SUPREME COURTS DECISION.
Dismissed Appeal 10 Nullify Rut-
ledge County Election.

State ex rel McFadden against
State board canvassers, respondent.
Petition dismissed. Opinion by d
E Hydrick, A j."
The foregoing brief paragraph,
which appeared in the daily papers
last Friday under the caption 'Su-
w. |ons," marks the
c at times heat
eL .ne formation of
n to be named "Rut-
ledge with Lake City as the coun-
ty seat. With the announcement of
this decision of the highest court,
what has been a foregone con-
clusion in the minds of those best
posted on the status rerum ever
since the hearing was held in
January, becomes now an absolute
certainty, and the effort to form the
new county along the lines con-
tended for has ultimately failed.
The next move of the promoters
of the new county, we understand
is to hold an election looking to
the annexation of certain portions
of the "Rutledge" territory to
Florence county. Petitions for
holding this election emanating from
citizens of Scranton and vicinity
are already in the hands of Govern
or Ansel, we are reliably informed,
and it is reported that Lake City
will join in the annexation move
ment.
All this means, of course, more
surveys, more expense, more debt
and more taxes, which makes those
who have to foot the bill ponder
as to where we are drifting and
how far we will have to 60 before a
halt is called.

BENSON BREEZES.
Crop Colditions--A Bouquet for
The Record.-Persona Notes.

! Benson, May 16: This is the
month of grass and the farmers
usually have as much as they can
DO to clean it out and let the crops
grow, but for the past few days
the cool weather has materially
hindered both the young plants and
grass from fourishing. However,
we note considerably more i'm
provement in the stands of cotton
than was observable ten days ago.
Corn in this section bids fair for
a fine harvest, if. no serious dis
aster should happen. Most of our
farmers plant on the Williamson
plan," and of course the plants
are being dwarfed, but the stands
are good and the soil is well
broken, awaiting the application of
fertilizers.

Lake City, May 1S:-For several
months, it appears, there has been
growing in this section a feeling that
annexation to Florence county is de-
sirable and to the best interests of
the upper portion of Williamsburg
county. The matter has been spoken
of quietly for a considerable space,
and it has now assumed definite
shape. From all the information OBJ
tainable, the situation seems to be
about as follows: As said above, the
feeling of restlessness and desire to
get ii . Florence county has been
increasing for some time, but posi-
tive steps to express this feeling in
action were taken only lately. Last

was on foot to cut off from Will

Lake township lying southeast of a
line extending from 7 S Lees

PUBLIC CONCERNS
 MUST DEAL FAIR

Washington, December 12.-The time has arrived, in the opinion of Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, when all con cerns engaged in public business should take the public into their confidence to the extent of dealing frankly and fairly with their stockholders by revealing their true financial and physical conditions. The secretary was discussing today that feature of the Presidents message to Congress regarding the necessity of re- assuring the public as to the financial soundness of the country.
 Anything that will promote confidence of the investing public is a good thing for business institutions" declared Secretary MacVeagh. 'I know of no other one thing which would tend more in this direction than for the corporations to deal frankly and fairly with their stoclkhod- CTS by revealing their actual financial and physical conditions. Shareholders
 we an unquestioned right to know how ,oe company in which their money is in- vested is being conducted and how the business stands.
 .There was time not long ago." COR timed MT. MacVeagh. 'fwhen officers and ganizations almost as their personal nronerty. That day has passed.
 "Now the demand is for fair dealing ana open books. Legitimate corporations could have nothing to lose and prob atNv much to gain by following this pol icv' and the public would soon becomt wary of investing their money in en- terprises that were afraid or unwilling to do the same thing.

PERKINS TALKS OF

STUDY LABOR PROBLEM
pIoyer and Employe Closer Togeth- cr-WiT Not Comment on
 Equitable Life

New York, December 12-(Special.)- George W. Perkins. who has withdrawn from J. P Morgan & Co.,, to devote his whole time to profit sharing and other corporate benefit plans, explained in de- tall today the scope of his future work He emphatically denied that his action was caused by any clash with MT. Nor gan.
 'On the contrary" he said, 'Mr. Nor gan is in complete accord with the schemes to bring the working man and employer together, to insure prosperity to both, to obviate the necessity of strikes, to secure perfect cooperation"
 One of the first fruits of his work Mir Perkins said, would be the organiza- ton of an association in which the various corporations which have instituted profit sharing systems will be represented. By bringing together men of the different fields of industry great mutual benefit Is expected to be obtained through the inter- change of ideas.

WOMEN PAY DEAR
 FOR THEIR JEWELS

New York. December 12.-A pearl neck lace worth $S00O has cost Mrs. Ada F. c. Adriance of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., more than $25,000 because she attempted to smuggle it into the country on her re- turn from Europe last August. The terms of settlement in the case were announced today by William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port.
 Mrs. Adriance made no mention of the 1 necklace in her declaration. The cus- toms examiners were suspicious and her
 clothing was searched. The necklace was found concealed in the lining of her hat
 II and some articles of clothing not
 mentioned in the declaration were seized
 and Mrs. Adriance was indicted for smuggling. She pleaded guilty and was fined $500O To regain her necklace Mrs. Adriance
 was compelled to pay the full foreign value of the jewels, about $SOO0, besides the duty, which was about $4O00 more. These amounts, with the sS0OO originally paid for the necklace, the s5000 fine and counsel fees, make the total cost of the necklace more than $25.00o
 Mrs. Theodore P Shonts, wife of tho president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, from whom jewels worth $30,000 were taken when she ar rived from Europe last week. was too i'll to appear for a hearing today MT. Shonts told Collector Loeb that his wife did not believe the gems were dutiable. because she obtained them in exchange for other articles of hers on which she had once paid duty. Collector Loeb told MT. Shonts he would make known his de- cision tomorrow.

devote my time to studying out methods for bringing more closely together the employe and the employer Each cor poration presents a different problem. In the International Harvester company a system of profit sharing, mutual benefits and pensions has been established which
 proved itself peculiarly satisfactory for
 that corporation and yet I should not say that this exact scheme could be adopted with success in every corporation in the country. I think the people of
 the present time are coming to realize that there is no problem confronting us today of so far-reaching importance to our business interests Sas that of capital
 and labor. The way to solve that prob lem is to provide a way by which labor
 and capital may work together. and may
 pull in the same direction, may share
 alike in the profits of their union and
 both be satisfied to. so great a degree
 that strikes, lock-outs and other such
 evidences of friction, distrust and con- flict will be unknown.
 Plans for profit sharing, pensions and
 other systems of like character are
 not unknown in American finance. They
 have been tested from time to iime, but
 most of them have fallen more or less
 short of success. The schemes that failed
 almost always lacked just standard of cooperation. Too often only the inter
 ests of the employer were safeguarded
 and the labo-;ng man did not get his
 fair share. Now, understand me, there is no char ity about the ideal system of industrial cooperation. As soon as charity enters
 you pauperize the labor and take the
 heart out of him. On the contrary, the most successful plan tc bring employer
 and employe together in harmoney is & business proposition, pure and simple. It helps both the corporation and the men, the chief executive and the man who sweeps out the office.
 And this Is brought about in this way. W herever every man connected with company owns stock in 1t, or In some other way is interested in its earnings, such person will take personal fn- terest in the welfare and prosperity of the company. He will have it as much to heart as his own home, which he has bought with his savings"

 less I wanted an arrest made I asked if I might defend myself and they said certainly I hung up the receiver and

COMMENTS UPON
 A SOUTHERN WEDDING

 and MT. Marion Harper Capt Campbell
 King was the best man. The ceremony
 was performed by the Rev MT. WiIlie w. Memminger of All Saints church. The altar was arranged with palms forming
 a background for the canopy of Ameri-
 can beauty roses and lilies of the valley On either side of the white prie-Die,.
 there were high standards topped by bou- i quets of American beauties and I,lies Of the valley. There were also seven branched candelabra in which white tapers burned. On either side of the | clergyman and the Thigh contracting l parties,' the attendants formed a cres- cent, the bridesmaids wearing white gowns and carrying long-stemmed Ameri- | can beauties. And these details are all of l interest, for they are typical of the joy 1 that southern womankind take In plan | ming every detail of a poetic wedding scene discussed long before and long aft | CT the important event.
