LEAP YEAR LORE
s.. :" HAS LONG HISTORY
Right of Woman to Woo Dates Back
to Legend of St. Patrick.

i, Away back in the days Of julius
Caesar, about 45 years before our
Savior was born, Sosigenes, a philo-
sopher from Alexandria, after TAX
ing counsel with a group of astrono-
mers, decided that every four years
should consist of 366 days, and thus
there came into the calendar what is
commonly known today as leap year.
The origin of the old custom for
woman to WOO and not to be wooed
during leap year is traced back to a
legend of st. Patrick.
AS the old story goes, the good
man was walking along the shores
of Lough Neagh after having "driven
all the frogs from all the bogs and
banished all the varmints," when he
met St. Bridget, who, with tears and
lamentations, informed him that
trouble was brewing among the wo-
men of her district because they
were not allowed to propose marriage
to men.
st. Patrick was stern, but he of.
fered to compromise by allowing the
ladies the privilege they desired
once every seven years, says The
Boston Post. Then st. Bridget threw
her arms around st. Patrick's neck

south of the point where the tree
stood, till in 80 days more the sun
would reach its most southerly rising
point on the horizon. Then it would
begin to retrograde, and in 365 days
from the tine when the first obser-
vation was made the sun would
again apear to rise just opposite the
tre marked on the horizon. This
method no doubt was sufficiently
crude, but it gave. the approximate
length Of the year. '''--"
Greeks Saw Light.
AS more accurate methods began
t ODE employed by the Greeks they
noted that 365 days did not really ex-
press the correct length of the year.
They found that on the 365th day
the sun fell a little short of rising at
the place it had risen previously, and
that on the 366th day it rose at a
point beyond it. In fact, that on the
S65th day the year was not quite
done, while on the 366th day it was
more than done. They also observed
that the point at which thes un ap-
peared to rise on the 366th day was
about three times as far distant from
the standard point on the horizon as
the point at which it had risen on
the 365th day; hence they concluded
that 365 IA days was the correct
length of the year.
Natures year then consisted, it
was seen of days and parts of days,
while one year must consist of whole
days. If we call our year 365 days,
then it will be six hours short; if we
call it 366 days, it will be 18 hours
too long.

VETERAN, 80, OF MEXICAN WAR
AT WANTS TO GO AFTER VILLA
Greenville Daily Piedmont.

Greenville Daily Piedmont.
Captain Patrick o. Roche (his
friends call him "Pat" for short and
in recognition of his crimson com
plexion and truS Irish traits) who is
one of the oldestwar veterans in the
state, was a member of the distin-
guished party from Abbeville county
that paid their respects to Greenville
Tuesday, having motored through
the country. Captain "Pat" is a
veteran Of the Mexican War of '47-48
and was also valiant captain in the
Confederate army. He said he would
like to close his military career by
going into Mexico and take a hand
in putting the Villistas to rout. He
is thorough in favor of "interven-
tion.". - - ''.. '' ~ .'''>.'
The venerable captain who is
nearing his ninetieth birthday seemed
to be as active as his distinguished
friends with him. They were also of
the veteran class. With him was
Colonel J. L. Perrin, clerk of court of
Abbeville county, who was first
elected to this position shortly after
his return from the Spanish war.
And he has been elected without op-
position ever since. Another member
Of the party was A. M. Stone, who
was first cousin of Sydney Allen,
member of the famous Allen clan
that shot up the court at Hillsville,
Va. Mr.. Stone originally came from
the "Mother State'' and in his con-
versation evidenced his familiarity
with conditions around Hillsville. w.
A. Calvert of Abbeville, and A. D.
Kennedy, of Due West, completed the
personnel of the party. They started
for home about sun-down after visit
ing their old friend, United States
Marshal C. J. Lyon and others who
once lived in historical Abbeville.

Railroa d Conferees
Fail To Get To- =,
gether.
MAY TIE UP ROADS
EMpI oYEEs DECLINE OFFER TO
SUBMIT DIFFERENCES TO AR
sIrRArIoN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NEWLANDS ACTS.

New York, June 16-More than
300, 900 union and non-union railroad
workers of America will vote within a
month on the advisability Of calling
general strike to enforce their de-
mands for an eight-hour day and
time and a half for overtime as a re-
suit of the failure by representatives
of the railroads and the men to reacn
settlement here to-day after two
weeks conference.
Hope of adjusting the dispute
through the conference faded when
the railroads submitted a tentative
compromise offer to the men, grant
ing their demands, but eliminating
the majority of existing "double
compensation" rules. The conference
adjourned yesterday to give, the rail-
road managers opportunity to dis
cuss further their stand on this point,
but when they met the men to-day
they not only refused to make a spe-
cifc offer covering the compensation
rules, but advised that their differen-
ces be submitted either to the inter-
state commerce commission or to a
board of arbitration to operate under
the provisions Of the Newlands Act.
The men declined both offers and the
decision to take strike vote fol-
lowed. ...
Decide on Strike Vote.
The leaders and five hundred dele
gates of the four brotherhoods of
trainmen, engineers, firemen and con-
ductors who attended the conference
decided on the necessity for the
strike vote at secret meeting fol-
lowing the break.
A. Gerretson, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors,
announced later that the ballot would
be drafted tonight and distributed
to all railroad men, whether members
of the brotherhoods or not, before
the close of next week.
The canvass will Iconsume at least
three weeks, the leaders agreed, and
before August 1 the result will be
known. If the men vote for gener-
al strike the leaders will return here
and again present the demands of
the men to the railroads in an effort
either to gain their demands in full
or a compromise offer, without the
necessity of putting the strike actual
ly into effect.
Will Take Five Weeks.
It probably will take five weeks or
more for the strike vote to be COM
pleted. 1t is understood, however, be-
fore a strike becomes effective, if the
men vote in favor of one, the rail
road heads will be formally notified
to give them an opportunity to recon
slider their action.
The union representatives demand
ed the yielding Of their full demands,
The railroads offered counter pro.
position based on granting the de.
mapds, but on the conditions that
there be no double compensation fol
employees doing different classes Of
service the same day. This the Bro
therhood heads declined.
