Unknown Young Man Hurt at Calhoun.

Calhoun, September 4.-Y esterday
afternoon young man, seriously if not
fatally hurt, was found near the railroad
at this station, which is on the main
line OF the Southern between Seneca and
Grccnville. The man is still unconscious
and so far it has been impossible to dis.
cover his name. He is about six feet
tall, about 30 years old. has red hair and
mustache and wears an Odd Fellows
badge. A hat found near him has the
initials 81. ID. H." cut oD the inside.
The unknown and unfortunate man is
being well cared for by the citizens OF
the town at the residence of w. II.
Chapman.
Foul play is suspected as the cause OF
the young mans serious condition, and
the newspapers are asked to give pub.
licity TO the fact of his condition in
order that the mystery may be solved.

Cholera In Germany.

Berlin, September 2.-The record to-
night stands at 81 cholera cases and l9
deaths, steady increase and a high per.
centage of mortality. The most uneasy
news for America is that second case
exists at Hamburg. 1t was officially re-
ported late to-day that laborer in st.
Georges hospital where the Russian
emigrant died, has cholera but it is
added that the seizure is of mlder
form than the previous one. Two of the
other fresh cases are in east Prussia in
dicating that the infected area has
widened. The imperial health Office, as
shown by the statement made to-day to
the Associated Press, is confident that it
has the disease in hand. The most re-
c"ntly reported victims are among the
Prussian river men in quarantine.

WALHALLA, 3. e. 1;
wEDNEsDAy. SEPT. q, 1905,
THE PRICE FOR PICKING COTTON.

Chesterfield farmers have arisen in
their might and resolved that they will
not pay above 40 cents per hundred
pounds for picking cotton. This is an
age of resolutions and declarations and
pledges in various forms and for various
purposes, but the most unique and iron
clad oath we have seen is that of the
Chesterfield farmers, which appears thus
j n the Florence Daily Times:
eve, the Undersigned, swear before
God that we will not give over 40 cents
October 10, 1905, and do hereby forfeit
$50 if | violate the agreement. The
same as $50 to be paid to all names on
the list"
The pledge, in the latter clause, is q
little muddy" or at least badly ex-
pressed, but we presume that each
farmer who signed it stands pledged to
pay to each of the other signers the sum
Of $50 should he pay more than 40 cents
per hundred pounds for picking out his
cotton crop prior to October 18th, after
which time the work of picking is made
more tedious and the laborer cannot earn
as much as at the early picking season.
The signers of this pledge will, however,
find themselves in bad row of s.umps
in lease the laborers say they will not
pick cotton at 40 cents per hundred. The
best plan is for the planter and laborer
to agree upon fair and equitable rate
of wages and stand by it. The principle
of the employer saying in advance to
che laborer, 81 will pay you no more
than 40 cents for your work" is just as
exasperating as when the laborer says,
''You must pay me 80 much or l won't
work for YOU" Each tends to arouse a
spirit of resentment that can easily be
avoided by agreeing upon fair compen-
sation, just to employer and employee
alike. We are not prepared to say the
rate of 40 cents is too low, nor do we
know what the laborers of Chesterfield
demand for their services. We simply
speak of the bad principle of arbitrarily
fixing rate with an emphatic 81 won't
pay more" What in one section of the
country might be fair compensation.
in another the laborer might not be able
to make living ut. 1t depends entirely
upon the nature of the fields where the
work is to be done. In Oconee the rate
for picking cotton ranges variously from
33f to 80 cents per hundred pounds, ac-
cording to the crop and the season of
the year.

aNe 1Dispensary Election Yet.

The petitions asking for an election on
the question Of "Dispensary' or ''No
Dispensary" for Oconee. were checked
with the registration books by Supervisor
Hobson and Rev. c.. Wardlaw on Mon
day and Tuesday.
The petitions contain the verified sigma.
lures Of 9SS registered voters who ask
that the election DO held. The registra-
tion books in tho spring of 1904 had on
their pages 4,S5l qualified electors. OF
this number it is generally conceded that
about 1,200 are deceased or have left the
county, leaving about 5000 bona fide
electors. The Supervisor had to act ac-
cording to the books, but the Registra-
ton Board has been asked to revise the
books, which, ills understood, will be
done within the next few days. One
fourth Of the qualified electors of the
county must ask for an election before
it can be ordered by the Supervisor. The
prime movers in the request for spe-
cial election felt confident that they had
enough signatures to enable them to
have an election ordered for October 7th,
but on checking up it was found that
the petitions lack 225 names of having
one-fourth the voting strength, according
to the books. Rev. Mr.. Wardlaw, while
temporarily disappointed, has taken the
lead again in the movement for prohibi.
ton and will go to work zealously to
bring the movemen to successful con-
clusion. The result so far was not only
disappointment TO some, but a surprise as
we'll, to friends and foes of the dispensary.
Even the dispensary advocates had
generally conceded that the election
would be ordered as soon as the compari.
son of the lists and registration books
was made.
Rev. Wardlaw informs us that there
are several petitions out that he has not
heard from.
