The Savannah morning news., 1902-10-06

In Jersey City day or two ago a man
offered to exchange a $500 diamond
brooch for a ton of anthracite coal.
Nobody would take up the proposition.
1t was doubtless suspected that the
brooch did not belong to the man who
made the offer. which eventually
proved to be the case. The jewel had
been lost on train and the man had
found it; and very shortly he was
found and had to give it up.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS TRUST.

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS TRUST.
The bad judgment manifested by the
merging their society with trades
union organization has been censured
among the best and most intelligent
classes of the general public. The
better class of teachers are opposed to
it. The better the people understand
the matter the more vigorous will
be their opposition to the step which
the teachers trust has taken.
If few thousand teachers become
members of professional trust in
evitably they will teach the extreme
doctrine of trades unionism in their
schools-not directly as a part of the
studies. perhaps, but indirectly by
precept and example The children
could not fail to imbibe the lessons in
socialism.
The national labor federation at New
Orleans has just had contest with
socialism. and it was by strong and
concerted effort on the part of the
more conservative element that the
socialists were prevented from getting
control of the national organization.
The Graphic has no protest to make
against organized labor, and it has al
ways defended organized labor in its
contentious when it believed it to be
i'll the right, and it has not hesitated to
criticise it whenever ii thought it to
be wrong, 1t will be ever thus with
this paper-defendins what it believes
to be the right and eriticising what it
believes to be the wrong.
The Graphic believes it to be radi-
cally wrong for the school teachers of
the country to ally themelves with the
trades organizations on the same
grounds that it believes that church
and state should be divorced. There is
always an antagonism between the
labor organizations and the other ele.
ments which go to make up this great
country with its varied industries. The
teachers in our schools are the instruc.
tors of the children of all classes-la-
borers, merchants. politicians, profes.
slonal men, contractors, railroad own.
ers, bankers, etc, including
those lorOrers who are not members
OF labor organizations-henc it is
not proper that the teachers should al.
]y themselves with any organization
which would bias them in their instruc

WAGES OF PROSPERITY.

The department Of labor at Washlns
ton has bet~n an investigation OF the
wage question in order to secure salts
factory statistics. At present evidence
goes to show gain of 2 per cent
wear on all lines during the past three
wears and an increase at some rate
during the last six years.
If statistics confirm this rate of ad.
vance the increase is but small when
one takes into account the enormous
prosperity said to have extended all
over the country in which rich and
poor should have some share. Two
per cent a year is a remarkably small
advance when one considers the ad.
vance in rents, in meats and in almost
all the essentials that go to make up
decent living.
When the department has completed
it's statistics on the wage question 1t
will do well to take up the other less
important questionable advance in
the cost of living The ratios of wages
to necessary expenses will decide the
real gain or loss to the working man
during this recent period of prosperity,
and if the advance in wages is no
greater than 2 per cent. comparison
with the cost of living is going to show
that the wage Garner is really receiv-
ing less for his services than he did
before the advance was made, and
that the prosperity boom has not yet
gone out sufficiently in the direction
of the man who works on salary.
OF course many business concerns
have made liberal advances, but taken
as whole the increase has been too
small to afford the wage earners any
relief from the increased cost of living.

Five Hundred Bales
Go Up in Flames from a Lightning
Bolt.

o0 up III flaIneS from LIgnIni1g
Bolt.
Columbia Evening Record 9th June.
During the brilliant electrical dis.
play last night the old Congaree mill
was struck by lightning. 1t has
been used as a warehouse for the
storage of cotton and in the two
compartments into which the mill
divided there were about 1000 bales
of cotton, $500 in one and 500 in the
other.
The compartment struck by the
bolt contained the 500 bales and
these ar d that portion of the building
were totally destroyed.
l. is supposed that the building
was struck about midnight, as the
watch man soon after that detected
the smell of smoke. He mand an in
vestieation, but failed to find any fire.
About 1 o'clock it was discovered
that the cotton was on fire, and an
alarm was sounded by locomotive
whistles and short time after by
the regular alarm bell.
The fremen succeeded in saving
all of the cotton in the compartment
containing $500 bales, which was a
great piece of the work.
When the roof fell in it produced a
beautiful pyrotechnic display with
the millions of sparks flying in the
air.
The loss an the 800 bales amounts
to $4,000 and which is covered by
insurance. This is the same build
ing that one Eli Perkins, Northern
writer said he saw in full operation
as mill owned and operated by
negroes. the cotton was owned by
the Columbia duck mill.
The building is in charge of ". D.
Melton for the owners. It was in
sured for $4,000 and about fourth
of the building was destroyed.
There were an oil boiler or two in
the mill, which were insured for
$1,000.

There is always surplus amount of

but Buff 10 Bill can come along, pick

always ready to feed the trickstel 8,

declared that the soap he offered for
sale would cure anything from in
growing nails to leprosy, and was
worth twenty times the Price he
named. That night, when his pockets
were full CT money, be laughed and
admitted that his marvellous cure-all
was made by pouring cheap German

were sliced into smaller bars and
covered with tinfoil. He and half

Bait for Suckers.

Now that the cherry tree cases are
disposed OF, it is fair to ask the ques-
ton: How many of you sympathized
with the people who were defrauded?
Through newspapers, and by the ex-
perience of other people they had
been warned against such schemes.
They wished to get something for
nothing-or practically no efort-and
they placed blind faith in an absurd
proposition. So they lost. Another
cherry tree concern, under different
name, can start business in this
country tomorrow and make quick
money until the law interyenes.
