LABOR NOTES.

The trade unions are doing no boy cotting-the people generally attend to that for themselves.
 Communications from all parts of the country rendering moral and financial aid keep the boys in the best of spirits.

 Up to last night the Buffers and Pol ishers' union had turned in $194.25 from the sale of, concert tickets Pretty good for one union.
 It is doubtful if the two regiments of the National Guard. together with Sheriff Durham and his deputies, did as much toward restoring and main taining order as did the little band of strikers themselves.
 Shortly after the strike started Man. ager Sewell said that the men would commence coming back to work for the company one or two at time and thus gradually they would secure all of the old faces. It takes a long time to get them started.
 Everything is in readiness for the concert for the benefit of the strikers at Polls tomorrow night. The pro- gram, as will be seen, is an excellent one. and undoubtedly every seat will be filled. Those who have not reserved their seats should do so. at once.
 Regularity in turning in the assess ments to the strike committee is of the utmost importance. Don't wait for q month and turn in the fopr weeks as Sessment at one time but turn if in weekly and promptly Pay day is every Sunday and the money should be paid early to give the committee ample time to make up the pay roll. A strict adherence to this plan will be greatly appreciated by those in charge.
 Both the strikers and the Central Labor union committe 5, have until very recently had hopes that something would turn up to bring about . speedy settlement of the present troubles. These hopes have about been aban- doned and they are settling down for a fight to the finish New methods of procedure will undoubtedly be resorted to ere long to bring the comnany to q more reasonable frame of mind. The strikers themselves are as firm as ever in their resolve to never do another days work for the company until fair treatment is accorded them, and their advice from other unions is to main- tain their present attitude and that funds will be provided no matter how long the time may be.

 The Central Federated union of New York city has a large blackboard upon which is placed the names of poli- ticians and office-holders ~who show by their acts that they are opposed to the interests of organized labor. Such a board would not be without use in the Central Labor union rooms of Water bury.
 The new bylaws of the Central Labor union provide for the expulsion of any member who purchases non- union goods of any description when those of union make could have been procured. This idea should be pat termed after by other local unions. There are too many union men who recognize no label but their own.
 It remains to be seen whether the state of Connecticut will recognize" organized labor. Should some of the bills now before the legislature become laws it will do so in manner not to be desired. Some labor leaders how ever, aver that nothing would please them more than to see these mea sures enacted they believing nothing else could bring the working people of the state to their right senses and lead them to demand justice at the polls. Y Senator Tracy's. bill for incorporating trades unions should be entitled "An act for the externination of organized labor" The passage of this, with the compulsory arbitration bill. which was also introduced by Waterbury's sena- tor, would give to Connecticut two of the most obnoxious labor laws on the statute books of any state in the union Is this the way that Senator Tracy re- pays the staunch union men who worked and voted for him on election day?

WILL OPEN SEPT. u
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING.
Appropriated Money to Help Pay for I'm
pr0yementS on BrOnWOOd and
SaSser School Houses.

A recent meeting of the county
board of education was quite an i'm.
portant one, as several matters of i'm
portance were up for consideration
and settlement at that time, including
the determining of the date for open
ing the public schools of the county.
The board decided that the long
term schools should begin on Septem-
Der 10 and continue, with two weeks
for Christmas, until June 5, which
embraces session of nine months
one month more than the long term of
last year. The public term will begin
on October Is and continue for six
months, as usual, during which time
the schools are enabled by the state
fund to furnish their advantages to
pupils free of charge.
The new Bronwood school house has
been completed, and the board ordered
81, 500 paid on it from the county school
funds. 1t is quite a handsome build
ing, and reflects much credit upon the
little town of Bronwood. The sum of
$3.50 was also ordered paid on the
improvements to the Sasser school
house.
A special examination for teachers
was scheduled by the board to occur
on October II. This action of the
board was taken to enable the teach
ers of the county who failed to take
the regular examination this year to
qualify themselves at that time to re-
ceive licenses. 1t is probable that
quite large number will take the ex-
animation.

Some of the farmers of Terrell coun'
tv have about come to the conclusion
that it is not the caterpillar after all
which has been doing the destructive
work to cotton in this section, or at
least in this county. Instead of the
caterpillar they seem to think that it
is grass worm which has been de-
vouring the plant.
Several weeks ago it was seen that
some kind of destructive insect had
appeared in the cotton fields in Ter.
rell, aud the pest was at once pro-
nounced the caterpillar. Some who
are familiar with this species of worm,
however, say that the attack has been
different somewhat from that made by

this variety of the insect family, and
after examining the worm have
changed their verdict in the mat
ter.
There now seems to be very little
doubt, in the minds of many at least,
that the grass worm was the attacking
party. The work of this worm is not
so destructive as that of the caterpillar
and its appearance is consequently not
nearly so much dreaded as that of the
former.
For time fears were grave lest the
cotton crop should be cut off at least
fifty per cent in Terrell county as re-
suit of the appearance of this pest, but
it. is not now believed that the damage
will be near so great.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portions OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in>
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
EustSchian Tube When this tube is infiSmed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of deafness caused by catarrh that cannot be cur

The faculty was never better. The
