into their offices" to inquire into wage
cuts under the new tariff bill.
This was disclosed in an address
by Secretary Redfield before the ma.
tional association OF employing litho.
graphers in session here.
This association, had warned con.
gress that the photographers would
have to reduce wages If the Under
wood bill became a law.
So that the photographers might not
harbor the delusion that his remarks
about inefficency did not apply to
their industry Secretary Redfield
took up the complaints that have ap-
peared in articles in their trade
journals. After reading these state
ments Secretary Redfield threw this.
into the meeting:
"The community may think these
statements a strange offset against
the other statement that wages must
60 down in order to compete for
these are also your own words"

Additional Funds to Continue Har-
Dor of Refuge Project.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Senator Sim
mons, of North Carolina, today offered
an amendment to the rivers and har-
bors bill appropriating 100000 to
continue the harbor Of refuge at Cape
Lookout. Congress at the last session
appropriated 100000 to begin this
work, which is now under way. In
neither case has the rivers and har-
bors bill as sent up from the house
contained any reference TO the Cape
Lookout project. Senator Simmons
does it all.
Senator Simmons also presented the
official notification from the Secretary
of State of North Carolina that the
legislature of that State has ratified
the amendment for the direct election
of senators by the people, and in sub
mitting the document took occasion
to say that his State was the first in
the Union to take this action.

TWAS ONLY A DREAM.
Conveyance of Property in Lexing-
ton Kills Immediate Prospects
of Road, it is Thought.

Lexington, Feb. 3.-A deed Of Con-
veyance has just been filed for record
in the Office of the clerk of court for
Lexington County conveying the pro-
perties held in this county by the
Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric
Corporation to the South Carolina
Power Company. This property was
conveyed to the Augusta-Aiken Rail-
way and Electric Corporation by G. A.
Guignard and l. I. Guion in 1910.
The property in question consists OF
certain water rights, lands, and privi-
1eges lying along the Saluda River in
this county. The record is voluminous
being one Of the largest ever filed for
record here.
The change in this property means
that there will hardly be any Ielop-
ment of the property at any time soon,
it is understood.
The rights of way for the building OF
an electric road from Aiken to Colum-
bfa have all been acquired, and it was
thought some months ago that the
road would soon be built.

The Repartee That Rims.

Repartee Is q delicate instrument, a
fine product a thing of hints, lights,
and shadows Anybody who does not
believe this, please stand up. Appar-
emily everybody agrees to the des-
cription. Wherefore there is now re-
lated the example of the crudest re-
partee ever INDUCED in by man or
woman, says the Popular Magazine.
It was in western city, a place
which had risen to the dignity of hav-
ing fashionable suburbs" in which the
inhabitants resented the arrival of peo-
pie "who did not belong" One day
there appeared in the community wo-
man who had lots Of tact in dealing
with her neighbors. She called and
called and called on the women in the
suburb which was fashionable" and
strange to relate, she could never find
them Gin"
One woman particularly disliked her
and was never to be seen. At last the
newcomer met the one who had avoid
ed her in such marked manner.
my DEAR" said the avoider, lit is
such pity that when you call 1 am
always out-always."
Responded she who had been snub-
bed:
"Out of your home-or your head?'
"Why, yes, dear but"
Hurry, mother! Edith is going on
the warpath with the Indians
"Edith?" echoed the mother. why
how do you know, dear?"
"Why, saw her just now with big
box and brush, painting her face"

the feshy parts with the mixture; rub

formed, wetting the hand occasionally
if necessary. Be careful to cover all
feshy parts. Sun few hours until
the paste drys, then put into sacks
made large enough to tie up securely
and hang up in the smokehouse, where
it will keep for u months, or longer
if the work has been we'll done. The

meat as l want, and it was killed in
1911 and kept by the above treatment.
It takes from three to six weeks to
take salt if the weather is warm three
weeks is sufficient; if very cold it re-
quires longer time. The old-tine
way was to smoke the meat after it
was taken from the brine or salt-box
with sassafras Or hickory wood from
two to four weeks, usually leaving 1t

How Greensboro Does it.

Greensboro's commissioners played
In good luck with the street paving.
1t was all finished up the day before
Christmas and the only kick one
hears now is that every street in town
and outside-is not likewise paved.
Under what is known as the Hunter
ordinance, it Is up to property owners
when it comes to paving. When so
per cent of these petition the city to
pave street, the city goes at it, these
property owners paying goodly share
of the expense.

A Few Samples of American Justiet

A Few Samples of American Justice.
Florida Times Union.
Justice Howard of the appellate
division of the supreme court of the
State of New York, warns us that
substantial justice is not given by
the law as administered in this
country and declares "the road to
Justice must be made straight, short
and simple without ''toligates. bri-
grands or false signboards'' to pro-
vide tribute, or a revolution is i'm
pending. Here. is a warming the
public should heed and it is all the
more impressive because given with
out denunciatioQ or suspicion Of pro-
1rtical or selfish purpose.
The president of the United States
did all he couldffo shield the robber-
les Of the sugar trust from notice
and punishment, but, in 1903, book
keeper was convicted who claimed i'm
munity because he had given testimo-
ny on another matter to the grand
jury. In 1912 the law has overtaken
that bookkeeper whose guilt robbed
the United States treasury of mill
lions to the profit Of men who have
not been punished because they were
allowed to pay money In extenuation
of crime by the Roosevelt admins
tration-before the investigating COM
mittee ex-President Roosevelt testified
that no compromise had been made
with them and was Immediately cor
rected by Mr.. Loeb. Now pardon
Is asked for the bookkeeper and it
does seem hard that he should go to
Jail even for a year while those for
whom he robbed go free.
Morse was sent to Jail for making
pyramids of banks and steamers
IT is testified that Morgan & Co., made
pyramids which overtopped those Of
Morse as mountain does a moleh1ll,
but who has dared to suggest that
Morgan be indicted?
Brandt is railroaded TO jail for
thirty years charged with crime
he did not commit because he did
commit a crime am influential banker
did not desire to air in court but
Robn who juggled with millions gets
one year 10 Jail. sSickles robs the
State and the graves of old soldiers
and is givan years to make good
shorta ge" although he confessed his
crime long since and does not deny II
now. The State examiner discovers
a shortage of $4,000 IN a bank and
allows the directors to supply the
deficiency by depositing a check
without inquiry as to the guilt OF
the defalcation. The steel trust COM
mits a crime and IS allowed to plead
the invalid grant Of immunity from
the president which can only avail to
stay the hand of a subseryient min
lister Of justice-it seems nobody IS
responsible while the title to light for
property is held good when once it
has been taken by the robber!
These are among the acts of Amer
lean Justice against which justice
Howard warns US and all Of them
fow from republican policies.
