organize and join the Federation Of La
Dor. The textile workers are fighting
for the preservation Of their union. The
millowners are trying to destroy the
union. We, therefore, warn organized
labor and wageworkers everywhere Of
the trouble here and urge that working
people Of all classes stay away from
Columbia until this trouble Is settled.
With the cooperation Of all organized
labor we can and will win the fight.
The School Chart Matter Again.
Columbia special of Tuesday to The
News and Courier: 1t will be remem-
bered that sometime ago there was
good deal said about the Evans-Tut-
wiler school charts Mr.. Tutwiler and
his agents sold hundreds Of dollars
worth of charts throughout the state.
Mr.. McMahan objected to the price and
held that 1t was outrageous, and asked
the attorney general If the payment Of
the papers for the charts could not be
stopped. Mr.. Bellinger's Office held
that the school trustees could not issue
notes for future payments, and that
they had to confine their debts to the
year in which their debts were made,
very much on the same line as the ia
nous Goose Creek waterworks case re-
Gently decided by the supreme court.
Acting on the advice Of the attorney
general certain counties refused to pay
the notes when due. The Loan and Ex-
change bank hold a number of these
notes, assigned to them by private par
ties. They have presented them to the
treasurer Of Lexington county, against
whom they were issued, and he refus-
ed to pay them. Now the Loan and Ex-
oI. hnt III to1, a.
Green, asks for a mandamus to compel
the treasurer to pay these claims. Mes
srs. c. M. Efird and Senator Sharpe
appeared for the county treasurer.
Judge Gary heard the argument in the
case today and will render his decision
In the case later. There are a number
of parties who hold these claims who
will be interested in this proceeding.
Some of the counties paid them, not
withstanding the view announced by
the attorney generals office.
The Speech OF Mr.. Carey.
Mr.. John c. Carey, president of the
Lockhart mills, was enabled to speak
at Spartanburg through the courtesy
Of Mr.. A. c. Latimer, who yielded a
part of the time that had been appor-
toned to him by the committee. In
his report of the proceedings, the cor
respondent Of the Columbia State re-
fers to Mr.. Carey's speech as follows:
"Mr. Carey was greeted with vigorous
applause and was given a most respect
full hearing. He made quite an elo-
quent defense Of the cotton mill presi-
dents. He said that an honorable class
Of men had been attacked at Union and
their character had been assailed. He
was not politician; but merely wish
ed to present q few facts. He gave an
interesting account Of who these mill
men were; most Of them true South
Carolinians; Confederate soldiers and
sons Of Confederate soldiers. Others
were those who had come and cast their
lot among us. He pictured what they
had done for the state. He denounced
the politicians for having brought on
this war, and said that now that it was
on we ought to accept the consequences
and do the best possible. The mill pres
idents were all men Of peace. He gave
an outline of expansion as the mill men
saw it-an expansion Of trade. He
said, Expansion as the mill men under
stand it is the reaching out from our
own shores and extending to the marts
Of the world, with our ships sailing un-
der our own flag. laden with American
products Of the loom, Of the shop, Of
the mine and of the field.'"
Died Of His Wounds.
Columbia Record, Wednesday: Mr.
Thomas Watson, who was shot last
Monday by Barlow Warren, died at the
hospital this morning at $50 o'clock.
He was brought here yesterday, and as
stated in The Record. the physicians
had no hope Of his recovery. Indeed 1t
was most remarkable that he lived as
long as he did. considering the serious

bullet. AnotbsesbuIlet cut through the
intestinssa Third lodged in the spinal
cord and the fourth went through the
palm Of his left hand. Any one Of the
first three wounds would ordinarily
prove fatal in few hours. But Wat
sons constitution and mental endur-
ance was such that 1t was thought II he
could be taken to the hospital and
proper operations were performed. there
might be some slight chance Of recov-
cry. DR.. Guerry and the hospital staff
performed two operations. One was
taking the bullet out of the head and
the other was sewing up the perfora-
ted intestines. The operations were
performed with very slight hope that
the mans life would be saved, for 1t
could not have been without them. But
after lingering until $50 this morning,
he died. The remains were taken in
charge by Mccormick & Pletscher, un-
dertakers. and were embalmed for bur-
ial. The body will be taken to Branch
vile. The deceased was the only wit
ness against Warren, who is accused
Of committing an express robbery on
the Charleston division of the South
ern railway. Warren has fled, but
there is reward of $400 for his cap
ture. It was stated today that 1t was
thought that Warren would be captur-
ed in day or two. It Is reported that
he has not gone far from Branchville.
