before. While not complaining. York

sales were not more than half as much

= Yorkville was in the throes Of a
little Ice famine Friday and Saturday
and the only reason that could be given
for It was that the demand was great
er than the ice people could supply. A
good many private families had to get
along without Ice Friday night and
Saturday morning. very few places ex-
cept the drug stores being supplied
The local dealers secured a car load
Saturday afternoon, however, and af-
ter that time there was plenty for all.
- Mr.. d. r. Lavender. proprietor OF

- The Fourth of July ball game be-
tween the negro teams Of Yorkville
and Rock Hill was an all round disap-
pointment. Arthur Adams, the best
negro pitcher in the county, was in the
box for Yorkville. Adams had gotten
into trouble at Glover, on account of
alleged tigering, and had made him
self scarce. The Yorkville team found
him" and paid half Of his $50 fine In
consideration of his services. Rain in
.terrupted the game after a few innings
and in the resumption Of the play,
Adams walked four men, one after an
other. There had been a story before
the game commenced, that the Rock
Hill negroes had also bought Adams,
the intimation being that they were to
pay the other half of his fine. The gate
money which amounted to about 800,
was to go go per cent to the winner
and 40 per cent to the loser, and feel
ing that 1t was being victimized, the
Yorkville team had the game called at
the end Of the eth inning, and gave
the Rock Hill team $50. SO far as
could be gathered there is no actual
proof that Adams sold out to the OPP
posing team. ''

RURAL ORGANIZATION

Editor, Yorkville Enquirer:
I wish to endorse the views Of Dr..
Dulin on rural organization. I think
that there could be many benefits de-
rived from such an organization. Ru-
raj districts should organize for their
own mutual benefit. Should they want
a measure presented to the legislature,
they would be in a better way to get 1t
enacted. w. p. Boyd.

deemed good legal opinion the
statute is absolutely worthless to
serve the purpose for which it was
intended. When the statute was
examined it was found that there
was no punishment provided for a
defendant charged with employing
a female for more than hfty-fonr-
hours during the week. Another
examination of the statute revealed
the fact that il did not provide for
any liability on the part of an EN-
'ployer for acts committed by an
agent, but that only the agent could
be held responsible Therefor :, in

The Seamen's Bill.

arranged to commence hearings on
the La Toilette Seamen Bill to
begin on December l3. The ship
trust is marshalling its forces for
the purpose of defeating the bill if
there is possible chance 1t will

the Senate some time ago by an
overwhelming vote and during the
Sixty second Congress a Seamen S
Bill similar in character passed the

believed that it will be successful
in changing any of the material
points now contained in the La

Modern composers who lack the fac

sometimes try to console themselves
with the reflection that the melodic
possibilities have been exhausted. How
far this Is from being true DR.. Ralph

short musical form as the Anglican
single chant. which consists In its SIM

than 60,000000 different melodies are
possible, without regarding the multi

and very dear friend. I know where

Three Rirthdaxs a Yaar.

There is apparently plenty of fun for
the child in Sweden In the matter of
birthdays, but the parent can hardly
be expected to feel the same. for the
children there do not confine themselves
to one birthday, but they must have
three. OF course the first one is the
real birthday, and the other two are
those whose names the Swedish boy
or girl bears. For every day In the
year OF the Swedish calendar has Its
own separate name, besides the week
~ names which other nations have.
Sometimes if the parent gives the child
second name or q first one that can
not be found in the calendar, the child
loses out on one birthday. And con-
siderable protest must follow, too, when
the child becomes old enough to real
ize what he is missing. In the German
calendar every day has a name also,
but the observance of these days Is
not at all common in the latter coun-
try.
