A clergyman who is heading a holi-
ness propaganda in Seaford on We'd
nesday night received a contribution
Of eggs. They We're of the stale va
riety and applied externally. The
cause Of this generous demonstration
seems to have been that the reverend
gentlemen had slandered other relig-
ious denominations. and had had
something dispamging to say Of Ger
tain town lodges. With many persons
there is no argument like stale egg
which may illustrate the old adag

CoAL MINERs sTRIKE

A great strike I'm the coal mines has
been declared. Viewed from any stand
point. Il was unnecessary, and will
prove unwise. Should It continue for
months, or even weeks, it will involve
an economic loss which must be widely
distributed. and ultimately affect every
consumer Of coal. It will doubtless
mean a loss, too. to the owners and
operators, since while prices will ad-
vance Immediately, yet this will bene-
At only the local dealers. There is
little coal mined, and the bulk of il
is in the yards of the local dealers.
This morning there are evidences that
prices will be advanced Immediately,
and thus the far-reaching effects are
shown.
But the chief sufferers will be the
miners themselves. They are now cut
off for an indefinite period from any
source of income, and in a week most
Of them will be penniless. When their
money is gone they will fall back on
credit, but this will be extended in few
instances, as they have little to pledge
as security for advances. In a few
weeks. If the strike continues, there
viii be whole towns and villages
where there is not a dollar Of revenue
for the people. This means THAT thou
sands. yes. hundreds of thousands, of
women and children are TO suffer want,
and It may mean rioting and all forms
of disorder.
1t was unnecessary; the miners
should have considered long before
making the decision, and the fact that
many entered into It reluctantly shows
that the consequences were antici-
nated. But as we have read reports Of
THE matter it appears that the owners
and operators have acted with an in
difference that is censurable. All sug-
gestions of arbitration have been
spurned, when IL was evident that the
miners would have been satisfied with
some slight concession. If they incur
losses, they will not be supported to
any great extent by public sympathy.

1t Was the First Planted in western
New York and Woman Raised 1t.
Mrs. Sophronia Phelps of Kuckville,
Orleans county, New York, celebrated
her ninety-third birthday the other
day. The event was marked by an
old-fashioned reception.
Mistress Phelps" as her old
friends and relatives call her to this
day, as that was the way she was ad-
dressed three-quarters of century
ago, sat in curiously carved chair
which is more than 125 years old and
an heirloom. But the relic which in
terested the guests most was cane
belonging to Col. Miles of Kuckvillc,
made from the wood of the first apple
tree planted in western New York.
The cane is handsomely carved and
beautifully polished.
1t WAS related at the birthday party
by Mistress Phelps that this first apple
tree was planted by Mrs. Dunhari,
cared for the tender shoot until 1t was
set out near the Dunham homestead
in the eastern part of what is now
Erie county.
Mrs. Dunham came when girl

stayed for while at or near the salt

5000 last year, while the loss in stock
points to only 1000 this year, against
1900 last year. In other words. although
port receipts for the four days are

A MORNING TONIC.
George F. Hoar.)

Every generation since the dawning of
civilization seems to have been gifted
with it's peculiar capacity. The genera
tion of Homer has left nothing behind
but great epic poem, which for thirty
centuries remains without a rival. Italian
art had its brief and brilliant day of
glory, which departed and has never re-
turned: The. time of Elizabeth was the
time of dramatic poetry, which has been
alike the wonder and the despair of all
succeeding ages. The generation which
accomplished the American Revolution
had genius for forming constitutions
which no generation before or since has
been able to equal or to approach. The
features of the State constitutions framed
in that day have been retained with little
changes in substance, and have been
copied since by every new State.

GREENSBORO WINS TIE STATE
CONVENTION.

Greensboro captures the State Conven-

1t began its campaign two years ago
when it came very near capturing it,
after a warm contest. 1t has kept up a
campaign every day for two years to
secure the convention. 1t has managed
its campaign without let up during these
twenty-four months, losing no oppor-
tunity by day or night to secure friends
for the convention. It's efforts have been
crowned with success, and when it won
on the third ballot, the vote to go TO
Greensboro was made unanimous.
Greensboro has grown more rapidly
than any large town or city in North
Carolina in the past ten years. Its in
crease in population during this period
has been 2O2 per cent. In 1890 its popula-
ton was 1917. The 1900 census gave
Greensboro a population of 10,035. Its
growth since that period has been more
rapid than in any previous period. It's
