GENERAL NEWS NOTES.

DR.. H. A. Garfield, in an article
written for Home and Farm, gives
$3.50 per year as the lowest wages
earned by coal miners working 180
days, while those who work 200 days
in the year averaged about $1,000
last year. DR.. Garfield thinks the
compromise which ended the coal
strike "unsound in principle, and a
menace to our institutions"

"What's in a Name?" was the
question that occurred on seeing the
"Million Dollar Doll in Paris. There
wasn't any million, or doll-or for
that matter, Paris. But it was a
rassable musical comedy, with rep
ertoire of only one 'parlor joke" and
the recording angel would hardly
blush on hearing the propergander
joke.
1t was one show where the caste
without exception, seemed to take a
delight in playing. On account of
sickness the chorus was small, but
those that appeared got into the
thing with their whole souls-ano
bodies-and the show was put across
smoothly. The comedy sketches were
splendid and Harvey d Orr, himself,
as "nigger" was ubiquitous and lots
of fun:
Mr.. Verchott is to be congratulated
on the fact that he has gotten so
many "above the average" shows to
appear here this season,
The other day Chief Justice Eu-
gene B. Gary was walking by one of
the new buildings being erected in
Abbeville and he saw negro laying
bricks that he had sentenced several
years ago to the State penitentiary
for some crime or other. The negro
had been a cotton field hand, hardly
earning a living, before he got into
trouble, but while he was in charge
of the State, he was sent up to Glenn
son College with other negroes to
help, as laborer, to build one of the
brick buildings there. While working
at Clemson the negro learned the
bricklayers trade. Judge Gary asked
the contractor about the negro and
among the questions was, chow much
is John making?" The answer dis
closed that the negro was making as
much as the Chief Justice of the
State of South Carolina, who had
spent years of study in preparation
for the bar-not to mention the
money spent for the academic and
law education-and in addition, had
labored for years as a lawyer before
attaining to his present distinction,
while the negro bricklayer had prac-
tically no education and possibly
could not write his own name. Should
this same negro be convicted in court
again the judge would probably hest
tate to add to the H. G. l.. by SEN
fencing him.

This, That and the Other Thing
Fl. G.. C..

Daily Mail was unable to print a ma
per yesterday. The same conditions
held today, to be promptly overcome
by the Genco Lighting Sales COM
pany, who promptly furnished their
demonstration plant to give the office
plenty of light. This outfit consist of
a small gasoline motor and an elec-
trio generator, using a small storage
battery as a demonstration and is the
same type as used by the many pro-
eressive farmers who have bought
them this season. Mr.. Mauldin,
when he heard of the trouble of the
Daily Mail, gladly came to the res
cue, brought up his truck and hitched
his wires to the regular electric sys-
tenn in the office. He was forced to
substitute different globes to obtain
the best results. In very few min
utes, Mr.. Mauldin and his able assis-,
tant gave the Daily Mail an abund-
ance of light.
Power was furnished equally as
quick by the R. D. Henderson, Distri-
butors of the Cleveland Tank Type
Tractors. Mr.. Bannister, who in Mr..
Henderson's absence was ready to
cooperate with the Daily Mail in.
getting out a paper. Mr.. Bannister,
by the way, is about the most ex-
pert operator of a tractor that ever
hit Anderson, is the unanimous deci-
sion of the entire Daily Mail force.
The tractor was brought to the back
door of the Daily Mail Office, and two
skids placed in position to allow it a
runway to get into the Office. OF
course the back door was just an
inch too narrow, and the door frame
had to removed, and then the propo-
sition of running that tractor down
the steps was the question before the
house. The arrangement of this por-,
ton of the office is peculiar, an iron
post set directly in front of the door,
and space of some five feet between
this post and a'stove. What Mr.. Ban
mister did was to run that tractor
down the incline, close to. the post
and then turn on the skids, and with
about an inch on each side, between
the iron post and the red hot stove,
he brought his tractor to the floor
safely. !
Once in the basement. the ma
chine was hitched to the linotypes by
a belt arrangement, and the motor
slowed down sufficiently to operate
the machines. The speed of a lino-
type must not be allowed to exceed a
certain number of lines per minute,
which speed required the slowing
down of the Cletrac motor consider
ably. After several trials, the proper
speed was maintained, and the little
old motor has been plugging along at
the proper speed ever since. The
Cletrac is % horse power, and the
power required to run the linotype
machines is less than two horse.
The press requires about 7 horse
power for its operation, and the Gle
trac is expected to turn the press af-
ter is finishes setting the type for the
issue. The Cletrac, with the aid of
the Genco Lighting System have
saved the day for the Daily Mail to-
day. Friends of the Daily Mail, and
those who missed it yesterday will
surely appreciate the kindness and
accommod odation of our two good
friends in coming to the rescue when
all other plans had failed to deliver
the goods.
