If this be a fact. members of the

The possibility OF holding public

the Capitol building does not appear

against the use Of the capitol by mem

of distributing tickets, free. to such
function would be great. And II no
tickets were issued and the public was
admitted IL Is believed that many dis
agreeable incidents would occur.
Percy s. Foster. chairman OF the
music com asittee, was In consultation
with Chairman Eustis today with ref

concerts IN some building other than

in returns amounting to about $4,000.
II was suggested today that the
president to-be might undertake 20

Columbia, December g.: For sew
eral days Commissioner Watson Of the
department Of agriculture has been
receiving communications from tex
tile plants in various parts Of the
state, asking whether or not under
the law relating to the hours Of labor,
in textiles the operatives could be
worked extra in order to secure GER
tain holidays at the Christmas season.
The law provides without any discre-
ton being left to anyone that lost
time to the extent of sixty hours In
the course Of year may be made up
by the mills, provided that time has
been lost from accident or other un-
avoidable cause" 1t makes no provi-
sions whatever for the making up OF
any time that is purposely lost and
certainly none for time that has not
been lost at all prior to the extra
working. Commissioner Wason yes
terday said that the law Is perfectly
plain in its terms, and every year
heretofore since 1909 when 1t was en-
actei the mills have been advised to
that effect. However, before replying
to any Of the mills this year Commis-
sioner Watson consulted with the at
torney general, and both are Of the
opinion that the law Is specific and
plain in its terms and requirements,
and that no extra work can be done
except for the purpose Of making up
time that has actually been lost from
some accident or other unavoidable
cause. This Is the advice that has been
given the mills. The commissioners
says that he has no discretion in the
matter whatever, and any violation Of
the law will of necessity be handled
Just as any other violation.

hand he carried sheet Of paper,
roughly scrawled. AS he stopped be-
fore the two and cleared his throat,
Mary withdrew herself from Dicks
arms and regarded the official with
brooding eyes from out her white
face.
Burke extended the sheet Of paper
to the husband.
There's document" he said gruff-
ly. Its letter from one Helen Nor
ris, in which she sets forth the inter-
esting fact that she pulled off theft
in the Emporium, for which your Mrs
Glider here did time. You know, your
father got your Mrs. Glider sent up
for three years for that same job
which she didn't do. That's why she
had such a grudge against your father
and against the law too"
Burke chuckied, as the young man
took the paper, wonderingly.
II don't know that I blame her
much for that grudge, when all's said
and done. You give that document
to your father. 1t sets her right. He's
a just man according to his lights,
your father. He'll do all he can to
make things right for her, now he
knows. Now, you two listen. I've
got to go out a minute. When I get
back, 1 don't want to find anybody
here-not anybody! Do you get me?"
When the official was gone, the two
stood staring mutely each at the other
through long seconds. What she read
in the mans eyes set the womans
heart to beating with a new delight.
What he read in her eyes set the hus-
bands pulses to bounding. He opened
his arms in an appeal that was COM
mand. Mary went forward slowly,
without hesitation, in a bliss that for
got every sorrow for that blessed mo-
ment, and cast herself on his breast.
The End.

about me-" he counseled, bravely.
why, 1 amt worrying any, myself
not a little bit! You see, it's some
thing new I've pulled off. Nobody ever
put over anything like it before"
He faced Burke with grin of
gloating again.
"I'l bet therell be lot Of stuff in
the newspapers about this, and my
picture, too, in most of 'em! What"
The mans manner imposed on
Burke, though Mary felt the torment
that his vainglorying was meant to
mask.
Say" Carson continued to the in
spector, IF the reporters want any
pictures of me could l have some new
ones taken? The one you've got of me
in the gallery is over ten years old.
I've taken off my beard since then.
Can l have a new one?"
Sure you can, Joe. I'll send you up
to the gallery right now"
"Immense." Carson cried bolster
ously. He moved toward Dick Glider,
walking with faint suggestion Of
swagger to cover the nervous tremor
that had seized him.
$50 long, young fellow" he ex-
claimed and held out his hand.
you've been on the square, and /
guess you always will be-"
Dick had no scruples in clasping
tha extended hand very warmly in his
own.
We'll do what we can for you," he
said simply.
That's all right" Carson replied,
with such carelessness of manner as
he could contrive. Then at last he
turned to Mary. This parting must be
bitter, and he braced himself with all
the vigors of his will to combat the
weakness that leaped from his soul.
AS he came near, the girl could hold
herself in leash no longer. She threw
herself on his breast. Her arms
wreathed about his neck. Great sobs
racked her
"oh. Joe, joe" The gasping cry was
of utter despair.
Garson's trembling hand patted the
girls shoulder very softly, caress of
infinite tenderness.
That's all right" he murmured
huskily. That's all right, Mary"

voice reverted to it's former fierce
ness in recollection of the treachery
Of one whom he had trusted.
He. was a stool pigeon, and hated
him! That's all, and it's enough.
And it's all true so help me God!"
The inspector nodded dismissal to
the stenographer, with an air Of relief.
That's all, Williams" he said heav-
lily. He'll sign it as soon as you've
transcribed the notes."
Then as the stenographer left the
room, Burke turned his gaze on the
woman, who stood there in posture
Of complete detection, her white, an
guished face downcast. There was
triumph in the inspectors voice as he
addressed her, for his professional
pride was full fed by this victory over
his foes.
Young woman" Burke said brisk
ly, 'it's just like told you. You can't
beat the law. Carson thought he
could-and now He broke off, with
a wave of his hand toward the man
who had just sentenced himself to
death in the electric chair.
That's right" Carson agreed. with
somber intensity. His eyes were
grown clouded again now, and his
voice dragged leaden. That's right,
Mary" he repeated DULY, after a lit
tie pause. You can't beat the law"
He hesitated little, then went on,
with a certain curious embarrassment.
"And this same old law says wo-
man must stick to her man."
The girls eyes met his with
passionate sorrow in their misty
deeps. Carson gave significant
glance toward Dick Glider, then his
gaze returned to her. There was a
smolderfng despair in that look. There
were, as we'll, an entreaty and a COM
mand.
49," he went on, you must go
along with him, Mary. Won't you?
It's the best thing to do"
The girl could not answer. There
was a clutch on her throat just then,
which would not relax at the call Of
her will.
OF sudden, an inspiration came to
him, a means to snap the tension, to
create a diversion wholly efficacious.
He would turn to his boasting again,
would call upon his vanity, which he
knew we'll as his chief foible, and
make it serve as the foil against his
love.
You want to cutz@sout worrying

PARCELS POST IMPROVEMENTS
Important Changes Have Been Ap-
proved for Early Adoption.

Important changes in parcel post
regulations. including general reduc-
tion in rates and increase in maximum
weights, were approved last Saturday
by the inter state commerce commits
sion. The revisions were made upon
recommendation of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, and in majority of
cases are effective January l, 1914.
Books are admitted to the parcel
post weight limits are increased In
the first and second zones from 20 to
so pounds, and In all zones beyond
the second, from II to 20 pounds, and
rates are reduced in the third, fourth
and sixth zones.
The changes in rates to be in effect
January 1, 1914, follow:
To reduce the rates for the third
zone from seven cents for the first
pound and five cents for each addi-
tional pound, to six cents for the first
pound and two cents for each addi-
tional pound;
To reduce the rates for the fourth
zone from eight cents for the first
pound and seven cents for each addi-
tional pound, to seven cents for the
first pound and four cents for each
additional pound;
To reduce the rates for the fifth
zone from nine cents for the first
pound and seven cents for each addi-
tional pound to eight cents for the
first pound and six cents for each ad-
ditional pound;
To reduce the rates for the sixth
zone from ten cents for the first
pound and nine cents for each addi-
tional pound, to nine cents for the first
pound and eight cents for each addi-
tional pound.
Will Promote Service.
1T seems obvious" says state
ment by the commission, that the
service to the public will be promoted
by these changes, provided the reve-
nue. from the service Is not less than
the cost thereof. Experiences seem to
show clearly that the revenue will not
be less than the cost Of the service.
I'VE can conceive of no opposition to
the increased weights and reduced
rates except from the carriers that
transport the mails. We have heard
some objections from them on the
ground that the increased weight
should not be permitted until provi-
sion for additional compensation to
the carriers has been made"
1t Is provided by the postmaster
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-12-09

general, with the consent of the COM
mission. that the rate Of postage on
parcels containing books weighing
eight ounces or less shall be one cent
for each two ounces or fractional part
thereof, and on those weighing in
cess of eight ounces. the zone parcel
post rates shall apply"
This to be effective March 16, 1914.
Consent also was given to admis-
sion of shipments of gold, gold bull
lion and gold dust in Alaska and to
and from Alaska in packages weigh
ing not more than IL pounds. Tne
rate of postage fixed Is two cents an
ounce or fraction thereof for all dis
tances.
"The postmaster general issued an
order effective August Is, last, increas-
ing the weight limit in the first and
second zones from II to 20 pounds
and materially reducing the rates OF
postage for these zones, and stated at
that time that this step was in the
nature of an experiment" said state
ment issued last Saturday night by
the postoffice department. AFTER
these changes had been in operation
for some time, a record was kept or
the number of parcels handled In Il
large number of representative post
offices throughout the United States,
and the reports received from these
offices show that the changes in the
service have been greatly appreciated
by the public"
The statement says of the change
relating to books, that it has strong
ly been urged by circulating Libraries,
schools, colleges and publishers ever
since the establishment Of the parcel
post service as the present restrictive
limit and RI 'es on books are prohibi-
tive to G. t extent except In the
case of catalogues" and that 1t was
not deemed advisable to place the
order changing the classification Of
books in effect on January /, as 1t
was desired to give at least three
months notice to firms whose cata-
logues were now being printed"

They sat around and told pirate sto-
ries in the dusk Of the evening, and
even Captain Butman admitted that
he was worried, and began to talk to
his officers about selling his life dear.
It was September 10, however, be-
fore anything happened. That night
schooner crossed the Mexican's
bows. Next morning this same schoon-
er was plainly visible, lowering to the
windward like a hawk ready to swoop.
It was a long, slim craft and 1t was
painted black, with white band
above the water line. Captain But
man looked at it through the glasses
and the appearance Of the vessel was
anything but reassuring. He counted
thirty men clustered on deck-more
men than any respectable merchant
vessel of that size had any need OF.
The captain ordered more canvas
spread. Maybe it would be possible to
sail away from this unpleasant strang-
er. 1t wasn't The schooner soon
overhauled and headed the unhappy
brig
There were only two small cannon
aboard the Mexican, and 1t soon ap-
peared that the round shot that had
been brought aboard were several
times too large to go into these guns.
So when the strange schooner fired a

decks, Captain Butman ordered his
ship to heave to. Then the schooner
came within hailing distance.
It was flying the flag of Colombia,
and it's captain, after inquiring where
the Mexican hailed from and where II
was bound, ordered Butman to lower
a boat and come alongside, and bring
his papers with him. The captain had
little hope that this Colombian ship
was anything but a pirate, but his
men were unarmed, and there was no
choice. He went over the side with
four of his men, and rowed alongside
the black schooner. Before any OF
the merchantmen could go aboard,
five pirates leaped into the Mexicans
boats, pushed off and ordered Captain
Butman to return to his brig. Before
leaving the schooner one Of the pi-
rates shouted to his captain in Span
ish to ask what he should do with the
American seamen.
Dead cats don't new" replied that
worthy.
Then the boats crew, with its five
ferocious looking passengers, rowed
back to the Mexican. The pirates were
a hard looking crew. They carried
pistols in their belts and long knives,

HISTORIC SHRUB FOR TRINITY
II is a Descendant Of Joseph of Ari-
mathea's "Holy Thorn"


nathea's "HoIy Thorn"
Passersby paused to watch two Of
the Trinity churchyard gardeners
yesterday as they busted themselves
in the old churchyard with the plant
ing of a tiny shrub. A shallow hole
was first carefully excavated and in it
was placed the plant, which to the
lookerson appeared to be nothing
more than a cutting from some COM
monplace tree.
The little plant, however. was sent
from the Abby Of Glastonbury, Somer-
setshire, England, and it is a cutting
from the tree or shrub which in turn
is a true descendant of the famous
shrub known as the Holy Thorn.
The history of this plant dates back
to the year 63 A. D., and in the history
of it's original planting figures the
name of Joseph Of Arimathea. The
legend runs that Joseph. a disciple
of st. Philip, in the year 63 A. D.,
carried a hawthorn stick in his hand
when he went into Great Britain and
this he stuck into the ground 1t
took root and flourished and has since
been known as the Holy Thorn.
The little shrub planted in old Trim
ity is the gift of Walter Sully Of
Glastonbury, who sent along with it
an affidavit Of the head gardner Of
the Abby Of Glastonbury, giving fts
pedigree-New York Sun.

Gen. Broome had sent a message to the
legislature. enclosing important matter
III regard to the Indian disturbances.
The writer says:
"The matter was transmitted to the
general assembly today, and caused
general rejoicing as the action Of Gen.
Harvey has cleared the state from the
duty of protecting the frontier at her
own expense any longer. Things look
now as though the war was either to be
closed without bloodshed, or that a
peace is to be conquered.
Gen. Harvey will have ten compa- l.
nies of mounted volunteers and about
1000 regulars to operate with-a force
which in the hands Of such an ener-
getic and experienced Indian fighter,
must end the war; While enjoying a
cessation of hostilities, Gen. Harvey
shows his good sense in collecting an
increased force with which to strike
vigorous and prompt blows the mo-
ment peaceful overtures are rejected,

Il apprehend, too, that this augment
ed force will operate as a persuader on

of the force is composed of the much
dreaded volunteers"
