He arrived Sunday and will be here sew

Ever since the Legislature has been
in session there has been some Nuts
of his impeachment, and since the im-
peachment proceedings against Justices
Furches and Douglas began these hints
have grown into bold threats on The
part of Ninth district members, both
Democrats and Republicans. In fact,
so far has the matter gone. that one

TO CuRrA1L PRODUCTION.
Southern Spinning Men viii Meet in Char
lOtte Saturday.

Charlotte, N. c.. Feb. 1.-THE South
ern Cotton Spinners' Association is
called to meet here on February 16 to
arrange for curtailment of production,
probably Of from 33 to so per cent.
"Curtailment" says Dr. j. H Me-
Alden, president of the association, lis
deemed imperative because it is impos-
sible for a manufacturer to work 91s
cent cotton into manufactured goods
and make profit; and the Southern
manufacturers are now losing cent
or more on every pound of goods OF
course the advance in cotton is respon-
sible for the present condition. AS the
market now stands a manufacturer
could not make profit unless cotton
sold in the neighborhood of ~ cents.
The raw material must decline in price
or the manufactured product must go
up"

MAsTIN SAW THE HAMS, TOO.
Blalock Calls on Mastin to Corroborate Him
About Good Dinner at Pen.

Representative Blalock of Stanley,
rose in the House yesterday to vindi-
cate himself. 1T seems that a citizen
signing himself Joe Merritt wrote to
The Morning Post scoring Mr.. Blalocl1
for protesting against the wages Of the
prison guards being raised. In the
course Of the letter, the correspondent
said when he says that he visited
the penitentiary and saw the guards
sitting down to a log-rolling dinnGr,
with two hams on the table, he tells
that which is absolutely false. There
is no truth in it whatever. l
and my comrades are proud to say we
voted for a man who has pleaded our
case and worked with untiring zeal fol
the good of his constituents.
Blalock, you can roar on the legisa-
tive floor.
But you are not the man TO represent
the poor.
Mr.. Blalock read the letter to the
House. and said: Now. i call upon Mr.
Mastin. He was with me when we vis-
tied the penitentiary. ! ask him if he
didn't see those two hams of meat?'
Mr. Mastin renlied that he had GER
tainly seen the two hams upon the Oc-
casion in question.

kee Indian chief. who rendered such val
liable services to General Jackson in the
War of 1912. by breaking the power Of the
Greek Indians at Horse Shoe Bend.
Mr.. Maunev, of Graham. who introduced
the bill. made an interesting speech in
its behalf, telling of the valorous deeds of
the great Indian, and how the government
had repaid aim with land and money.
On its second reading the bill passed
by 2 vote o. 30 to 27. but it never came
to vote on the third reading. the op-
ctr
eral members thought the State should
not make an appropriation of that ma
ture when the needs OF education were
so great as they are.
Mr.. Nicholson, of Beaufort, opposed the
bill simply because he thought we would
not be authorized to spend $500 at this
time because the schools need so much
money.
Mr.. Carraway. of Lenoir, said he
thought, before we erected monument
to the Indian chief. we ought to erect one
to the memoir of Richard Caswell, the
First Governor of North Carolina, who
gave years Of service to the State.
Mr.. Pearson. of Wake, opposed the
spending of the mOney when the poor
children of the State need education.
Mr.. Alexander. of Rutherford. said he
would much rather do something for the
heroes of The Civil War. who are still
living.
Mr.. Curtis. Of Buncombe, was against
the bill because it put the appropriation
in the hands of a private individual with
full power to erect such monument as he
should $50 fit.
Judge Graham. of Granville suggested
that the Governor be the one to have
charge of the matter. He considered the
bill a merritorious one, but favored it's
re- -committal to the committee. in order
that the matter Of the management of the
appropriation might be more satisfactorily
provided for.

The discipline in the Republican party
is ut low stage. The Democrats are
in better condition, although their diff
ferences are much wider and more Sc
rious OF late the Republicans in Con-
gress have shown an Independent spirit
that was never seen twenty or even ten
years ago, and it is no longer a political
crime for a Republican Senator or Repre-
sentative to vote against the propositions
contained in the national platform of his
party when an attempt is made to en-
body the main legislation.
The revolt against the Porto Rican
bill, the reciprocity treaties and the Sub
sidy Bill are a few of the most conspic-
uous Illustrations of this tendency and
there is a good deal Of anxiety TO know
whether the Republicans will stick to-
gether on the Cuban policy OF the admin
istration.

THE UNION BUSINESS AGENT.

The trade union business agent is like
the poet-he Is born, not made. 1t is
quite true that associations will some-
times develop his talent qualifications
and convey the impression that he is
the outgrowth of the government itself.
This, however. is an error. He must
have certain natural gifts, besides re-
markable control over himself. He
must understand and conciliate those
who think him too conservative. When
a task has to be performed that many
shrink from because of its unpleasant
ness, the business agent must take it
upN The employers sometimes accuse
him of stirring up trouble, when in
their estimation, there is no reason for
1t. The bushes agent must be able to
speak to the shrewd business man just
as well as he does with the members
Of the organization that employs him.
He must be as Arm and unbending as
Gilbralter at times. while again he has
to be relenting and generous. No mat
ter how theoretically man may work,
sometimes things will go wrong in spite
of himself, and should things 60 wrong
with the business agent he is promptly
called to account for it.. When things
go right with him and he builds up an
organization that is not only beneficial
to the workers, but to the entire indus
try, he seldom gets the credit he de-
serves. Then it is that the members
take the honors from him and proclaim
to the world that I'VE did it," Too often
the green-eyed monster plays an i'm
portant part in making life miserable
for the business agent. Still, the born:
delegate treats jealousy with contempt.
It happens, however, that this jealousy
at times throws him out upon the street
only to find that every employer has
closed his doors to him, and that even
among the men whom he serves with
such energy and zeal, he has less
friends than he counted\ He seldom
has any money after his term of office
expires, because incidental expenses are
such that even if he is of close habits
he very seldom does as we'll as he did
when he worked for the ordinary
journeymen's wages at the trade. He
is the general in the labor movement,
and when he wins a victory he is kept
as busy trying to prevent the workers
from destroying what he has secured
for them as he was when he was striv-
ing to attain his object.
There are few, very few, first-class
business agents, and the union that has
in it's service man who answers all Of
the qualifications, who has been in the
harness and is experienced, has a man
that should be kept at any price.

GOD HATES A COWARD.

God hates a coward. Man hates a
coward. The cowardly attitude assum-
ed by some wage workers who from
fear of discharge decline to Join the un-
ion of their trade, although aware of
the fact that their conditions, in some
instances, are more deplorable than
that of the former southern slave, can
only be improved through trade union
efforts, merits the consideration of all
trades untonfsts. It seems strange that
men seemingly intelligent should per-
NIT men to become supreme rulers over
their homes and future prospects. It
seems strange that me will submit to
system Of serfdom that provides
ought else but sorrow and hardships. 1t
seems strange that men will allow their
children to suffer through the avari-
ciousness Of an employer when by join
ing the union of his trade he may be-
come an Independent worker and the
owner of happy home and happy
family. But let US see whether the
trades unionists have done all in their
power to allay this fear of discharge.
Unions send out organizers to urge
wage workers to become members of
the particulars union they may repre-
sent. They organize unions, receive the
charter fee and allow the newly formed
union to get along the best way It may.
In some instances the employers have
taken summary action and discharged
every person In their employ who dared
to join the union. What provisions
have trade unions made for occurances
of this kind? Wage workers who from
fear Of discharge refuse to join the UNI
ion Of their trade are to be pitied. Pit

UN|0NIST CONDEMNATION.

Every trade unionist in the country
condemns the shooting Of President
Mckinley. The trade unionist is not q
revolutionist, but rather an evolution
list. He is engaged in a cause that is
endeavoring to better the economic
we'll being of the masses. He knows
the history of the past. He knows that
revolutions may have possibly checked
the degeneracy of governments, but he
knows more than that. They have in
variably left the great masses of the
people in the same economic condition.
The great revolution in France NAV
have checked the degeneracy Of the
reigning government, otherwise it in
no way improved the economic condi-
tions of the masses. On the other hand.
the organization Of the producers in
trade unions in England, not only had
the effect Of checking the degeneracy
OF the government, but it improved the
economic condition of the toilers an
we'll.
In the first instance oceans Of blood
was shed and myriads of precious hum
an lives were sacrifice on the alter of
patriotism, with no resultant improves
ment in the economic condition of tho
masses, while in the second instance
not drop blood or a life was Sacrificed
and, nevertheless, great benefits &C.
crued to the workers in increased wages
and improved factory and genera
working conditions.

orderly development Of the real work.
ing class movement, the trade union
alone the lines Of the least resistance,
the least cost, the smallest sacrifice and
the greatest resultant benefits. Hence
the trade unionist cannot believe in
violence, in murder, or in bloodshed.
His methods stand out In bold relief
when contrasted with the Revolutionary
eccentric methods Of such reactionary
characters as Czolgosz. ::
