Tfye truth is that the girls are
getting the better of the boys in
many lines of genteel employment.
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 People Opposed to Immigration.
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.

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.

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

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.
