Carnegie is the chief proprietor. The

During the big strike at Carnegie's mill,
couple of years ago, eastern men were
imported and, guarded by armed Pink
erton detectives, brought from Chicago,
they succeeded in getting portion of the
mill under operation, which resulted in
a stampede Of the strikers and an end to
the struggle.
The Duquesne company will profit by
Carnegie's experience. They have twelve
PinkeTton detectives on the ground and
the strikers are not allowed to penetrate
beyond the high board fence which SUR
rounds the mill. Three deputy sheriffs
from this city are also at Duquesne and
the company have engaged six stalwart
negro cooks, who viii prepare meals for

worth. He quickly sought his home,
where his wife and children awaited his
coming. What moved Wentworth to so
suddenly disappear, write notes of fare
well, give directions as to the disposition
of his effects, etc., is not explained, and
probably never will be, except to his
family. That the man was laboring UNI

Thomas Kane. for whom he has been SUI

his disappearance. will start up today,

Die and Save Money.

By dying now a man can save mon
ey. Never in the history of ovr dis
tinguished professian has it been pos
sible to secure respectable interment
Tor so small an amount of money rs at
present. The inventions and improve
ments which always cheaper eommod-
tiles have, in our business, kept apace
with the times. A decaae ago there
was not much difference in prices and.
methods. Now there is every differ .
ence. Ten years ago any funeral
would average $3.50; now there is no
average. A man can spend proftably
$4,000 in getting planted, or he can
have the thing done in pretty good
shape for weeks salary. and he'll
teel just as satisfied as though be were
investing a fortune in it. Some peo-
pie are very apprehensive concerning
their funeral, and others don't think
about it at all. If a man wants to
have the thing done properly and go
through without hitch, $50 will
make a pleasant display in his neigh
borhood. There has been a cut in
rates among undertakers Of late, and
prices are at bottom rock After Il
little the trouble will be adjusted and
the old scale restored But cur in
ducements at present should not he
overlooked. Now is the ,in.e to die

An Enterprising Crow.

Farmer Crowder had finished plant
ing his corn, but his heart was heavy.
He knew the crows were whetting
their bills to pull up the corn as soon
as it appeared above the surface,
Il tell you how to get away with
the crows" said neighbor Stokes.
"How ?"
"Get you gallon of mean whisky
and soak some corn in it till it gets
full of the stuff, and then scatter it
broadcast in the field. The black
rascals will eat it and get drunk, and
then you can catch 'em and pull their
heads off. That beats pizen or shoot
ing"
In few days Farmer Crowder met
bis friend Stokes
Well, hou's craps" queried
Stokes. 'tF

piled Crowder, dolefully. Il tried
that ere scheme o your'n, and it's a

No Tax Receipt, No Vote.

There is a little talk and stir about
a tax paying qualification in North
Carolina. There are many things
to be urged in favor of such plan.
Of. say, $2,0O0,OO0 taxes, the negro
pays only s125,OO0, as near as can be
calculated, and the white man S1,815,-
600. These are pretty startling tiures.
The number of negroes who have never
paid poll tax is surprisingly large.
The truth is, the white people, In the
main are Democrats; are carrying, and
have been carrying for years, very
heavy and certainly Lot diminishing
burden in the shape of the African. Ii
the tax receipt be made prerequisite
to the vote the State will be much
richer and the burden on the white
man will be lessened.-Raleigh Letter

while we love them and will ever
perpetuate their deeds of valor and
heroism with especial pride and

nor, will we permit our conduct to be
misconstrued into anything like abb

This state of feeling does not exist
in the North. The cry of war, mat
tiers not from whence it comes or,
whose utterance, stirs the northern
mind with thoughts Of 81 and begets
as much of anlmoslty as did the
