CONTROL OF THE LINE.


The control of the metropolitan line has
been absolutely in tie hands of Messrs.
John Camuack the retired florist, who
lives out on tue Seventh street road, and
Robert d. Weaver of Georgetown. These
men have been regarded as just and honor
able. They have not been considered of the
people he damned" type of iich men, and
their private utterances since the begin
ming o this trouble do not indicate that they
are willing to pcrsecutc employees because
they are active III the interests OF tisrir la Dor
organizations.
Both have other interests also which
they do not care To have suffer on account
OF ill-feeling stirred up by the discharge
OF men because they were organized Tor a

soap, which lie must sell to working people

runs big butchers business, which is
dependent upon the support of the work
ing classes OF Gcorgcto wn and Washington.
These two gentlemen control ma jority
of the stock of the company aud are re-
sponsihie for whatever is done on Wednes-
day. Their Old and faithful employees now
out of work because they are agitators in

next. The result may he change in the

The attitude of President Phillips toward
labor is too well defined by his acton on
the Third avenue road in New YORK and at
the time OF the strike on the Metropolitan
eighteen months ago for it TO be obscured
by wordy disclaimers such as lie issued in
self-defense on Saturday.
The meeting on Wednesday will not be
marked SPECIAL and its details withheld
from the public. Stockholders and direc-
tors will be present AMI their wishes will
be expressed.
Tine suspicion that President Phillips is
afraid to meet the discharged men, even
before the present directors, is confirmed
by his putting out a statement from a 'spe-
cial'' meeting without notifying the men
Of it, instead of arranging full meeting
men, as he promised Congressman Bab-
cock. ....
II is not believed by the members OF the
executive committee in charge OF the
labor side that several leading directors
were present. They have had assurances
from some OF these of fair treatment. They
notice that there is 10 detailed report OF
the special meeting.
President Phillips found plenty of space

men not because they were knights OF
Labor but because as Knights of Labor

Iatteuded meeting at "Rose Hip on the
2sth of last month. called to consider the ad-
visibility of opposing the Salem, new county
scheme So many misrepresentation of
what said at that meeting have come to my
eara, Thought it just to myself to repeat
exactly what l did say. | stated 81 bad
been opposed to the new county movement
ever since the inception, on the main question
of taxation. That the new county propor-
ton of the bonded debt of Kershaw and
Sumter, together with the expense OF erecting
public buildings, would be TOO great load
for the infant county to carry. Whenever
any one could remove such objections, or
show how the taxpayers could escape this
burden, my opposition would cease"
Since that meeting the ci,!zsrs Of Wisacky
have fully met my objections, by contributing
a suffciency to pay be estimated debt of the
new county snd erect eil necessary public
buildings Therefore cannot longer oppose
the movement, bat vii! assist 'he citizens o.

The determined effort that Wisacky
is making to secure the county seat of
Salem county will have decided effect
upon the result Of the new county agi-
satiop. To our mind the entrance OF
Wisacky ia,o the race for the county
seat settles beyond question that Salem
county will be an acc, mpli,aed fact
after The l7th instant. r5e strongest
opposition that the pew county noSe
ment bas bad to contend against was
in Mt. Clio township, in the vicinity
of Wisacky ADD 10 the section of Dar-
lingtop county lying just across Lyocbes
river from Mt. Clio From the very
first these people have declared their
ausagooism to the new county move
mept and majority of them have at
one time or another given expression
to settled purpose to vote against the
establishment Of new county
that would include them. Then oo-
lection to the new county vas not mere
" an uureasoniog and prejudiced an
taeonism to a change in the old order
of things, but was an intelligent aud
thoughtful conviction that the advan-
sages incident to smaller county
would be greatly o9erbalauced by the
heavy taxation that would be required
TO maintain the ordinary cousty
expenses and pay the annual
interest on the bonded debt
TO be Inherited from the counties of
Darlington, Kershaw and Sumter. The
opponents of Salem County have not
placed themselves on record as antago-
n;stic 20 smaller counties, but as oppo-
nents to new county that will begin
it's existence burdened with heavy
bonded debt and high rate of taxa
ton. The proposition made by the
town of Bisboville would not pay for
the erection of the necessary public
buildings, and the Inevitable couse-
ouence stared the property owners o.
