Judging from he reports published
in the newspapers regarding the telo-
grapher's strike and the unblushing
statements made by both sides as to
the effect the strike is having On the
Southern Railroad Company's bust
ness, we are forced to the conclusion
that there is some boss lying being
done by somebody. We understand
that the brotherhood has number
Of men going over the road with hun
dreds OF dollars in their pockets ready
to furnish money to any operator
in many instances paying and opera
tors salary for a month to induce
him TO go out. If the money holds
out this is going to count without
doubt in favor Of the ultimate success
OF the strikers. We are not in po-
stion to know the true situation Of
affairs, but if it is true that the
operators are only asking for the
privilege Of being heard by the road
officials in matters of grievance, and
that schedule OF hnnrs b. cstab-
lished "-I Just and equitable re-
Enumeration be allowed for overtime,
We cannot but say this is a Just de
m@nd. All other departments Of the
transportation service are allowed so
much per hour for overtime, the en-
ginecrS, the conductors, the fircmcn,
train hands and flagmen, and why is
not overtime allowed the telegraph
operator? 1t can hardly be because
he is already receiving too fat sal
ary. They are surely the most poor
~ paid men in the railroad service
taking into consideration the rrove
responsibilities that rest upon them.
1t strikes us that the fight to the
hnlsh is being made by the railroad
authorities, more for the purpose Of
breaking up the order, than as a re-
Sistance of the seemingly just and
demands CT the telegraph
rrs.

Mr.. A. G. Jones, chairman OF the
State Board Of the Prohibition PARTY.
in talk with US while in Union last
week, said that the Prohibition
strength in the State is, in his opin-
ion, greater than ever before. He
says the vote at the last election east
for Featherstone is an illustration Of
the strong sentiment in this State
in favor Of prohibition.
He says the prohibitionists are rot
making much fuss but that they are
saving wood, and that while it is not
yet definitely known whether can
didate will be put up by the prohibi-
ton party, the prohibitionists will
not support any man who is not in

UNION THE HUSTLER.

'Hon. A. n. Wood spent vest crday
in the city Of Union on business.
Union is pretty good town but it
takes a hustler like Gafrney to keep
Mr.. Wood in it long at II time, so he
came home yesterday evening""
-Gaffney Ledger 18th.
We are glad to have the good citi-
zens Of Gaffney visit our city and
would be glad for them to make their
stay long enough for us to show them
the town. We have no doubt that it
was n matter Of regret to Mr.. Wood
that the nature of his visit did not
allow him more time to remain and
take in the town. lie was on his
way to Columbia to visit sick child
when he received n telegram here,
that his child was better and he did
not so further. GafTney is spriSht-
ly child, and has a live and wide
awake paper in the Ledger to push it
along. We wish for the little town
continued prosperity. But wien the
Ledger speaks Of Union as "prctty
good town" he don't half express it,
and it makes us smile when Bro. De-
Camp attempts to hold Gatfney up
to Union rs an example in the hus-
| tling business. / our esteemed con-
temporary will compare the Union OF
today with the Union Of ten years
ago, he will sec that Union is the
pilot, and hustler in the broadest uc-
ceptation OF the term. Keep. your
eye on Union for points, brother, in
the hustling business.

General Gomez now occupies the old
Governor Generals summer palace,
place which must havo been grand
few years ago when Spain was in
her glory. The building is similar
to the other government buildings,
but the grounds are more spacious
and beautifully laid out. Cactus and
mangrove make a hedge around the
grounds, the Royal Palms SO to Is
feet high form beautiful avenues, the
walks are bordered with smaller
shrubbery with marble statuary at
most Of the angles and u small fish

l was struck with the contrast be-

ing their homes, if he could catch
them. So well were these orders
carried out that there are villages
near Havana as large as Union with
not soul there now-whole families
have been exterminated and the U. S.
government is now in possession of
real estate for which they can find no
claimant. 1 was told the pitful tale
OF the condition Of these poor help
less creatures, hurdled together on
the side walks starving to death. even
after the L. s. army had entered tho
city and begun to feed them. An
officer, who was on duty during these
times, told me his provost guards
would have to use great care to keep
from stepping on them and every
morning the wagons would be sent
through the parks and streets to
gather up the dead and haul them off.
Dur people think they had u hard
Time when Sherman and his raiders

Dying only the fruits Of high class

Western grain raisers are be-
ginning to understand that the
passage Of the shipping bill will
add so many new American ships
to the foreign carrying trade as to
reduce the rates of ocean transpor-
tation and thus give them larger
portion Of the Liverpool price Of
their products. They will there
fore look askance at the democratic
national platform if it declares for
the free registry Of foreign built
ships with which to build up an
American merchant marine, as they
will know such d contamination
would add nothing to the number
Of ships ID existence and have no
effect in reducing ocean freight

How The Farmer Gained.

Never in American history was
the situation of the American
farmer as distressing as when the
republican party met in convention
in June, 1896. Business confidence
was gone. labor was idle, capital
retired, farm values shrunken, and
the sheriff with his forclosed mort
gage sales the only active man in
rural communities. That con-
vention, planting itself squarely
upon the side Of national hon 81
and business integrity, nominated

National Republican Ticket.
A Democratic Expansionlst.

Judge Reagan, of Texas, one Of
the most prominent democrats Of
the south. said recently in speech
delivered before the democratic
state convention of Texas. He did
not agree with w. j. Bryan and
other leaders of the democratic
party on the expansion question.
He reviewed the acquisition Of
Louisiana territory, florida, Texas
and other possessions, performed
under democratic administrations.
He said the same sort Of arguments
were made against those acqui-
sitions as are now made against the
policy Of the republican party in
that particular BY the democrats.
He said he would never take the
position Of the old federalists on
the expansion question.
~ do not agree with those who
say we ought not to acquire Cuba, !"
he said. 1.-THE result Of the war
with Spain places it within the
power Of the United States to do
more for civilization than any other
nation had the power to do. 1t has
been said we can not acquire this
territory without making states Of
It. Why, the territory of New
Mexico has had population enough
to make state for so years, but
we have not done so. Talk about
giving self.government to the Porto
Ricans and the Filipinos! Why,
there is not sensible man in this
convention who does not know that
those people are not capable of
self-government. =
