He is very free with the informa-

We have heard so much about his

aroused. We would like to meet the

grown to feel little sympathy for

probably srnall and thin. Her cheeks
are not round and rosy and counten-
ance cheerful as 1t should be. She has
a meek, resigned sort of expression
and she obeys her husbands every
word and look.
1t strikes us that little of that is
all right in its way,but too much
but that is another story. Who are

MOTHERJAND
BABE Die AFTER
STORk'S VISIT
WOMAN TAKEN FROM TRAIN But
CHILD OVERLOOKED AND is
CARRIED ON.

salida, Nov. 16.-Lying side by side
en- slabs in a local undertaker's NOR
gre are the bodies of an unidentified
nother and her babe. Born while the
mother was travelling in day coach
on the Denver and Rio Grande rail-
road, the infant died almost instantly,
and in the excitement, following its
appearance was overlooked and for
gotten.
For many hours the tiny corpse,
swathed in its mothers undergar-
nents, travelled alone, unnoticed and
neglected, the dying mother having
been removed from the train to
breathe her last in the Red Cross
hospital here.
News of the affair was kept secret
until today, when the facts became
Known following the arrival Of the
Infants body from Gunnison where II
was taken from the deserted coach
and shipped back here.
Every effort is being made by the
authorities and railroad officials to
learn the identity Of the deceased wo-
man.
1t was on Monday evening that fell
low passengers on the Denver and
Rio Grande train noticed the wan,
pale look OF a woman huddled in
blankets, who was riding in chair
car. As the train mounted the grade
over Marshall pass the woman be-
came deathly sick, and the passengers
went to her assistance.
Soon the babe was born, and women
passengers administered to the pair.

MISS CLARA HILLIX
WEEDS Mr.. CLAUDE BAUER

A very elaborate and exceptionally
pretty wedding was celebrated at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Hillix,
52s Rudd avenue, at high noon today

eta Hillix, became the bride of Clyde
Maxwell Bauer of Washington, d. C.,

were dressed in yellow and three in
white and each OF them carried bas-
ket of chrysanthemums corresponding
In color with the gown she wore. The
wedding was a chrysanthemum one
and the house decorations which were
ambitious and beautiful, were mainly
in keeping with the hughes OF that
popular flower, although ferns were
largely used TO give contrast to the
predominating color OF he surround
ings. The decorations all came from
Seattle and were the gift Of the
brides grandmother

MISSION OF MYSTERY.

There Is some curiosity in the errand
of an agent of the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, who went up to
Kings Mountain battle ground last
Wednesday, got a sack full Of whitish
looking earth from the roadside and
shipped it away from Yorkville by the
afternoons express.
The agents name was II. II. Ben
nett. He was at the Shandon hotel on
Sunday and in conversation with a
representative of The Enquirer there
neither having introduced himself to
the other, made inquiries as to farm
conditions in this county, asked the
names of farmers living in the best
homes and owning automobiles, and
other questions, but refused to be
drawn out much further than to ad-
NIT that he was going up into Kings
Mountain township to make an exam
ination of certain soils.
Hiring a team on Monday, he drove
direct to a point beyond the Goforth
residence, near the battle ground, bored
two or three holes at different places
with a drill finally got what he want
ed, dug up about fifty pounds of dirt
of a whitish color and of very soft
texture and came on back to YOrkville.
What it all means is not known at
this office further than has been
stated

ing offered, run at once to the old
pocketbook containing the savings
that have been scraped together for
some special purpose and out comes
the cash for some book or magazine
that may not be wanted.
OF course there is no purpose or de-
sire to warn anybody against helping
people who deserve help, and there is
no desire to suggest to anybody that
they should not buy a book or mag
azine they really want when opportu-
nifty offers; but nevertheless there are
swindlers abroad from time to time
and many Of these hard-luck and
struggling ambition stories are merely
trumped up for the occasion. A man
or woman who has helped somebody
who is really deserving Of help, has a
right to feel good about creditable
investment. but when one afterwards
finds that he or she has been swindled
the reflection that some sharper has
taken advantage Of good intentions is
but a poor consolation.
There are swindlers abroad in the
land at all times and 1t is much bet
ter to investigate all stories before
making investments than afterward.
The beforehand investigation saves
money and vexation.

LOOK OUT FOR FAKERS.

During these long August days with
money as scarce as 1t is with the aver
age man. and where the principal con-
Germ of existence is to keep as quiet
and cool as possible, it would seem
that the swindler who has energy
enough to keep busy ought to be enti-
tied TO about all he can pick up; but
nevertheless some of them are doing
very well.
A common game nowadays is the
magazine canvasser who offers special
inducements to subscribe now at re-
duced rates. and who if the rates are
not sufficient inducement. puts up a
spell about being at work during the
summer to pay college expenses dur
ing the winter or to aid a blind father
or helpless mother in the hospital.
When approached with stories OF
this kind there are lots Of excellent
people who cannot withhold their ten
der sympathies and whether they real
ly care for the magazines that are be-

COTTON WEIeHER MATTER.

Notwithstanding the action Of the
county board of commissioners in at
tempting to appoint additional cotton
weighers for the Yorkville market, Mr..
James E. Burns. the original appointee,
is going to stand his ground and If
necessary to appeal to the law to see
where he is at
effect to The Enquirer last Saturday.
Having already rented house in York
vile and having purchased his scales,
ne was considerably Jared at the un-
expected action Of the county commits
sioners in the matter and was at first
in doubt as to whether to proceed any
further; but friends who had not pre-
viously been paying much attention to
the controversy, became interested and
advised him to hold his ground. They
even began to assure him that they
would help to pay the expense Of liti-
cation, and further they claimed that
1t was his duty to fight to the last
ditch.
Mr.. Burns has rented the Lowrance
house on East Jefferson street and ex-
poets to move into it with his family
this week. After that he will make
the best arrangements he can to Sc
cure a location for a platform and to
get things in shape by the time the
cotton season opens good.
AS to what the future developments
will be there is considerable specula-
ton. There are quite a number Of
ers had no legal right to appoint more
than one weigher. They hold with
Supervisor Boyd that the law provides
for nothing of the kind. They insist
also that even If the law did permit
the appointment of more than one
weigher, there is no necessity for such
appointment In the shape things are,
however, it will take a judicial ruling
to settle the matter.
Provided there should be no appeal
to the court or provided the court
should uphold the county board of
commissioners, there Is more or less
interested speculation as to what will
be the outcome.
1t is assumed as a matter OF course,
that the official weighers in the en-
plOyment of local buyers will not
charge the fee the law allows for
weighing. They could hardly do that.
Equally of course, buyers who have no
platforms of their own, but who are
buying in competition with those who
have platforms, will not send their
cotton to be weighed by men In the
employment of their competitors even
though the competitors weigh it free.
Mr.. Burns, the unattached official
weigher, Of course cannot work Tor
nothing, and while some sellers would
be willing to pay him his fee anyway,
others would not. The matter then
will resolve itself down to the rule that
obtains in Gastonia and many other
places, where the cotton buyer pays
all the fees.
Had the complications OF last week
not developed Mr.. Burns would nave
had little difficulty in securing plat
form facilities that would have been
satisfactory to everybody; but now
hat matters have taken dlfferent
shape, more obstacles have arisen.
However, he has several sites in view
and will no doubt do the best he can.
