The boys may complain /of this as they will, but the fact .stands. The young women in 'this, and many towns, after a .certain hour, are quite as much in evidence on their way to work jas the young men; and the man .at the window can see that they jlook trim and neat; that they hold up their heads as if they .were ready to meet the world .and their employers. 1 hey have none of the appearance of having .deprived themselves of the necessary amount of sleep or of carrying a headache along with them. Indeed, on a frosty morning it is pleasant to see how their eyes sparkle and how their cheeks glow. They are getting the bet ter of the boys because they can he trusted to come to their work in good form. They may not be as strong as the boys, but they take care of their strength. iney don e smoKe, tney don't chew, they don't drink, they don't gamble, they don't loaf. .Society puts up arbitrary rules for the girls and they must abide by them or lose caste. The boys are suffered to make their own rules and take the consequences. Many a boy thinks he can be gay and deceive everybody, and he runs along until he loses his job. By that time he is apt to think .that somebody has undermined ? him, and to look quite past himself in an attempt to locate the guilty party. Business is always putting up bars against the gay young man. Positions of responrsibility, positions of trust, positions requiring reliability and regularity are being closed to him. He may not see that he is Buncoed bedfciuse he isn't honest, fo*|Jie may Be able to swear with that he f tocJ^^^HP*as a nickle in his life^H^lid not belong to him. But he has taken time that did jiot belong to him. He has had to be sent for. He has not been faithful. He has lied as to why Be was late and as to where he was last night. He has gone on ?he theory that it was nobody's pusiness now ana wnere ne occupied his time outside business hours. Yet the growth of a bad character, if you are at all close to it, is about as obvious as the growth of a corn field. The prudent business man does not always wait until he has a case in .court. He prefers to settle the iittle things with his employes >efore they have gone that far. Business is becoming more and more exacting on the point of individual character. It is looking put for integrity, and it is saying that whatever the head of the house is, the salary list must be plean. This demand opens a wide jdoor to the girls and there is only pne way in which it can be closed against them, and that is to meet .the competition, and by the removal of it through consolidation.

The Spartanburg Journal expresses our sentiments exactly 11 the following plain statements: It may be stated without fear of contradiction from anybody ; who has the slightest knowledge ! of the sentiment of the people ' that public opinion in the upper part of the state is almost unanimously opposed to induced immigration to this State of people i irp.n southern Europe. Sentiment is decidedly against paying the passage money of people from any part of Europe. Any desirable people who will come here of their own accord and are Such as are capable of becoming useful citizens will be welcomed. Anybody who undertakes to pay the passage money of immigrants from northern Europe, such as came on the Wittekind last fall, will simply be out of his money, for such immigrants will not stay here after they come. It is not believed that 25 of the 400 odd who came on the Wittekind at a cost of some $30,000, are now in South Carolina. That expedition was a complete failure, except to the owners of the North Germany Lloyd steamship line. Even these who were the strongest supporters of the immigration movement and who contributed to the fund to bring these immigrants here now admit this. There is not a politician in South Carolina or in any county of it who will dare to risk his political existence on the advocacy of promoting immigration from southern Europe, and we believe the legislature at its next session will refuse to make further appropriations of money for this work. Select Corn Seed Now. In the current issue of the Hartsville Messenger Mr. D. R. Coker, than whom no man in South Carolina is more interested in helping the farmers of the I hnfi fr?llrk\*rir>rr* October is here and farmers will soon be ready to harvest their corn. The corn crop of the country is the best ever made, owing to the favorable seasons and the general adoption of the Williamson plan. The j yield however, is nothing like as good as it would be if every farmer had systematically selected his seed corn for several years past. The time to select seed corn is right now and the place is in the | field. Don't send your hands into the fields to gather your corn until you have yourself gone through it and selected enough seed for the next year's crop. Select only large lowest ears on strong stockv plants. Select ears from plants that are properly spaced in the rows 1 rather than from plants that have great distance, for seed should only be selected from plants that have grown under normal conditions. After your seed has been se: lected from the field go over the ears carefully and pick out a few of the finest. Take only those which are well filled at butt and tip, which are not effected by weevils and which have long grains. These few best ears should be planted in rows to themselves next spring and they will undoubtedly produce a seed I that is superior to what you now i have. The balance of the ears selected from the field should be used to plant the general crop next year; but no selection should be made next vear excent from the rows planted from the few best selected ears and if any one of these rows shows a marked advance over the others only ears from that row should be used to plant the seed patch the following year. The tremendous importance of seed selection and plant breeding is not appreciated as it should be by the farmers of this section and we earnestly urge our readers to heed our advice and begin a system of selection this fall. Nothing that we know of is surer to pay big dividends on the time and trouble required. OUT OP SIGHT.

Ah Alii H Qrvatfinn ?wvu% b?ui tv#uu^ uncci l UiaiUCS* Prof. W. F. Massey in the! Progressive Farmer says that when your sweet potato vines are lirst nipped by frost, they ; should be at once removed, even if not ready to dig, for the dead vines will be apt to damage the roots if left attached. Dig if possible when the soil is dry and the weather is bright and warm. Do not throw the potatoes into a heap and bruise them, but lay them along the rows in the sun all day, gather up before the dew falls. Then do not throw them into a wagon body to be shoveled out, but pick them up in baskets or crates. Slatted crates such as are used for shipping vegetables in, are good for this purpose and if a regalar potato house is made for winter storage they can be stored to advantage in the crates. _ IJ York County News. Yorkville Enqnirer, Fridnv. The friends and acquaintances^ of Mr. R. L. Pierce, formerly of this county, will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at Little Rock, Ark., on October 3. Mr. Pierce was about 70 years of age. Mr. J. Edward Leech, of Hickory Grove, passed through Yorkville yesterday on his way to Dr. Pryor's hospital at Chester, for j the purpose of having one of his ; legs removed. The reporter has j not been able to get the exact ; facts as to his condition, but it appears that gangrene had developed in one of his toes, and made . such progress as to make the re' moval of the leg necessary. Referring to the statement re! cently republished from the Yorkj ville correspondence of the CharI lotte Observer, with reference to the right of way matter as between Flint Hill church and the Bell Telephone company, a member of the church writes that the right of way, was only three feet?eighteen inches on each j side of the posts?instead of six j feet. Also it was understood that the telephone company was not to cut any trees except within the limits of the three feet right of way. I Miss Addie Allison, daughter of the late Col. W. B. Allison, died at the home of her brother-inlaw, Mr. J. B. Barron, near Tirzah yesterday morning at 7 o'clock. Miss Allison was in the 56th year of her age, and was an invalid during the greater portion of her life, because of an attack of fever when still a very young girl. She was a consistent member of Allison Creek church, and though her circle of acquaintances was somewhat limited by reason of her affliction, she was held in high esteem by all who knew her. The funeral took place at Allison Creek church tins morning. Special Constable J. L. Sanders and Deputy Sheriff Quinn, drove into Yorkville yesterday afternoon with a buggy load of plunder taken from a still captured on the North Carolina line yesterday morning. The parties consisted of the officers men-1 tioned and Constable Andy Quinn of Clover. They went into the moonshine country on last Wednesday night on a kind of hit or miss expedition. That is, they had no definite information as to the location of any particular still. While searching along the branches and hollows on the Dickey old place; they located what they were after?a moonshine plant in full operation. It was about 9 o'clock in the morning and in an open place from which the distillers could command a plain view of all approaches. There were three negroes at the still. All of them ran and the officers followed on horseback; but because the nature of the country, were unable to make only poor progress. One of the negroes got away in the brush and the two others escaped across the North Carolina line. The officers destroyed five stands of beer, including 700 or 800 gallons of beer, and brought away the copper of the still, a good worm and several gallons of whiskey in a keg. They also raided the house in which the operators of the still were making their hpflrinnnrtpro onrl VWAW, WiiU i-V/UUU some barley malt, meal and other articles connected with the business. Crazy Cook Causes Consternation. At the residence of Mr. L. R. Boatwright, in Pineville Thursday, there was an exciting scene, one which reached to the homes of nearby neighbors and was frightful while it lasted. Mrs. Boatwright, who since a recent serious attack of fever is able to be up only a short time each day, had gone into her cook room, where a colored girl, Lena Urshery, was preparing dinner. The girl stepped out on the back piazza and returuing caught Mrs. Boatwright by the shoulders and ! with rolling eyes and body shaking from a convulsion which occasionally seizes her, she began to push Mrs. Boatwright through the door. Mrs. Boatwright endeavored with all her feeble I strength to get away from her, and amid the sceeams of the screams of the children, the terror of their mother and the dreadful convulsion of the negro kirl it was indeed a frightful episode. At last the girl fell to the floor and Mrs. Boatwright ran to the front piazza, where she saw a neighbor, Mrs. Dominey, coming into the yard with her baby in her arms. Mrs. Boat- : wright called her to go back as 1 she saw Lena make a wild dash in her direction. Mrs. Dominy turned and ran around the house i and locked herself in her dining room, when the poor suffering girl rushed up the steps and fell the second time. Her mother, | who lives in the village, was sent I for and took her home, but Mrs. 1 Boatwright was almost pros-; trated with nervousness. ?Miss Frances Harris is spending a few days with relatives in Rock Hill. j 4 U&bm / r?00???0?@0? 3vc: ITHE I I i F=sra I g Call on us when n I MILLS < (^030 ?????@@?@< We Feed The If you perish, it is nc ables are here for you, goods for the least moi where and go broke, dor trade with us live well a are not one of them, hur Good Livers.
