HE WOULDN'T TELL.

Not long ago a merchant employed
= clerk who had been discharged
from another house in the same
line. a few days afterwards one of
the heads of the office was anxious
to know what terms the other house
made to a certain customer. He
went to the young clerk for the in
formation. The clerk hesitated,
looked distressed and finally asked
so be excused from replying.
I know the facts, of course" he
said. "but I don't think I ought to
tell.
The department head became an
CRY and reminded him pretty sharply
that, having been discharged from
the other house, he didn't owe it
anything in the way of keeping its
secrets. Nevertheless, the young
man stood firm, and the matter was
reported to the head of tle house,
who at once cOmplimented him on

There are few things more danger
Gus to the average business house
than the thoughtless tattling of en-
pIOyees. Every establishment has
secrets-that is, matters of private
character which are as much the ex-
elusive property Of the house as is
the stock on the shelves. Clerks
come into a knowledge of these Sc
cret>, and the more important the
secret Is the more likely are they to
tell it. Every employee ought to I'M
derstund that the affairs of his en-
ployer are things he has no more
right to give away than he would
have the right to give away his mer
ohandise. Young men who proceed
on this principle are pretty certain
to win esteem.-Ex.

OUR SHARE IN MAKING THE WORLD

Are we doing our share in making
the world better? Are we doing
anything in that line? There is GER

possibilities and capabilities of ser

well for US to face squareIy our duty,

Correspondence.
AN ALLIANCE COTTON FACTORY PRO
POSED.

Dear Brother AIiancemen of Column.
bus County:
For a number of years we have
been studying the position of the
farmer. While it is true that the
farmer is the backbone and sinew of
the country, while all towns and
cities are fed from the farm and
every line of business and all
branches of industry are supported
by the farm, still we find the farmer
the most dependent and with the
least protection of any class of peo-
pie on earth before the market of
the world and why? Because they
are not properly organized. In
union there is strength.
We do not want to organize against
anything, an individual trust nor
corporation, but we want to organize
for our own benefit and to our own
advantage and to his end we will en-
deavOr to give below, our plan of or
~ganizatiOn and some of it's benefits.
1st. Organize our farmers into the
Farmers Alliance until we have a
number of one thousand or more.
End. Organize those thousand men
into a cooperative stock company,
fixing the shares at one dollar, each
member taking as many shares as he
desires until there is enough money
raised to put machinery in a cotton
factory. Though the plant be small
at the beginning, it will increase it.
self more than a hundred fold annu-
ally.
Now to show some of the profits,
and to make it plain we will suppose
we have all the machinery necessary
in operation and money surplus in
the treasury, to pay for the cotton.
We will say we get 10 cents a pound
for Our cotton at the gin this first
10 cents pays u fertilizer bills and
farm expenses, yet THAT same cotton
that we have sold once is still ours
to manufacture into cloth, and when
that Is done we put it on the market
and sell the cloth ut z cents per yard
and counting 3 yards of cloth to a
pound of cotton would make 81
cents more for the same cotton that
we had sold once for 10 cents, max
ing a total of 81 cents, per pound.
Taking out as expenses, 10 cents
the first mentioned sale and 10 cents
for manufacturing the cotton into
cloth with will leave a net profit of
II cents per pound in the treasury.
Now brethren, the above plan not
only gives US a net profit on our
cotton, but it does more than that,
it gives US u ready market on a solid
foundation. We establish our own
prices and have no n debating
prices to US either in selling or buy
ing.
Whe believe, and we know that
Columbus county can its
cotton crop and control its OWL mar
ket in this way.
We would be glad to hear from
any one one this subject whether he
be an AlIianceman or not. Give US
your ideas. Respectfully,
S. F. THOMPSON.

Children'S Column.
YOU'VE GOT IT.

If you're sore
To the core,
With aching bones,
And husky tones
When you speak,
And you're weak
In the knees,
And you sneeZe,
And often cough
Your head near off,
And you note
That your THROAT
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Feels as if
You'd got a biff,
And dull pains
VeX your brains,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
If you feel
The heat steal
Der your frame
Like a flame,
Till YOU burn
And you yearn
For chunks of ice
At any price,
Then like a flash
The shivers dash
From head to feet,
A chill complete
And you shake,
And you bake,
And there's desire
For a fire,
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quickly drink,
And you think
Right there and then
You'll ne'er be warm again,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
It's in the air,
It's everywhere
The microbe of the grip
- on another trip,
And up and down,
Through all the town,
By night and day
1t seeks its prey.
And its the fad
II YOU are sad,
Or even mad,
Or If YOU SneeZe,
Or cough or wheeZe,
Or feel too warm,
Or chlllS alarm,
To wear "a look Of grim dismay
And hoarSely say:
I've caught it,
I've got it
Its the grip"

THE DYNAMITE EXPLODED.
A. Resait sir Men Are Dead and
Several Others Are Not Ex-
pected TO Live.

ksyser. ". Va, Dec. 29.-One of the
most disastrous accidents in the his
tory CT railroad building in this sec
tion happened at Baker camp. near
Durbin, Pocahontas county. on the
line of the Coal & Iron railroad now
building out from EllSins. As the re-
suit of dynamite explosion SIX men
are dead and several others are not
expected TO live. The accident hap
pened while the men were at dinner.
Some dynamite had been placed
about the stove to thaw out, and
shortly after a terrific explosion
wrecked the camp, killed three men
outright and injured eight others.
three of whom have since died. The
dead men were blown into atoms.
Physicians hurried from Green Bank
and worked all night with the wound
ed, some of whom begged the doc
tors to shoot them instead of help
ing them to live to be blinded or
nziined fcf life. On account of indi-
rect connections with the camp i. IS
impossible to secure the complete de-
tails
