The Salisbury Sun says of the
Virginia primary squabble: cts
a fine thing to tear up the Demo-
cratic party with" A party that
is SO corrupt that it cannot con-
duct an honest election in it's own
ranks doesn't deserve to live, and
the demise of such a sham Demo-
cratic party does not mean the
death of democratic principles, as
parties may come and go, but the
principles are imperisnable. The
death of such a corrupt party can
but liberate the true spirit from a
rotten easement and enable it's
true votaries to elevate and carry
it forward to accomplish that
whereunto it was sent.

The Responsibility.

At a banquet of employers given
IN Chicago, recently, Ethelbert
Stewart is credited with "handing
out' the following to the guests:
"The 'rable' will learn how to use
or abuse power as he sees it used
or abused. The teamsters' union
are the same teamsters who have
be(n in the business here for
years-abused, ~mistreated, I'M
derpaid, overworked, treated like
dogs by their employers, the po-
lice, the street Car companies, and
the public. They were not a
'high-handed lot of brigands,'
else why did the respectable gen.
tlemen employ them? The unions
unionize the men they find in the
industry or the occupation.
Mitchell unionizes the men he
finds IN the mines; the coal oper-
ators, not Mitchell, dictate the
membership of the miners union
and fix it's character by the char
acter of the men they hire. The
walters in Chicago were represent
ed as the very settlin's of -hell'
when they became unionized;
they were the same walters the
restaurants and hotels had been
employing for years. Jere Sulli-
van never selected one of them.
But you say that they are al
right till they get the power as
they e it used abuse it as they
see 1t abused. If you, who claim
to be wise, learned and respect
able, want to Q power used wisel
ly by the 'rabble,' set one-just
one but, sor Gods sake. set one
example. Besides, since it Is you
the employers, who dictate the
membership of trade unions by
your selection of employees: had
you not better give a thought to
that when you employ? The I'M
Ions have no connection with
steamship companies, no entang-

The Salisbury public shoots fol
white pupils begin today. It is
the intention of the teachers tc
enroll and classify the pupils du-
ring the first two weeks of the ses-

will be formed. For this reason
the patrons are urged to send the

The colored school opened Mon.

send their children promptly and
to keep them there regularly du.

A SUGGESTIVE UTTERANCE

The reporters, in giving a sy-
nopsis of Gov. Glenn's Labor Day
speech, overlooked one of the most
significant as we'll as most radical
%utterances made in the course of
his remarks, namely, that he de-
sired to e the gatling gun taken
out of the hands of the capitalists.
Now, we will not say that this
omission was Intentional but our
readers and the public generally
will agree with us when we say it
is somewhat peculiar that the re-
porters for both of our dailies
should overlook such an u%tterance.
There is a world of meaning in it,
and it would take columns to ex-
plain it. We know that Rockefel-
Ter, Vanderbilt, & Go. do not han
die these guns literally, and we al
SO know that the gun belongs to
the government, and is handled by
her soldiers. Force is the rock
bottom foundation of all govern
ments. The Governor, then, must
have meant that he wished to see
the government taken out of the
hands of the wealthy class. It is
equivalent to saying that our gov
eminent Is an oligarchy, and he
desired to Q our wealthy rulers
dethroned and the government re-
turned to the people. To which
we say. amen!

"OUR PEOPLE WHO WORK."

'OUR PEOPIE III WOhh.
The city will be given up to the
ceremonies of Labor Day" on
Monday next.
This day is made much of by
the people Of Salisbury. We well
come the event with peculiar pleas
ure. It is not to celebrate any tri-
umph which working people have
made in any contention with men
who are engaged in other pursuits,
but rather to demonstrate the dig
nifty of labor and the peace and
good will which these people feel
toward their neighbors and their
friends. The tendency of such
events is good. They cause the
laborer to think more of himself
and more of his co-workers.
The encouragement and substan-
tial aid which the organizers have
received from others, who will not
march in their ranks, is evidence
of the good feeling which exists
among all classes of our people.
The truth is, all of our people are
laborers, in n way or another.
The merchant labors with his
clerks. and they have his sympa-
thy and most earnest cooperation
in all of their attempts to rise in
the world of business and better

All of which indicates that Bro.
Caddell has not gone very deeply
into this matter. The dignity"
of labor is a myth. The dignity
of a wage-slave, a marketable COM

of the labor unions would be gov
erned by the law of demand and

very high; the very nature of his
position in society precludes the
idea. Depending upon his la' or

others Tor the condition of the la

the employing class. He has to
sell his labor to live, and as he
cannot separate his labor power
from his personality, for the time
being he sells himself, brains and
Drawn, to the employer. If he
loses one job or master, he must
Immediately hunt another, steal
or starve. All of which is very
undignifed, to put it mildly.
Yes, we all labor, Sin one way

the burglar. Some work to pro-
duce wealth, and others engage in
a competitive scramble, called
brain work, over the wealth pro-
duced by useful labor-or, in other

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
W. !. EVANS FIRED BULLET INTO
 HIS HEAD.
Mobile Man Was in Bad Health and Had Been on . Spree--The
 Wound Was Not

Advertiser Bureau, Mobile, Aug. 21. w. J. Evans. at his home, southwest corner of Eslava and Royal Streets, shot himself in the head. the ball en- tering the right temple. He was removed
 to the City Hospital in very critical condition.
 While yet able to talk, Evans said
 he had been suffering so long he could stand 1t no longer. He was book , keeper for the Young Hardware Com pany, had been in Mobile for some years and Is well and favorably known here.
 He, with his wife and three children had ben living at Esiava and Royal Streets about one year and during that period made many friends in that | neighborhood.
 Mrs. Evans gave the following state | ment this morning: Mir. Evans arose at his accustomed hour yesterday morn- | ing and appeared to be cheerful during the day. Last night he retired early. This morning she went to his bed and | told him to get up and she would pre- pare his breakfast. He complained of | severe pains in his stomach, he being 1 q sufferer from eatarrh of the stomach | for two years.
 He said he would go out in the yard | while his breakfast was being pre- pared. Mrs. Evans later heard a muf- | fled report and told her little boy. a | cash boy at Yeend & Potter's, to see what 1t was. The two walked to the | rear Of the house and she seeing smoke | exudtng from the closet door. told the boy to go in there and see what 1t was.
 The boy went into the closet and saw | his father sitting on the stool, his head 1 thrown back and blood flowing down | his face. He ran out exclaiming that | papa had shot himself.' Mrs. Evans screamed and neighbors ran in, saw l the man still in the position described, | picked him up and carried him to a | bed. A new Smith 6 Weson 3S-calibre l pistol had been used, the bullet crash ing through the temple. The city am- | bulance was hastily summoned and Dr. Oliver H. Harris, who attended Evans at the hospital, found that the bullet had passed under the scalp and | around the skull, passing out without 1 iphicting a fatal wound. He was veHt
 weak. however. from loss of blood. | Evans. it Is learned, had been indulg- ing in liquor lately and on Saturday | night was arrested for being drunk. This, with his illness, 1t Is thought, was the cause of his attempted suicide. | The firm with which he was employed l spoke we'll of him and say he was com l potent and reliable man and said there
 l was nothing wrong with his accounts.
