In Memory of Mrs. w. C. Carnes

On December 1892, God came into
the home of Mr.. W. C. Carnes and
claimed for his own the dear wife and
mother. ~
Mrs. Carnes was a member of the
Presbyterian church and was chris
tian woman of highest type. She
leaves nine little children ranging in
ages from sixteen years to eight
weeks old. Her heart went out in love
for everyone and especially for her
children who are left to face life's
battles without the helping hand of
a loving mother and that encourag-
ment which none other can ever COM
fort them during days Of trials and
hardships. May they ever remember
the mothers teachings and look for
ward to their meeting on that bright
and happy shore where they will
part no more. All the help was
rendered to the kind and loving moth
or. but as it was Gods wish no one
could save her. She will be greatly
missed in the community in which she
lived.
Farewell my husband and children
From you a wife and mother Christ
doth call.-Mrs. j. G. Holland.

SUIT FOR LOST WAGES

A remarkable Industrial situation
has developed in New York city, as a
result of the bitter controversy in the
garment industry. The employers,
through their Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective association,
sought to put into effect 49.hour
week and the piece-work system. The
employees protested that this was in
violation of their unexpired agree
ment providing for 44-hour week
and the week-wOrk system, and walk
ed out. The employees contention has
been upheld by Supreme Court JUS
tice Wagner, who issued an injunc-
tion restraining the manufacturers
from putting their plan into opera
ton. On the heels OF his decision, and
while court appeal Is still pending,
the workers, through their union, are
preparing to file suits against their
employers for $3,00c.000 to $4,000, 900
damages, representing the wages lost
during the last two months

R. { A. SCORES SHOW
SURPRISING FIGURES
Authenticity of Record Is
Doubtful And Only Given
For What They're
Worth

A study of the score board of the
Mt Vernon Rifle & Revolver Club at
its indoor range in the c. Of G. base
ment on Saturday morning found
some interesting and surprising
scores marked up as Indicating the
result Of the shoot held by members
of the club on Friday evening.
Some shown to have taken part in
the shoot are known to have been in
Columbus attending the convention
of the League of Ohio SpOrtsmen.
That their names appear in the list
indicates they must have gone di-
rectly from the train upon their ar
rival at $3.50 a. m. and that they
must have been in condition that
might have been understandable and
accountable before the 18th amend
ment. At all events they are credited
with surprising, even astonishingly
poor scores. Some of them, seen by
the Banner representative, aver that
they were not near the r. & R. range
and that on the contrary they were
travelling toward their respective DOM
iciles on high speed from the moment
they were on the station platform af-
ter leaving the train.
1t is impossible, therefore, to guar
antee the accuracy Of the figures as
found upon the score board. They
are, accordingly, given only for what
they may be worth, which confessed
ly may be little. These scores are:
c. Van 'yoorhis 1876; vanHorn 1876;
Sevits 1913; v. Van 'voorhis 80; c.
Pipes 4e; McMillen 20o; Quidor Is;
Russell 70; Grossman 1856; Stoughton

THE AUTOMOBILE OUTLOOK

The New York automobile show Is
reported as drawing bigger and more
enthusiastic crowds than ever, with
liberal purchasing. Dealers feel war
ranted in predicting a good year for
their business.
1t is promising indication for
many reasons A public actively in
terested in motor cars can hardly hc
down to its last dollar, and If the sale
of cars is good it means that every
line of business which leads up to
tho sale is benefited.
Perhaps best of all Is the fact that
what was a sadly administered und
inflated business in many respects Is
being put rapidly upon basis which
combines economy in production with
good value. The buying market is al
to demand economy of operation aud
lasting qualities in their cars. 1t Is
probable. too, that fewer people who
cannot afford it will add their uncer
tain credit TO the situation.
