DAYS EXTRA HOUR
IS CAUSING BITTER
FIGHT IN CONGRESS

New York. May 29.-Marcus NJ.
Marks. president of the National day
light association, today sent appeals to
chambers of commerce throughout the
nation to join in a protest against the
repeal the daylight saving law. A
rider of the agricultural bill calls for
its repeal.
"The repeal of the daylight saving
law will be pernicious class legisla-
tion" said Mr.. Marks. 1T has been
said that a few farmers are opposed
to the act but on the other hand, mil
lions are in favor of the extra hour
of sunlight. In year it has saved
more than one million tons of coal;
minimized eye strain by obviating work
under the glare of gas and electricity:
has promoted general health by giving
light for amateur gardening, thereby
reducing the abnormally high expenses
for food and has lowered the gas and
electric light bills"

'The people are not building more
substantially but they are employing
all of the satisfactory means of fire
control and retardment." said Marshal
Connolly. when l came to Oklahoma
City sixteen years ago it did not boast
q single fireproof building and it now
has ninety. Other cities in the state
are also showing large increases in
the number of buildings built Of fire
proof construction and the installation
of sprinkler systems and other preven-
tative appliances. The reduction of the
number of preventable fires not only
means the saving of the property but
will no doubt bring cheaper insurance
rates.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Negro Baptists of Yorkville have
for some time past had under way
second Baptist church building, to be
known as Shiloh. 1t is. constructed
mainly of a portion of the material
that was in the old A.. r. p. church
building, the remainder of this mater
ial having been removed to Rock Hill.
The new church lacks about ~ per
cent Of completion; but is already in
regular use, us 1t has been for some
time past. ..... -..
- Rev. d. Fl. Waugh, who has here
tofore been dividing MS time between
the First Baptist church of Yorkville
and the Charlotte street Baptist
church, will hereafter give his whole
time to the first Baptist church. This
is the result of q unanimous call that
was made to Mr.. v augh by the First
Baptist church last Sunday. The con-
gregation, which was very weak both
| in membership and material resources
when Mr.. Waugh came a few years
ago, has since been growing steadily
and surely until now it feels that II
can no longer do with less than the
full time of it's pastor. Mr.. Waugh
has accepted the call. The Charlotte
street church which is probably as
able as the First Baptist to support
pastor for all Of his time, will
probably soon follow the example OF
the First church.

Generally speaking that was a very
good talk that Marvin l.. Ritch, Or
ganizer for the national textile union
made to cotton employees in the court
house last Friday night. He especially
stressed the proposition that the main
necessity of organization was to COM
pei respectful recognition of labor, and
he made a number of points that were
quite sound. In fact he was sound IN
most that he said; but why he should
attack the farmers as he did Is not
clear. Even if, as he says, the farmers
are now capitalists, and disposed to be
as unfair to labor as some OF the mill
owners are represented as being, we
fail to see just why the farmers should
be brought into the matter at all. IL
it is a fact that the farmer is now a
capitalist, it will have to be admitted
that It has not been for long, because
formerly, even up to a year or so, he
was down and the helpless prey OF al
most everybody, able to live il he was
free of debt; but not able to get much
profit out Of the fruits of his labor
under any circumstances. Possibly
there might be something in the propo-
sition that if it was worth 90 cents
a hundred to pick cotton that sold at
10 cents a pound, it is worth 81 nun
dred to pick cotton that sells at 4O
cents a pound; but even to that ques-
ton there are two sides. However,
this may be, we do not see how any
tactical good is to be accomplished by
lambastipg. the farmer or course
there are farmers who have their
faults the same as other people; but
generally the farmers are about as
much inclined to do the right thing as
is ANYBODY else in this work day
world of injustice and greed. Accord
ing to our view, because most mill
workers were once farmers, who were
driven from the farms because under
old conditions they could not i've
there. and who under changed condl-
tions may now find it to their interest
to go back to the farms, it seems to US
that the community of interest between
the millworkers and the farmers is too
great to warrant any quarreling, es-
pecially where such quarreling does not
seem to offer any present or future ad-
vantage to either We have no quarrel
with Mr.. Ritch and no desire to inter-
fere with his organization work, even
if we could interfere. On the contrary
we think that organization is the right
thing. We believe in. organization
among the farmers and among the mill
workers. and we see absolutely no rea-
son why there should be any antagon-
ism between them.

Extrayaqance.

One of the most. ruinous sins of the
present day is extravaganza.
The like, probably has never been
known before" in the history of this
country, because never before have
there been so many people who had
more money than they knew what to
do with. A ...,s... ......
The average individual has the want
before he has-the money and as a gen
eral thing he goes after the money
mainly for the purpose Of satisfying
the Wharf.-The especial and particular
want that he may have developed.
That is the rule. There are more
people of that kind than there are OF
any other kind.
When an individual who has proper
appreciation Of money comes into un-
expected possession of money foT
which he has been making no calcula =
tions, he is not upset. He knows that
the money is a good thing that will
keep and he keeps it against the time
when he has need of it.
But when the average individual
comes into possession of money fol
which he was not calculating, he i'm
mediately begins to worry over how to
get rid of it, and if he cannot get rid
of it one way, he gets rid of it another
usually without having anything tc
show for it afterward.
That is the trouble with these times
There are so many people who have
more money than they have ever had
before and they are more worried
about spending it than anything else.
demonstrate with these people about
the purchase of things with which
they could just as easily have left off
and about the only thing you will get
is that prices are so much higher than
they used to be and they got this at
the lowest possible figure.
The idea that they did not need the
article in question at all never seems
to sink in.
But rest assured that all this will be
Strengthened out later on.
All this money which is now float
ing around so loosely will gradually
graviate itno the hands of the people
who know how to econOmize and save
and the people who are now wasting
money on things they do not need will
then find it very difficult to get the
money with which to buy things they
do need.

ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED

Roof Anderson alias Luther Ander-
son, a negro convicted in the court of
general sessions for York county in
1908 Of the killing Of Tom Hill, also
.colored and sentenced to serve twenty
years in the state penitentiary and
who escaped from that institution after
serving part of his sentence, was
captured Monday afternoon by Messrs.
Tillman and Horace johnson and
Sheriff Quinn at the home of Jim
Robbins on Capt. w. l. Brison's farm.
Anderson was engaged in pulling
fodder at the time he was arrested.
He had q .3S calibre pistol in his
pocket and at first he attempted to
deny his identity, although later he
admitted that he was the man wanted.
Anderson said that he escaped from
the penitentiary several years after he
was sent there: but did not remember
what year. After he got away he went
to Ohio and had remained in that state
until last April when he decided to
come back to York county and went to
the home of Robbins near Glover where
he has since remained.
Credit for the capture Of Anderson
Is largely due to Tillman Johnson who
has been working on the case for
some time. 4 reward Of $50 was Of
fered for the capture of Anderson
who is now in the county Jail where
he will remain until the authorities
see fit to carry him back to the peni-
tentiary.
He was convicted of the killing of
Tom Hill on the southern outskirts of
Yorkvi,le eleven years ago. 1t was
alleged that he killed Hill with a shot
gun, following a quarrel that the two
men had in Yorkville.

81 am selling just about as many
gun shells this year as usual despite
the fact that the best ones are selling
at $1.20 box and better" said York
county merchant yesterday. That is
more than cents apiece; but it evil
IDENTIFY makes no difference. Seems
like pretty nearly every fellow in the
country is getting ready to do a lit
tie hunting" .
I'VE are going to make arrange
ments to serve luncheon to the teach
ers Of the Western Division Of the
York county Teachers association
whenever they meet in Yorkville even
as we used to do" said school man
yesterday. "One reason why teachers
do not like to attend the meetings here
is because of the fact that it is hard
for them to get something to eat and
It Is proposed to eliminate that trouble
by serving coffee and sandwiches and
that kind Of thing"
There is one little favor / wish
that the patrons of my route would
do for me and | am sure that every
other carrier wishes the same thing,
said a York mail carrier yesterday
"and that is in regard TO the pactice
of putting coins in the mail box in lieu
of stamps. You have no idea how
hard it is on d mail carrier especially
in cold weather, to have to take of
his gloves and fish down in mail box
for a couple of pennies which are
placed there instead of a stamp. II
would save us just any amount OF
time and trouble and exposure If the
patrons would do that and | am sure
that they would If they only realized
Just how much trouble it made us
Every patron could easily buy stamps
and envelopes whenever he or she is
in town without any great trouble and
the mail carrier would be a lot hap

UP to this time tie cotton association
has been the greatest friend the
farmers have ever had. Differed by
men who have the brains and expert
ence equal to the best that can be
pitted against them, the Association
has been able to hold the price of cot
ton up to a much higher figure than
would have prevailed otherwise. But
the cotton association lacks great
deal Of being as strong as it could be
or ought to be, and it is not nearly as
strong is it would be if every man who
is benefited would contribute his active
support to just 10 per cent. Of the
amount of the benefit he has received.
