ate. did not hesitate about the matter,
but voted with the Conservatives.
Some Of the local members Of the
Ancient Arabic Order. Mobiles OF the
Mystic Shrine, were caused TO smile
| this week, when they received the
annual directory OF the membership Of
Omar temple, issued by Recorder Stro-
hecker OF Charleston. In giving the
list Of members from this town. there
are two divisions. One OF these is
given under the postoffice address OF
membership is given under the post
Office address OF York" The eXpla
nation Is that the first list Is OF men,
bers who gave in their addresses be-
fore the name ot the town was mutt
lated, and the second list OF those who
! have become members OF the order
since that time.
Last Sunday afternoon in Greenville,
when Here and There was passing
along Washington street, ne noticed
bootblacks stand. presided over by
q negro boy about IL years old. The
proprietor had six chairs In his out
| fit and OF course six brush artists.
Each OF the six chairs was occupied
by soldier having his shoes polish
ed. Just as one OF the operators
| passed by. Without waiting 10 20
through the for1nality OF passing over
the coin for the job. the soldier custo-
mer made q spring and ran for the
car. caught 1t and was gone. The lit
tie darkey proprietor saw his fleeing
patron, and uttered just one desperate
| wall. "Mister!" with a tone OF despair
OF about the same timber as IL he had
been stuck with bayonet. The pass
ersby laughed.
Mr.. +. W. Love has about twenty
| five acres in vetch on his farm on the
eastern outskirts OF Yorkville, and he
doesn't know what to do with II. Mr..
Love wanted to turn the crop under
as a land builder. as he has been
double cropping the land for several
years. When the vetch was OF the
right height to be turned under. how
ever. the land was too wet and the
work couldn't be done. The vetch has
grown to such a height and the
growth is so rank that II Is practic-
ally impossible to turn the crop un-
der. and consequently about the only
thing that can be done is TO cut the
vetch for hay. The vetch stands
nearly waist high and Of extra heavy
growth and would turn out largc
tonnage Of splendid hay. Mr.. Love
has an offer from a local man TO buy
the entire crop Of vetch just as II
comes from the mower and this Is
very likely the way in which the prob
lem will be solved.
"Of course everybody knows II as
we'll as do but | can tell you that
this labor proposition Is serious" said
q railroad man to Here and There.
Every man on our road Is working
and not q man Is allowed to be of
except under extraordinary circum-
stances. Vacations have been cut
out. The country needs the services
Of every man who can work and ev-
cry one who can ought to be doing
productive labor. / would like to see
all these little towns adopt the Atlanta
plan Of dealing with the loafers. white
and black. rich and poor. Atlanta has
| q card system and everybody must
sign a card showing where he is work
ing and what he is doing. and II any
man or boy can't show card upon
demand, he Is given warning to get
busy and then II there are no results
the authorities take him In charge
and provide the work and see TO II
that he does 1t. Another thing. these
carnivals ought to be wiped out OF
existence and every ablc-bodied man
and woman connected with them
ought to be made to work producing
something. AS II Is they are simply
taking away from those who do work
the money that they ought to be pro-
ducing by real labor"
When II developed in the conven.
ton the other day that the Reform.
ers were not to get any consideration
good many Of them walked out
That was about all there was to do
What representative Is 1t who would
want to remain in a representative
body after he had been told that the
people who sent him were not to bt
represented? All Of the Reformers die
not 60; but most Of them went. Some
stuck 1t out to the end, mainly because
they had business with the executive
committee, which had been called t
meet after the adjournment OF IN;
convention. A little later a man OF
the street who was not q member o
the convention said: Did you SCI
those Bleasites leave the convention
to keep from voting for resolution
endorsing the Wilson administration? 2
There has been a good deal OF tall
about this remark. and we want Il
say that the remark was very unfair
1t was worse than that. There wa
not q semblance Of truth to It, Quite
a number Of Conservatives left th'
convention along with the Reformer
who left after the test vote Of th'
delegate from Bethel township. Ant
as a matter Of fact no formal resolu
tions were ever presented to the con
vention. The only thing in the SHAPE
OF a resolution that was offered wa!
that which has already been printed
and ii was verbal. Apparently every
body in the room, Reformers and al
voted for 1t.
