Terms of Subxriptlon:' Fort Mill *l*hone ttvlth long distance ; connections) No. JC, APRIL 5. 190(1 The Search for a Candidate., j Truly it seems & laborious undertaking for the opponents of Senator Tillman to find a man to enter the primary against the brainy son of old Edgefield. First they suggested the name of Dr. George B. Cromer, of NewVnif a?t? .? 1 I uu-v VUK- UVA<IUI nut born yesterday, so ho declined with thanks. Then they tried to induce Prof. J. G. Clinkscales, | of Wofrord College, to enter the race. Numerous bouquets were thrown to Professor Clinkscales through the columns of two or three of the daily newspapers. It would be a comparatively easy I matter, salid those enthusiastic admirers of the professor, for a man of his forensic attainments to make all kinds of a mop of Tillman; but Professor Clinkscales was not so well informed along that line. S-> he apprised his i well-meaning but misguided friends that he was from Missouri?he had not been shown that there was any considerable demand by the people of South Carolina for the successor of Senator Tillman to be other than I Tillman himself. So much for the excellent judgment of both these gentlemen, either of whom would doubtless make a more representative senator than many ! _r n ?i- ' ui nie men wno are now sliding around in seats in that august body. But this is digressing, and we make haste to note that the aforesaid opponents of Senator Tillman, having failed to con- \ vince .either Jthe Newberry doctor or the Spartanburg professor that black is white, have been beating the bushes some more and now profess to hear a very loud and patriotic voice calling for Col. W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, State soliciting agent for the Georgia "Railroad, to undertake the job of doing things on the stump this summer that will mean the undoing of Senator Tillman. But the genial colnel has not thus far been able to decide whether he prefers Tillman's place or the position he now has. It is certain, however, that he panpot hold down both jobs, just as certain as it is true i that the people of South Corolina are anxiously awaiting his decision. Meanwhile, with our ear to ground we are all but sure that we hear some one in the direction of Columbia making | a noise that sounds like a man agreeing with the author of "Don Quixote" that a sparrow in the hand is worth a bustard on the wing. ? Slopping Over. Just becapse a Miss Peeler entertained the Misses Sheridan and Bishop during the Hasty trial at Gaffney a few weeks ago, ; the young men of that town have min*-, o orr? ' iiiuuv up a |iUi DC U1 purchased a gold watch and, as an appreciation of her services to the actresses, presented it to Miss Peeler. This act on the part of the Gaffney men, aside from numerous others, only serves to show the people of other parts the easy manner in which unknown persons, regardless of former habits or associations, may entor the plape and gain a "pull" with its best citizens. This feature of the affair is also conclusive proof . that Gaffney people are artists the line of slopping over. With the opening of the driveway in the rear of the stores along the north side of Main Street, council should see to it1 that tha dray wagons no longer erowd and pollute the business thowghfuc-, i M Cpporiunit.es of the Print Scop. "We need more help and would appreciate it if any of our exchanges would furnish us the name and address of a good printer.'* The above is an appeal from Editor DeCamp of the Gaflfney Ledger. Sorry, brother, but The Times, like many others, cannot ; furnish the desired information, j There are no idle printers in j these parts, and if reports are true, there is a dearth of such ! help throughout the country, j Granting such to be the case, ; it seems a little strange thatj so few young men nowadays take up the art of printing. One reason perhaps is that with the introduction a few years ago of the lynotype typesetting ma- i chines many men were thrown | out of employment which threw | a. damiKjr on the trade, and dis- , heartened others who had intended to take up the work. There | has never been a time since the dawn of printing when there; was a greater demand for Rood, J sober printers. The writer was j confronted a few days ago by a ! prominent publisher who was. seeking a good sober printer to ; take charge of his establishment, | indicating that the salary of such I a man would be from $75 to $100 per month, and although he had J been looking for a good man for ! several months, had not succeeded in finding one. And not only this case, but all over the country j there are good paying positions for printers. Besides the wages paid the average printer, which orobablv are rot fwronderl in anv other class of hand labor, there is no other work in which a young man can engage that will i bring out more intellect, train! the mind into more practical and useful channels than the printing trade. It has been said, and doubtless truly, that the boy who commen ? i 1 * ces in suen a scnool as the printing office, will have his talents' and ideas brought out; and if| he is a careful observer, expe- ! rience in his profession will con- j tribute more toward an educatin 1 than can be obtained in almost i any other manner. The New Era Explains. The Yorkville New Era makes the following explanation for | its brief mention of the recent I injury to an 8-year-old boy in one of the mills of that town, which was noted and commented upon in last weeks Times: "The news item quoted from The New Era was picked up just be- : fore going to press last week and j it is rather unkind in our Fort Mill contemporary to imitate that The New Era would not as readily condemn the violation of this law in Yorkville as elsewhere. ? I T 1 * w e are giaci to see however that what The New Era had to say a few weeks ago about the viola-, tion of the child labor law in South Carolina has elicited an j expression from at least one State paper condemning this practice, | and we take pleasure in repro- ! ducing what out contemporary says. It seems to us that this is a j much more serious offence from the standpoint of humanity than j the violation of some other laws of which we hear so much of. ; Some of our strenuous blind tiger sleuths might do something real worthy of commendation by loitering around the mills at1 twilight and picking up informa- ! tion to be used by grand juries i in an effort to enforce the child : labor law. It is certainly somebody's duty to see that this law is enforced.'* We wish to assure the New Era that what The Times said was not offered as a rebuke, for we consider our Yorkville contemporary just and fair in all questions regardless of whom they afTect or concern. ( Again The Times finds it necessary to inform would-be contributors that communications which do not bear the real name j of the writer will not be published. This is also an explanation of our failure to publish a communication received some days Ago with only "0. K." as a signature. If yo\A ike The Times, tell your neighbor; if you don't, tell us. ' * ^ ? - / Verdict in Er&unan Case Upheld. | .?.? The State Supreme Court Monday decided against the Southern railway in the appeal of Mrs. Dorothy Brickman, widow of the engineer who was killed in the wreck at Fishing Creek nearly 1 three, years ago. Mi's. Brickman i brought suit for damages and re- 1 ceived a vesdict for 055,000. A| number of other cases resulting from this wreck were compromised. Mrs. Brickman's judgement was regarded by the circuit court, Judge Watts presiding, to be excessive and lie reduced thi3 to $40,000. The railroad company appealed and the plaintiff gets juclgementby the order of the suTiremc court. The York county jury appears to have considered the Fishing Creek disaster an occurance due ! to negligence, for the verdict is . one of the largest recorded in the 1 history of this State. The trestle J fell down with a passenger train : between Rock Hill and Yorkville, ! and the entire train was knocked into kindling wood, several people being killed and others injured permanently. To Legalize Suicide. A bill has been introduced into the lower house of the Iowa legis- ; lfltnr.t in l.ocrnli-7.1 onlnirlo If I .v?w?r? v VW UUlVlUVl it proves that a person of sound mind who is sufFering from an incurable disease, and whose death is oniy a matter of time, may request his attending physician to take his life at once, and the physician will be compelled, on penalty of imprisonment and fine, to call in two other competent physicians and the coroner, and if the four agree that the request is o&tseo UjAiii .in c^ccurato knowledge of the condition of the patient, and that he cannot be cured or his life prolonged without undue suffering, then it shall be the duty of the physician, in the presence of the three men associated with him, to administer an anaesthetic until death results. The facts shall he certi- 1 lied to the County Clerk and reported by him to the State j authorities. Should the next of! kin make the request or join in ! it for tlie purpose of getting the sufferer out of the way they sha 1 be guilty oi' murder in the first degree. Flint Hill.
