Gentlemen: You will find enclosed check to pay for our advertisement In your paper. This ad. brought us some good business, and we find The Gazette a bright and live paper. Truly Yours, PALMORE'S COLLECTING AGENCY, 911 Main St , Richmond, Va. Kick the Printer U rtr not! r manv .'in the city of Brook Y., there lias been vcars a con- sifinboard out office which reads, "KICK THE rillXTKR." MiLul'Mis persons poineliuips p inside to carry out the apparent request, but they dis cover that the printer is a gentleman by the name of Kick. In every town there are persons who, if they do not actually feel like kicking the printer tho newspaper man at any rate do a lot of kick ing at the way ho con ducts his paper. Please DOX'T kick the printer; he is doing the best he can. And what he does for the town and community, despite his occasional mis takes, may be a great deal more than the kickers themselves are doing. Did HI AT ever occur to you? We are all neighbors in this town. What helps one helps the others. What hurts one hurts the others. Every community is a mutual benefit association, whether organ ized or just running wild. The printer is a charter member. If you had no printer no newspaper how would you like that ? Do you know what happens to towns that don't rapport a newspaper t Nothing happens. Nothing ever happens in a town like that As Boon as things "begin to happen in a town the newspaper comes along and tella about them. . The newspaper boosts the town. It records progress and offers suggestions, by the editor or the readers, as to further progress. Every copy of every issue advertises the town. This is all free advertisement It eosta the town nothing. It costs the people nothing. It is a part of tho business. . . In view of this facV which nobody can dispute, it is much better to pat . the printer on the shoulder now and then or to rpeak kindly of him than to kick him. XI r XO: DOX'T KICK THE PRINTER. 1 What's Dolnf Amonf our Nelfh ben Just Across the Line. Yorkville Enquirer. 13th. . : Mr, W. II. Stewart, of Rock Hill, is quite sick with appends cms. Rev. Dr. J. II. Thorn well, of Fort Mill, was in York ville yesterday, Miss Vera Randleman. of Kings Mountain is visiting , the family of Mr, Brooks Ioman. Miss Amelia Kennedy left Tuesday 1 for Laurens to resume her work in the Graded school at that p!ace. Prof. W. I. Weber, re cently elected president of Cen tenary college at Shreveport, La., is in Yorkville v on a visit to his father. Rev. Dr. ST A. Web er: Rev. J. M. Rodgers arrived in Yorkville Thursday to take charge of Yorkville circnit vice Rev. E. K. Hardin, who has given up his work in order to take a post ' graduate course at Piinceton. Dr. J. H. Save is in quite a serious condition at bis home at Sharon by reason of a spider bite inflicted some days ago. The bite was followed by considerable swelling and later blood poison developed. The doctor has been confined to his bed since Wednesday night. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Tbomasson, of Mecklenburg county, N. C, are on a visit to relatives and friends at Clover. Mr. Tbotn asson spent yesterday in York ville, the guest of Mr. Thomas Clawsou. It was bis first visit to Yorkville in thirtv years and he noted quite a number of changes. Sheriff Brown said yesterday that he understood that Mr. R. F. Carroll has recoveied the horse that was stolen from him recently. The animal was found at Dallas, N. C. The sheriff, however, had no particulars as to whether or not the thief who stole the horse has been run to earth. Mr. Neely M. Grant, one of the county's best known and most substantial citizerv died at his home between Armenia and New Hope Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock. He was about 80 years old. Mr. Grant had been in failing health for several years, but his condition was not regarded serious until a few weeks ago. The funeral ser vices were held at Armenia yes- ; ACADEMIC COSTUMES. SOLAR INFLUENCE. Square Cap er Berretta Heed Survival ' af the Anelsnt Cop. Academic costume was originally the ordinary dress of the period la which It was prescribed. Mediaeval statutes were directed not to tho, wearing of as particular robe, but agalust 'ex travagant taiite la or deficiencies of dress. At Heidelberg, for lustance stu dents were forbidden to go out without boots "unless clad In a garment reach ing to tbe thesis." .The most purely academic part of the costume was the Square cap or berretta, with a tuft on the top. (in Ilea of the very modern tassel), which was the distinctive badge of the mastership. . Its posses sion wss much coveted, and, according to one autnonty, "it is omy in post mediaeval times that the berretta, first without then with, the sacred 'apex,' has been usurped, first by bachelors, then by undergraduates snd now (out side the universities) by- mere choris ters or school boys." . Ths gown, or toga, on the other hand, was an un ofllcial robe or cassock of various col ors, the favorite at Oxford . being 'green, bine or blood color," The nood is a survival of the ancient eappa, or cope, which Is still to be seen tn the official robes of the chancellor of Cambridge. It formed part of the- gar ment, like the cowl of a monk's robe, snd wss not restricted to graduates, being the ordinary clerical dress, and not even exclusively clerical "It is only the material of the hood which was characteristic of degree or offlce." the use of mlnever,fH instance,' being confined to msstersSllk hoods came in perhaps toward the end of the four teenth century as a summer alterna tive for masters, whose winter fur hoods were something more than an honorary appendage In the unwarmed schools snd churches of mediaeval times." At Oxford undergraduates lost their hoods In 148a but It was not till "about the beginning of Queen Elisa beth's reign" that the masters and stewards of Incorporated societies, who also wore them, "cast them off their heads snd hung them on their shoul ders. "Dundee Advertiser. It Is Difficult For a Firs te Burn In .' . ..vthe Sunlight-' v "Did you ever know that fires don't burn as well In sunlight ss they do In the shade or at night ?'?' asked my friend, the man much given to hunting and fishing. "Of course they rtou't seem to because of the greater light from the tan, but I mean ss an actual fact they don't. I noticed this thing" when on a hunting trip up In Maine first; and how. It happened to attract my attentlou was that the fire went out. totally out, before the sticks were entirely consumed. The wood was dry and resinous, and there was no reason why every particle of It shouldn't have burned. The guide told me he bad no ticed the same sort of thing Innumer able times when fires were burning In the sunlight, and this started me on ah Investigation which proved In actual practice that open fires not only don't burn so well when the sun's rays are shining on them and fall to throw out as much heat by thermometrlc tests, but often are actually extinguished by the sun If the rays are bright and strong enough. Coal fires are affected Just the same as wood. Strange to say, several scientists to whom I bsve ap pealed asserted that Hie sun's rays could have no effect whatever on a fire. They do, however. I know this beyond all shadow of doubt, and I wonder what the reason Is. Other sci entists say It's because the heat of the sun adds to the consumption of oxygen of the atmosphere which Is necessary to a blase and also produces carbon, whicluAelps to extinguish the flre.

The thirty-ninth annual ses sion of the York Baptist associ ation convened with Oak Grove church, about seven miles north west of Fort Mill, on last Tues day. Oak Grove is in Steele Creek township in Mecklenburg ccunty, N. C, and- about one half mile from the dividing line between North and South Car olina, and while a large ma jority of the members live in Mecklenburg county, most of them were dismissed from Flint Hill church, in York county'in 1903 for the purpose of organiz ing Oak Grove. The introduc tory sermon was preached by Rev. I. G. Murry, pastor of the Yorkville Baptist church. Little David E. Ernest, the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs J. D. Glass, died at his parents' home at Edgemoor. Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock as the re sult of injuries sustained several weeks ago from being kicked by a horse. For several days after the accident the little fellow's life hung in the balance, but by and by the tide seemed to turn and he began to improve. Al though be seemed to improve in some respects, however, it was noticed that bis powers of speech were gone. Then came relapse, and after a long and anxious period during which everything possible was done the little fellow's relief death came as an end to the suspense. There was a called meeting of Bethel Presbytery in the First Presbyterian church of York ville yesterday for the tmroose of dissolving the pastoral rela tions between Rev. S. H. Hay and the churches of Beersbeba and Clover, Mr. Hay's resigna tion having been accepted by the two churches about two weeks ago. The meeting was moderat ed by Rev. E. E. iJilIespie and Rev. J. K. Hall acted as secre tary. The other ministers pres ent were: Rev. Dr. J. H. Thorn well and Revs. A. H. Atkins and J. A. McMurray. Elders J. J. Smith and G. H. O'Learv were also present. Mr. Hay bad been pastor of the two churches about seventeen yeais. He has accepted a call to group of TAILORS IN A RIOT. - Refused te Permit a Performance That Satirixsd Thair Craft. In 17G9 Foote bad produced a bur lesque, the author of which has never been discovered, entitled "The Tailors; a Tragedy For Warm Weather." Dow ton announced the revival of this piece for bis benefit As the title implies. It was a satire upon tho sartorial craft and upon the bills being Issued an In dignation meeting was convened by the. knights of tho needle, who vowed to oppose the performance by might and main. Menacing letters were sent to Dow ton telling him that 17.000 tailors would attend to his piece, and one, who signed himself "Death," added that 10,006 men could be found If nec essary. These threats were laughed at by the actors, but when night came It was discovered that the craft were in earnest and thst with few excep tions they bad contrived to secure ev ery seat In the house, while a mob without still squeezed for admission. The moment Dowton sppeared upon the stage there waa a hideous uproar and some one threw a pair of sheai at him. Not a word would the rioters listen to, nor would they accept any compro mise in the way of changing the piece. Within howled and hissed without In termission hundreds of exasperated tailors; outside howled and bellowed thousands of raging tailors, who at tempted to storm the house. ' So for midable did the riot wax that a mag istrate had to be sent for and special constables called out, but tbese were helpless against overwhelming odds, so a troop of life guards was ultimately summoned, who, sfter making sixteen prisoners, put the rest to flight Amer ican Tailor and Cutter.

Dinner will moje along something like tills: Mouthful of soupscreams of mlrthT flakes of laughter and breadcrumbs pervading the air. Mouthful of roast duck reminds domestic humorist of something. "Do you know why a duck goes into the water!" Long silence and more extensive eating. Domestic hu morist answers it himself as follows: "For divers reasons." More bread, vegetables and general good feeling. "Why does he come out 7" No answer and no sound but that of an old joke under the table cracking its knuckles.

''-,' It might very-natu rally have been thought that if .there was oue trade which could be said to be free from trickery and faking it was that of steel manufacture. The mere fact that steel is synonymous with strength . would seem to bear out this view. And yet methods are sometimes adopted In Uio making of steel which onoe again Illus trate the saying that there are tricks in every 'trade.'' ' - - V .- P- At the same time it must be admit ted that some of tbese tricks when car ried out do not necessarily menu a lessening in the soundness and quality of the material, For Instanced It some- times happens that in casting apteee of steel what is known as a "blow hole" occurs. Ofteu till li not noticed until the steel has beou rut and trim med for the required p:n-W)fv In such a case the hole Is usually "tapped" and a well fitting screw Inserted, the bead of the latter being filed off so closely to the metal that it needs an expert eye to detect any unusual, feature. This Is a trick which makes no differ ence in the strength' of the metal and consequently is quite harmless, . ' Sometimes, " however," a crack ap-' pears in a piece of metal which It is impossible to remedy by tlio Usual ex pedients of hammering arid roilln?. The careful manufacturer will put the piece on one side and make a fresh casting, for if such a piece of nietaj were used as a crank shaft, "foFTn" stance, It might spilt at a time of extra Strain and so briu? untold disaster:' ' . On the other hanJ, the manufactur-. er may decide that he cannot afford to throw the faulty casting on one side, and in order to cover the defect it Is put in the open air to rust The weath er will most likely be found to have filled the crack by the time the cast ing Is required, and no one outside the foundry Jf ill have known of Its exist ence untn perhaps it causes a vessel to become disabled. And, as It is almost Impossible to tell afterward bow the. crack, originated, the maker is quite secure from blame. One of the most sensational scandals which have agitated the engineering world for some years past came to light not long ago in, connection with the building of a great battleship. After a trial trip she was found to be somewhat leaky; and an examination of some of the plates forming the side of the vessel revealed the startling fact that the rivets had been put In the holes cold and simply calked. When a ship's plates are riveted to gether, it Is usual not only of course to drive the rivets in red. hot, bnt-also to calk them ovecwlth a special composi tion as an extra caution against leak age. In the case mentioned the build er was working under contract and In order to save time resorted to the trick described. The result was ' that the strain on the plates quickly, loosened the calking, and some of.-the rivets actually dropped out of the holes. London Tit-Bits.
