There is a good deal of non
sense about dollars made public
these days in the name of al
legedly smart men. The most
important question isn't a
"cheap" dollar or a "dear" dol
lar; it is "enough dollars" to do
business with. And "enough" is
enough to start up the wheels of
industry and put all the idle men
at work at living wages. And
if that means cheap money, so
be it. 1t is better for the coun-
try that the "money corner' be
broken even by cheap money
than that half the adult popula-
ton walk the streets in compul-
sorry idleness. There are worse
things than cheap money. And
among the most conspicuous
Just now are the money "corner'
and the "cheapness" Of men.
Dear money means both.

Never before did any cam
paign pay 50 much attention to
the workingman and his best
interests; never before was his
support 50 ardently sought, so
eagerly pleaded for; never be-
fore has so much affection over
flowed from the speeches of the
political campaigner. Labor is
needed to elect either of the
candidates, and labor is getting
out of the notion of being led
around by the nose.-Midland

Oh, no, trusts are not greedy!
They are the salt of the earth!
They are evidences of our ma
tiona1 prosperity! They are the
things all legislatures favor:
They buy up legislatures and
courts. They run the elections.
They furnish the money to buy
voters like so many hogs. Any
effort to curb them is denounced
as socialism and anarchy. If the
people like to be robbed let them
keep on voting for men who be-
ieve in trusts running the gov
eminent for their own benefit.
Hanna and Payne are interested
in trusts you know, and these
are the men who are managing
Baby Mckinley. Mckinley talks
only when Nurse Hanna tells
him to, and if Mckinley gets in
the presidential chair Hanna will
still remain in charge of the
nursery.

Labor Day gave corporations
and courts. the money power
and those who would use it in
the interest of the rich against
the welfare of labor and the
peace and prosperity of the
country, to understand that a
mighty mastering of labor is
going forward and that resist
ance to oppression is the battle
cry, and that it is the part of
wisdom to heed the alarm bells
of Labor Day.

HEALTH EXPERIMENTS.
The Result of Some That Have Been
Tried in France.


Tried in France.
Among the soldiers under the mil
itary government of Paris there were
1924 typhoid cases in 1888. The fol-
lowing year the number increased to
1,179. At that time the water of the
Vanne was substituted for the con-
taminated Seine water. The cases
the next four years numbered, re-
spectively, only 299, 279, 293 and 258.
Last year the Vanne itself became
contaminated through an accident,
the history of which has been traced
conclusively. The result was an in
crease of typhoid cases in the Paris
garrison to 436, of which 80 occurred
in the three months of February,
March and April. During January
and February of the present year
$685. there were only eight cases in
all.
The fact that typhoid fever comes
and goes with impure drinking water
could hardly receive a more striking
demonstration, Yet the possibility
has been realized in the experience of
Melun, a garrison town of about 49,
600 inhabitants, situated on the
Seine, % miles above Paris. Here,
in 1889, there were 122 cases of ty-
phoid fever among the soldiers. The
Chamberlain filters Pasteur system)
were then introduced, and the cases
of the following years numbered, re-
spectively fifteen, six, two, seven
and seven again for 1894 . Suddenly,
during the severe weather of Feb
ruary of last year, 20 dragons, one
after the other, came down with the
fever. The infantry battalion, living
in the same barracks, had not single
case. The secret was soon out. The
filters had been allowed to freeze, and
the soldiers we're ordered to drink
only the weak infusion of tea fur
nished them, in which, of course, the
water was boiled. The dragons
had simply not obeyed, but had
helped themselves to the Seine water
from the hydrants.-Popular Science

Electric Light in Theaters.

1t Is believed that the first electric
light installed in an American theater
was a Jablochkoff candle, used as a
focusing lamp in the old California
theater, in Bush street, San Fran
cisco, in 1873. The managers OF the
theater at that time were Messrs.
Barton and Hill, Gen. Barton and
Frank Lawler. The play was Antony
and Cleopatra" Rose Etynge and
Cyril Searle taking the leading parts.
A. H. Reece was the engineer in
charge of the work. Seventeen years
have worked complete revolution in
theatrical lighting and to-day there
Is not q theater in the United States
which could dispense with the cleo
trio light.

Was an innocent Looking Paper
Box, But It Did the Business
1t appeared no different from any
other square box covered with wrap
ping paper, and he carried it in his
right hand as he entered big State
street store, Gays the Chicago Chron-
icle. He roamed through the aisles,
crowded the shoppers and made
eyes at the girls behind the counters,
but all the while he held to the
square box with it's string and wrap
ping paper. He came to the jewelry
counter and wanted to inspect some
watches. The saleswoman laid out
trayful, but he was not poker
player and did not know that he was
beaten.
A quiet floorwalker was watching
the young man with the box, think
ing there was something queer
about his actions. He watched the
customer closer than before when
the latter approached the jewelry
counter, and soon he saw the young
man reach out the hand which held
the box and cover a lot of watches.
The saleswoman was bending to look
in the showcase. Slowly the hand
and box dropped to the young man s
side and then went back to the couu-
ter, box and all. The floorwalker
thought it was time to get into the
game. He stepped up to the young
! man and asked him to walk with
him to the managers Office. There
half q dozen watches were found IN
his coat pocket on the side on which
he carried the box. When the box
was turned upside down it was found
to be empty and without cover on
the under side. The young man
used his contrivance because it
would look strange If he wore long
cape such as a woman would wear
for the same purpose.

MILLIONS IN a TON.
What Labor Can Make Out of Ten
Dollars Worth of Pig Iron.

Dollars worth OF Zig Iron.
AT the recent reeting of the South
Staffordshire (England) institute of
iron and steel works managers
Thomas Morris presented some in
teresting facts about the remarkable
achievements that have been reached
in the manufacture of fine wire. OF
the antiquity of wire Mr.. Morris said
there could not be the slightest
doubt. That used in the dress Of
Aaron, the high priest, was stated
to have been cut from thin plates Of
gold, and wire had been discovered
that was made as far back as 1900
B. G. 1t was not, however, until
about the middle of the 14th century
that wire-drawing was first prac-
ticed, and then in Germany. Wire
drawing was practiced in France at
the end of the 18th century and it
was nearly 100 years later before the
industry was introduced into Eng
land, during the reign of Elizabeth.
The Forest of Dean was long the
seat of the Withdrawing trade. In
1868 the first mechanical wire mill
proper was erected at Sheen, near
Richmond. Birmingham appeared
to have taken up the manufacture Of
wire in the 18th century with char.
acteristic energy, but early in the
present century Lancashire began &c
take the lead, both as regards guam.
tity and quality. -.
Mr.. Morris gave an interesting de-
scription of the various articles that
illustrated his paper, especially the
various wires, and pointed out that
the Warrington wire manufactures
who presented him with many of the
specimens got $4.32 per pound, or
over 50, 900 per ton, for the specimen
of drawn wire, which was largely
used in the construction of pianos
and other musical and mechanical in
struments. For the pinion wire he
got $21. go per pound, or $40, 200 per
ton. 1t took 754 hair springs to
weigh an ounce of 4373 grains. 1t
took q, 000,0O of them to weigh a
ton, and, taking one to be worth one
and half cents, the value of a ton
of these apparently cheap little things
ran up to over $500, 900. The barbed
instruments used by dentists for ex-
tracing nerves from teeth were even
more expensive, representing a rate
of 81, 1901 per ton. A mile length
of No. 10 size wire only weighed FL
pounds, and many of the ingots were
IL to IA hundredweight each, and
after allowing for all waste they
could get 30 miles of wire from one
ingot.

TO one who was present anG
caught the sentiment of the people
over the whole State from the mem.
bers of the State Democratic Exccu.
tive Committee, it is exceedingly
amusing to hear the few friends of
Senator Irby claim victory tor Inn
at the meeting of the executive com
mittce. Had he been victorious, the
Gray resolutions would have pre-
vailed and there would not have been
q corporals guard Of Rcformcrs eli.
gible and illing to be members Of
the democratic clubs. Mr.. Sligh's
resolutions were not what the mem
bers thought proper, but Mr.. Eiird's
resolutions met the approval OF Sen
a.or Tillman's closest friends, and
their adoption can justly be claimed
a victory for Senator T'illman. No
man knows this better than Senator
Irby, and should he ever get to the
May convention he will see that the
people of the State are against the
'oursc advocated by him. They have
'ecn betrayed once and will never
submit to the nomination Of q gold
'ug, 40 matter what the platform is.
they will demand the right sort OF
platform and the right sort of men
N it. They will not surrender their
principles and hc bound to support

DENOCIsATIC EXECUTIVE
COMNIHTTEE.

Tho Journal editor, being q
mcmbor of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, had the
pleasure of attending its meeting,
which was held III Columbia on
tho 1th inst. We were in tho city
two days and had ample opportu-
nltv to get correct report of the
political situation in tho several
counties of the state, which prlvl-
lcgc we Value vcry highly, as it
would have been utterly impossi-
bic to have gotten Il correct idea
from the newspaper reports, and
the interviews of certain members
since their return from Columbia.
The proceedings Of the meeting
arc published il the Journal, they
arc correct as far as the real rll$l-
moss before the meeting, but the
report Of the speeches show de-
cidrd bias for lrhy. rs great space
was giycn hlm and his supporters,
while the most mcagrc account
was given of the others. The
majority of the committees felt
that they wcrc called to counsel
together and provide for the hold
ing OF the May convention, and
that the enemies Of tho party
should not know what transpircd
in the meeting, SO an executive
SESSIONS vas ordered and all spoc-
tators and reporters requested to

fore The roll was called, and made

lccturing tho committee on De-
mocracy. BY tins man~uvre he
got hls views in the papers, but
his effort to dictate to the comit-
tee was an inglorious failure.
The members knew their duty and
would not Do forced to q course Of
action. which would have been
without authority. and which
would have led to strife and divis-
ion among the people. SO they
refused to become q party to lrby s

ion at Columbia, ). c., September 10,
1891.
The above resolutions were adopt
ed by the State Democratic Exccu-
tive Committee and need no cxplal.-
alton. 1t Is ordered undcr those
resolutions that the clubs and coun-
ty convention in their actions here
under be governed and guided by
the Constitution of the Democratic
party. 1t will be noticed that the
rules are not mentioned and will
have nothing to do with the actions
of the clubs and convcntlon, the
committee having refused to adopt
them, although urged to do so by the
lrby forces. SO the above rcsolu-
tions and the constitution is all the
law on the subject and any Reformcr
in Pickens county can without re-
serve or hesitation come into the
clubs and have voice in the pro-
ceedings. SO let there be good
attendance at the club meetings and
sec to it, that men in sympathy with
the people be elected delegates to
the county convention. Chairman
Hamilton has set the ball in motion
by calling a meeting of the County
Executive Committee, and the peo-
pie should begin to get IN line for
action. The greatest political battle
for years is just ahead of them, and
South Carolina must send her quota
TO the front.
