girls, too-are collecting flies by the

hottest kind Of rivalry, and making

other convenient places in the city

THE BOY PROBLEM.
Gaffney Ledger Recites Conditions
Not Peculiar to That Town.

OF all the lamentable things to be
observed in Gaffney during the course
of day there is nothing that makes q
greater impression upon us than the
fact that the very young boys Of the
town, between the ages of 10 and 90
years of age, are rapidly becoming
criminals. And this state of affairs is
not so much the fault of the boys
themselves, to blame, but the greater
responsibility rests upon the shoulders
of the parents.
There are a number of stores in the
city where these boys collect, mostly
about Is years of age. They appear
there early in the morning, in fact
just after breakfast and with the ex-
ception of few minutes intermissior
for dinner they may be found there
until a late hour i'm the evening. Of

to have any clear conception of the
enormous amount of filth that car

their hang outs" in town.
This condition is not at all over
drawn. A condition such as describ-
ed, only possibly worse. really does
exist. And as has been stated, the

Dong some SWInolln9.
Suit was filed in the United States

nal company Is asked in the sum OF
$1,337.82, and against the Constitution

still far from being an invalid, has
left the government service on account
Of her health.
AS chief Of counterfeit detectors,
Mrs. Leonard's position in the treas
ury department was one Of the most
exacting in the service. For thirty
five years thousands Of dollars a day
have passed through her hands, bills
and bank notes of a suspicious ap-
pearance, and during that time not a
mistake has occurred. She left the
service with a clean record. Two or
three months ago she was forced to
take a brief leave on account of her
health. She spent six weeks in At
lantic City. On her return to Wash

her physician to sever her connection

Of the bill, 1t was passed on to Mrs.

latter time, 1t was discovered the bill
was a counterfeit, the subordinate was
relieved Of all responsibility, but the
entire amount was charged against
the chief detector, and she was forced
to pay it.
Mrs. Leonard leaves the service
without such a charge against her.
She was born in Perry county.
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Leonard was a
girl, a wife, mother and a widow In
less than two years. Her first husband
was killed during the civil war. In

the treasury. Later she marrr Hi

CHARMS AGAINST EVIL.
Ornaments That Are Supposed te
Ward of Disease and Bring Luck.

Ward UT DlSeaSe ana oTiH9 LuSH'
Perhaps the instinct to avert the
evil eye Is born in our natures. Civil
ization has lessened it to great ex-
tent, but in every race we find such an
instinct exists. The wearing Of nearly
all personal adornment seems to have
originated in an idea Of pacifying eVi
deities.
The savage wears ornaments SYM
bolizing the protective powers suppos-
ed to be able to keep away harm OF
danger. In the West Indies there Is a
bean or seed which the natives think
possesses many valuable properties II
carried in the purse they say the owner
will never want for money; II hung or
a watch chain good luck will ever be
with the wearer. But woe betide the
man who loses his precious charm
The East Indian leaves a tiny corner
Of his embroidery unfinished to propi-
tate the gods; the dusky mother calls
her baby hard names for fear her love
should bring Ill fortune upon him.
In England superstitious country
folks tie amulets around their necks to
prevent disease. Some Of the earliest
of these were skillfully wrought
thousands of years ago and treated
flint much the same as cameo, pro-
ducing varied effects by cutting
through into the different layers of
color. Several examples Of this prac-
tically lost art may be seen in the mu-
scum at Ipswich. They are carved to
represent the heads of men and wo-
men, birds, fishes and reptiles and are
for the most part cleverly and prettily
done.
The fossil belemnites found on many
Of our coasts embedded In the rocks
were once thought to be thunderbolts
and were worn as charms by fisher
folk. Farmers in ancient times decor
ated their horses by hanging amulets
and gypsy fetish charms among their
trappings to insure a good harvest
These amulets were frequently aSso-
ciated with the worship Of the sun
and were of Egyptian, Moorish and
Persian origin.
Although most people profess to
laugh at the idea of wearing them
purely for luck or from superstitious
motives, yet charms are worn still
with good humored toleration and
for reasons none can explain, secretly
favored just in the same way that so

FIGURING ON THE ELECTION.
New Combinations That are Brought
About by Re-Apportionment.

Although the presidential election is
over a year off, newspapers are already
beginning to figure on the probable
outcome Of the contest. With New
Mexico and Arizona admitted into the
Union, there will be, with the addition
al members provided for in the reap
portionment bill, five hundred and
thirty one votes in the next electoral
college, an increase of forty eight The
majority required to elect the president
next year will be two hundred and six
ty-six, as compared with two hundred
and forty-two in the last election. Mr.
Taft had an electoral vote of three
hundred and twenty-one. With the
same states under the reapportionment
the Republicans would gain thirty-two
and those states that voted for Mr.
Bryan would gain ten. The Taft states
by vote would be:

IOldl =. oOo
The Bryan states would give the fol-
lowing Democratic vote:


In the new electoral college, New
York with six additional votes, total
of forty two, will continue to hold the
balance of power between the leading
parties in campaigns less hopelessly
one-sid than the last. With New
York's vote either side may easily
figure out a majority. Under the re-
|apportionment the solid south has one
hundred and fifty five votes.
To win, the next Democratic candi-
date must have in addition to the south
one hundred and eleven votes. If he
carried New York, Ohio, New Jersey,
Indiana and Missouri he would win
with one vote to spare Illinois could
be. substituted for Ohio. In place Of
either of these states the Democrats
could elect with California, Colorado
and West Virginia, or California and
Nebraska and Montana or either of the
DakOtas. Counting New Mexico and
Arizona Democratic, with three votes
each, q successful combination could
lie named with New York, New Jersey,
Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, West
Virginia and Colorado, Montana with
one OF the DakotaS could take the
place of any of the three small states.
Which of the gentlemen named as
the probable Democratic candidate is
the most likely to successfully work
the combination and land in the White
House? The one that has the best
chance Of doing this, Is our candidate,
be he Wilson. Clark Harmon, Marshall
Underwood or some other good Demo-
crat 1t looks to us as If the Demo-
Gratis can win If they will push the
tariff question to the front. With the
tariff as the main issue President Taft
who Is sure of denomination by the
Republicans would be at disadvan-
tage for having vetoed the efforts of
the Democrats to give the people
cheaper clothing and other necessaries
Of life. In our judgment the only
thing that could defeat the Democrats
would be huge corruption fund in
the hands Of the Republicans. The
Democrats should guard against this
danger.
