There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For n great
many years doctors pronouced it
a local disease, and prescribed To-
cal remedies, and by constantly
failing TO euro with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proved catarrh to be
Il constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat

factured by f. j. Cheney a. Co.,

What the Census Will Show.

Among other things the census will
show as to this town that its popula-
tion has about trebled in the last de-
cade.
That a cotton oil mill with plant,
including an ice factory and cold stor.
age plant, worth sixty thousand dol
lars has been established and is paying
ten and fifteen per cent.
That steam laundry has been es-
tablished, that two bonded ware
houses have been established, that a
new union passenger depot has been
Quilt, that Il fine system Of graded
schools has been established and Il
splendid school building and lot pur-
chased, that the main street of the
town for two miles has been macada.
mlZed that cement payements have
been laid in the business portion of the
town, that successful bank has been
established, perhaps two, two having
been established previously.
That cotton mill with a plant
worth seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars has been established and
is paying handsome dividends, that
three OF the handsomest and mos,
costly churches IN the state have been
built, that the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens RAILROAD has been eX
tended to this city, that system of
water works has been installed, that a
system of electric lighs has been in
stalled.
Besides these achievements of
more or less public character, scores
OF liourishing stores and private enter
priscs have been added and are now
prospcring. Houses by the hundreds
have been erected, including a par
tlcularly handsome hotel and MANY
beautiful and costly private resi-
dences. Nevertheless, during this de.
cade Laurens suffered q series of
calamitous fires and went through n
stage OF extreme business depression.
For the last five or six years there has
been scarcely any important business
failures and the business of the com
munity seems to be generally on a
sound foundation. All this has been
done with little blowing about it. The
year 1900 opens with all business con-
ditlons more promising than ever for
further development. What has been
done In the past ten years can be done
ten times over with less strain than
the former required.
What is the next step in the for
ward march?

NO COMPROMISE, OPERATORS SAY.

The coal operators Of this city adhere to thei-
determination to resist the demands of the work
men. The justice or injustice of the mems de-
mands does not TO be engaging the atten-
ton Of the operators much the fact that
II they grant concessions at this juncture 1t will
be in obedience to the pressure being exerted
upon them by q trades union. Did they give
way now the operators assert. 1t would be tanta-
mount to placing their coal properties in the
troll af the United Mine Workers organization.
How greatly the operators are stirred against
the leaders of this organization made ap
parent yesterday at conference between Father
Phillips, of Hazeton Penn, who has worked as
siduously, night and day. for weeks past to avert
a strike and representatives of the Delaware and
Hudson, Hillside Coal and Iron. Lehigh Valley,
Lehigh and Wikesbarre. Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western and Pennsylvania Coal companies.
Father Phillips came to New York for the pur-
pose of inducing the operators to meet delegates
OF the miners with a view tc effecting a settle
ment Of the differences which have arisen. But
while the operators were not averse to meeting
committees of their employees. they emphatically
refused to negotiate in any way with the United
M;ne Workers organization. The attitude of the
mine owners was made clear in the following
statement which was made by Father Philips
after the conference:
have seen the executive officers of all the
coal mining companies and they , are unanimous i
mittees of their own employ es whenever they have
any grievances TO make known or wish 10 see them
all times for their mutual interests They will not
however, recognize outside interference in any
manner. regarding such as an unnecessary and
they will not recognize the right of any organiza-
ton subject outside influence to dictate the
policy under which they will conduct the business
Of operating their mines. No demands have been
made or grievances presented by the employees
of the several companies to their employers If
such exist they must be presented in proper form.
that is. by their own employees, and by no other
persons.
Father Phillips said in addition that he would
see the miners on his return and advise them
OF the result of his conference here, and also
confer with them further the situation. in the

THE NEWS AT HAzLETON.

Hazletor Penn. Sept. 12-The first news Of
the declaration of the coal strike caused crowds
OF people to gather the streets. Business
men, when they heard taat the order to strike
was at last cut. greatly deplored the action
taken, and fear that they viii suffer heavily if
the strike continues long. Business had been
completely paraigZec foT the last two weeks on
account Of the threatened trouble and the word
from Indie2cpoiis has added to the depression.
While bus!ness men fear the beginning Of the
strike, collery superintendents who could be

await eve'o-llenfs-
1t is certain that al the United Mine Work

whether the noR~unjon men employed at sur
