Mr.. George ii. Maxwell Points out the
National interest Of the American
Lsborer In Arid Land Reclamation.

Mr.. George II. Maxwell Points out Il,
National Interest of the American
Laborer In Arid Land Reclamation.
| AT the recent meeting of Ii
Chicago Federation of Labor MI
George HI. Maxwell, of San Fran
cisco, delivered an address settin.
forth the irrigation question in ,
somewhat new light, namely, th,
opportunity which would accorded
to labor in the event Of the adop
ton of a broad irrigation and set
tlement policy. MIR. MaxwelI said
in part;
"There is no problem now con.
fronting the American peonle
which has closer or more funda.
mental relation to the welfare Of
the great multitude of our citizens
whose industry is their capital
than the problem of the preserva.
ton and reclamation for the peo-
pie and for the homebuilder of the
arid public domain.
"This great city of Chicrgo has
been created by the labor of men
within the lifetime and memory of
those who are now living. What
giant possibilities does the great
arid region, still farther to the
west, hold for the workers of this
generation? They can open the
gateway to 1T themselves il they
but choose to do so. They have
the key in their own hands See
how simple the proposition is.
Year after year-every yearSe
are wasting i've million dollars
which might be realized from leas
ing the public grazing lands. If
this great sum We're expended in
the construction of irrigation
works an enormous amount of ir-
rigable lands could be annually
reclaimed.
"It would be reclaimed without
the creation of dollar of debt.
without the issue of single bond,
without the Government parting
with any interest in the lands, and
when reclaimed the land could be
sold to actual settlers only in small
tracts, at price so low as to bring
an irrigated farm within easy reach
of any industrious wageearner.
Then the ownershipof such a
farm would entitle him to go out
on the range and lease for a
nominal rental of from one TO FIVE
cents an acre per year his proper
tion of the public grazing lands,
enough for bis needs, to which he
would have the exclusive right Of
possession. With this and few
sheep or cattle he would be well
started on the road to independ-
ence and eventual wealth."
The Chicago Federation of
Labor UNANIMOUSLY adopted reso
lutions declaring against cession
of the public lands and favoring
the leasing of the grazing lands
and the building by the Federal
Government Of storage reservoirs
to save the flood waters now
wasted.

amining Board is instructed torefuse

An Excellent Selection.

We take the following clipping
from one of the papers published at
Monroe, N. G.:
"The directors of Monroe High
School met July 10Th and elected
faculty for the next school year.
Prof. S. S. Lindler, of Lexington
county, S. G., principal; Maj. L. D.
Andrews, Misses Anna Blair, Wilma
Griffin assistants; Prof S. Scull in
structor in music. The faculty, with
the exception of Professors L;ndler
and Scull are too we'll known to the
people of Monroe to need commenda-
ton from US. Prof. Lindler is a
teacher of twenty years experience
and is graduate Of North Carolina
College. He is highly recommended
as man and as a teacher. Prof.
Scull comes with the very highest
endorsements and as a teacher Of
music is said by those who have
been instructed by him to be with
out a superior. We hope that the
Monroe High School may have a
prosperous year.
We gladly endorse all that this
paper says of Prof. Lindler and it
gives US great pleasure to add that
beis high. tone Christian gentleman,
of ripe scholarship and possessed OF
excellent business judgment and the
school will flourish under his charge

the unexpired term Of Capt. d. ).
Griffith, recently elected Superln-
tendeut Ct the State penitentiary
was formally opened at Leesvllle
yesterday. Capt. \ P. West acted
as master CT ceremonies and this
bare announcement is sufficient to
assure our readers that heperformed
his duties with his old time prompt
ness and courtesy. There were
about $50 voters present and large
number of ladies who lent entran-
cling beauty and charm to the occa-
sion. Rev. Mr.. Austin opened the
ceremonies with beautiful and ap-
propriate prayer.
Col. W. Jasper Talbert, who was
present by special invitation, was the
first speaker introduced. After ex-
pressing himself with being delighted
with the opportunity CT addressing
the people Of Lexington, be spoke OF
national # ir,, and in Lit er terms
denounced the policy Of President
Mckinley in dealing with the Philip
pine question. That the tendency
of the Republican administration
was to interfere with the civil and
religious freedom Of foreign nation.
He was opposed to the idea of ex-
pansion and colonial government as
proposed by the Republican party.
He then paid his attention to the
gigantic trust and claimed that their
existence was detrimental to the
business interest of the country,
while the agricultural interest had
decreased yet the taxes of the farmers
had increased. He favored an in
come tax so that the rich would bear
a portion, at least of the burden of
government. He touched on the
money question and declared himself
in favor of the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio of 1G to l and endorsed
Bryan and the Chicago platform.
He spoke in the highest terms OF
DR.. J. VIM. Stokes and praised tie
great work he had undertaken in
behalf of his constituents. His
speech vas mingled with wit and
humor which kept his audience in
a good humor from beginning to
end.

lengthy and exhaustive speech on
national affairs, covering the main
issues engaging the attention OF the
people Of this country. DR.. Stokes
is greatly beloved by the people of
the county and his appearance is
always the signal for great out
hurst of enthusiasm.
Drs. Brooker and Crosson, and
Mr.. Wesley Harsey, candidates for

the candidates on the issues.
Mr.. A. Frank Lever closed the

speech, which was we'll received.
