Beginnings OF Organization.

QlStrlCIE, mlHeS, ana pOrLb inCF0BSeu the
exodus of hands from rural districts and
mailer towns to the great cities, where the
labor organizations had taken shape in the
eighties, and had already given some
trouble. Then it was that the Spanish po.
liticians and statesmen first awakened to the
fact that the masses in industrial mining
districts had gradually separated from the
p 1rely political parties, even from the Rep.
ublicsns, and had started campaigns Of their
own, pursuing economical and social reforms
neglected by their rulers. Then it vas diacov-
eced that the trades-unions, the working
class associations, were daily recruiting
adherents, while in the background appear
ed the Socialists and the anarchists, more
plentiful than most people suspected. That
was the time of the anarchist atrocities in
Barcelona, and OF the imposing May day
demonstrations all over SPAN, that caused
tes to Outbid each other IN devising rea ediai
legislation. to be shelved when the scare
passed. A Sunday closing bill, bill regu-
latng the labor of acomen and ckildten,
arbitration measures, and other schemes
were inooted by the grand committee of
social reforms. Very lutte was achieved.
The Sunday. Closing Bill was the only
measure voted before the war with the
United States. After peace had been sign.
ed, a Conservative Cabinet came in, whose
prominent members were S'lveIs, Villayer-
de, and Dato. They again attempted to
induce the OOrtes to vote some remedial
but their measures were 80 oh
sIucted by the employers and so transform.
ed by amendments that they did not sa
tlsfy the working classes.
At first, the working classes did derive
some benefit from the industrial activity
iostered by the ultra protectionist tariff OF
1892, inasmuch ss for a few years more
hands found employment and the employers
did make some concessions in the shape cfl
wages. The improvement was only transi |
tory. Tbs protectionisr tariff soon affected |
the cost OF living for all classes, and the |
situation was sorely aggravated by the |
high rates of foreign exchange, in conse.
luence of the foreign aud colonial wars of |
1896 to 1898, and the heavy increass of
taxation after the war and the loss of the /
colonies. When Cuba, Porto r 90, and tie /
Philippines ceased to be q sort of monopoly |

md agriculture, the employers of labor and

Effects bo;h of their excessive import

Industries had never been able to export twoI
Millions worth Of products.
The loss Of forsign markets to nation

mons he wandered along the streets as one out of his head and policeman seeing Walter act so uncommOnly strange, walked up to him and said young man who are you. Walter Raney" was the reply. Where are you from,'' From Arkan: sas. What part?" "McCrory." What are you doing here?" T am looking for my pa. "Who is your pa?" Squire Raney, who runs an undertaker's shop at McCrory; sometimes breaches and then again practices law. " Do you know auy one else?" Yes Sir. Dr. Fakes said he was coming over Monday. He told me he had brother ivinghere. !" As result, it is said the tele- phone system was used and Wal ter directed to take a Pearl street car. He at once took his stand on one of the streets wait ing a car of the aforsaid and same description. He sat there until about ten o'clock, then he concluded there must be some thing wrong with the Pearl street car. So he walked to a near by drug store and called up the Fakes furniture store, but it was after business hours and they had long since gone home. The druggist called up the Fakes residence and Walter was again given direction more minutely. He arrived there safe about II o'clock in the night.
 Walter is o. K., but on one oc- casion, some of the onto their jobs," way-laid Walter or as Wal ter called it held him up" {" Now, what puzzles us is. how these fellows ever got it into their Satanjce heads to hold up the devil. But they found out later to their sorrow, that it was not worth the trouble as they only made a haul of 10 cents.
 Outside of these few incidents Walter had most lovely trip.

The Roaster.

The Peanut Roaster has come to town and with it comes the curiosity seekers from all parts of the world. Among the distant visitors, we note Mr. Ira Stoker of the far north, MT. F. M. Rhodes of the distant south, Tom Jeffries from toward the setting sun and Sam Kyle from the Palace of the east. The roaster was roasting the first unrOasted peanuts last Wednesday and while the roast CT was roasting said unrOasted peanuts, Lynn Jimmerson was standing near by with a new five cent piece in his hand continual ly asking MT. Cook for peanuts. Mir. Cook told him the roater had not yet roasted them and Lynn said well 1 shall wait until the roaster has thoroughly roasted the unroasted peanuts. Sam Kyle seemed to be chief engineer with Harry Walker Jr. doing all the work. Sam can certainly re- gulate the governor of aforenam- ed roaster to pefection. If Sam is desirous of increasing the speed of said roaster, he turns screw. If he wishes the machine to operate with less velocity, he also turns the screw. Sam is great one. MT. Cook deserves credit for his progressive busi- ness methods.

The Wedding.

On last Wednesday night at the pleasant home of the Brides father, a small but representa- tive company met to participate in the hymenean ceremony.
 The parlor was artistically decorated with flowers rare and fragrant with the perfume of heaven and amid the heart nov ing touches of the wedding march, entered the Bride and Groom. Then as the charming, mellow cords of sacred anthems filled the air, Rev. F. E. Taylor tied the knot that binds for time and eternity the lives of MT. Cox and Miss Clara Taylor. Soon after the ceremony, the wedding party enjoyed an elegant repast.
 About 10:30 o'clock, MT. and Mrs. Cox in company with their many friends went to the depot to await the train. Rice was very much in evidence and as MT. and Mrs. Cox seated them selves in the coach, MT Cox No. 2 opened the coach window and about a sack of rice was shower ed in at the window. One pas senger imagined he had struck the outskirts of China, but he saw no mice. The News joins the many friends of the happy coup le in wishing them a life of peace and joy; of usefulness and pros perity, laden with the breath of flowers and immersed in the baptism of Gods eternal love.

SPRING AILMENTS.

There is an aching and tired feeling; the liver, bowels and kid neys become sluggish and inac- tive the digestion impaired with little or no appetite. no ambition for anything, and feeling that the whole body and mind needs toning up. The trouble is, that during winter, there has been an accumulation of waste matter in the system. Heroine will remove it, secnre to the secretions right exit, and by it's tonic effect, fully restore the wasted tissues and give strength in place of weak ness. soc at Dr. J. B. Neal.

PAINTING IS CATCHING.

From present indications, it seems that the paint bucket cru sade is marching in both direc- tions, north and south. They pay no attention at all to the Ma son Dixon line, but proceed with undaunted courage.
 Miss Nancy gives Sam Kyle credit for this movement of pro- gress and she only hopes the fire will burn hotter and brighter with each succeeding day until our whole town will have on it's Sunday gotomeeting clothes.
 L. M. Petit has beautified the front of his fathers building which is now occupied by Tom Greer's city meat market. Mur- rv gives it the left handed touch and very artistically do he ply de brush" We may not be com petent judges, but Sam deals in lighter shades and hues than does Murry, yet Mu1ry gets there just the same.
 Of course Harry Walker has caught the fever and if he keeps his courage up and we trust he will there will be another house painted and by the way if he doesn't we Il have something to say about faint hearts etc.
 The next places, the News man is interested in, are John Phil lips front on the south ward march and MT. Nolen's and D. F'ielding's fronts marching northward. Let us all put our shoulders to the wheel. It is a strange thing to us tbat painting isn't breaking out on the west side of Edmund's avenue. Every one knows these buildings are decaying rapidly for the want of a little paint. Help the good work along.

 Somebody said Col. Charlie Daley had received a letter from his best girl. Some of the boys are thinking about having that letter printed next week. Whose baby was that? Why it was the young lady visiting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Hargis. The Doctor can now catch fish without bait. Our friend H. B. Angus came up to see the News office last Saturday. While here, he in- formed us that he had saved the seed of cotton stalk from which he expects to recuperate the flee cy staple on his place. Upon be- ing asked how he happened to find the first stalk, he informed us that this stalk had grown from a seed planted in his field with other seed, but as it out grew the other, he naturally took special care to cultivate it with extra diligence. He told us the stalk, when grown, was four teen feet higher than any other stalk in the field. To us this sounds, but yet being confronted with MT. Angus reputation for truth and veracity, we are fore ed to believe it. That is a wonder in the way of cotton stalk.

The "Devil" In Dallas.
HE SAYS HE GOT LOST AND THEN FELL IN A RIVER.

On last Friday our Devil re- turned after two weeks stay in the Lone Star State. Walter saw many strange sights while in Texas. We mention a few. A passenger coach running up and down the streets without an en- zine pulling or pushing same.
 When a person wants water in Texas all you have to do is turn a faucet at the end of a pipe and the water runs. You don't even have to pump like you do in Ark ansas. Sometimes you can t find the pipes however.
 He also saw a lady flying around in the air. Walter said the lady was hypnotized and began to rise and turn around in the air like a cOrk-screw. He saw many wonders. Two ladies standing side by side; one weighing 33 pounds and the other TIP pounds and this is no lie either, but re- member the devil tells this. He saw a lady with four feet, four hands. 20 fingers and 20 toes. Finally he saw a lady change to a tomb stone. This required quite a little time and it so completely bemuddled Walter that he was actually lost. The very idea of the devil being lost. It sounds paradoxical, yet twas true. Walter, like most other men, was first seeing all the women, but when the aforesaid strange and happenings had him in a perfect state of preservation or in the realm of witches and de

rows was especially comely.
The doctor fitted up a workroom on the
third floor of his home, where he and the
stenographer toiled hard day after day,
undisturbed by callers and well away from
the noises Of the streets.
The work of preparing for the congress
was still going forward on February IA.
when the doctors little son became ex-
cited over the sending and receiving of
valentines. The boy had been running
about the neighborhood handing love tokens
to the children he knew and many had
come to him when he remembered that h
had a father up on the third floor, in ad-
dition TO the One in heaven. Going to his
mother, he proposed that they send up a
valentine.
We'll" said Mrs. Barrows, cit is very
nice of you to remember your father How
would ii do for me to write a valentine
for him and let you take it up"
The boy was delighted at the idea and
his mother wrote upon a sheet of paper:
please kiss the bearer"
This she placed in an envelope, which
was properly sealed and addressed to the
doctor. The boy started upstairs with his
valentine, but he had been running around
a good deal during the morning and his
legs were weary. When he had reached
the second floor he met the pretty stenog-
rapher, who had started out after postage
stamps or something, and asked If she
wouldn't be kind enough to hand the note
to his father.
She took the envelope, gave the child a
pat on the cheek and ran back upstairs.
