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

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.
