WAGES TWICE EACH MONTH
New Bill Requires Seml-monthly
Settlements With Railway Shop
men and Factory Men.

Richmond, April l7.-No intimat-
ion has as yet come as to whether or
not the railroad companies will con-
test the validity Of the act Of the last
legislature requiring wages TO be
be paid at least twice each month,
to employees Of railroad shops and
manufacturing establishments. The
bill which was introduced by James j.
Dreamer, was fought by representa-
tives Of railroads, but passed with lit
tie opposition. A similar bill in the
legislature OF 1910, was vetoed by Gov
ernor Mann because it contained pro-
visions not embraced in it's title.
The keenest interest prevails regard
ing the measure, and inquiries as TO
when it will be effective are hume
rous. Labor Commissioner Doherty
hears from many of those Interested.
AS the measure did not contain
the emergency clause, it will not 90
into effect until June II. After that
date the men in the railroad shops oil
the state must be paid twice month
The law does not apply to railroad EN-
ployees Of other sorts, such as sta
lion men and track hands. Special
exemptions are made Of men engaged
in mining coal, ore and other minerals
or in manufacturing coke or in excel
sior mills and saw mills. But the
EMPLOYERS in these concerns must sell
tie at least once month.

O the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
Please allow me to announce
through your columns that I have
decided not to offer for the position
of Judge of the eighth circuit at the
approaching session of the general
assembly. had thought that I would
be a candidate for the place, but after
mature consideration, l have reached
the conclusion that I could not az
ford 10 give up my practice to hold
the Office of, circuit judge. The sal
ary attached to the Office, $4,000, is so
small, that viewed from my stand
point, only rich man can afford to
hold it, I thank my many friends,
both in and out of the legislature, for
their kind offers of support, but I do
not think I could afford to hold the
office at the present time, and will
therefore not offer for the place.,

Over a Million Needed.

The report Of the asylum commls-

One of the important matters is the
report of Comptroller General Jones
as to what will be needed to run the
government another year. Each de-
partment head transmits to the Comp
troller general an estimate of what
will be needed for his department and
this information is transmitted by that
official to the ways and means commit
tee. of the house and the finance COM
mittee of the senate and used by them
in making up the appropriation meas
ures. 1t will take over $1,0O0,O00 to
run the State another year.
The coming week, which IS the eve
of the convening of the legislature,
will find everybody busy rounding up
details and getting everything IN
shape for the opening of the general
assembly for 1912.

FARMERS UNION.
Will Meet Saturday. Full Attend
ance is Urged-Matters OF I'M
DOrtance.

To the Members of the Farmers Un-
ion of Newberry County:
We wish to call especial attention
to our first meeting for the new year
to be held next Saturday, January g.,
at II o'clock a. m.
It is an important meeting. Many
matters of value and interest to every
one should be considered, namely, the
election of officers, the purchase OF
fertilizers, the manner and time OF
payment of notes, whether there shall
be- decrease in the quantity TO be
used; the reduction in the acreage OF
cotton, the best. plan to get our lar
mers aroused on this matter; the best
plan for warehousing and marketing
the next crop of cotton, and many
kindred subjects. s->~.
If there ever was time In the his
tory of farmers organizations when
unbroken ranks and unfaltering loyal
ty were needed, that time is now the
crucial moment in the life of the Far
nrers' union. Other organizations,
some of far less value to the general
public than ours, have lived and sue
ceeded,. why should not the Farmers
union be equal to the test?
Let US come together at this the
beginning of the new year, forgetting
the losses and disappointments OF the
past disastrous one, and look firmly
! to the future; devising large things
that will insure our protection and
I interests. Remember the date, Sat
urday, January 6, 1912.
