THE LABOR PROBLEM.


According to the United States Treas
ury department there were, for the period
of thirteen years ending with 1894, SO, 166
strikes and 6,067 lockouts in the United
States The number Of men involved was
3,712,5e1. Wages were lost to the extent
of $3.50, 493, 173, and the loss to employers
was S94, S25, 237. Labor organizations paid
$4,000, 900 for the support OF strikers. In
addition, there were enormous indirect
losses, which, of course, cannot be accu-
rately calculated. ITO attempt" says
the department, I" to give the total
and absolute loss, direct and Indirect of
all our labor troubles, the loss OF assured
gains, the stoppage of contemplated work
for fear of strikes and all those thousand
and one losses. is simply beyond the power
OF man and absolutely incalculable."
The world has been benefited by every
strike. Shackles haye been broken that
have crushed manhood and womanhood
tor ages employers have been made to
heed the protest of employee; the employee
has learned that to win he must be just.
Labor occupies nobler position today
than it did before organization educated it
to strike for right.
And yet the question of the rights OF
labor is not settled. The value OF skill
and muscle is still moderated. Capitalism
still demands the lions share. 1t does
not recognize that all wealth is the result
OF toll. Machinery, that should be bless
ing to the world, is converted into curse
and an enemy to labor. Labor and Capt.
talism cannot dwell in harmony while
selishness and greed govern and control
man. Organized labor has made mistakes;
Capitalism has committed crimes and vio-
lated law. The boycott OF labor was called
forth by the blacklist of the employer.
The lockout and starvation wages are the
progenitors of the strike. The tyranny
and combination of employers caused
labor to unite and combine for protection.
Unionism, in its infancy, had to combat
every evil passion of man. Today Igno-
rance and Avarice are its main foes. Judges
from the bench hurled thunderbolts Of hate
not law-at organized law, for daring
to be men and demanding justice and fair
pay for honest labor. The press and
pulpit, with few noble exceptions, joined
the enemies of God and man in their wild
cutlery against and in denunciation of Union
Labor. Conspiracy laws were passed by
many state legislatures aimed at Union
the large cities were armed and formed
into bands under the command OF an Eng
lish thief-taker, with power to kill. Yet
Unionism grew and prospered. lntelli-
gent mechanics saw the need and the stern
necessity of organized labor-skilled and
unskilled. Labor papers were started and
speakers came forth from the shop and the
mine, from the case and the throttle, the
carpenter and the blacksmith left their toll,
the baker, the barber, the plumber, tie

Hints to Farmers.

Do not stop work on account Of
dry weather. II your corn is up run
round it, replant, thin and hoe. Get
back to it as quick as possible and
put more burrows to the row. If you
have stand of cotton plow and hoe
at once. Put to stand and pull lit
tie dirt to it with g hoe. Do not leave
it on top of the ridge with long
stems above ground for a hard dash
of rain would beat it down. Guilt
vate the corn rapidly. Plant peas
between the hill June l to 20; or if
you have plenty Of seed SOW broad
cast when you lay by. But three
peas to the hill will cover the land
with vines and give a fire crop of
mature peas if the fall rain suits.
Do not plant or SOW peas when there
is only moisture enough to swell
them without bringing them up.
When a pea swells it will die very
soon if there is not moisture enough
to bring it up.

A Dallas lawyer today received the
following letter from the Arkansas
Governor:
Mr.. Jay M. Overstreet, Dallas, Tex;
Dear Sir and Friend: I am in re-
ceipt of your favor and appreciate its
contents. I conceived this idea on
my recent trip east, from the many
expressions of sympathy that [ heard
by the people of that section, none OF
whom knew what they were talking
about, and I resolved to give them a
little taste of their own medicine so
that in the future they could handle
subjects in CO. crete form instead OF
obtaining information through news
papers. I therefore thought it wise
to put the negro in their midst SO
that they could study him as he is,

When the Worm Turns.

All that the newspapers have to do
is to put the ''snuffers" on the candi-
dates and simply leave out all men
ton of the candidates, their meet
ipga, their speeches and everything
connected with their campaign from
beginning to end. If the news
papers will only have the nerve to
hold out they have already won their
fight and perhaps net this year, but
next year, they can double the price
of the cards and the candidates will
be glad to pay it.
The unknown and new candidates
are the ones who will be handicapped
and injured by not publishing their
cards and getting before the public
with their announcements and their
speeches, and it is evident that some
folks know a thing or two about
politics.
In several of the counties it is
manifest that the people are getting
very tired of the county campaigns,
and in Horny and other counties pro-
positions were made to have one
campaign meeting at the Court
House and abandon all others "A.

Red Haze Due May 80.

William A. Eddy Says Volcanic Dust
Will Circle the Earth in Ten Days.
New York, May William A.
Eddy, the Bayonne meteorologist,
says that as a result of the volcanic
disturbances in the West Indies a
red haze should be seen here at sun
set about Decoration Day. Mr.. Eddy
estimates that millions of tons of
fine volcanic dust from Martinique
and St. Vincent will be carried around
the world in ten days at the rate of
100 miles an hour and should reach
here by way of San Francisco about
the end of the month. The red
haze, Mr.. Eddy says, will be visible
only when the skies are clear.

A Hatchery at orangebusg.
Has the Very Place for Fish Culture
Station.

Special to The State.
Washington, May 16 --Orangeburg
is already martialling her forces to
land the new fish cultural station
provided for in Senator Tillman's bill
which has passed the senate and will
very probably pass the house this
sessisn. The bill carries an appro-
priation of s25,o00 for this purpose,
but leaves the selection of a site to
the fish commission. Representative
Lever has placed on file with the
commissioners petition signed by
the mayor and leading citizens of
Orangeburg setting forth the claims
of that town for the new station and
asking that special agent be sent
there to go over the ground and re-
port to the commission before site
is determined upon, in case Senator
Tillmsn's bill becomes a law. Repre-.
sentative Lever saw Commissioner
) Bowers today and was assured that
Oraageburg's claims would have care
full consideration and that the sug-
gestion of an agent to investigate
the topography of that section would
probably be adopted.
Is seems that in looking around
for q suitable site for such q station
special inquiry is made as to the
abundance OF the water supply.
Wherever it is possible, site is
selected upon hill from which flows
number of clear water streams.
II is necessary that these streams be
free from refuse and so located as to
permit the establishing upon them
the numerous ponds connected with
the station. Representative Lever
is OF the opinion that location ad-
mirsbly filing these requirements is
to be found just outside the town of
Orsngeburg on what is known as
Dukes fishery" In talking today
with Commissioner Bowers he out
lined the advantage of locating a
fish station here and fled with him
numerous papers and maps showing
the topography of the country.
Representative Lever said today
that he considers Orangeburg's
chances admirable for securing the
fish station and if an agent is sent
down by the commission to look the
ground over he hopes to accompany
him and assist in showing him around,
The establishment of a $4,000
fish station in the State means much
for South Carolina and while Orange
burg would benefit especially by
having it placed there the entire
State will enjoy its advantages.

they had heart trouble, because the heart is

secure the nomination. I know there
are many candidates in the field, and
I hesitated long before entering the

you to make the convention date as
