Don't always be criticising your I??-: town and its people. If the town is fe not good enough for you, pick up and move; you never will be missed. I? Governor Ansel has his ,back bone % with him all right it seems. He has % started off well, and we are glad to r0'i commend him. Now let the prose Pg/ cations follow. Mr. Lyon, it's up to BpWU. p/ It looks like good business to us to ifeselect a man for mayor who can and SI* will give at least one-half of his time to the affairs of the town and pay him a good salary for the work. It is hard to get people to work for S - nothing. |ife The cotton mill operatives will no ? doubt gladly welcome the coming of ten hour working day. If the |fe legislature will now pass a compul; ?U wry education law, they will be do^ ing the best thing for the children lll'Gf cotton mill people. It will soon be time for the municiSgl/pal election, and our people.ought Sjpcto be thinking about a mayor and gH aldermen to serve for the next two pi! years. The present council has done E|jpft great deal of work, and its good ppiecord ought to be continued?and pjjinproved on if possible. . The Orangeburg Times and Demo; erat some time ago insisted that Mr. gl^Banks, who had been re-elected to Epihe legislature from that county, Sgkwas a dispensary man, while this newspaper claimed that he was G^agairist the dispensary. He voted "Cw tho r^Qtwr-TV^tlrrfln hill wp notice. Enust have been correct in our ent of his position. mow of some people in Bamho never do a single thing for >d of the town, always critiwhenever possible, and yet lldn't run them out of town, ure nothing but leeches and )uldn't be tolerated anywhere t here. Try to develop into a spirited citizen and do somefor the town in which you our living. not council extend the fire or will they allow wooden ^jr-ucmamgs to be again erected so near Ifelfain street as to be a constant menP ace to the property of the business o f portion of town. In no other town v that we know of are wooden buildfeings allowed so near the business Ipaecfcion of town. A man has no right Ipo put up a wooden shack and thereof ty endanger his neighbor's property. fife The department of immigration ||! asked for an additional appropriation ?f $10,000 this year, instead of $3,000 ||Jrwliich it had been receiving We ^ presume this $10,000 was to pay the transportation of immigrants to I p work in cotton mills in the up coungfctiy. However, the legislature reg,-fused to grant the appropriation, I pand cut it to $3,000, the sum formerallowed. All of which is very Hp good indeed. H'ix \ Infant Immigrant Dies. p Greenville, Feb. 11.?A peculiarly sad service was seen in Christ II Epis6opal church here today when the I rector, Rev. A. R. Mitchell, read the g"; funeral prayers over the remains of sV little Theresa Wilfling, the 18-months . 1 I *1 1 f _ /"I 1 1 ~ Ola cnna OI a uerman coupie, wno 0$. came over on the good ship Witteg land last Saturday. The child was *? taken ill in Charleston and died in > t its mother's arms after the train reached Columbia. The stop in !'v". that city was too brief to permit of i'i any burial arrangements there and p-:; the mother came on to Greenville $? with the body of her little one in her % arms. When the immigrants, who j?> numbered about 25, reached Greeng?v ville Sunday afternoon arrangements % were made for the burial. A new-made grave in Christ's church cemetery marks the resting place of the infant foreigner who $v had scarcely seen the new land when ? it died. W:\- The immigrants who came to |j:; Greenville have all secured work in the cotton mills. | / , : I TO ABOLISH DISPENSARY. The House Passes Without Division Bill to Wind up Dispensary f Columbia, Feb. 11.?Without a division the house today passed a bill i to abolish the state dispensary and -1 wind up its affairs and sell all the stock property in the county dispen- 1 saries, as well as the state dispensary 1 through a commission of 5, to be ap- ( pointed by the governor. The present county boards may purchase from i the commission stocks of goods for * ' 1 5 _ 1? tne new oraer 01 inmgs. Governor Ansel sent a special mes- ] sage to the two houses today an- 1 nouncing that he had acted on the , resolution as to the dispensary direc- < tors and had removed them from | office. This allows the legislature to l elect successors, which it will neglect, 1 ! fail and refuse to do. The house today passed the bill j providing for three lady commissioners for the Jamestown board, one each from the middle, upper, and lower sections of the State. Barn Burned. Bamberg's record of one fire a 1 week is being kept up. Tuesday t night about eleven o'clock the barn ] and stables of Mr. L. C. Price was discovered to be on fire. A crowd a quickly gathered but only the live stock could be saved. There was a * horse and several cows in the barn, . and they were all saved but one small calf which was burned. s Mr. Price had insurance of $125.00 ^ on the barn, which will not near cover the loss. In addition to the t " - * ? ? 1 i 1AA I U ?? f building ne lost aoout iw uusneis ux corn, a lot of cotton seed hulls and . meal, fodder, hay, etc. It is believed \ the barn was set on fire, and certain- J ly it looks that way, for there had been no fire near or in the building. 1 Big Kansas Wolf Hunt. 1 The largest wolf hunt ever pulled off in McPherson county was held i yesterday south of Windom. At the appointed time over 1,000 men were ? in line and surrounded 16 sections of land, and all moved toward the ] centre. Wolves and jack rabbits were started up and when the men ] finally came together in the centre g there were 13 wolves. Those with ] shotguns began shooting them, and then the dogs were turned on them. i During the fight six out of the 13 j wolves escaped and after the fight 1 was over there were seven dead e wolves. There are a great many wolves left yet in the same territory and another hunt is planned for next J1 week.?McPherson Correspondence m 1 r* *j 1 | I xopeKa uapitai.

" H. F. Hoover. ' Strike for Handsome Foreman. ( Because of the discharge of their < handsome foreman, Edward P. Wal- ] lace, twenty-five girls employed in ' the foot-press department of the American Pin Company marched out ] on strike yesterday afternoon. Wallace was known to every fac- ( tory girl in Waterbury as the hand- , somest foreman in any of the shops. ( He always won the prize waltzes at the annual balls of the employees' aid associations, and he was in great 1 demand to lead grand marches. 1 Therefore, when the company saw : fit to give Wallace his dismissal, a , committee of angry young women waited upon the superintendent. He I was firm in his decision. "All right. then." said the girls. "We donrt care to stay without Mr. Wallace." j The company will not make public the reason for Wallace's dismissal.? ] Waterbury, Conn., Dispatch in the New York World. 1 * 1 Look at ?he date on the label of 1 your paper. 3 An inquest was held over the body , of J.

El'minatinn of All Franil From the Polls ? Sr.fcsmard For Illiterate Voters?Reduction of Election Expenses nn<l lireat Saving; of Time In j Counting; Votes. iuoncena xmnn, an optician 01 aiarsufield, Wis., recently- received letters patent on a new form of ballot invented by him which he says will revoltstionize the whole voting systems of the United States. The ballot consists of several sheets of thin cardboard perforated into coupons and stapled together at; the top, says a Marshfield correspondent of the Minneapolis Journal. Each sheet contains the coupons of one party only, each sheet has a different color, and the coupons of each sheet are numbered consecutively. Each coupon bears the name of one candidate for office. There is also an envelope or folder, which may be sealed, having spaces or pockets designed to receive the coupons voted and numbered to correspond to the coupons. Still another envelope receives the portions of the ballot not used. The voter to vote a straight ticket tears off the whole sheet of coupons of his chosen party and places them In the folder. If he splits his vote he tears from the several sheets the coupons of his choice and places them in the pockets corresponding to them In number. The advantages claimed for the new ballot?called the "pocket ballot and coupon voting system"?are that it absolutely eliminates all fraud from the polls, that independent voting Is as easy as voting a straight ticket, that it safeguards the illiterate voter by enabling him to vote intelligently and by making it Impossible for him to make such a mistake as will cause his ballot to be thrown out at the count and, in addition, that it will cut down the expense of the elections to at least one-tenth of that of the voting machine , and to many times less than that of the present ballot The illiterate voter is aided because he can easily distinguish color and number, which is all he needs to do to vote the new ballot He cannot put two coupons in the same pocket and when all the pockets are filled with coupons corresponding to them in number he knows he is done. Color and number being the guides, he has a check on his work, which he can intelligently exercise. The ballot is about one-tenth the size of the present ballot, each sheet or coupons being 6 by 11 inches. It costs no more than the present ballot Experiment has shown that the voter can vote with ease in forty-five seconds. When the count begins the judge finds the choice of the voter arranged compactly in order before him, and he has but to read it off, a feature which will, it is asserted, enable him to count from 100 to 125 votes an hour and save at [ least one-tenth in counting over the present ballot When the cost of the voting machine, interest insurance, depreciation, storage, drayage to and from polls, extras, etc., are considered it is estimated that the adoption of the new ballot will save a city of 300,000 inhabitants at least $15,000 for every election over the next cheaper means, the voting machine. Without waiting for his patent the inventor had a bill introduced at the last session of the Wisconsin legisla - ? AU -J At. - I tore providing ior me uw 01 uie uauvi In Wisconsin. The bill passed, was signed by Governor La Follette and ratified by the people in a popular ref: erendum in April, 1906. It will first be used in the general elections in November. I TO SWIM ALL WINTER. Four Young Hen "Will Take a Briny Dip Every Morning. With solemn hand clasps to cement their agreement Arthur Knight, William Smith, William Johnston and Henrik Neilsen recently organized in Brooklyn the Bay Ridge Winter Swimming club and are now busy endeavoring to entice fellow residents in the neighborhood of Third avenue and Seventy-fifth street into their association, says the New Tork World. As yet they have failed to enlist a recruit The four young men have declined to be discouraged by the recent cold snap and have daily disported in the wavee with the thermometer hovering near the freezing point Knight is a drug clerk, Smith is employed In a local hotel and Johnston and Neilsen are electricians. According to their agreement die men are to meet daily on the shore below the Crescent Athletic club and enjoy a swim. At least ten minutes will be spent In the water. The hour for assembling is 7 a. m. The only ex| ceptions to be made in the programme will be on rainy ana neeiy aaye. Doe* Malta Rock? Is Malta a gigantic rocking stone?
