JUSTICE. NOT CHARITY.


All hail the dawn of a new day breaking,
When strong armed nation shall take
away
The weary burden from backs that are
aching,
With maximum work and minimum
pay.
When no man is honored who boards
his millions
When no man feasts on another's toll,
And Gods poor, suffering. starving mill
ions
Shall share his riches of sun and soil
There is gold for all in the worlds broad
bosom,
There is food for all in the world
great store;
Enough is provided if rightly divided;
Let each man take what he needs
no more.
Shame on the miser with unused riches.
Who robs the toiler to swell his hoard;
Who beats down the wages of the digger
of bitches,
And steals the bread from the poor
mans board.
Shame on the owner of mines whose
cruel
And selfish measures have brought him
wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dug his
fuel
Are robbed of comfort, and hope and
health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his car
rage,
Bought by the labor of half paid men
Men who are shut out of home and mar
rage,
And are herded like sheep in hovel
pen.

THE TRAMP.

A tramp, tramp, the dirty scamp,
What right has such to live.
He isn't working, he's only Sinking,
To the rich he nothing can give
He don't produce, so he amt any use;
He hasn't place in our plan.
There are thousands to labor without him
for a neighbor;
He's only trust-made man.
He's only thirty, but he's ragged and
dirty, Il
So push him aside while you cam
He's trust-made and stamped, by monop-
oily clamped,
And may become a dangerous man.

MeCraW's Bicycle Bill.
What Charleston Wheelmen
Think of the Cherokee

The Charleston Whee,men have
read something recently about bill
before the present Legislature to
prevent cyclists from passing any
person on horseback or driving With
ont che permission Of the owners OF
| the horse or team, and they are
wondering whether the author OF the
bill rides q wheel or owns horse.
They are also anxious to know what
the State of South Garolina will do in
regard 70 this attempt at "class
legislation" IF there is any reason
why she proud owner of q nag should
be consulted before the humble
wheeiman or wheelwoman can cross
his path aud spin ahead, then the
average bicycle rider would like to
hear of it.

up behind q procession of cotton

McCraw. the author of the proposed

I fail TO see why representative

that in Cherokee, why let the local
or county authorities fix them
Charleston doesn't need any such
thing, and if she did the city coancil
