WOMEN HOLD
MASS MEETING

The second political mass meeting
of women was held yesterday after
noon and the rooms were crowded to
the doors; in fact, so many ladies' had
to stand. that the organization decided
to hold the next meeting in the court
house.
Mrs. w. T. Beatty was in the chair
and after few preliminary remarks,
introduced Hon. William Coleman,
candidate for governor of South Car
olina. He spoke briefly and expressed
pleasue that the ballot had been given
to the women and paid a glowing tri-
butte to the chairman.
Mrs. Bennie Barron, an adopted
daughter of Union, was asked
to speak on "Union and Her Needs as
I See Them Since Moving Here Seven
Months Ago" Mrs. Barron said she
was deeply interested in civic affairs
and Union had gotten in rlt and
needed the help of the women to up
lift and beautify. She urged that Un-
ion be made the city beautiful, and
that the women cast their ballot for
the men whom they deemed most
worthy to hold high office and would
devote time and pride to Union.
The committees appointed at last
meeting to canvass the town, reported
and the registration is going merrily
on. Some Of the reports were anus
ing. One committee reported that a
woman interviewed said she could not
register for her husband said he would
quit her; another said it was unwo-
manly to go to the polls and still
another that woman's place was at
home with her children.
Reports from the meeting at Otta-
ray, Excelsior and Union villages were
made by Mrs. M. J. Mabry. Miss
Edna Tinsley, Mrs. l.. J. Hames, Mrs.
Edgar Norman and Mrs. J.W. NIixson.

GIVES OPINION |
ON TEXTILE LAW

Replying to letter, from B. Harris,
commissioner of agriculture, Attorney
General Wolfe yesterday render an
opinion in which he holds that the
new 55 hour a week or ten hours a
day law does not apply to might run
ning' if the night work does not ex-
ceed SIS hours in any che week. I'm
my opinion. the restriction to ten
hours per day does not apply to
night running provided such night
running does not exceed So hours per
week." says Mr.. Wolfe.
Some question as to what is a day
and when day begins has already
been brought up and is being dis
cusscd by officials charged with en-
forcing the new 55-hourilaw
Mr.. Wolfe further says that under
q strict construction of. the act and
prevailing customs in the textile
plants over the state, git would be
impracticable to restrict the night
running to ten hours in any one day,
as on this basis this would not per-
nit of 55 hours night work in a
week"
follows:
Replying to your irquiry under
date of March 81 relative to a con-
struction of the socalledf 55 hour per
week act, approved Mafch Is, 1922,
and affecting the cotton and woolen
mills in this state, advise with refer
ence to the night work that, in my
opinion, the restriction to ten hours
per day does not apply TO might run
ning,' provided such night running
does not exceed 55 hours per week.
"The proviso in the fist section of
the act stipulates that the hours of
a single day shall NOT exceed ten hours
except for the purpose Of making up
lost time, etc., and for night run
ming 55 hours per week, This
phraseology is not altoGethey clear,
but inasmuch as the act IS "a penal
statute, and strict cQtstruction Is,
imperative, we would Have To take
the words to mean exacti hsy
say, to wit, 55 hours per yesl tl::opt
STRUNG this in the tiehf S Sestona
prevailing in industries to Wild this
act applies, namely, hst, sof Shut ttiRe
down the plants at I'D " 81 + l|1(
Saturdays and not resS5 Eng until .
o'clock the following Mts'day morn
ing, it would be impractiSable to re-
strict the night running to ten hours
in any one day, as on this basis this
would not permit of SIS hours night
work in q week."

ASKS SOLICITOR
TO ENFORCE LAW

Gatfney, March 23.-The grand Jury
was discharged yesterday afternoon,
after passing upon an unusually large
number of bills, the majority Of them
being for violation Of the prohibition
law. The following is the final pre-
sentiment of the body:
eve have passed upon all the in
dictments handed us by the solicitor
and reported same to the court. We
have appointed committees to look af-
ter ali matters pertaining to the well
fare Of the various departments Of the
county government, public buildings,
county officers and will report upon
same at some future term of court.
I'VE notice that in some cases
where true bills are found in two or
more cases for similar offenses COM
mitted at different times against the
same defendants that said cases are
combined and only one acted upon,
and nominal fine imposed. With due
respect to the solicitors Judgment in
such matters, we believe that in JUS
tice to our prohibition officers that
this is mistake and that such cases
should be tried separately on the evil
Cence presented.
1--WE beg to call attention to the fact
that we are informed that upon a de-
fendant's being brought into court and
convicted on second offense against
the prohibition laws that the statutes
provide for no alternative sentence.
but only for a straight chaingang
sentence, and we recommend that this
statute be conformed to in every par
tcular.
ut is noticeable trat trafficking in
liquor is on the increase, and while
we strongly commend our prohibition
officers for their vigilance and honest
efforts to control and stamp out this
form Of lawlessness, we believe hat
the judges have the master key to the
situation. If punishment is deter
rent to crime, then much severer pun
ishment, not alone in dollars, but in
time, should be meted out to these
criminals"
This report has excited much dis
cussion, especially in view of the
fact that violations of the prohibition
laws seem to be on the increase in
Cherokee county at this. time, The
fines imposed for cases Of this char
acter at this term have already aggre-
gated some $4,000, with number of
cases yet to be tried.
M. o. Fowler, who resides at the
Musgrove mills, was tried yesterday
for killing negro who tried to forci-
bly, enter his house in the night. Af-
ter examining one witness, the court
instructed the jury to write a verdict
Of mot guilty" Solicitor Black
wood hopes to complete the business
Of the term by Friday afternoon, this
icing made possible by the large num-
Der of pleas of guilty that were taken
during the term.

HOUSE PASSES BONUS BILL;
WILL NOW GO TO SENATE

Washington, March 23.-The 81.
0OO,0O0,OO0 soldiers bonus bill was
passed tonight by the house by ar
overwhelming majority. 1t now goes
to the senate, where it's fate is re.
garded as uncertain.
The vote was 333 to 70, or 81 more
than the two-thirds majority neces.
sary for passage of the measure un.
der the parliamentary procedure Sc
lected by Republican leaders for the
expressed purpose of preventing the
Democrats from offering motion to
recommit
Party lines disappeared both in the
general debate and on the final roll
call, 243 Republicans, 80 Democrats
and one Socialist supporting the bill
end az Republicans and % Democrats
voting against it. AS passed by the
house the bonus bill would provide for
immediate cash payments to veterans
whose adjusted service pay would not
exceed $50, and would give the other
veterans the option Of these four
plans:
Adjusted service certificates, with
provisions authorizing loans by banks
in the first three years after next
October 1, and by the government
thereafter; the certificates to run for
20 years and to have face value at
maturity of the amount of the adjust
ed service credit at the rate of 81 a
day for domestic service and $1.25 a
day for FOREIGN service, increased by
25 per cent, plus interest at the rate
of a 1-2 per cent, compounded an
nually.
Vocational training aid after Jan
uary l, 1923, at the rate of SITS a
day, the total payments not to exceed,
however, 40 per cent of the adjusted
service credit.
Farm and home aid under which
veterans may purchase or improve
farms or homes would be paid afrte
July 1. 1923. sum equal to their ad-
iusted service credit increased by 25
per cent.
Land settlement under which lands
would be reclaimed under the super
vision Of a: special board and farm
units established for sale to the vet
Grams at a price fixed by the board,
dssssa ssanasontsof thes aaiasted -serps
ice credit due the purchasers. 81
In only two important particulars
does this measure differ from the one
passed by the house two years ago
and that was shelved in the senate
last July. Tho original cash bonus
option was eliminated and the bank
loan provision Of thn "diusted service
certificate title substituted.
Not since the war days had the
house galleries been jammed as they
were todav from the time Speaker
Gi'1ett's pa-'e' fell at II n. m. until
the last vote had been cast as the
shades Of eveniro gathered. And not
in manv years had such scenes been
neacted on the floor, where there fire.
quently was an uproar with alternate
applause, laughter and tears.
