CharlestOn's Tigers.

The State Constables have been attendi 6
to the blind tigers in Charleston In busi-
ness-like manner. They at last demonstrated
that 1t was perfectly easy to break up the
places which have 80 long defied the law.
Although many Of the higher or greater
places for the Illicit sale of liquor were raided,
we have seen no published accounts OF the
calling out Of the militia or the holding Of In
dignation meetings by the citizens Of the
good old town.
At this distance 1t seemed that there is no
more difficulty In breaking up blind tiger In
Charleston than there would be in disturb
ing the animal II he were in Abbeville.
1t is all talk when anybody says that the
tigers cannot be molested In Charleston.
But suppose there is difficulty in making
the Illicit liquor dealers comply with the re-
quirements OF the law, the effort TO teach
them lesson should be made.
All honor TO everybody who may be behind
the constables In the discharge of their duty.
II 1t Is the Governor, then honor to him. II
1t Is State Board of Control, then honor to
them.
Since the recent publications by the News
and Courier and other papers 1t Is useless to
repeat the old story that the law cannot be
enforced anywhere, 1t can be enforced, II
the officers do their duty. II the officers re-
fuse to do their duty, then the people ought
to know 1t.

Strikers and Corporations.

Never in the history OF the country has
there been as many strikes as have occurred
within the last two months. A greater num-
Der OF men Quit their work than ever before
at any one time.
In a few instances the strikers may have
gained something, but in the majority OF
cases that have terminated the strikers have
lost.
There are many who are yet holding out,
and still refuse to work, except on the condi-
tions demanded, namely, higher pay or
shorter hours.
Without discussing the merit or demerit
between employer and employee, there is one
good thing aboutit
Strikes always attest the prosperity OF the
country.
When there is little TO do, and many 10 do
it, there are no strikes. Every man holds to
his job as long as he can.
When there Ia rush OF work, then is the op.
portunity for demanding higher pay, fewer
hours, or other desirable concessions.
But whether strikes are successful or not.
severe losses are sustained by both parties,
and in some instances good men suffer very
greatly.
When men throw up their situations. which
are gladly taken by others, hardship is in
flicted and good men have suffered more
from the societies or organizations to which
they belong than they have ever suffered at
the hands of the corporations which have
paid them higher wages than they can get
elsewhere.
From our view point, corporations are the
best friends OF mechanics or others who toll
for a living. They pay higher wages than any
individual could pay. corporations pay the
highest wages that are paid in this city.
Very few men In this city receive from pri'
vate industries over $50 a month. A great
number Of men at the railroad shop, at the
cotton mill, at the oil mill, and at the banks
receive salaries ranging from $500 to 5000 a
year.
Much of the cry against corporations, and
possibly some Of it against trusts. is unjust
and In the prejudice that exists against them
the fact Ia forgotten that there is in this coun.
try enough money to duplicate every indus.
trial enterprise and every mile OF railroad
track in the land. When these enter.
prises attempt great imposition, public spir.
tied citizens will build new industries and
new railroads.

The Bible Society.

Seventy-Eighth Annual Meeting Of the Alb:
bevile District Bible Society Is advertised for
Wednesday, July 80, which will take place at
II O'Clock in the Methodist church in this
city.
1t has been suggested to us that 1t would be
we'll for our people to make effort to hs!ve
aid Of the laudable purpose. iour mercantile
houses might suspend business for an hour
and close their doors during the meeting.
The suggestion we think is a good one, and
we doubt not that our people will be unit
on this occasion.
AS 1t Is evident that interest in these me ct
ings have waned In the last few years, 1t
would seem that something should be done to
make the meetings more interesting.
This newspaper is not certain what course
is best TO. pursue to bring the best results, but
1t occurs TO us that the occasion is chiefly a
business meeting, and excepLincidentally,i is
not an assembly for religious services. The
object Of the society Is TO raise money for the
printing Of the Holy Scriptures, and for the
distribution of the same.
II therefore, less time was taken up In de-
votional exercise, greater number OF busi-
ness men and others would attend business
meeting of the society which is always inter-
esting.
A suggestion While the statement of the
General Agent Of the American Bible Society
is intensely interesting, yet as rule, tired
people get very little good from hearing sta
tisties read. II that officer Of the SoAety
will furnish the copy of the statistics, togeth.
er with other facts of interest, which he
will, without cost to the Society. print the
same, and put copies on the pews. so that ev-
cry person present may have the matter IN
print, and which he can carry home with
him, read at his leisure, and keep for future
reference.
If the agents report was printed, and laid
on the pews, people would have the report In
more permanent form.
Let not the officers OF the Society propose a
compromise by excusing attendants upon the
meeting Immediately after the religious SER
vices. The business connected with the So
ciety is the raising Of money for the printing
and distributing the Bible to the destitute
in this and other lands, and is therefore the
most interesting as we'll az the most impor-
tant part Of the meeting.
Let the people for one day In the year for:
get their own needs and assume that they
have the gospel in abundanc ce. and out of the
abundance Of their supply, are willing to
spare a little for the heather abroad and
someting and give to the destitute at home.
