mother, or wife or children. IT
he is without these be still has to
feed and clothe himself All this
requires money, and many toIIers
have no income beyond their wages.
Men cannot throw up their jobs
these days and expect the generous
support of the sympathetic public.
Landlords, butchers and grocers'
want cash and the man out of a job
is no favorite with them.
Butt impatient worker will com
plain that his wages are too low.
That is unfortunate, but will he i'm
prove his condition by going with
out any wages at alb Hard times
hurt employers as well as the EN-
pleyed- Sometimes wages are cut
in order to keep men at work and
avoid the shutting down of a great
industry. The sensible thing to do
is to make the best of it until times
improve.
We have heard of so much suffer
ing among men out of work with
half starved families that we are as
founded at the folly of others who
are willing to give up their jobs and
risk the consequences. Such con
duct is utter madness. For every
mau who steps out of a job twenty
stand ready to take his place. Let
no man any position delude him
self with the idea that he is indis
pensable. There is no such thing
as an Indispensable man. Thous-
ands of the brightest, most indus
trious and capable men that ever
walked the earth are now out OF
employment or doing odd jobs un-
til they can secure the work they
are best fitted for.
If any man thinks that it is big
thing to show his independence by
giving up his job when there is no
other in sight he should first find
out what his wife and children
really think about it. 1t is pitiful
sight to see everything in little
cottage sold to buy food for the wife
and children of the man who is out
of job. 1t is harder still when the
landlord drives them out
a Row.LThe Green boys of Flat
Rock, eolored, and the Giles boys of
Rock Castle, also coIored. together
with a white boy named Wright
got into a row in the blackberry
patch, at Coal Hollow, Saturday
Pistols, knives and rocks were used
pretty freely, resulting in the wound
ing of most of the participants.
One of the Giles boys was badly
hurtvin the hip from a rock, and
Wright the white boy got pistol
wound in the breast and arm, and
also bad lick on one of his elbows
from rock. The row was the out
crop of an old feud. The trial of
the people engaged in this row will
take place before Squire Phelps, at
his Office, in this place, next Satur-
day.
BOILER WoRKs.-Mr. Mott Bar
of Charleston, has moved his
machinery for his boiler works to
Henderson. He is now engaged in
putting up the building for his
shops. This is an industry entirely
new in this section of the State, and
being situated right at the mouth
of the Kanawha, will no doubt Sc
cure most of the steamboat work.
He will also make steel cylinder
timbers for steamboats,. Now with
this boiler works located at Hen
derson, and the splendid machine
shop and foundry in this place, not
a piece of steamboat work should
go away from the mouth of the
Kanawha. This enterprise will add
much to the material prosperity of
Henderson, and we congratulate
our neighbors upon securing it.
We wish Mr. Barton success in his
undertaking.
a good deal of feeling is manifest
ing itself in the mining regions of
this county, since negro miners
have been brought from Virginia
to take the miners places, who some
time ago came out of the mines.
But we do not apprehend any law
less acts on the part of the white
miners. While they may smart
under these negroes supplanting
them, they are all law abiding citi-
zens, and will commit no breach of
the laws.
BADLY HURr.-A young man
named Olford, who lives on the low
er side of Kanawha, returning
home from Henderson, on horse
back, while near the narrows, his
