The excitement Of the campaign has pro
duced talk about STRIKES i'll the county. IL was
reported that a big strike was iminent at
the Spartan mills. A member elect TO the
Legislature said, day or two after the cleo
tiUn, that he feared the factory hands would
soon strike. There is undue excitement Oh
this subject and the SOcialistic element in the
county are panderinS 60 this sentiment. Ii is
probable that strikes IN the cotton mills may
Ue brought about. II hand, or family, Is not
furnished with WORK the Cry is raised that it is
political persecution. Factory presidents and
bosses are not allowed to manage their bust
ness affairs ON business principles. Their con
duct is watched and unfairly criticised. If tue
nandS working in the mills listen To the idle,
lazy, shiitless men that drift around the mills
and 1--we off the labor of their children, tuey
may be induced to strike. II artful politicians
can control Offices, or gain power by
strike, they will encourage iG. Let mill super
lntendents manage their own affairs in a
business way and let the hands consult their
own interest and not listen to iders and
disturbers OF the peace, and there will be no
strikes.

ORDINANCE AS TO STREET RAIL
ROADS.

Whereas, in the Judgment of the

dangerous to life and property for any
street railroad company, tramway or
dummy line company, whether run by
horse steam or any other power, to use
the streets of the city as right of way,
which are less than thirty-fve feet wide
in the wagon or drive way:
Now, therefore, be it ordained, That
from and after the passage of the Or
dinauce, that no street railroad compa-
ny, tramway company or dummy line
company, whether operated by horse,
steam or any other power, shall be per-
mitted to lay it's track along any OF the
streets of this city, which shall not have
an uniform width of at least thirty-five
feet in the wagon or drive way eXclu-
sive of side walks-that is to say, which
shall not Re at least thirty-tive feet
wide between the sidewalk curbings.
And be it further ordained, that no
such railroad Company, tramway COM
pany, or dummy line company shall be
permitted to lay its track along or over
any bridge or viaduct which shall not
be at least thirty-five feet wide in the
wagon or drive way, exclusive OF side
walks, and where such crossing is made
such railroad company, tramway COM
pany or dummy or dummy. line compa-
nv shall, at its own expense, replace
such bridge or viaduct with an iron or
stone structure at least thirty-tive feet
in width in the wagon or driveway;
and said railroad company or dummy
line company shall, at their own ex-
pense. keep a watchman at such bridge
or crossing while cars are being opera
ted on the line. Provided this ordi-
dance shall not apply to streets already
| laid with tracks.

A Sad Accident.

ANDovER, Spartanburg County, s. G
Aug. %. 1S92-The ssddest accident that
has ever befallen this section Of country
happened yesterday about o'clock +.
NJ. on the place of NJ. G. Atkins, in
which young Worth Campbell, son of
Columbus w. Campbell, was instantly
killed. Mr.. Columbus Campbell is well
known all over Greenville County and
upper Spartanburg. He is a music
school teacher and his son always &C
companied and performed on the organ.
About four weeks ago he commenced a
ten days school at Motlow's Creek
church and before the school was out
the peopele and his pupils in the com
munity became very much attached to
Mr.. Campbell and his son.. So much so,
Indeed, that when the time Of parting
came and Mr.. Campbell began to extend
the parting hand to his pupils while
singing the song, God be with you till
we meet again" the scene that followed
was truly heart rending. Last Sun
day a protracted meeting began at
Motlow's Creek and Mr. Campbell and
his son came to assist in the meeting.
Yesterday young Worth went home
with Crawford Atkins for dinner and to
await night service. 10 the afternoon
the two young men went over to MIR.
NJ. C. Atkins to spend part OF the after
noon with some other young folks at
that place. While there they went
down on the branch where Mr. Atkins
had started to build dirt dam across
| the branch and it was about half done.
Mr.. Atkins was building the dam with
a push car. The track was laid as the
embapkment was filled in. The two
young men were riding on the car and
pushing it along with their feet. They
went little too far before aware OF the
danger and the young man went down
under the car, the car falling on top
of him and mashing his head to pieces
1t was sad news to carry his parents,
but they bear their grief like heroes
They felt that he was Christian anc
has gone to rest, and thus they are
comforted. The deceased was 10 years
and 70 days old. He was an organist al
many people can testify and was gen
, erly beloved.
The whole country are mourning to
day over the sad fate, J. H. ATKINS

SPARTANBURG, S. C., Mr.. Editor
have heard several defeated cindl-
dates assign various and divers reasons
why they did not get there but
must frankly confess that the reason OF
my defeat is that failed to get enough
votes. My votes ere good enough as
far as they went, but they did not go
far enough. Sixteen hundred and thirty
one votes, while it is goodly number,
aud am W ry proud of them, yet they
are not sufficient to elect man in this
county.
1T is better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all" l do
not regret my candidacy, even though
failed; for made most creditable
race, especially as there were four can
didates in the field. | made numerous
acouaiutarces and friends, and had a
good time generally. ! had three hon
orable opponents and we enjoy the re-
spect and esteem of each other. | was
beaten, hut can't help thinking that
tney coul1 not do it again.
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jack
son were both beaten the first time
they ran for pres dsncy, but no one was
able to do it again. l may be candi-
d tie for some Office again some day,
and | may not, but "a!l the same" L
owe ali everlasting debt of gratitude to
those friends who supported me, and as
to those who voted against me l enter
tain no feeling but that Of the most
cordial respect. l have charity fer all,
malice for none.
For some time past have been known
as candidate Gentry, but for some time

and entrust their legal matters to me,
that, in the language of the candidate
