Mrs. Helen L. Bullock, National
Organizer of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, will spend the
month of February in our State.
She is one of the most successful
organizers and has been most help
full in former visits to us. We have had
Mrs. Bullock in onr own home and
most cordially commend her as a
consecrsted, cultured woman. By
her Christian graces and her thought
full presentation of our cause she has
been most successful in disarming
prejudice, arousing interest and in
spring others to take up the work.
It will afford me great pleasure to
correspond at once With places that
may desire her services either to
lecture or organize.
We trust she may be able to visit
Lexington, New Brookland, Irmo,
Lewiedale and Batesburg and any
other points that may desire her.
Her addresses will prove a blessing
to any community. She expects to
reach Leesville on the 5th of Febru-
ary. The National President, Mrs.
n. NJ: L. Stevens, of Portland, Me-,
and her Secretary, Miss Annie Cor
don, expect to visit our State early
in March. Leesville is one of the
places they expect to visit and we

not. It will be great privilege to

We want to organize every town in
our county before their coming and
urge our women, who are interested
to 90 to work at once when reading
this to prepare for Mrs. Bullock's
coming and write me the earliest
date after February the 5th, when it
will suit them to have her. We

seems so absurd to our people as
that of Dantzler vs.. Lever. Evidence
galore must be gathered, for it must
be remembered that the committee
who is the tribunal in this case is
R publican.
The case Was taken up before cleo
ton committee No. 2 on the dsy
above mentioned, Col. Dudley Of
block of FIVE" fame, appearing in
the interest of Dantzler, who is an
ordinary rice field negro and it is
alleged is scarcely able to read and
write. Mr.. Lever appeared for him
self, Captain B. H. Moss, his attor-
cey, being detained at home on &C.
count Of the death of bis father.
After little friendly bandiage the
committee allowed Mr.. Lever the
right TO come in ard defend his title.
The case is set for hearing on the
18Th Of February. The whole mat
ter hinges on the corstitutionsiity Of
TIE suffrage laws of South Carolina.
Good lawyers say that these laws on
vit ! points are the same as the sui
frage laws of Massachusetts,, hence
there is little doubt that they will be
sustained and Mr.. Levers right to
his seat established beyond question

Dantzler US. Lever.

Wasbing'on,- Lever, Congress-
man from the Seventh South Carolina
District, appesred before the cleo
ton committee No. 3 OF the House
on January Is and tie preliminary
skirmish was fought. His case re
wives memory of another contest
which occurred over 20 years ago
The only case in the history of this
country exactly similar to that OF
Dan tzler vs.. I ever is case, strange
to say, that came from the same dis
trict, when E. W. III. Mackey con-
tested for the seat then occupied by
Mr.. M. P. O'Connor had finally won
from the Hon. Samuel Dibble. The
record in the case is voluminous, COW
ering several volumes, and diecloses
the thread bare charges Of fraud, bal
lot box stuf6ng and intimidation.
The charges came from both sides.
Pending the contest, O'Conuor,
oontestee, died, and a long and bitter
struggle ensued, consuming great
deal of tine and srousing excitement
in the House over the abatement of
the contest On the deeah of one of
the claimants.
The Democrats argued that the
death of O'Connor ended the con-
test and that if Maekey desired to
continue the contest be would have
to start proceedings de novo; that q
vacancy dad occurred, new election
had been ordered, and that Mr.. Dib-
BILE shoasd not be bound by the plead
ings and evidence teken in case to
which he was not a party. This con-
tention vas met ley the argument
that to permit CAGE to abate on the
death Of the ccntestee would be to
place the contestant always at the
mercy of the contestee. They ar
gued that il Vancancy caused by
the death Of the contestee would
abate the contest. e vacancy caused
by a resignation Of contestee
would work the same result. how
ever the decision was made against
tie Democrats and Mr. Dibble was
compelled to defend the seat occu-
pied by OConnor. The result was
the seating Of Mackey, the Republi-
can.
There is little fear that tie pres
ent contest will 80 end, though tbs
mere fact of having contest is suf-
fcient to handicap a member in his
work, and keep him somewhat un-
willing to enter into discussions Of
other subjects until the contest is
settled. There is great amount Of
work necessary even in case that

parent to every observer who attended
this convention.
Our picture shows President Mitch
ell addressing the convention when he
struck the keynote of the controversy.
He said:
81 desire to inform you that the
president of the United Mine Workers
has done all be can to learn the atti-
tude of the companies toward the men
on strike. We cannot negotiate with
them directly, but through others we
have the assurance that they consent
to meet the issues fairly, that they
will not blacklist any man, that they
are not vindictive, and that, as far as
possible, the men will be given their
old places. 1t will take some time for
work to be generally resumed. and

AYE" rolled through the theater. Not
one man responded in the negative.
The result was hailed with a glad
shout by the delegates. They cheered
again and again. Some of them threw
their hats in the air. The long fight
was over. After five months and nine
days of idleness 100000 men and boys
were to return to work.
John Mitchell's splendid leadership
is again triumphant. Not only has he
secured the result for which he had
been working. but he has secured 1t
amidst general satisfaction and good
feeling. His was not an easy task.
These miners are full of the spirit OF
independence and self-reliance. They
do their own thinking, and are not at
all backward about speaking their
minds. But Mr.. Mitchell knew how
to handle them. He gave them full
opportunity 10 express themselves.
Every man had a chance to voice his
sentiments. He knew how to let them
run of their own free will and how to
pull them up at the critical moment.
His generalship was unsurpassed.
He met all the inquiries of the dis
contented in frank fashion. He held
out no false hopes. He made it plain
that II the convention accepted arbi-
tration some of the men must expect
to lose the jobs which they formerly
held. After few minutes reflection
the men were in mood to accept the
advice of their leader.
President Mitchell walked to and
from the convention hall and was loud
ly cheered by great crowds in the
streets. Upon returning to his office
he first sent telegram to President
Roosevelt giving official notification of
the action of the convention, and then
he wired his wife at Spring Valley
that the end OF the long struggle had
come at last. Instantly congratula-
tions began to pour in by wire from
all parts of the country and many peo-
Pile called to shake the hand of the
modest, manly leader.
MIR. Mitchell's work is not done.
Though under great strain for many
months, he must now prepare his case
for submission to the commission.
Upon this task he is already engaged
and he will be ready. The coal oper
ators are likely to be surprised at the
completeness of his case. He will not
content himself with general state
ments or any appeal for sympathy, but
will present facts and figures. includ-
ing several thousand pay envelopes,
which will tell the tale of small wages
for hard work.
The action of the miners conven-
tion has deeper significance than the
ending of the strike. 1t is even deeper
than the vindication of arbitration as
society's last resort in putting an end
to deadlocks between labor and capi-
tai. The greatest and most far-reach-
ing lesson of the hour Is this: The
100000 mixed and self.reliant workers
of this region must be treated fairly
and handled skillfully, or they will

some may not get work at all. You
must understand this when you vote"
Strikers rushed back to the mines
on the day set for resumption of work
and the mine managers declared the
coal output will be large enough to
relieve all parts of the country before
severe weather sets in.
The coal shortage is estimated at
from $4,000, 900 to 30,000,000 tons, and
it will take two years of steady work
to bring the supply back to normal
conditions.
Returns from the field show that
hardly more than $4,000 men returned
to work at once, because of the con-
dition of many of the mines due to the
long months of idleness. In the
Wilkesbarre district there are col
lieries that are completely drowned

The great coal strike is at an end.
By unanimous vote of the miners con-
vention, held at Wilkesbarre. Pa, 1t
was agreed TO submit their case to the
arbitration tribunal and go to work
at once. No conditions were attached
to this acceptance.
President Mitchell told the conven-
ton what the result was going to be.
Therefore he felt at liberty to make
personal request of the delegates. This
was that they vote unanimously.
I'VE struck as one man; like men
we have stood shoulder to shoulder;
now let us end the strike with one
voice." he exclaimed. Then the ques.
tion was put. A mighty chorus of
