ing.
The wife Of the farmer it is who
keeps hope and ambition kindled on
the hearthstone, who nerves tired bo-
dies to the work of supporting the
nation, who rears up the men and the
women into whose hands the destinies
of the nation are to be handled.
Il sometimes think that it is only
appreciate the monumental and his
toric sacrifice Of these farm women. If
you will indulge slight personality, I
cheerfully bear witness to the fact that
whatever I have accomplished for the
good Of the brethren in this world is
due to the uuselfishness, the industry
and the courage of the woman who is
my wife and the mother of my chill
dren.
Il know that if ever my sons shall
work well in the battle for common
good, and live as l would have them
live-an example to all men-it Is be-
cause of the untiring watchfulness and
the almost incredible self-sacrifice OF
their mother.
II talk thus that you may look about
you in your own homes and see what
you can do to tighten the task Of your
own wife, the mother Of your children.
IF all goes we'll with the farm, find
out how much Is due to her persistent
toll and forgetfulness Of her own COM
fort. If your children get ahead in
lie-consider her part in their sue
cess. If you have experienced the
common lot of having passed through
poverty and sickness and misfortune
consider how hopeless would have
been the outlook had 1t not been for
her sustaining courage and energy.
They call the farmer the hope and
the support of America.
1T is his wife that is the inspira-
tion of the hope and the bed rock of
the support.
Bear these facts in mind when you
are inclined to be little mean, a little
stingy with the pocket money or lit
tie vainglorious about your own ac-
complishments.
Not all the Carnegie medals coined
between now and doomsday will re-
ward the silent heroism of the farm
women who are humbly uplifting the
agricultural life of the country today.

Joel FaXon, descending leisurely from

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Matters That the Votes Will Pass on
| Next TUESDAY,


There are six proposed constitution
al amendments to be voted on in the
general election November s.
Two of the amendments to be pre-
sented to the people are Of statewide
interest. the one proposing to increase
the supreme court to five members
and the other with reference to mu-
nicipal bonded Indebtedness, a gener-
al amendment. There are two other
amendments proposed on this latter
subject
One of the special amendments has
special reference to the cities of Spar
tanburg, Greenville and Columbia
and the town Of Manning, 1t being
proposed to allow these places to
assess abutting property for perma-
nent improvements.
1t is proposed to add to the end of
section Of article s Of the state con-
stitution as follows: Provided, That
the limitations proposed by section
Of article 10 Of the constitution shall
not apply to bonded indebtedness in
Cured in the towns Of Aiken, Cam
den, Cheraw, Clinton, Edgefield, St.
Matthews when the proceeds Of said
bonds are supplied solely and exclu
sively for the building, erecting, es-
tablishing and maintaining Of water
works, electric light plants, sewerage
system or streets, and where the ques-
ton Of incurring such Indebtedness is
submitted to the qualified electors of
said municipality as provided in the
constitution upon the question Of
bonded Indebtedness"
A joint resolution was passed max
of section Of article be not applied
when the proceeds are used for such
permanent Improvements as are
named above, was also passed. This
is the statewide proposed amend
ment.
AS to Aiken county there was spe-
cial resolution with reference to sec
ton 7, that the limitations shall not
apply provided the amount does not
exceed 10 per cent of the value Of the
taxable property therein for the pur-
pose Of establishing Improvements.
For ST. Matthews the same sort Of
amendment is proposed allowing that
town to build a $4,000 court house.
The increase Of the membership of
the supreme court from four to five
members is the object Of a joint res
olution proposing to amend article 8
of section ~.
The members Of the supreme court
are: Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, Lam
caster; Associate Justices Eugene B.
Gary, Abbeville; C. A. Woods, Marion
and D. E. Hydrick, Spartanburg.
1t is argued that to increase the
number of justices much more work
can be accomplished and that there
will never be a divided court which
would necessitate the calling Of an en-
banc session, as was the case in the
Clinchfeld decision.
Another amendment is to be sub
mitted to the people with regard to
the term Of the justices In Office. That
section Of the constitution is propos-
ed to be amended so that any three OF
the five justices would constitute a
quorum and that the justices shall be
elected for a term Of ten instead Of
eight years, each of them to go out OF
office every two years.
A number Of names have already
been mentioned for places as the fifth
justice.

JOSEPH BARoNDEss.
Russian Jew Who Achieved Death Of
Sweatshop.

Few men live to see their dreams
come true, but Joseph Barondess some
times called crazy and often pursued
| Ey mobs, finally won the battle for the
cause he had dreamed out in his Rus
sian home. We read in the New York
Evening Mail that twenty-five years
ago in a town called Medzibosh, Rus
sian Poland, he dreamed Of the eman-
cipation of the men and women who
| had to work for their living in facto-
ries and he came to America to exploit
that dream. His first efforts were dis
couraging enough. He was arrested
and locked in jail every time he sought
to make a speech, whether 1t was in
Cooper Union or in the open parks. He
| was denounced as an anarchist, and
even as a potential assassin. But:
Today the unions he formed are rec
ognized as the strongest in America,
and the sweatshop system he fought
has been abolished by state laws.
And Joseph Barondess, grown up
from an "agitator to respected Cit
izen," is giving up the rest of his life
to that other highest dream of his race
and creed, the reclamation Of Pales-
tine by the Jews.
There's no forgetting the time l
came to this country" said Barondess
| in his office in Delaney street. 1T
was the blizzard year of 1888. And 1
guess the blizzard was blowing its
hardest when my wife and and our
baby girl looked out of the steerage OF
liner and saw Sandy Hook through
the driving snow.
II had s1O-and my dreams-born of
he fearful conditions Of the peasant
class in E;ro.,e, and OF the false tales
of liberty had heard of the United
States. We got off that ship with alb
solutely nothing else.
"A fine, old-fashioned red-headed
Irishman named Kilyou rented US three
rooms in the cellar of his tenement Ill
Ludlow street, and 1 went to work III
a factory where they paid me IS week
to make thirty pairs of children's gar
ments each day for thirteen hours.
The man who sat next to me in that
shop worked three days without rest
one week because he had baby dying
and the doctor wouldn't come unless
he was paid as he went in the door.
At the end Of that three days and
nights his head fell down on his sew
ing mach.ne-and they took him to the
morgue.
THE sweater wouldn't pay his wife
the overtime. Fifteen minutes later
another man was brought off the street
to work that machine next to me and
the dead mans baby died. know, be-
cause, I went there with three other
shop workers to tell the wife about her
husband. We had just enough left in
our pockets of all of us to buy her
something for supper, along with a
faded five-cent rose for the baby they
were taking away. We got the baby
and the father Of 1t put in two graves
near tog, her in potters field. 1t was
the best we could do."-Literary Di-

they've been doing off"
And as they shot up in the car to the
seventh floor and passed down and
around to the jut in the wall by which
an odd bit of the land had been made
undesirably profitable Agatha told the
tragedy to her new friend.
That was a bad season for crime
tree years ago" the janitor reflected
| There were those dom rascals knew
ais and Smoot, who cleaned out the
poor and thrifty in the very flure
above: sure their rooms haven't been
rinted since for the terrible name of
thin.
"Ah, here we are now: not spacious
but snug and all there, like the coun-
sellors briefs. Can he hev garn with

at his work on this very case, for
there's the shadow of him be the desk.
Wait a bit, my dear, up goes the
elictrics. Howly Mother, miss, don't
faint or scream or nawthin'. 1t may
not be as bad as it looks"
But Agatha Beams's spirit was too
free and constant for that. With but
the murmur Of a moan she sprang to
her stricken lover: she raised his head,
she pressed it against her bosom, soft
ly entreating him to speak. With the
resourcefulness of his rough and tough
boyhood the janitor was at the wash
stand and back with a cold water
compress.
"'Tis but a glancing wound and a
stun, my DEAR" he explained. In
moment he will be himself again."
And as Z in proof of this hope Her
bert Homes's lips moved.
"Knevals and Smoot," he muttered.
rs it so?" cried Faxon, springing to
the window and looking up the well.
"A strong and desperate chap like tfat
Smoot might have done the job, let
ting himself down on the iron shutter
and swinging over; sure Knevals would
niver have the heart even to LUX at 1t.

But why, but why? And If he did
do it, thin why did he do it? Why. be-
cuz of the desk, av coorse, the desk that
belonged to thin, the desk now smash
ed into kindling becuZ boodle-oh, to
t'ink of it-must have been hid be-

kered cove up on the nineteet flure--

glad l am he didn't git 1.-THE desk.
BE all the saints, wasn't he watchin'
at the bind whin moved it in with the
counsellor? And the eyes of him, the
eyes of him-they were, they are, the
eyes of Smoot and no wan ilse. Wait,
dearie, wait, you poor tinder, brave lit
tie creature, and tind your lovyer thrue.
There's work to be done to wanst that
may help him out in the great case
you gev him."
Agatha hardly needed the janitor's
broken words or his hurried departure.
She was laving Herbert's wound, she
was watching life and hope returning
to Herberts face. Then she stopped
short in her thoughts and ministra-
tions.
Her eyes had caught reflected in the
shining inner surface of the watch case
the word "Knevals." No need for pain
full deductions; her intuition told her
at once that it came from her letter,
that it was the word Slavenk reversed.
So too with a deft move did she see
that the reflection of Toombs might
we'll be Smoot. And then like Herbert.
like the janitor, she also knew.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-11-01

1t was more; it was Slavenk pro-
nounced backward. OF course Agatha
had written the name as she had heard
it. as she had so many times repeated
it; but her father in the throes of
death. with his brain confused. had
seen mentally all tOpsyturvy. He had
meant to say that the name of the fu-
gitivc who came imploring his protec-
tion was Knevals; but he had called
him the exact reverse of that name, or
Slavenk.
If this were so then it must follow
that the name of the other man
"Toombs," was equally twisted and
reversed. Homes held the written
word "Toombs" to the mirror of his
watch. but with i'll success. The re-
Election was tumble, unpronounc"able
unless the ID" which made all the
