Black Diamond.

Nix. EDITOR: The only apology have
for writing in the interest Of tho Black
Diamond Railroad again is the interes:
/ feel in the work and its Importance To
this section of South Carolina, and the
benefits that will accrue to our people.
The building Of this road means the cir
culation of at least four millions of dol
lars of foreign capital in its cons nstruction
Is not this consideration in itself to Jus.

enterprise? 1t is proposed there will he

per mile four millions Of dollars in rail
road property will be added to our taxa
BILE values and that would be, at least,
$500 annually IN county and State taxes
for Anderson; and yet there are people
who seem to be opposed to the road.
Again: Statistics show that there are
S23,476 mon employed by railroads in
this country, and their wages and salaries
aggregate 1865, 5,G0l ,5Si, or nearly $50 for
each man engaged. This money is all
put into circulation in the sections
through which these roads run. believe
am safe in saying the Black Diamond
road would give employment annually to
son men in South Carolina at an average
price of $500 each which would put into
circulation $iOD, 900 annually
If tho city of Anderson consumed only
the amount of coal now used, more
than $1,000 per annum will be saved i'm
ireights alone to our people on this ono
item, If the road is built. And yot soriIu
Of our people prefer to pay the pros ent
rates to existing lines that take all our

am not expecting much help in this
enterprise from old men, because their
work is practically ended, and 40 far aH
their individual interests arc concerned
it will not benefit them great deal. Men
who have reached certain stage in life
become 80 conservative they take no
stock in schemes that require time for
development. But the young men-men
of action, men Of business-I do expect 10
give me their united support. Whatever
benefits that are to accrue from the com
pletion Of this road will be In their in-
mediate grasp. II Anderson is to hold
her prestige as q cotton market and q
trade centre In the Piedmont belt abe
must have better railroad facilities. Her
merchants will have to quit swapping dol
lars In order to meet prices at more
favored points on our present railroad
connections. The time is near at hand
when better railroad facIlitIes and rates
will be absolutely necessary. or many OF
our young men will have to seok other
places for business.
The future Of Anderson County and
the City of Anderson does not rest In the
hands Of the old men. but in the hands oi
the young men. If they are faithful tc
their opportunity in the great tidal wave
Of prosperity and commercial activity
now gathering, there is no fear Of the re
suit; but If they sit idly by until this
wave sweeps over the country, they will
be only like the fool who vainly locks
his stable door after his horse is stolen.

STRIFE MUST CEASE.
Otherwise, Samuel Gompers Says New
Bedford Strike May Fail.

Boston, Feb. 6.-In an interview, after
a secret conference Of the leaders of the
labor organizations, this afternoon
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that unless the hostile factions of the
textile unions came to some agreement
very quickly, the strike at New Bedford
would be Of little avail. 1t was for the
purpose of harmonizing these different
unions and uniting them in the inter-
ests of the strikers, that Mr.. Gompers
is now making an extended tour of the
textile centres of New England, and to-
morrow he will start for Biddeford.
Thence he will go to Lawrence and Low
ell, and on Wednesday evening, to New
Bedford
Mr.. Gompers addressed the meeting in
a blunt but honest fashion, and suggest
ed, above all things, that the different
unions should get together and lay
aside all differences. He said that he
was sorry that the success of the strike
had been threatened by such antago-
nism among the different branches, but
he believed that there was yet time to
win the fight if only these differences
were settled.
At Mr.. Gompers' suggestion, COM
mittee was appointed to bring all the
different branches together. He further
said that he did not think the best work
was being put forward to help the strdk-
ers in New Bedford, and that until this
was done, the revolt against lower
wages would scarcely result in victory
for the men Later in the day Mr..
Gompers addressed the members Of the
Central Labor Union and expressed his
intention Of doing every thing In his
power to assist the textile workers.

AMERICAN WHeELMEN.
Annual National Assembly of the League
to Open Wednesday.

st. Louis Mo-, Feb. 6.-Next Wednes-
day the annuel national assembly of the
League Of American Wheelmen will be-
gin days session. There is much to
be accomplished at the convention, but
the most important matter will be the
election of officers. There is considerable
rivalry for the position Of president be-
tween Isaac B. Potter the present in
cumbent, and George D. Gideon, the ex-
chairman Of the racing board. Ex-Presi-
dent Sterling Elliott of Massachusetts is
back of the Gideon boom.
1t is said that the Potter ticket has
allowed Pennsylvania, the second
strongest division in the league, to name
the first vice president, and the support
of keystone state has been promised
them There are almost any number of
resolutions to be acted upon, and they
will be the cause of much debate. AL
most every delegate to the assembly has
pet idea of his own. 1t is not expected
that the fight for the granting of local
option will amount to much. Missouri, as
well as the majority of western and
southern states, are known to be in
favor of this action being taken, but the
fasteners are opposed to it, and they
practically control the league.

NEW BEDFORD STRIKE.
A Mill Superintendent Denounces the
Walking Delegates.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 6.--secre-
tary Ross of the Spinners' Union denies
the truth Of the statements which have
gained circulation, relative to the weak
ness Of the strike. While there may be
some individual complaints and willing
ness to give up the fight, he does not feed
that the general body or operatives is in
position where it will give up the bat
tie. Mr.. Ross returned from Boston to-
night, feeling greatly pleased at the ST.
tuation. He had been to a conference
of the labor leaders assembled from all
over New England to meet President
Gompers of the New England Fedora
ton OF Labor, and from the talk that
was had at this conference, he feels that
AID Will soon be forthcoming to the New
Bedford strikers which will put them in
position 30 resist With additional
strength.
Mr.. Gompers and the other labor lead
ers, Mr.. Ross says, were surprised to
learn that there was no break in the
ranks, and they were pleased at his as
surances that the front of the battle is
still in lighting order, At the confer
ence, steps were taken which Mr. Ross
thinks will furnish the strikers with the
aid they have lacked. He told those
present that $4,000 will be required
weekly. As a result of the discussion, 1t
was decided to appoint a committee to
arrange for conference at an early
date, to which representatives of all
textile unions in the country shall be in
Vlted, whereby a plan for the system
attic aid of the strikers may be set on
foot.
After the conference Mr.. Ross, with
other labor leaders, went to the meet

strikers was explained AS result

TO SAVE HER COMMERCE.
Radical Measures Must be Used in New
York Says Mr.. Adams.

Albany N. Y, Feb. 6.-The annual
report of State Engineer Adams devotes
much space to the subject of the COM
merce of the state. Elaborate tables
have been compiled from the records of
the general government and other
sources dating back 200 years. giving
the values of the trade between the sew
eral American colonies and Great Brit
ain up to the beginning Of the revolu-
tionary war and after that time, and
up to the present date, the values of
exports from the leading Atlantic Gulf
states.
Other tables are also presented to
show the percentage of exports and i'm
ports during each year from 1856 to 1897,
at New York, Boston, New Orleans,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Galveston,
and to show how the commerce which
once belonged to so great an extent to
New York city and New York state, is
now being diverted to other points.
Mr.. Adams says that the port of New
York which a third of century ago
commanded 73 per cent of the total ex-
ports of the nation, today commands
but 81 per cent of them. Statistics pre-
scented show that New York's foreign
commerce has never been so low as last
year, since 1850. 1t is in her exports
that New York commercial losses have
occurred. In imports she almost holds
her own at two-thirds of the nations
total. In exports she has fallen from
two-thirds to little more than one
third of the whole.
The statistics in Mr. Adams report.
show that the problem of retaining New
Yorks commercial prestige is a grave
one, the chief factors in which he be-
lieves to be adequate and efficient wa
terways, constantly forcing the lowest
possible transportation charges, and
ample docks equipped with everything
that will expedite and minimize the
cost of handling commerce.
Mr.. Adams believes that the present
| inadequate condition of the canals is
largely responsible for the decline OF
commerce at New York city. and the
improvements now being made Should
not only be promptly completed, but
that steps must be taken Immediately
for better facilities and lower terminal
charges for canal traffic, and especially
at Buffalo and New York. So long as
the transportation interests of the ca
nails are disorganized and handled by
poorly equipped vessels, without proper
system, just so long will the value of
the canals to the people Of this and
other states be minimized
Mr.. Adams describes the progress that
has been made on the work Of improv-
ing the canals and presents a number
of tables showing the total estimated
cost of the work to be 100000. The
| entire length of the three canals is 454
miles, and 295 miles is now under con-
tract. The estimated cost of these
contracts is $7,745920 The total
amount earned on all contracts to the
end of the fiscal year was $3,239, 483.
| Mr. Adams says that the plans for the
entire work are practically completed,
and that every feature of the work will
/ bear the fullest investigation

Before Large Congregations Special
Music and Decorations.

AT st. Johns Church, Sunday morn

administered the rite of confirmation to

other flowers doomed upon the reading
desk. The usual morning service was
read, supplemented by the communion
service and confirmation service. The
seating capacity of the church was
taxed to it's utmost
Bishop Lawrence, in his sermon, spoke
at length regarding the present ten
deney to educate away from true relig-
ious Ideals rather than up to them. The
Bible he regarded as mine that has
perhaps been well worked for one metal
At a subsequent time, another kind of
metal may be discovered in the same
old mine, or some gallery may have
been overlooked and not quite so thor
oughly worked as it should have been,
and new value is discovered. So with

TO LEAVE MILLBURY
Rev. William H. Goggin Trans
ferred to Pittsfield.
Announcement Received With Sorrow
Bishop Visited to No Avail-EnvlabIe
Church Record.

Minbury, Feb. e.-Rev. FIR. William H,
Goggin, who for the past IL years mas
been pastor of St. Bridget's Catholic
Church, at Millbury, announced at the
service, this morning, that the bishop
had transferred him to St. Charles
parish at Pittsheld. The announcement
came as shock to his parishioners,
and, in fact, to the entire community, as
no man has so widespread a reputation
as FIR Goggin. Rev. FIR. Goggin was ap-
pointed pastor Of st. Bridget's Catholic
Church in Millbury, Sept. /, 1886, upon
the death of Rev. FIR. M. J. Doherty.
His preliminary education was received
in the public schools Of Worcester,
from where he went to st. Charles Col
lege, at Montreal. He also received a
course in theology at Baltimore.
He was ordained to the priesthood
December IL, 1878, and assigned to ST
Michaers cathedral, at Springfield, and
was appointed rector of the cathedral
July /, 1888. In the fall of 1886 he was
transferred by Cardinal Gibbons to the

vast congregation, and so great was the
surprise when FIR. Goggin announced
that the bishop had transferred him to
the pastorate of ST. Charles parish at
Pittsfeld, and that this was his last
Sunday here, that his congregation was
unable to speak Afterwards when they
realized the full amount OF his words,
many persons threatened to withdraw
from the church if he was to be taken
away. Afterwards when 1t was learned
that a committee was to so to Spring
field and consult with the bishop it was
sincerely hoped that their mission would
be a successful one, and awaited their
return which brought the answer that
FIR. Goggin must be transferred. The re-
port of the church was read Sunday and
showed that the church was in good
condition, financially and otherwise, and
that S2790.47 was in the church treasury
