the streets on large floats, followed by
hundreds of members of labor unions

HOME BEST PLACE FOR ALL
Outrages Committed by the Militant
8uffragettes Demonstrate Value
of Fireside.
Nothing enrages an "advanced" or
"emancipated" member of the aex
that was always termed "gentle" until
the militant suffragists gave the
lie to the idea than the assertion that
woman's best place is at home.
Nevertheless this is a profound
and unassailable truth. The best
place for woman is certainly at home.
It is also the best place for man. The
children who spend their evenings at
home are, largely speaking, docile
and well behaved and on the fair
road to honorable citizenship. As for
the man who stays at home instead of
"going out to meet a party down the
street," he seldom gets into more
trouble than is the natural inheri
tance of the race. He is quite apt
to go to bed sober, a condition regarded
as helpful in commercial life,
and he is seldom dagged into court
to be confronted with a batch of forgotten
letters signed <fTour own
Oosej Woosey."
Unquestionably home is the best
place for women and for everybody
else, too.

Net Mr. Jones About a Hundred
Dollars.
Saturday afternoon an unusually
large crowd was seen gathering
around a wagon on West Main street.
At first it was thought that some
serious accident had occurred. But
upon investigation it was discovered
that George W. M. Jones, an angler
o* much repute, had hooked somethings
out of the ordinary along the
pictorial line.
It was a sturgeon, caught in the
I'ee Dee river, a few miles west of
here, Saturday morning.
The fish weighed 197 pounds and
was seven feet long. Mr. Jones was
carving and selling as though it were
a huge beef. The price was twenty
cents per pound. A large amount of
roe was also obtained. This by-prodduct,
it was understood, was shipped
to northern markets at a price of
$1.1*0 per pound. It was stated on
good authority that this fish would
net the lucky anguler about $100 in
cash.
The sturgeon is practically boneless.
It's spine is a cartiloginous
substance which may be utilized also.
As a result of this lucky haul, the
hove whn haH laid aside their tackle
for the summer, are rigging up again
and it is expected that the Pee Dee
will he alive with expectant fishermen
