THURSDAY. JUNE 3. 1915.
If the Congress of the United
States is to be called into special
session, it should pass legislation
to prevent the landing of the
hordes of pauper immigrants who
are sure to flock to this country
at the close of the Eastern war.
T" ?
We do not wish to be taken as
advertising the sale of any particular
kind of wire net or screen
doors and windows, but we have
fio-nrod it out that the cost of
one spell of typhoid fever will
pay many times the cost of
screening the ordinary residence.
For the public safety, the city
authorities should put an immediate
stop to the practice indulged
in by some of tearing
along the streets on motorcycles
at a rate of from 40 to 50 miles
an hour. It is a thousand wonders
that some of th ? children
have not been killed o~ seriously
injured by these reckless riders.
Then, too, there is litvle justice
in keeping the automobile speed
limit down u ?2 miles ar? hour
and allowing the motorcyclicts
to run as fast as they care to.
As we see it, there is little
reason for the people of this
country to consider war between
the United States and Germany
as a probability. President Wilson
knows, as we all know, that
were we to enter such a war,
the United States would have to
assume the offensive and it is
doubtful if we could >3ver reach
the shores of Germany with our
soldiers. Germany doubtless
would be glad for Uncle Sam to
declare war against her, as such
a declaration would give her
ample excuse to use her submarine
craft in destroying the
commerce of this country. But
we have a man in Washington
whose head remains on the
balance, without parting his hair
in the middle, and we are not
bothering ourselves over the
situation.
Seventeen-Year Locust.
The cicada, commonly known
as the seventeen-year locust, is
expected to appear in May or
June this year in scattered localities
covering much of the
northern and central States,
lying between the Hudson and
Mississippi rivers, extending
along the Appalachian elevated
plateau into northern Georgia
and South Carolina. This particular
brood made its Inst apnearnnro
in thus ferrifnru in
1898, according to a government
bulletin.
The seventeen-year locust covers
in its range nearly ail of the
United States from the Mississippi
Valley eastward. The
curious feature of its regular
periodic appearances and its long
subterranean life give it perhaps
the greatest popular interest
which attaches to any
insect on thffe continent, and lead
to many inquiries with every
reappearance of any important
brood.
L. A. Harris, a local business
n?an, spent several days of the
past week in Hickory. N. C.
????, ,
A. Friedheim is Dead.
Monday morning about 4:30 o'clock
Mr. Arnold Friedheim,
Rock Hill's oldest merchant and
I one of that city's most respected
and beloved citizens died at the
i Friedheim home on East Main
! street, after an illness covering
several weeks.
He was born in Milder, Hanover,
Germany, November 17,
11836. As is the custom of his
country, he learned a trade?that
i of a dyer. He was one of a
I family of ten boys and one girl.
Mr. Friedheim came to America
in 1857. He landed at New
York, but went on to Baltimore,
where he remained two years.
He then went to Salisbury, N. C.,
where he clerked in a mercantile
! house until the war broke out.
He volunteered at once and
joined Company K, Fourth North
Carolina Regiment.
He was noted for his bravery
and was twice wouuded ? in the
head at Seven Pines, and in the
foot at Chancellorsville.
Mr. Friedheim went to Rock
Hill in 1866 as a representative
of a Charlotte firm. In 1868 he
began a general mercantile
business under his own name.
This continued until four or five
years later, when he entered into
partnership with his brothir,
Julius Friedheim, under the firm
name of A. Friedheim & Bro.
This has continued until the
present.
Funeral services were held
from the late residence of the
deceased Tuesday morning and
the burial was in the family
burial ground adjoining Laurelwood
cemetery.
Cotton Mill Law Construed.
complying with a request for
an opinion on the subject, Thomas
H. Peeples, attorney general,
has prepared the following opinion
concerning night work by
cotton mill operatives in this
State:
"Reference to the statute
hows that ten hours a day or
60 hours a week shall constitute
the hours for working operatives
in any manufacturing establishment:
\ rovided, That the hours
of a single day shall not exceed
11 hours. The term 'a day' as
used in the statute, in my
opinion, will apply to the 24
hours beginning at midnight
and extending until the midnight
following. 1 am of the opinion
that if the night operative begins
work at 12 o'clock midnight
and works until 6 o'clock in the
n ormng, he may be allowed to
begin work again at 12 o'clock
noon and perform five hours
more of labor; Provided, of
course, the entire number of
hours for the week will not exceed
60."
Sleet Storm of Long Ago.
The Anderson Mail publishes
a composition written by a young
lady many years ago telling of a
most disastrous hail storm which
occurred in that county more
than 50 years ago. The composition
follows:
"On the night of the 12th of
February, 1858, there fell the
greatest sleet storm ever known
in this county by the oldest inhabitants.
A great deal of
damage was done to t.he timber.
No hurricane has ever destroyed
the twentieth part of timber
that this storm has. Not one
tree in the forest but that did
not sustain some injury. The
cracking and the popping noise
was terrifying. All the fruit
trees were destroyed, especially
the peach trees. It was remarkable
that few animals were
killed by the faliing limbs. The
ice remained on the trees two
' days, and when the sun shone
' out it looked most beautiful, but
it all disappeared in a few hours."
Germany a Vast Farm.
Germany is said to be one immense
truck garden and farm
this spring. Not in the entire
history of the empire has there
I - t ? *
ueen sucn a wnoiesaie reversion
to agriculture.
Within a month an Associated
Press correspondent had the opportunity
of crossing Germany
from the most remote northeastern
Prussian frontier to the
Swiss boundary in the sou'hwest,
and of traveling through
almost every section of the
country except the southwest.
The story without exception
was the same. In unprecedented
numbers Germans 1 ave turned
out. in the cities as well as the
country, and have ploughed and
planted every available acre,
almost every square yard of land,
in anticipation of a crop that
shall put an end to the rumors
that the country can be starved
