NEWSPAPER PUBLIC SPIRIT.

1t is one of the best evidences Of the
public spirit and unselflshnes of the
average newspaper to see The Times
and The Progress Of Union and the
newspapers of Laurens rejoicing In
the early establishment Of free city
delivery. The unselfishness consists
in the fact that said newspapers have
nothing to gain, but god deal to
lose by the innovation. But it Is pro-
gress, and convenience to the pub
lie; so they are not only willing but
glad that 1t is soon to come.
BY a strange hocuspocus ol de-
partment reasoning-not by statute
law.-the minute free delivery is es-
tablished in any city up goes the rate
of postage on every newspaper pub
lished in that city. This does not
make a great difference with daily
newspapers whose circulation is most
ly outside of the county, but it cuts a
pretty big figure with country week
lies and semi-weeklies, whose circula-
tion is mainly in their own county, a
large portion of this circulation being
on rural routes that go out from the
city of publication.
For instance: There are seven ru-
raj routes that go out from the New
berry postoffice. Before the establish
ment of free city delivery Newberry
newspapers, under act of congress,
were carried free on these routes
within the county; now the postage
must be paid Oil them just as on news
papers that go outside the county.
This regulation-not law; for there
is no law for it, except department.
made law-increases the expense of
running The Observer about a dollar
week, or $52 year. 1t will have a
similar effect upon the Union and
the Laurens newspapers.
Not only SO; free delivery not only
takes pretty neat little sum out of
the local newspapers pocket, but it
refuses to do for the local newspapers
what it does for every other newspa-
per on the face of the earth. While
it's carriers will deliver newspapers
from anywhere else to the citizens of
their town, the law does not permit
them to deliver local newspaper to
subscriber. The reason for this is
no doubt, that it was supposed that If
the city carriers were permitted to
carry local newspapers they would be
loaded down with them. That, how
ever, would not be the case; there
might be a few local papers carried
that way, but the local publishers
would not care to wait on the carriers
who go their rounds after the local
papers have begun to get old and

A Machine to Kill the Boil WeeviI.

A special from Winston-Salem to
the Charlotte Observer says:
"Completed and ready for the test,
a machine which, If successful, will
destroy the boil weevil and revolu-
tionize the cotton industry of the
Southwest, is here in the Office OF
the Salem Iron Works. 1t is known
as H. H. H. cotton boil weevil de-
stroyer,' and is the invention of C..
A. Hege of this city, assisted by J. K
Hord, of Yazoo County, Mississippi.
For the last six weeks the two men
have labored increasingly at their
task. On April 18th the patent was
applied for. The inventors who are
both practical men have high hopes
of success. The machine will scarce
ly have a practical and thorough
test before next fall, but it will be on
exhibition at the State Fair in Dali
las, Texas, and at fairs at Shreve-
port, La, and Jackson, Miss.
1.-THE machine is mounted on a
| two-wheel carriage and is run by an
eighteen-horse-pow gasoline en-
CINE. Five switches protrude on eth.
er side, designed to strike the cotton
plant, the shock knocking the boil
weevil to the ground. Two suction
pipes are in the rear of the machine
beneath 24-inch fan, making 1000
| revolutions minute. Leather lips
are attached to the ends of the pipes
dragging the ground lightly and the
powerful suction is intended to draw
the weevil up through the tubes and
against wire screen to their death
Mr.. Hord has been in cotton
planting for forty years and he be
lieves that the machine will practi.
cally work for the destruction of the
dreaded weevil. If so, a vast sum

UNION MEN ARE ARRESTED.
CONTINUED from page ID


Of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
The men were arrested on war
rants issued in the court of Justice
of the Peace Manning, after afidavits
against them had been made by an
attorney for Mcnamara. Drew and
Ford were released under bond of
$1,000 each and Fox under bond of
$4,000. All the bonds were given
by William A. Ketcham, president of
an iron foundry company and officer
of the Indianapolis Employers Asso-
citation.
1t is charged that though McNam-
ara was not turned over to detective
sergeant from Los Angeles until
Governor Marshall had honored re-
QUESTION papers from the Governor
of California, he had not been per-
mitted to consult with counsel or to
make a plea of resistance to extradi-
ton before Police Judge Collins when
he was identified as the man named
in the warrant for his arrest.
Fox drove the automobile in which
Mcnamara was taken to Chicago on
Saturday night to be placed aboard
a train for Los Angeles.
1t was stated that a warrant also
had been issued on the same charge
against Detective William J. Burns
in the employment of the Erectors

She Changed Her Stockings and Her
Mind

An Oregon swain and his lady fair,
after having been engaged for four
years, were on their way to the min
ister's Saturday to get married, when
the bride-to-be discovered a hole in
her right stocking just above the
shoe-top. By the time that the two
had reached the parsonage she decid-
ed that the hole would show when
she kneeled before the minister.
In spite of the protests of the
groom-to-be she babe him and the
minister wait until she could go home
and change her stockings. She had
not been home more than five min
utes before she telephone that he
need not wait any longer. She said
that while changing her stockings
she also changed her mind and haa
determined not to marry.
AS we mortals fatuitiously say of
mortal affairs, what fortunate thin ?
for this youth was the discovery Of
a hole in the bridal stocking. He
need not expect to find a lady who
does not now and then exercise wo-
mans prerogative, to be sure; but
this one is one of those violent exer-
cises.-Asheville Gazette-News.

Dentists Can't Write Whiskey Pre-
scriptiOns.

Greensboro, n c., April 21.-In
ruling that J. o. Roach, prominent
dentist of Madison, N. c., was guilty
of a violation of the State prohibition
laws, Recorder Hastings Of the city
court of Winston-Salem, N. c., to-day
held that a dentist was neither a
practicing physician nor surgeon
and, therefore, not eligible to write
prescriptions for whiskey. A fine of
$25 and costs was imposed.
Under the prohibition laws of
North Carolina the sale of whiskey
is placed entirely in the hands Of
physicians, and to-day's ruling stops
dentists from enjoying privilege
that has until now been practiced
without question.
