THE LABOR QUESTION.
SOME PERTINENT REFLECTIONS
ON A VERY LIVE SUBJECT.
Our Correspondent Believes That q
Crisis is at Hand-The Evil and
the Remedy

Editor County r. co.d:-
Please allow me space III Your
paper TO say a word TO my brother
merchants, | shall be as brief rs
possible.
Brother merchants, do YOU ever
think for a moment or realize the
great injustice We are doing our
selves. our loved ones, our credl
tors, and greatest OF ally the In
Justice 10 our farming interest, by
our verv careless manner of do
ing business, and advancing to
every little one horse or OK fellow
who can rent a ten to twenty
acre patch? Stop Tor a moment
and think how many our reckless
manner of doing business have
almost driven from their houses
and homes, and how many would
be homeless were it not for the
guardian protection Of the Law,
which allows the setting aside OF
q homestead. Think how We
have allowed our evil TO grow un-
til today many of our best farm
ers are almost forced 10 give up
their farms, on which they have
worked almost day and night for
many years, improving their
places in the hope OF reaplns
abundant harvestS, and vet are
almost compelled to give them up
on accoun, of conditions which
our reckless BUSINESS methods have
brought about. Think for mo-
ment how many have been driven
to the wall just in this way. l
could name many.
Now, brothers, let us come to-
gether and join hands and rem-
edy this great evil. Let US say
and stand by j: that We will not
take any more such chances. Let
us say that We will not advance
TO negroes on rent d, lands unless
they have proved themselves
worthy OF credit. and stand by
our resolution regardless of con-
sequences. There are many OF
our best negroes who can farm
and are worthy Of our aid and
should be helped, bnt then there
are hundreds who are no more fl
10 manage a fa,m than | am 10
build warshlp 10 sail on the
ocean. Now, brother merchants,
these are facts and We as intelli-
gent men know them 10 be true,
and if the poor farmers can not
see and will not come together and
rise up aud condemn it. let us
show them that we have the farm
ers' interest at heart.
The crisis has come aud some
thing must be done or our grand
old county is gone. We have in
South Carolina as fine land for
agricultural purposes as God ever
blessed a people with, and Ii
properly m,naged by the best
class of citizens, the crops pro-
duced would be beautiful TO the
eve and a blessed reward to those
who labor. Our poor farmers
have suffered tins year and manv
of us with them, and 1t has heen
impressed upon them that it was
the tobacco trust. Now, bro, hers,
let US own the truth and tell
them that we merchants are to
blame to a great extent. | ad-

W WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be e
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

A vast scheme is said to be on foot
with the Morgan interests at the head
of it to consolidate all the great railroads
of the country into one corporation that
will be the most stupendous trust the
world ever has seen. and it is stated up
on good authority that the beginning of
this great merger is the negotiation now
pending for the consolidation of the
PENNSYLVANIA interests and those Of the
New York Central Minot Optic.
SINCE the merger decision in United
States circuit court of appeals last week
against the consolidation of the Git
Northern and Northern Pacific as the
Northern Securities Co. it is likely the
PENNSYLVANIA and New York Central
will move slowly and cautiously if at

PROBABLY the most noted of the many
going from Cavalier county to Sas-
katchewan. n. ". l.. this summer is
Gabriel Dumont, the old half breed
warrior who fought second in command
to Louis Rel in the Manitoba rebellion
of 1884. He fled from Canada to this
side of the line, coming to Olga when
the forces of Rel were put to flight and
price of $1,000 put on his head. The
old fellow is now sixty-six years of age
and returns for peaceful visit to old
friends at Batoche and Duck Lake AS
far back as fifty years ago he freighted
across the prairies of the Dakotas and
Manitoba, and as late as 1870 shot $50
buffalo in one summer. He goes west
merely for visit expecting to winter at
his home in the Pembina Mountains.

In glancing over the bills passed upon
by the board of county commissioners it
is noted that upwards 5000 has been in
CURED in the treatment and Incidental
expense of small poX cases in the eastern
portion of the county. Had precautions
been taken at first by the families in
which the outbreak made its appearance
it is not likely the county would have
been called upon to meet a heavy drain
on it's funds for this purpose. The par
ties afflicted are in no wise endangered,
merely suffering the Inconvenience OF a
disagreable disease that does not affllct
them with permanent Disagreement.
The injury done is sustained by the
locality in which the epidemic spreads,
as when the news circulates that small
pox is rampant, those who would come
here are induced to turn in another dlrec-
ton. Isolated cases of small poX' have
been kept hid from public notice in
number of localities for some time back.
it being feared that a regulation quaran-
tine would be personal Inconvenience
Now the localities in which these parties
have mingled with the public are reap
ing the result and the county is called
upon to foot the bill. There are regula
tions governing this condition of affairs
and aid the board of health that SHOULD
be carried out to the letter without feal
or favor to any.

A Good Bill.

Mr.. Holmes. of Storey. has introduced
bill providing for the publication every
ninety days of the deaths, marriages and
births in the county. These are pub
lished once in a newspaper and become
matter OF record.
II they are published according TO law,
they become official records and can be
introduced years later in courts whers
the establishing OF such events may be
matters of great Importance.
Many an old soldiers children would
be getting pensions now, had such a law
been in force years ago 1t is almost i'm.
possible to establish ones death or birth
legally under the pressnt system il doc
uments are lost.
With such records kept in q public
