MORGAN AND CooKE.-Jay Cooke, one
Of the greatest Of American financiers,
negotiated nearly all Of the immense
loans issued by the United States gov
ernnient during the civil war. The
banking firm Of which he was the heal
handled over s2,OOO,OOO,OO for the gov
ernment, and the profits, it is said, did
not exceed 100000 What would have
been Mr.. ]. P. Morgan's profits 1t that
astute flnancier had been engaged by
the government to float a series Of
loans amounting to $4,000, 100000? 1t
has been stated that Mr.. Morgan re-
ceived about 5. 100000 for financing
the United States Steel Corporation
with a capital of about $l,4OO 100000.
In another transaction his profit on
$500, 100000 transaction was estimated at
$40, 100000. Either Mr.. Morgan has
cause to be astounded at Mr.. Cooke
moderation, or Mr. Cooke would be JUS
tilted in expressing astonishment at The
very high value which Mr.. Morgan
places upon his services. If Mr.. morgan
had financed the steel company at the
same rates at which Mr.. Cooke hand
led the governments loans during the
civil war, he would have received only
$14O, 900 for his share in the transaction.
On the other hand, If the government
had paid MIR. Cooke as handsomely for
his services as Mr. Morgan is reported
to have been paid by the steel compa-
ny, Mr.. Cooke would have netted near
ly $50, 600. 0.0O0.-Baltimore Sun.

DISCRIMINATION AT WINTHROP.

The Rock Hill Herald, of Wednes-
day, prints the paragraph that was re-
produced in THE ENQUIRER last week
from the Greenwood Journal, and COM
ments thereon as follows:
On Monday last, we called President
Johnson's attention to the above pup
lication and requested an explanation.
Expressing surprise at the statements
made therein, President Johnson as
sured the reporter that the only trutn
contained in the article Is as 10 the
turning away" Of some applicants lof
admission and that statement is exag-
gerated. The number that returned 10
their homes was %, not I5, as The
Journal says, and these were turned
away" only because Of the rule adopted
by the board of trustees and announced
in the catalogue sent out during the
summer, which requires that mo STU
dent shall be admitted to the collese
unless she passes into the FRESHMAN
class in the majorities OF stuoles.
The Young ladies who were turned
away" failed to pass as the rule re-
uuires, and there was nothing else lot
the college authorities to do but send
the weeping girls" to their homes. IL
Is true that some applicants passed into
the Freshman class only by their pro-
ficiency in 1.-The majority of studies,
but the rule was fully complied with
and they were entitled to become stu
dents in the college. All such accepted
students, however, are required TO pur-
sue the studies. in which they may be
deficient, in the Sub-Freshman class,

AS a newspaper, the New York Sun
has few superiors. Chas. A. Dana was
one Of the best newspaper men America
has produced and he succeeded in maxi
ing The, Sun a model Of. journalistic
excellence throughout the English
speaking world. In many Of it's dis
tinguishing features The Sun stands as
high as it ever stood: but fairness can
hardly be claimed as one Of its charac-
teristics. More so than any other great
American newspaper. 1t represents the
views and interests of the money pow
err. In any kind of dispute between
capital and labor it Is invariably found
on the side Of capital. 1t has no stand
ing whatever with the laboring ele-
ment: because 1t processes no sympa-
thy with them: but it may fairly be re-
garded as the authoritative mouthpiece
Of capital It Is said to be owned by j.
Pierpont Morgan, and no doubt 1t is.
Anyhow, the people who think as Mr..
Morgan thinks. generally think as The
Sun thinks. UP to some months ago,
The Sun was disposed to back Presi-
dent Roosevelt in practically all he did;
but now it is talking the other way.
It's comments on the presidents course
with regard to the coal strike are par
ticularly sarcastic, and its general at
titude is such as to leave the impress
sion that there is really something In
the growing impression of a wide
breach between the president and Mr..
Morgan.

The Labor Problem.

The bulk of the news filling the col
umns Of the great northern dailies, as
we'll as that carried by the Associated
Press, relates to the coal strike and
to the labor problem generally, and
while it Is difficult to fully compre-
hend all of the issues involved, there
seems to be no doubt Of the fact that
the issue between capital and labor Is
more squarely before the country at
this time than it has ever been before
The present climax is due in a large
measure to President Roosevelt's Alex
andrian method of attacking Gordian
knots.
The real issue involved in the coal
controversy is not altogether a ques-
ton of wages or hours of labor. These
are the things talked about most; but
no agreement on the part of the Goa
operators as to these matters alone
would settle the present trouble. The
issue is the full and complete recogni-
ton of "unionism," and unionism from
the standpoint of the miner, means that
all of his interests be represented by q
delegated authority. He demands that
the old system of direct relations be-
tween himself and his employer, OF
the representatives of his employer, be
done away with entirely. and that
there be established a new system
whereby his representatives shall de-
eide on just how long he shall work
how much work he should do, what
compensation he shall receive, how
many holidays he shall have, etc, and
that his real employer shall have abso-
lutely nothing to do with him except to

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The regular monthly meeting of the
board of county commissioners was
held in the office Of the; supervisor on
Wednesday. All Of the members of the
board were present, and a considerable
amount Of business, including the pay
ment of numerous claims, was trans
acted.
/Messrs. J. L. Moore and Robert With
9rspoon, of Bethesda township, appear
ed before the board and entered re-
quest for the location Of the chaingang
in Bethesda. The board gave them to
understand that while it does not seem
that the present condition Of the work
on the Yorkville and Tirzah road will
warrant the removal Of the chaingang
before the first of January next, there
seemed to be no reason why it should
not go to Bethesda when a change Is
made.
, There were three applications for the
POSITION Of superintendent of the coun-
ty home next year. They were Messrs.
]. D. Gaulden, the incumbent: w" +.
Wylie and John Ramsey: Messrs.
Gaulden and Wylie submitted petitions.
Mr. R.. NJ. Whitesides appeared as the
advocate Of the claims of Mr.. Ramsey.
Supervisor- to-be Boyd. and the. other
two members Of the next board-Mes-
srs. Crawford and Stanton-were pres
ent at the meeting: and Supervisor
Gordon suggested the courtesy Of al
lowing them to choose a superintend-
ent. with the understanding that the
present board would confirm their
to abide by any action that might be
taken by the present board. and Capt.
Crawford expressed himself In the
same manner. Being member of the
present board as we'll as the new one.
1t made no difference to Mr.. Stanton.
1t was finally decided that the old
board would choose between the applt-
cants by ballot. Mr.. Gaulden was elect
ed at a compensation Of s265 per an
mum.
A Negro pauper was admitted to the
county home on a proper petition.
At a previous meeting Of the board,
the clerk was instructed to request the
Carolina and Northwestern and the
Southern railroads to fix up certain
grade crossings that are considered to
be in a dangerous condition. The
Southern has promised to comply with
the request Of the board without delay
and the Carolina and North Western
asked to be allowed until January l.,
next, to comply. The request was
granted.
There was a complaint about a Ger
tain alteration in a public road down
in Catawba township, and, on motion,
it was agreed that Supervisor Gordon
and Commissioner Wilkerson investi-
gate the matter.

PRESIDENT Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, has written the presi-
dent a letter in which he declines the
proposition TO request the miners to go
to work, with the understanding that
the whole controversy will be duly In
vestigated. AS reason for his declina-
ton, President Mitchell calls attention
to the fact that the mine operators
have already refused to arbitrate, and
inasmuch as the president has no law
to enforce acceptance of the award OF
such a board as he might appoint, the
miners have nothing to gain by compli-
ance with his request. He says that
the fight will be continued to the end;
but wants it distinctly understood that
it is the operators and not the miners
who have stood in the way Of an ami
cable settlement.

question Of enlarging the building has

Of many miles. In Fort Mill the peo-

pREsDYTERY AT BEERsHEBA.

The report Of the stated clerk In an
other column, gives q comprehensive
account of the business transacted dur
ing the session Of Bethel presbytery at
Beersheba this week, from Tuesday
morning until Thursday afternoon; but
visitors and delegates have great deal
to say in addition, about the social
features Of the occasion.
It seems that, as usual, the people
of the neighborhood turned out in large
numbers, and the congregations ranged
in size from 400 to 500 people. The
weather was delightful and dinner was
spread during recesses on long table
outside. Of course, almost everybody
carried dinner, and the duty of setting
the table was delegated to commit
tee. There was an abundance Of good
things for every individual in the great
crowds and lots to spare, many Of the
boxes and baskets having been left un-
touched by the committee.
The delegates to presbytery were en-
tertained during their stay at the
homes Of the people of the surround
ing country, and those who passed
through Yorkville on their way home,
had much to say about the royal treat
ment they had received. Some Of them
confessed a little surprise. They had
been going to presbytery for years;
but had never before been the guest of
more prosperous or hospitable con-
gregation. They had not been led to
expect anything extraordinary of
Beersheba, and what they saw and ex-
perienced was just little beyond an
ticipations.
Rev. w. G. Neville, of Yorkville,
knows Beersheba congregation, of
course, and in reply to a comment with
regard to the apparent prosperity, he
said: You won't find any considera-
BILE individual wealth in that section;
but take Beersheba congregation as a
whole for well-to-do, solid, substantial
citizenship, and 1 do not know of it's
superior. The people out that way

which has been organized for that pur-
pose only. 1t Is indeed hard on the %
young ladies who were turned away
for the reason that they had in compli-
ance with the college rules bought uni
forms, ETC., and had paid railroad fare
to Rock Hill and return; but each Of
the young ladies had opportunity to
stand examination at their court houses
on the 18th Of last July, but they pre-
ferred to run all risks and came to the
college for examination. Had they
stood the examination conducted In
their court house towns In July, they
would have been spared the expense Of
coming to Rock Hill, the purchase ef
Of being turned away after arriving
here because they could not stand the
examination authorized by the board
Of trustees-a test that Is necessary and
enforced in every college. Seventy
young ladies stood the examination at
the college at the opening Of the session
and Of that number, as stated above,
% failed to pass and returned to their
homes. The number of students who
applied at county examinations in July
was 444. OF that number 212 were
turned away" What does The Jour-
nal think Of that? President Johnson
informs us of fact that The Journal
may not know or knowing may not ap-
preciate-that Is, that at least seven of
the young ladies who were turned
away from Winthrop had the oppor-
tunity Of attending accredited graded
schools whose certificates Of gradua-
ton would have entitled them without
further examination to enter the Fresh.
man class at Winthrop. The graded
school at Greenwood Is such school.
The number Of students who were ad-
mitted upon certificates Of accredited
schools was 48. The Journal would no
doubt be very severe in its criticisms of
the Winthrop board and faculty If girls
not entitled to graduation in a graded
school should be admitted to the col
lege as college students. What, indeed,
would The Journal think Of such an in
stitution that would do so calling itself
college?

THERE is nothing wrong in the send
ing of Pennsylvania troops to the coal
fields. The union men have right to
strike if they want to, and the nom
union men have the same right to work
if they want to. This is under con-
stitution that guarantees liberty of ac-
ton so long as one does not interfere
with the rights of others. OF course,
if non-union men can be found in suf-
ficient numbers to take the place of the
union men, and they are allowed to
take their place, unionism is dead.
While not right, it is natural that
union men should use violence If neces-
sary, to prevent non-union men from
taking their places. If the non-union
men have a right to take the places of
the union men, however, it is proper to
use the military power Of the state. If
necessary, in guaranteeing that right.
