lage, who dissected a cat and exhib-
tied it's vital organs before the young
er scholars of the school the other day,

ted that repetition of the offense

ton of the cat, the other case being
that of Prof. r. Miller, who super
vsed the dissection 1t is believed

President M. d. Ratchford, of the

self as highly satisfied with the work
Of the convention. He said:
I consider the establishment on an

GREATEST LABOR VICTORY
Of the century 1t is, in my estimation.
Of far more Importance than the ten cents
per ton advance We are bound to con-
slider the condition of the coal industry
in asking for an advance in the mining
scale, and perhaps, when we meet in an
nual conference next year the conditions
may be such that the advance would be
lost But the uniform day Of eight hours
work and forty-eight hours for the week.
Will stand as one of the greatest achieve
ments in the history of the miners or any
other organization. 1t may be that the
new scale is not all that the miners in
some districts have desired, but as a
whole | consider it as an emnently salts
factory one"

THE STRONGEST ALLY
the miners had among the operators for

The convention has been a grand sue
cess. The miners have been very consid-
crate in their demands. especially as to
the date of new scale, changing their
period from January 16 to April /, and in
so doing went far to conctiiate the opera
tors in regard to the general terms. We
of Indiana have made a strong fight for
the eight hour day and I consider it's es-
Enlistment as the grandest step in the
history of organized labor"

Pritchard,s Plan

1t is stated that Senator Pritchard,
of North Carolina, will introduce early
in the coming session of congress a
resolution to raise a committee to in
veStigate the recent race troubles in
that state.
The democratic newspapers of North
Carolina treat Pritchard's threat light
ly. The white people of that state do
not fear either federal investigation
or federal interference. They have done
just what the white people Of any 9TH
er southern state would have done un-
der similar circumstances and they
have no regrets for what they did to
rid their state of the rule OF ignor-
ance and corruption.
A thousand federal Investigations
and as many federal force bills would
not prevent the white people Of North
Carolina from protecting their local
government n their homes at any
cost. We have no idea that congress
will adopt any such method as Pritch-
ard but if it should its only
effect would be to intensity race feel
-ng in the south and to make the ne
gro problem still more difficult. So far
as Pritchard himself is concerned, he
can do nothing that will cause him To
sink lower in the regard Of the decent
white people of North Carolina than
he already is.-Atlanta Journal.
