bate that had real ginger in it, Organizer
John Blue filed a bill for 2.50 for services
organizer. Thad Gurley asked that Blue
tell what he did TO earn $3.50. and also ques-
toned number of other bills presented by
Blue at meetings of Central Labor Union.
He said Blue presented bills for $3.50 and 50
at nearly every meeting OF Central Labor
Union without itemizing his services. and
added that ii is a matter of business and
not matter of graft" Gurley also said
there were a number of the same opinion.
and he voiced their sentiments because they
were too timid.
BLUE GOT WHITE.
Blue grew white with anger and defed
Gurley to show any account that was not
legitimate. He said his bills would not aver
age 80 cents a night and that he was not
compelled to make itemized reports. He
asked Gurley TO cite one instance when he
had not dealt properly with the finances,
and Gurley said something about SO he re-
ceived for organizing a local union and not
returning it. Blue shouted. THAT is not
true and l can prove it," Gurley then re-
torted that If he a 'mouthpiece' he
represented whole brass band.
A general discussion then took place over
the itemiZing of bills and George Custer had
a tilt with President Feltman over the
question. Custor said he would also like TO
see all bills itemiZed and that there rs
only one way TO do business and that is in
a business-like manner" Feltman said the
bills were itemiZed and Custer asked IL he
had been sleeping. He then went up to the
secretary'S desk, picked up the bills and
II was asleep, was i? Look at that. Do
you call that itemiZed? Feltman said he
did and Custer replied: Then your ideas
of itemiZing are different from mine"
After the meeting Blue took Gurley to
task about his assertion and for time II
looked as if the men would come to blows.

may be that in some cases this great

is welded to abuse the innocent rather

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Land cannot be too rich or too mel
low for fruits.
Manure for the garden should be free
from weed seeds.
The head Of tree needs to be fairly
open to admit sun and air for full
growth of fruit
The dahlias will never disappoint
you. Pink, white, yellow OF crimson,
tall, dwarf or cactus. it is bound to
flower.
In the fall after the leaves have
dropped is generally the best time for
taking cuttings from ounces, but they
may be taken later.
Heliorope should not be mixed with
other cut towers in water. They de-
cay quickly and have harmful effect
upon the other blossoms.
AIyosotis forgetmenoD needs partial
shading. but not the shade of tree.
Plant among taller flowers or around
rosebushes, and it will do well.
Plenty Of yellow blossoms should be
secured for places which lack sun
shine. Yellow is good in almost every.
situation and is the cheeriest Of tones.
Good cultivation causes an abun-
dance Of fbrous roots to be made. The
growth of any plant is largely meas
ured by the number Of its fbrous
roots.

Good Manners.

a great many children and young
persons think it will be time enough
to attend to manners when they grow
young men and women. says the
Catholic Mirror. This is a mistake,
and mistake that does a great deal
CT mischief. No boy or girl is too
young to attend TO manners, and this
is the reason why We wish to say
something to the children on the sub
iect. BY manners, we mean conduct
or behavior Of every kind, bat mere

Que another Good ur bad manners
will first show them ,eiveS in our own
homes. II We wish really to Know
what boys and girls are made 0i, we
must see them in their own homes:

girl would be ashamed to speak and

very disrespecttul, unkind and rude.
If a 6oy should speak to friends
mother as he does to his own mother,
or if he should be aS surly and unkind
to his friends sisters as he is to his
own sisters, we do not think be would
be asked to visit that friends house
more than once. 1t is shame for
anybody to behave better away from
home than he does at home. Let the
boys and girls know that bad manners
at home will soon be known to ali the
neighbors and friends. The very
essence OF good manners is to be found
in kind thoughtfulness Of others,
while SeltishneSS will always produce
bad manners. Either Of these will
be sure to show itself. The bog that
is thoughtful and conSiderate Of his
mother, and brothers and sisters, is a
gentleman, and everybody who knows
nim will lind il out: while the selfish
by will sooner Or latter reveal his
character, and everybody will dislike
him. And, again, the boy whose
manners are good at home is sure to
have gODd manners everywhere.

the suspicious were not strong enough

the body was found today. Ed
Daniels are now under arrest and Ed

To Aid Southern Schools.
There was incorporated In Washing

There was incorporated In Washing
TON few days ago body OF educators
and miIli0naireS whose intentions is
to aid the schools OF the South. The
objects Of this association can be bet
ter understood by the following infer
nation about the plan furnished by
one of.the trustees:
we have decided upon this course
TO attract greater attention to the
work.we have undertaken, 10 give the
body a greater degree OF permancncy
and enc in which people with money
to 'giyescan have greater confidence.
1t is our hope that money will be lett
to the board and it will be our aim
ALSO to raise and eXpcnd Sl.OO0:000 a
year at least and more if we can get
it. That seems lot OF money. but we
hope to get 100 men Of wealth who
will agree to subscribe so, 600 year.
Our plan is to improve the public
schools. For the present we are de-
voting our work to the South. because
there we find the most need. We
agree to give twice as much as the
people of any town there will raise for
public education in that place and we
insist also on a local school tax. We
have already assisted the normal
school at Knoxville, the University
Normal at Athens and number OF
smaller schools through North Caro-
lima, but that is only beginning.
This we have done largely by the SUI
Scriptions of just the members of the
board. The Southern Educational
Board conducts the propaganda for is
among the people Of the South and
we supply the money. the TWO boards
being largely made up Of the same
gentlemen"
In commenting on the association
and it's work The States says the in
corporation Of the General E1ucat;on
board by act of congress diScloSeS its
broad purposes and tremendous re-
sources. The intentions of the board
have been freely made known to the
people Of the south. in which section
much of the work Of the board has
been and is to be done. The boar'i

humiliation in accepting such IN Of
fer as this, and the assistance Of
the board should be welcomed by
every community which desires
help. 1t is stated that while last
year the board expended 100000 in
the south it is prepared to spend an
nually hereafter no less than enc
million dollars in this section. Th:re
are a member of wealthy men in the
organization but the principal oacker
is understood to be Mr.. John D.

cause Of education is so we'll known.

The question Of fireworks is making
its annual call for consideration to the
mind of the young boy whose
most ecStat;c thoughts Of Christ
mas are associated with big
booming cannon crackers and laG-
ing skyrockets. However, it looks
as if the State law will considerably
curtail the Christmas joy Of the city
urchins and the small boy. The last
legislature passed q state law to the
effect that cannon crackers over three
inches in length could not be fired in
the State Of South Carolina either on
Christmas day or any other day for
that matter and Low the small boy is
in a quandary. Furthermore a city
ordinance exists against the firing OF
cannon crackers and fireworks in the
city. However, the mayor has author
ity to grant permission to the small
boy to fire crackers in back lots and
other out Of the way places and this
will probably be the case this year.
The new State law is rs follows:
Sec. |. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person to sell, barter or exchange
within the limits of this State any
tirecracker. exceeding three inches in
length and exceeding one-half inch in
diameter, or any kind Of explosive
cracker containing dynamite.
Sec. ,. Any one violating the pro-
visions Of this act shall upon convic-
tion be punished by fine of not more
than 800 or Imprisonment for not
more than 30 days" Approved Feb.
II, 1902.
A num'Jer of stores in the city are
laying in 4 big stock Of fireworks with
the expectation of furnishing fun and
amusement to the small boy and some
Of the older people during the ap-
prOachinp HOLIDAYS.
