TIE LATE AUGUSTA STRIKE
1t Is Now Admitted that While the Strike
Lasted 1t was Paid for Principally
by the Fall River Unions.

Fall River, Mass. August l9.--
Secretary Albert HILBERT, OF the
United Textile Workers of America,
has issued a statement to the unions
showing the amount of money con-
tributed by each for the support OF
the King Mill strikers at Augusta
Ga. He announces that the strike
lasted fifteen weeks, and unions
which paid less than fifteen assess
ments (save those exempt) would
find the deficit charged to them,
while those who paid more than
fifteen would be given rebate. The
secretary criticises the failure of
unions in the South to support the
strikers IN wsging battle to their
common interests. He also con-
demns the unions in the North who,
by their indifference, made the strike
failure. Such unions, he said,
cannot expect the support OF the
national organization in future con-
tests. The figures show that Fall
River unions contributed more money
for the support of the Georgia strike
than the entire South.

AT SpEARMAN'S SPRING.
THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN MEETING IN
NO. 8.
Attended BY About 400 Persons. Repre-
senting Nearly Every Section Of The
County-A Pleasant Day With Lit
tie Attention To the Speeches.

spearmsn's Spring, Newberry
County, August I9.-The county
campaign meeting for No. 5 Town
ship was held at this place today.
The meeting was attended by about
400 persons, representing nearly
every section of the county. The
crowd came more on pleasure bent
than for the purpose of listening to
the speeches, and the candidates
found it a very hard matter to get
the attention of their audience.
A most enjoyable day was spent
by those in attendance. In fact,
Spearman'S Spring, with its beauti-
full scenery and its health giving
waters, is noted for the many happy
gatherings that have here assembled,
and that of today was no exception
to the rule. No more ideal place
could be selected for pleasant days
outing or an afternoon hours stay,
and only development is needed to
make it one of the most famous
health and pleasure resorts in the
country.
Local Chairman ]. w. D. John
son was in change of the meeting.
The candidates for the Office of
superintendent of education, Messrs.
Werts, Wheeler and Wicker spoke
first stating their candidacy in a
happy manner, and presenting their
claims to the Office.
The Legislative candidates dis
eussed about the same questions as
at previous meetings, taxation for
building roads and child labor in the
mills receiving mostly theitattention.
The barbecue dinner was prepared
by James Dunbar, and was the
centre of attraction. 1t was an ex-
ceflent dinner, and such q one as
only Mr.. Dunbar can prepare.
A number of people from the city
of Newberry came up and spent the
day. In fact, from all sections OF
the county the people came, from
Pomsria in one direction to Whit
mire's IN the other, and from the
Ssluda to the Broad, each section
having a few representatives.

EVERY PRECINCT WENT DRY.
No Whisky Will be Sold in Newton County

Oxford, Ga., Aug. 19,--In the
election for or against the sale OF
whisk., Newton comfy went dry by
a majority OF 8O4 votes.
The county has been dry for sew
eral years and this election was forced
by the antis, who hoped to carry the
county. The result of the election
shows the people of Newton to be
absolutely opposed to whiskey. This
county is strongly local option. 1t
went for Terrell by good majority
IN the recent primary. The citizens
favor prohibition by local option.
Every precinct in the county
went dry. CovingtoI, the center OF
strength for the antis, went dry by
over 100 votes. The election was
very quiet, but considerable interest
was manifested.
The election was unusually inter-
esting because of the location OF
Emory college in this county.
The prohibitionists claim that the
county will remain dry for at least
ten years.

from going to the rural precincts and
manipulating things SO that all Off
cial p~;rnary tickets will mysteriously
disappear except those which have
already been scratched. For exam
pie, take the case where John Smith
and Bill Jones are running for gov
ernor. The rural voter appears at
his precinct to cast ballot. Lo!
something has happened. He OBJ
serves that the name of John Smith,
his favorite, is sadly disfgured by
lines that criss. cross. Stranger still,
no other tickets are available. He
has ~ot to poll this ticket or lose his
vote. Can't you see how such a rule
initiates against fair play and an
honest expression of the will of the
people? l do not say that any such
fraudulent methods would be at
tempted, but this rule would encour
age such methods for the simple and
obvious reason that it makes the way
easier for those who are unscrupu
lous enough to try such trick"
Colonel Talbert was indignant.

Volcanic Eruption Destroys an Island.

still proceeding and is accompanied
submarine eruptions in the vicinity
which make it dangerous for vessels
to approach the island.
The Orishima is one of chain OF
islands extending between the BONN

ayers of the election; it is the safest,
fairest and most Democratic way.
You may say that we are very indig

Col. Jones ano We are going to make

ANOTHER MATTER.
The quibble between the candi-
dates and the State chairman is
matter OF secondary importance.
But there is another practice which
is creating some falkland some
criticism. There is no regulation in
the rules of the primary to prevent
candidate from buying ten thousand
Tor a hundred thousand) tickets
corresponding in every way to the
official ballots and having the unofl-
cial tickets circulated broadcast with
the names of his opponents scratched
off. Indeed it is rumored that some
candidates have already negotiated
with the printers to run them of
thousands of tickets after the official
tickets have been printed.
The rule is that all the names must
be printed on ticket for it to be
considered as regular, and some of
the names are subsequently pencllled
off, that does not invalidate the ticket.
But as to the fairness of the prsc.
tice, the candidates differ.
