Charlotte Observer. Statesvllle, Aug. 26. The politi cal pot la getting warm in the coun ty. The insurgents have made sun dry demands of the regulars, among which are that salaries of the county officers should be fixed, by the co'un ty,' doing away with the per cent ba sis; that no county officers shall hold office . more than two consecutive terms; that no public official shall be allowed to hold the chairmanship of any party; that the office of county treasurer shall be abolished, thereby saving the county the sum of $1,800, the salary received by the treasurer. These contemplated reforms, drawn up in the form of party'planks, were signed by M. W. White, D. R, How ard, 1. M. Robertson, W. L,' Dunlap and P. B. Kennedy. They were pre sented : to County Chairman" Hart nesa, who, after conferring with the managers, plead non-currence, in sisting on party harmony. The fight Is against machine politics In V the county. .. -v ' - ; Hry o.

A PRODWX IN FIGURES. Mr. J. M. Taylor, of York County, Pmimiim Marvelons Faculty for Making Mental Calculations - A I Gift of Nature.,' ; ''-T V 'Y Yorkvllle Enquirer. ' If Mr. Joe M. Taylor, of Newport, had been as smart as a politician as be Is expert In figures, he would probably have been elected as aud itor of York county, or at least have gotten a much larger vote tbs be did get, for there is no question of the fact that he is an arithmetical wonder. Mr. Tayjo'r can receive . dictation of a column of numbers, containing three or' four figures each an! give the correct sum immediately on de mand for a total. Asked as to how much -any given 'number of pounds of cotton will come to at any given price, be will give the correct ane swer Immediately. Ask him the a mount of the tax on any number of different pieces of property at any desired levy and without hesitation be will name the correct figures as Boon as the example has been stated. It is so with almost any strictly a rlthmetical proposition that may be presented to him. He does not need pencil and paper. He has a slate or a blackboard in his head, and he is almost Infallible. In his rounds of the campaign, Mr. Taylor frequently bad people around him testing his powers and he never slipped up. He astonished everybody with the quickness and readiness of his answers, and there was a very general opinion that if he had given his exhibitions from the stand, Instead of more privately, these exhibitions would have be come quite a feature of the cam paign, ana reaounaea to the very great benefit of Mr. Taylor in the way of votes. Mr. Taylor Is not able to explain his remarkable faculty as a light ning calculator except as a gift. He can see the figures in his mind al most the same as If they were on a blackboard, and can put them through the operations necessary to get the desired results. Discussing the matter with The Enquirer last Friday, Mr. Taylor said that he first discovered his powers in this direction when a boy of 16, while going to school to Mr. J. H. Wilson. The class to which he belonged was being trained in mental arithmetic, and as he bad no book, he had to borrow from others, until finally he began to realize that he could work most of the examples in his head, and he has been doing it ever since. When asked why he did not give exhibitions on the stand during the campaign, he said that he did not care to eeek election on the basis of this remarkable gift alone, and as the result of his exhibition, a good many people might have been led to declare that the fact that he could make lightning calculations in his head was no evidence of bis fitness for the responsible duties of auditor. The fact is that Mr. Taylor is a man of good, all round practical sense. and Is well qualified in various ways to fill a responsible position. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, as. Lucas County.

In the first place, the old season will end on Wednesday and the trade will be anxious to know all about the statistic of the old crop before en tering extensively, into "commitments in the new, and In the second place, the end of the market week . will come on Friday, because of Labor uay. i Friday , tna government's re port on the condition of the crop on August 25 will be issued and with such an Important report right at the" week-end and followed by the triple, holidays, traders will hardly care to do much new business but will even up their accounts. , Our Health Department The General Effect of Sanitary Pro gressIncreased Efficiency. . From an economic standpoint, the average American child Is a liabili ty until Its seventeenth year, after which time it becomes an asset. That Is to say, it is necessary for the in dividual and the public to, contrib ute to the physical, mental, and moral development of a child until It reaches its seventeenth year. Af ter the seventeenth year the average American child becomes self-sup porting, and, In addition to its own support, becomes a source of reve nue for others, individuals and for the government or public. Death before seventeen means a financial loss of all that the individual and public have invested in the child; after seventeen, the longer death is delayed the greater the returns on the Investment Anything, here fore, that diminishes the probabili ty of life after seventeen is flnan clally an individual and public bless ing. Such a blessing is sanitary progress from a business standpoint Going back to the oldest reliable statistics on the duration of life in existence, we find that in the six teenth century the average duration of life was 21.2 years; at the be ginning of the nineteenth century about 30 years; at the present the average duration of life is 44 years. During the last quarter of the nine teenth century the most active per iod in the growth of natural scl ence the average duration of life Increased at the rate of 25 years per century, and between 1890 and 1900 the increase in Massachusetts was at the rate of 40 years per cen tury. The following table summa rizes present progress in the length ening of life: Present rate in Massachusetts 14 years. Present rate in Europe 17 years. Present rate In Prussia 27 years. In India, where sanitation is un known, the average duration of life is 23 years, or what it was about 40 years ago. Just, as the light of sanitary scl ence rises nearer the meridan of perfection, so the shadow of death shortens. SOME POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. Both Parties Should Strive to peal to Public Intelligence. Washington Herald. ' Ap- "Many really wise, long-headed rtemnorat." we are told, "would rather leave the Republicans in con trol of the next house of representa tives than be charged with responsi bility to present a tariff bill upon h inh tn en to trial in the next presidential election." "Many astute Republicans, we ara rnn oil rr All tlv told, "believe it would be best to let the Democrats get' a majority in the house, on the theorv that they would make a rec ord wholly unsatisfactory to the country." There is nothing "really wise,1 "long-headed." or "astute" in any such reasoning, assuming that eith er party stands for anything and has the courage of its convictions. The Democratic party, it Is true, hu not uniformly measured up to its duties and responsibilities, but the same is equally true of the Re publican party. Neither has a cor ner on patriotism or common sense, and neither especially commends it self to the confidence of the masses in the present crisis. If the Democrats are "really wise" and "long-headed," they will do their level best honestly to de serve the victory which apparent ly is coming to them,- and the par ty's future will then take care of It self. If the Republicans are "astute" they will realise the urgent, press ing necessity of playing politics less and practicing statesmanship more, whatever comes, and thus again get in accord with the masses. Nothing is gained by defeat or lost by victory to any party worthy to appeal to public Intelligence. McXlnch Supported Webb for Eight V '.. Years; a Question. ' Madison County Record. For eight years Candidate Mc- Ninch earnestly worked ' and ' voted for Congressman Webb. " Now " he comes up and tells you that' Mr. Webb la all wrong in his policies, and that he, Samuel See-Saw McNlnch, is the only real Moses to lead us out of darkness Into light . Mr. Webb is advocating the same good policy now that he always has. and Mr. McNlnch supported and- approved these poli cies for eight years, so. if it takes him eight years to find out that Sir. Webb is wrong then how long will It take him to find out what he him self stands for. WINS MAJORITY OF CASES, In the United States Supreme Court the Government Got! Favorable Decision In Majority of the Cases W Which it Was Interested. Washington, Aug. ,J7. -The fiscal year 1910 will go down in the his tory of the Department of Justice as a highly successiui one ior me gov ernment., In the Supreme Court more than half the cases in which the government had an Interest were decided In its favor. Many Involved large sums of money and others In volved very highly Important prin ciples of law. . On the whole the gov ernment got much the better of It 'Out of 23 actual cases in which the government hack Deen beaten In the lower courts and appealed, It won 13. In 44 other cases in which the government had won in the low er courts and the beaten parties ap pealed to the Supreme Court, 22 were decided in favor of the United Statea and one adversely. The others were dismissed by the appellants, by the court, by stipulation or by other means disposed of without defeat to the government. Four cases in which the government had won In the court of claims were carried up and three were decided in favor of the United States. There are now 600 undecided cas es before the Supreme Court in which the government has an interest. York and YorkviUe. Enquirer, 26th. The children of the Church Home Orphanage were given a picnic at High Shoals, N. C, yesterday, by the courtesy of the management of the C. & N.-W. Railroad, which furnish ed transportation free of charge. At a meeting of the State board of education Wednesday, the winners of York scholarships in State institu tions were announced as follows; South Carolina Military Academy S. R. Moore and W. T. Barron. Clemson W. H. Martin. Winthrop Miss Bessie Garrison. Mr. J. S. Glasscock had to leave the county canvass at Bethany Wed nesday, because of information that his daughter, who is ill with typhoid fever, had grown seriously worse and his presence was needed at home On receiving the message Mr. Glass cock at once came to Yorkvllle and took the night train for Rock Hill. The W. C. Ewart society of the Yorkvllle Associate Reformed church gave an enjoyable picnic at Sutton's Spring last Wednesday. All the members of the Sunday school were Invited and many of them went a- long to have a good time with the young people. The children spent the day wading In the creek, roam ing through the woods, and enjoying themselveB generally. Mr. J. Meek Burns, manager of the Bratton farm, on the southern outskirts of Yorkvllle, had a narrow escape from death from the kick of a mule last Monday. Mr. Burns was engaged in trimming the mane and tall or the mule when the animal made a vicious kick, landing on Mr. Burn's left breast and cheek, render- ing mm unconscious, and it was some little time later before he was discovered. Several stitches . were necessary to close a gash In hia left cheek. Mr. Burns is getting along very nicely now and will probably be out again after a few days. Enquirer, 30th. xne York cotton mill, which has been shut down for some time past, putting in weaving machinery, ex pects to resume operations within the next few days about Sentem. ber 5. Mr. Robert I. Howell, of Cusset- ta, Chambers county, Ala., is visit ing relatives in and around York vllle. Mr. Howell is a native of the Howell's Ferry section, in what Is now Cherokee county. He left this country about Kuklux times and has lived In Alabama ever since. Rally day was observed at the York Cotton Mill chapel last Sunday. There is a large and flourishing Sun day school at the cotton mill and the attendance was good. The features of the occasion were an able and en tertaining address by Mr. Grady Hardin, and excellent music by the children under the direction of Miss Ida Ormand, who has charge of the cotton mill school. in our issue or July 12 last, we remarked that we believed the pro ducers of raw cotton would halve the refusal of 16 cents a pound before they were compelled to 'take 12 1-2 cents. The . suggestion has . been realised. . We are now among those who believe in the possibility of 18 cents for a good portion of the crop just coming -In, and If the farmers were half as well ' organized as the spinners they would get 18 cents for all of it ' . Mr. W, E, Hull and family have moved to Clover, S. C, where they will make their home. , MODEL MILL GROUNDS. What Supt. J, C, Blaaon Has . Ad , rompllMhed at the Kesler Mills la , Salisbury An Example for Other Cotton Factories. ' ' ; " Salisbury Post. The possible departure of Mr, J. C. Mason, superintendent of the Kes ler Cotton Mills, for Haw River, where he has been offered control of the string of mills at that place with a handsome salary, has interested Salisbury no little, for during his residence In Salisbury of three and a half years Mr. Mason has won a high place as a progressive citizen. Whether Mr. Mason accepts or not Is yet problematical. The Kesler, always a money-making proposition has made strides a long hygienic as well as material lines since Mr. Mason took charge. The mill itself consists of 26,000 spindles and 306 looms, the latter of which are operated day and night. Twenty-one motors varying In ca pacity are capable of furnishing 100, 000 horse power when required. The machinery is all cleaned by compress ed air with hose, the mill can be op erated either by electricity or steam and the city water as well as a sup ply pumped right on the ground Is available. This water item repre sents no small saving to the compa ny, either. A well was dug 120 feet, 75 feet through rock, in the rear of the mill and it furnishes an abundant supply of cold, sparkling water for all purposes, cutting the necessity for city water practically off. This covered well system, with pump, appealed so strongly to Mr Mason that he had six of them drill ed at various places on the factory hill. The water has been pronounc ed absolutely pure and a physician attending a patient with malaria stated that with screened houses there should be no malaria at the Kesler mills. Mr. Mason is now pre paring to screen the houses there as they should be. The cleanliness of the wash ba sins and closets is striking. A man is employed to make four trips a day to each of them and they are mark ed by spotless cleanliness. The mil settlement itself is a rev elation. Mr., Mason suggested to the operatives three years ago that they give some attention to flower" culture and personally encouraged their efforts. Today barren placed are marked by beautiful flower beds and every house on the hill has it flowers of some variety or other and in varying quantities. Beautiful shade trees, too, have grown rapid ly and the view towards Town Creek is a most pleasing one. Columns could be written about the Kesler under Mr. Mason's splen did management without telling the whole story, for it involves the his tory of a progressive headshlD as well as concern not ordinarily dis played for the mill operative for the 350 employes of the Kesler. In Mr. C. E. Stevenson, Mr. Ma son has a right hand han who has entered heartily into the new order of things and whose counsel is al ways desired. In the Grip of an Automobile Panic. Charity and Children. We observe a fast growing senti ment, against the automobile peril. A gentleman, who ought to know what he is talking agout told us the other day that in the city of Greens boro there are one hundred and for ty homes mortgaged to pay for au tomobiles. The craze is full of per il, and the thoughtless and flippant may laugh as much as they please, but we are in the hard grip of an au tomobile panic, and unless our peo ple stop to consider the trend of the times, the worst is yet to be.
