Georgia Cracker: Mrs. Sally Simp-
son, near Gillsville, Banks county was
killed Monday morning by another
white woman named Sallie Hicks. 1t
seems that the two women, who were
said to be of a low character, had been
living in a house a mile or two from
the town. They had some msunder-
standing about a man who had been
visiting the place, and the Hicks wo-
man became greatly enraged and re-
turned to the house at O'Clock in the
morning with shotgun and killed the
Simpson woman. The murderess has
been arrested and placed in jail. She
is a sister of Jess Hicks of Gainesville.
and up to short time ago lived on the
outskirts of this city.

FLORIDA.

Gainesville Sun: The mysterious
grounds known as the Florida Ever
glades, may, within a very few years
be a memory of the past, and where
the swamp and sluggish bayou now
reign supreme, acres of rich sugar land
will add their share towards the pros
perity of the Southern country. The
imaginary terrors surrounding the dis
trict, terrors which it has been a spe-
cial object of the hunter and the In
dian to add to by blood curdlng leg
end, rather than to soften, which will
give place to the matter-of--fact push
of the twentieth century commercial
ism, for the district is to be explored.
A company was recently chartered to
drain the district by cutting a ship
canal, and another company has been
incorporated to cross 1t with a rail-
road and telegraph line from the Gulf
to the Atlantic. 1t is expected, there.
fore, that the tourist of a few years
hence will find a new scenic route for
his exploration, for the very glamor
which has surrounded the Everglades
will be a prime drawing card.
QUEEREsT OF ALL STRIKES.
When Joaquin Menedez, cigar manu-
facturer, grants the demands of Joa
quin Menendez, cigarmaker. the fac
tory owned by the former will resume
work. When it is taken into considera-
tion that Joaquin Menedez, the manu-
facturer, and Joaquin Menendez, the
cigarmaker are one and the same, the
most peculiar of all the freak strikes
in Tampa is shown to the public.
The cigarmaker makes demands of
himself, that as manufacturer he
will not grant, and consequently there
is a strike and cessation of business.
About one year ago Menendez became
weary of making cigars for other peo-
pie and opened a factory of his own.
He was a member of Resistencia orr
ganization and consequently kept his
membership and began manufacturing,
doing his own work. He has never en-
ployed any one in his factory and
worked along making cigars enough
TO supply his small trade and living
easy. Six weeks ago when Resisten-
cha issued its strike order, as cigar
maker, Menendez promptly laid down
his knife and walked out of the fac
tory. AS a cigar manufacturer he
closed the doors of his place, rendered
his account to the internal revenue Of
flee and business stopped. 1t is one of
the most unique of all the strikes
which have ever been perpetrated by
Resistencia in this city, and the recent
list showed a number of freaks in this
line.

The weekly examiner., 1901-06-15

THE very fatherly care of which we read as bestowed by the Farrell Foundry Go. of Ansonia on their new found workmen, in providing for them "all the comforts of home within the walls of the workshop and a guard of honor outside to save them from bodily harm at the hands of striking workmen, ia an evidence that all our wealthy people are not opposed to the spirit of "paternal- ism," if they are to the theory, as ap- piled to state or national govern ment. This must be encouraging to our Socialist brethren, who at the farthest never contended for the principle that the government should procure food and bed for its workers as we'll as work and wages.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.
Another Step of the Civilization
 That .Creeps Along Slowly.

That .Creeps Along Slowly. In Germany system of pensions fol old Workingmen is in practical opera ton.
 In France the system is discussed by the legislators, and it will undoubtedly be adopted. The idea is to compel ev. cry workingman to pay or 2 cents per day, according to his wages, the em- ployer and the state each contributing the same amount. This amount will be invested and kept as fund for the payment of pensions to workmen more than 65 years of age, their pension be- ing proportioned to the number of days of labor during which they have con- tributed to the fund.
 It is really pathetic to learn that this feeble attempt to meet the problem of poverty stricken old age is opposed as socialistic even in France, where snug plutocracy has received so many hard knocks.
 The assessment of a few cents per day on very small wages and very small pension, just enough to buy bread, at the age of 65 is certainly not a delirious1y cheerful outlook for the pdmporeQ WOrk1ngman.
 But even the admission that some thing ought to be done to protect the old age of a man who has worked hard for 90 years is a step forward. Here and there governments are gradually feeling that they ought to do for their old workmen what the average kind hearted man will do for his old horse, give him chance to die peaceably on a slim diet.
 This attempt to organize pensions for old workmen is one of the little wrig- glings of society. It is one in million of the millions of efforts which are des- decently organized.
 Tn time the destiny of the working man will be very different from that just now discussed by those who advo- cate a small pension for men who are about to die, worn out with hard work.
 When a few more centuries shall have rolled around, all men will be workingmen, and all work will be hon. ored and attractive.
 Men will do their work willingly and cheerfuHy and thoroughly, because they will take an interest ill it and be- cause they will work under pleasant conditions.
 They will be well provided for while they are working and perfectly pro- vided for when their working days are done.
 The class which accumulates and ab- sorbs what it does not need and de- lights in grinding the unfortunate will have disappeared.
 We shall then have reached the be ginning of genuine civilization.-New York Evening Journal.

THE Connecticut legislature ap- pears to have very novel as we'll as effective way of disposing of the use fulness of members indiscreet enough to give away any of the secret work of the order. This was very pleasantly illustrated the other day when the member from Vernon arose to express himself on the pro- posed measure for the proposed con- stitutional amendment, by very animated outburst of applause, long continued until the good man was forced to resume his seat without be- ing heard. Simply this because a little while before he had referred to the matter of bribery as practiced in that honorable body The town of Vernon will doubtless be more care full the next time in selection of its representative to the state capitol SO as not to again incur the penalty of disfranchisement. And there seems to be nothing in this peculiar oper- ation that calls for line of editorial comment from the very bright and critical partisan press of the capitol city. Had it been "Populist" or Socialist" law making body, how the editorials would string out in con- demnation of the corruption and rascality involved.

" THE proverbial mountain in labor only to bring forth a puny mouse is once again illustrated by the action of our Connecticut legislature in passing the measure submitting to the people the question as to whether or not the constitution needs remod- cling, after the plans and specified tions of the statesmen of the little towns--those who see nothing wrong in little town of 100 citizens having double the representation of another town of more than ten times that number.

pensioning the retiring judges was to be inaugurated there was no telling where it would stop and that those on whom the line was drawn would then work for the abolition of the measure or use 1t to show the com mon people how they were wronged and discriminated against--taxed to ensure the best of living to few men who did nothing in return for what they received, while the great mass of humanity were obliged to dig and delve for scanty living while. able, without the hope of a dollar when old age came on and they were thrown outside the active circle of exchange, charge on friends, or on the whole community through the poor-house program. So the name of "state referee" was improvised to cover up the scheme, realizing that under such a name the easily be- fooled people would never come to know what it stood for.
 Now as a matter of principle no humane man or woman can oppose the policy of pension to our super annuated people whose necessities of life call for 1t. If they are entitled to life at the hands of the commu- nifty while unable to provide for themselves, it logically follows that they are entitled to that by which life Is to be sustained. What must be objected to Is this giving or taking of 1ife's sustenance under false pre- tences; and especially allowing 1t to one who needs 1t not at all, or at least not nearly so much as those en- tirely debarred from the bounty.
 Yet, here are those superannuated gentlemen who for years have lived in the enjoyment of a munifcent sal ary, drawn from the public purse, and who are naturally suspected of having a goodly reserve slowed away for the rainy day in the autumn of life, receiving an annual pension of $2,0O0, while the poor hard-working man, whose daily compensation for indispensable services never covered more than the bare necessaries of life, and consequently with no re- serve to fall back on, isn't considered as deserving of such recognition, or any recognition at all.
 Here is where strike of the disinherited. unprovided-for and discriminated-against working man would indicate much more sagacity and accomplish far more enduring results than strike in the work shop against industrial conditions born largely of his own indifference or direct making. Yet here Is where that strike Is most unlikely to happen.

ANOTHER 2,ooo PAUPER-
 IS IT
We find the following in one of our

We find the following in one of our Connecticut leading newspapers The announcement this morning of the resignation of Chief Justice An l drews Is unquestionably correct and it will no doubt be communicated to the general assembly this morning by the governor
 The first sentiment to express itself will be one of regret that ill-health has compelled the chief justice to re- tire nearly four years before the con stltutional limit of age has been reached. While unable to continue the arduous labors of his present office, he is still in what seems to the casual observer to be reasonably good condition, and 1t will be only the customary and natural course to make him state referee, as has been done for each supreme court judge who has retired on account of age since the referees office was created.
 To those of our readers who may not be aware of just what the duties or a state referee are, we beg to in- form them that it is position estab- lished by law for the purpose of giv- ing, certain favored individuals an opportunity of drawing $2,OOO a'year from the state treasury in return for the labor and service of signing the receipt therefor. The institution Is about as useful as would be the fifth wheel to an empty wagon.
 What was 1t instituted for, then i? you ask. Why, simply to throw dust in the eyes of the people that they might not see that their superan- nuated judges were retired on pen sion. An effort was made outrigh to call 1t by this name, but 1t was considered dangerous by the discreet ones, who saw that if the policy of

BLIND LEADERS OF THE
 BLIND.


 We notice that some of the trade union leaders are around using the phrase of ''Nine hours work with ten hours pay" It is evident that these men know very little of the ethics of the labor movement. Their reading and study must have been along other 1ines-perhaps those of the Some intelligent workman who has bit of the philosopher in him ought to get hold of the ear of those fel- lows, one after the other, who essay to teach the uninitiated the advan- tages of labor organization, and after giving the same a few gentle twinges then whisper into 1t long and loud that there's no such thing known in the philosophy of the subject as an absolute "ten hours pay.'' That when he speaks of demanding ''ten hours pay for nine hours work he is placing himself in the position of demanding one hours pay for noth- ing, and as such is only blind lead CT of the blind, an ignorant Pleader for a cause he doesn't understand,
 Why do not the big leaders of the movement call these men down for their blunders or have them called Tn from a display of their ignorance? Or is 1t that the big leaders are no more intelligent than the little ones; and that all are merely actuated by the desire of getting all they can Tn the game regardless of whether 1t be more or less than that to which they are equitably entitled It looks like 1t.
 A man properly fitted to go out in propagation of the cause of indus trial advancement for the wage work CT would first undertake to settle the question of the length of the work ing day-what it should be in the ideal, and then under the conditions existing. This settled the subject of compensation presents itself-What ought to be fair days wages for a fair days work? Each question should be discussed and acted on apart on its own merits, and not mix them up as we have been having them in the present controversy Who ever heard the employer when reducing the wages of the employe, talking of ten hours work for nine hours pay? No one. He knew better tliaasal1 Go So express himself. If there was never then nine hours pay for ten hours labor in the fact of being forced to work 10 hours to- day for the same compensation as received for only nine hours work yesterday, how can there be a ten hours pay for a nine hours work when the matter becomes reversed
 We wish that some of our intelli- gent Examiner readers would send a marked copy of this paper to these blind leaders of the blind they may happen to hear or know of as out in the work of spreading the light" and gathering the stray industrial sheen into the fold.
