Fort Mill Will Be There.

The indications are that Fort
Mill will be represented by quite
a number of voters at the State
campaign meeting at YorkviIle
Friday. The principal interest, of
course, centers in the race for gov
ernor, and the three leading can
didates, Messrs. Tillnlan. Hayward
and Talbert, will each have friends
from this side of the Catawbu in
the audience.
Some are also anxious to hear
the speech of Jas. Cansler, who is
runnlng-w whether very fast, de
ponent sayeth not-for the Office
of railroad commissioner. For
several years Mr.. Cansler has been
what some term chronic Office.
seeker, for the position of county
superintendent of education. HAY
ing failed to land the Job, he now
aspires t. something better. Nav
he he Will succeed and may be he
won't. A number of newspapers
rld,cule his speeches and say that
he Is the clown of the campaign
party, while others aver that he Is
as sensible and makes as good
speeches rs his opponents. In any
event, he is sure to prove good
drawing card, being county man
and having the reputation of u
mlrth maker. Whether he will
draw as we'll on election day is an :
other story-one that can not be
told till after August Goth There
are probably few, however, who
would trade the prospect of II
nights refreshing sleep for his
chances of success.

Condition Of the Growing Cotton Crou.

The high temperature of last
week continues in the Gulf and
Atlantic States, but without injury.
as the weather is generally cloudy.
AS consequence of prevailing
thunder showers, and general rain
IN sections, the temperature has
moderated, and is now slightly be-
low normal i'll the northern portion
of the belt" about normal i'm
Georgia and the Gulf States, and
slightly obove normal in Texas, all
of which is very favorable.
A general rain in the Atlantic
States, with thunder showers over
the entire belt, with the exception
OF Tennessee and Arkansas, has
put the greater portion of the
crop in favorable condition.
Rain is still needed in the west
ern portion of Texas, but the re-
mainder of the State is in good
condition.
The continued dry weather in
Arkansas and Tennessee has for
tunately been attended by cool
nights and moderate temperature
during the day, with considerable
cloudlness, SO that with moisture
from June rains, conditions are
still favorable. Good rains would
prove very acceptable just now.
The drought has been broken in
the southern portion of Louisiana
by good rains and temporarily
relieved i'll central portion by good
showers accompanied by general
cloudlness. Deterioration has been
arrested, but the whole State needs
rain.
Conditions in Mississippi are
about the same as in Louisiana.
although rains have been little
more general. If good results are
to follow in this State, the rains
must continue.
Conditions IL Alabama are some
what improved, though there is
not sufficient rainfall for safety.
In Georgia conditions are near
ly perfect, the rainfall in this State
having been more general than in
any other portion of the cotton
region.
North and South Carolina have
been blessed by generous rains and
conditions are pronounced well
nigh perfect.
Upon the whole, the past ten
days have been favorable in the
greater portion of the belt.

McLaurin declining the preferred
appointment to the vacancy on the
bench of the United States court

said, much regrets Senator Nc

general of South Carolina would
have rendered him n particularly

MINERS APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
The Circular States tiie Line of Action
Determined 0n-NO General Strike

Determined 0n-NO General Strike.
AT O'Clock Saturday afternoon
the convention of United Mine
Workers, in session at Indianapo-
lis, md, adjourned after declaring
against general strike, providing
for the raising of a fund with
which to aid the striking acthra.
cite miners and issuing an appeal
to the people of the United States
for support.
1he circular to the public states
the line of action determined on
and the reasons therefor. Ii saws
in part:
when we look upon enormous
fortunes that our labor has made
possible, and luxuries it brings to
the people at large and then ex
anime the paltry pittance we re-
ceive rs wages for the labor we
have to perform, the dangers we
undergo, the dampness we must
endure, the foul air we must
breathe and the peculiar rheumatic
and lung troubles, superinduced
by these conditions which we must
bear, we naturally feel that we are
being dealt with unjustly.
1.-The extremely low wages paid
to anthracite miners; the refusal of
the coal companies to have the
coal properly weighed, or permit
the miners to employ a man, at
their own expense, to see the coal
they have mined weighed, meas
ured or credited; the great number
of hours the miner must work each
day in the most unsanitary condi
tions; their cruel and unjust treat
ment by petty bosses; the arbitrary
assumption by the employers that
neither the miners nor the public
has any rights that are entitled to
be considered by them, have forced
us to organize, not TO take from
the operators that which blongs to
them, but to secure, by business
methods, better treatment and fair
recompense for our labor.
IF 1t lis the purpose of the coal
operators 10 destroy our union.
then upon the principle that self
preservation is the first law of II +
ture, we would be fully justified in
taking drastic measures to prevent
the accomplishment of their de-
signs.
I'VE believe that our interests in
the community and our obligations
to the operators with whom we
have agreements, require that we
shall not lnaugurate general sus
pension of work in the coal trade.
They may destroy our union, but
they cannot make us violate our
contracts. The struggle in the an.
thracite region will be continued
until our demands have been
granted or competent board of
arbitration has declared that We
are wrong"
The circular appeals for all pos
sibie pressure on the officers and
stockholders of all anthracite coal
interests to secure a general arbi-
tration.
The miners of Illinois have ap.
propriated $4,000 from their
treasury. Ohio gave $4,000 and
Iowa and Indiana promised CON
tributions later. President Mitch

imately $1,000,0O0 in the treasu-
rles of the various local unions, of
which they should contribute one
half. The convention then ad-
