Sickness and Accident.

The Mill Operatives Sick and Acct,
dent Fraternal Union of America has
been organized and has commenced
business here. MIR. j. p. MahoD is gen
eral managerial local union has been
organized with 6. p. Smith as presi-
dent and l.. d. Pitts, secretary and
treasurer.
The Union is an assessment society,
the membership of which is limited to
cotton mill operatives and insures

The plan is well considered and it is
believed that the Union will supply a
real need in the cotton mill district.
Good men are interested in it here and
the local division begins life under
promising auspices.

WONDERING AT sERvIA.

We frown and make faces and even
shutter at the horrible news of the
murder of the king, the queen and the
cabinet at Belgrade last week for po-
litical purposes and wonder why the
people of that little old dried up state
do not get together, establish them
selves under republican form of gov
eminent and become civilized. But
perhaps the intelligent people over
there who read the news from the
United States are wondering why we
do not become little more civilized
and stop numbering each other for
precisely the same political reasons
that caused the murder of the king
and his attendants at Belgrade.
Goebel, the governor of Kentucky,
was shot down for the same reason
that the king of Servia was-b because
he was in and the outs could not get
him out any other way. And up in
Chicago at this writing all laundry
establishments have been shut down
because the proprietors are afriad to
start up in business ON account of
the threats of the striking employees.
And we hear of similar cases all over
the country. Yet we roll up the
whites of our eyes and wonder why
the Servians do not go way back and
sit perfectly still until they become a

The Clarion-Ledger yesterday got
things mixed or some of it's prominent
citizens are going wrong. 1t stated
that hereafter when a fellow was
brought up before the mayor for
drunkenness the latter was going to
make him tell where he got the booze,
and then it adds: During the next
few days some of Jackson's most
prominent citizens will be brought up
before the mayor to tell where they
got their liquor. - These "most promi-
nent citizens of Jackson should not
get so drunk that they have to be
brought up before the mayor, but if
they should we do not believe it is
any business of the mayor where they
got their whiskey so they did not
steal it any more than they should
tell where they got their tobacco,
or meat and bread for their families
or their religion so they got it hon.
estly. Besides perhaps some of these
prominent citizens arrested for
drunkenness and presented to his
honor would have a very faint idea
where they did get all the whiskey
they drank the night before.

Third-That the civil list be in

TO ABATE THE EVIL.


A suit that has caused more thar
the usual amount of interest has al
last been disposed Of We refer tC
the suit wherein Rev. W. L. High.
tower was plaintiff and P. Wagnorer
defendant. The suit was begun by
charges being preferred against
Wagnorer of selling liquor to minors,
and after three days wrangling of at
| torneys and examining witnesses the
verdict of not guilty was returned on
| Thursday moring sThis is without
doubt the last chapter of a. bitter
fight in opposition TO the saloons be-
gun two years ago, and we believe
most of our citizens are glad that the
warfare is over as the contest has only
served to widen the breach between
the ants and the pros. Let our citi-
zens as far as possible blot from their
membrance of this contest, and rise
mp as one man and work for the inter
est of McHenry and eve shall soon see
her bloom as rose. -McHenry' N ews
1t is very likely that no one was
very depely interested in this case ex-
cept the reverend gentleman as the
plaintiff at one end and the defendant
at the other. From what can be
gathered it was more of case Of spite
than to do good for the cause Of pro-
hibition or the moral nature of the
human race. And every little case of
this kind coming up in the form this
one did has the opposite effect to
what is intended. Whenever the
church or politics takes hold of the
prohibition question with the object
of forcing men to quit the evil habit
of drinking there will be kicking from
the other side.
Men must be treated as human be-
ings, and not like dumb beasts that
must be driven. They must be
treated as reasonable beings who are
capable of knowing right from wrong
and they must be dealt with accord
ingly. Many men who drink intoxi-
cants or sell it read the bible as much
so as the man who does not drink
and they find no passage in it
where it says if a man sells whis-
key or drinks it he must be hauled up
before the courts and prosecuted to
the bitter end
The evil arising from the drinking
of whiskey-the debauchery, tie muir
ders, the heartaches, the result of sui
cides and other crimes of the blacklist
nature-is simply appalling and
should be checked if there is any pos
s1ble chance, but it cannot be done
by the means usually applied. There
is not man who drinks whiskey who
does not inwardly acknowledge that
he is doing wrong. There is not a
man who drinks whiskey to excess
that it does not hurt his conscience
and has heartaches known only to
himself Then this conscience must
be worked on. 1t must be nursed as
the two month old infant. The man
must be reasoned with, persuaded,
convinced, if possible, but not the
least force must be attempted. And
every time force is applied it has the
tendency of setting back the good re-
suits already accomplished just that
| much. Some men can be convinced
| of their errors and persuaded to do
right. but no man can be forced to
abandon that which Gods nature has
given him.
