He charged that the American
authorities in the Philippines were
"steering clear" of the provinces in
the islands where war was real and
pressing and we're confning them
selves to those places where oppor
tunity was afforded to secure "pelf"
and to rob the people. They were
following, he declared, the same
methods pursued in Sonth Carolina
after the war between the States. 1t
was carpetbag government, he in
sisted.
"The first thing" said he, (which
the carpetbag vermin in the Philip
pines would do las they did in Cuba)
would be to get their hands into the
pockets of the people an steal all
they could. I expect Gov. Taft has
already caught some of the scoun-
drels but that would not be good
thing to ventilate in the United
States just now"
He said the Filipinos now were
being ''pacifed off the face of the
earth"

The fight, according to this labor
president, is being made first and
on the John P. King man.
ufsctufing company, one of the
largest cotton mills in the south.
They claim that the Kiog mill even
now pays fifteen per c, Mt les
than the other mills of the city
They say employees running six looms
at the King mill can make but from
81 to $S each settlement, which is
every two weeks, while at the other
mills they make from SlOSO to Sl1
on plain work and from Sl3 to Sl0
on drills in two weeks.
The labor people claim that the
cotton mills are organized into a
Southern Cotton Manufacturers as
soeiation and whatever one mill does
the others will have to do and the
demand being made on all for a ten
per cent advance it is likely that they
will all refused, which will mean
that the carders and spinners will
walk out, locking down all the mills
in Augusta and quite likely IL Gran
itevilIe, Langley, Bath and Warren
Vile.
From what can be gathered from
various sources the present unsettled
situation in the mill district is the
ontgrowth of some northern mill
work. 1t appears that the northern
mills have taken this method of
crippling the southern mills to better
their own trade; that they are large
ly instrumental in bringing about
the unsatisfed condition and have
promised assistance to the opera
tives in the event of strike, which
makes it appear that the northern
mills are after making it prolonged
affair.
A mill official stated this morning
that the mills all over the south are
running at loss to themselves and
are merely keeping their wheels in
motion to fill future contracts which
they have on hand. On account OF
the advance in the price of spot cot
ton and the fact that there has been
no advance in the dry goods market
any mill that is breaking clear on
their present operations is an unu-
sually successful concern. The Au
gusta mills are buying just enough
spot cotton to keep their machines
supplied without storing any at all
1T is further stated that the mills in
Charlotte are running at such loss
they threaten to close down at any
time.
The day set for the final demand
and the time at which the crisis will
come in Augusta is March Is. If by
that day the mills have not granted
the demand made upon them the
labor people say there will be walk
out in the King mill to be followed
Immediately by all the other mills
named.

ESPECIAL to Florence Times.

Augusta, Feb. 21.-For some time
there has been an undercurrent IN
labor circles here that gave the I'M
preston of some serious movement
on the part of the labor people. 10
day this supposition developed into a
certainty in the shape OF the pros
pect for the most far reaching cotton
mill strike that this section OF the
country has known. About two weeks
ago at the meeting of the national
executive council of the textile unions
a proposition of the Augusta unions
was brought up asking advice on q
demand to be made on the Augusta
mills for an advance ia salaries OF
ten per cent. dating from March lst.
The council reported fsvorably on
the proposition and advised the local
organizations to make the demand.
Last Friday night the executive
council of the local unions held a
meeting and made request OF the
mills that they put on an increase OF
ten per cent and reduce the working
day to ten hours. Today it was
learn unofacially that the mills have
signifed their intention Of turning
the proposition down.
1t is very plainly apparent that
the labor people have been expecting
q movement of this kind from their
actions. A president of one of the
carders and spinners unions which
are making the fight, was seen this
morning and said to your correspond
ent that they have gotten about
every man working in their branch
of the trade in Augusta into the
union.
He stated that if the request made
was turned down the local body
would refer it to the national organ
ization and in the event of their be-
ing unsuccessful in carrying the re-
duction in hours and increase in sal
aries through strike would be Or
dered. In explaining the strike out
look he said:
"There certainly is every appear
ance of strike now, and if it is or
dered it will be big one. The
people are hot over the situation and
say they want what they ask for. In
my opinion the strike will be ordered
about the first or middle of April
and it will be one not to be ended in
a few days. The unions are strong,
ly organized and have good back
ing"

"England's fleet at Manila stood
ready to take sides with Dewey and
to open fire on the Germans should
occasion arise. Notice to that effect
was served on the German Admiral,
and as an earnest of what the notice
meant the British ships were moved
into position between the German
and American fleets. We were ready
to clear decks for action"
These are the alleged words of
Sir Edward Chichester, Commander
of England's fleet at Manila in 1898.
al was with Dewey all the time" I"
the British Admiral is further re.
ported to have said. "Blood was
thicker than water. If the German
interference with Dewey had gone
far enough Won Diederichs would
have started war not only with the
United States, but with England.
Won Diederichs understood that.
Perhaps he noticed. too, that the
English barges one day were filled
with coal and the next day had but
little. One night the American ships
were re-coaled without going to
Hongkong."

Ex-Governor Pogg, of Texas,
though busy in London putting the
finishing touches to his Texas oil
deal, has had time to look up the
social side of this country. All the
arrangements had been completed
with U. S. Ambassador Choate to
enable the well-known Texan to be
presented to King Edward. A hitch
occurred, however, for Mr. Hogg
found he must appear in knee
breeches, sword, etc, the regulation

Worth Remembering.

A child swallowed a round whistle
about the size of quarter dollar.
A neighbor who dropped in advised
the mother to give MIN the un beaten
white of an egg, telling her that it
would form around the object, which
would be carried off through the
bowels. This proved true. The same
mother afterward had "a bristle from
her tooth brush lodge in her throat,
causing annoyance and irritation.
After trying IN various ways to dis
lodge it she thought of the white of
egg and in a little while the offend
lug bristle had disappeared. Good

AMAJoRITy suoULD RULE

(1hs Free Lance
The following editorial appeared
in the columns of the Fredericksbnrg
Star on the third day of this month:
"The Irvington Cit;sen is proud of DIR.
punaway's temperance work. We ase
opposed 10 local option, Barbour
Qdarles' bills, etc., but we agree with our
contemporary that the Doctor has done
his duty as he sees II and as his people
would have him do it,"
We fail to understand why our
contemporary is opposed to ma
jority rule, whether it be in the
question of licensing the sale of in
toxicating spirits or otherwise.
The principle, that all government
is by the consent of the governed, is
as old as the American government
at least, and all Americans should
favor any law that lays down as
foundation principle the rule of
the majority. If we understand the
bill that was offered by Mr.. Barbour,
and afterwards defeated in the Com
mittee of the Whole by the Constitu-
tional Convention, its principal feat
ure was that no liquor should be sold
In any community without the con-
sent of the majority of the citizens
of that community. We fail to see
wherein this bill would have abridg-
ed the rights of any citizen; on the
contrary it would have placed the
responsibility for such a business
where it Justly belongs.

HIS DEFINITION OF ETERNITY.

"The best illustration of what eter-
nifty is, with its endless flight Of
time," said Western member of
Congress the other day, "was one
heard given by preacher who was
conducting revival at Colorado
mining camp. The revival had been
well attended, but there was a poor
harvest of souls, and the rough old
preacher depicted the joys of heaven
and the tortures of hell with dis
couraging results. One evening he
announced that the revival would
close with that meeting unless the
sinners showed desire to repent.
He then depicted the sufferings of
the lost, and in telling them how
long it would be before they would
be freed from their environment of
fire and birthstone, he said:
"You will suffer for all eternity.
Do you know what that means? I'll
tell you. Ifa little sparrow was to
dip his bill in the Atlantic ocean
and take one hop day and hop
across the country and put that drop
IN the Pacific ocean and then hop
back TO the Atlantic, one hop day,
and if ne kept that thing up until
the Atlantic was dry as bone it
wouldn't be sun-up in hell.'
"It isn't necessary to add that
mourners came to the bench that
night and the meeting continued for
some time. p WASHINGTON Post.

THE CONvICTs AND ROADS.

The Free Lance has many times
suggested and urged that the con-
victs of this State be scattered
throughout the Commonwealth and
their labor be used for the purp ose
of improving our public highways.
1t can readily be seen that this would
easily relieve the conditions existing
in the penitentiary and at the same
time make our public roads places
of safety for travel, rather than
mud-holes fit only for the reception
of wallowing hogs. Something must
be done at once, or those in author
ity will be guilty of criminal neglect
