Demands Renewed.

Subsequent conventions of the In
ternational Typographical Union de-
clared, and repeated the declaration,
its earnest purpose to Introduce the
eight-hour day January l, 1906, and
this by agreement with the employ
crs. At its last convention the or
ganization appointed committee,
which by instructions appeared before
the convention of the employers as
sociation. The committee declared
that II was treated with scant cour-
tesy, and that the overtures for
peaceful introduction of the eight
hour day were contemptuously repu-
dated.
Then, carrying out their plan of
campaign, the employing printers in
the book and job trade began an at
tack upon printers unions in several
parts of the country. The hope was
entertained that by attacking a union
here and there and in advance of the
time set, the International Typo
graphical Union would be unprepared
to meet the employers, Realizing the
danger of these tactics II allowed to
be carried out without any counter
move, the officers in charge called
upon the membership that wherever
il was not in violation of existing
agreements the printers in the book
and job trade working longer than
eight hours should demand from their
employers an agreement to introduce
that system at once, or not later than
January /, 1906. This resulted in II
number OF employers agreeing to the
eight-bour day Immediately, or for
it's enforcement upon the date named.
In "A larger number of establishments
strikes were inaugurated. Since then
the reports from the officers show
large successes, many accessions to
their ranks, and the eight-hour day
enforced in many of those offices.
From the Employers Viewpoint.
New York, Dec. 29.-The United
Typothetae of America, in conjunc-
ton with the Typothetae of the City
of New York, is confident of its posi-
tion in the struggle with the Inter-
national Typographical Union, which
begins next Monday. The situation Is
regarded as favorable to the employ
ing printers. The secretary of the
| organization reports that the assess
ment OF one-half of one per cent on

met promptly and that the fund has
been used with success In employing

An official statement issued by the
secretary says Taking the situation
as a whole, the Typothetae has reason
to be well satisfied regarding present
conditions, and the future outlook
our cause is absolutely right, our po

MIR. BOATWRIGHTS AFFLICTION
AND OTHER ITEMS.

Poor Willie isno more. The second
son OF Mr.. j. j. Boatwright, died Aug.
25th at p. m. Willie was a good
boy and well beloved by all his associ-
ates in this section. He was Of
quiet disposition and we'll behaved
and obedient to his parents.
A short while before he died he call
ed all to his bedside and bid them
ali good by; telling them that he was
going to leave them and that he
could not return to them but that
they must prepare to come to him.
1t is hard indeed Tor a father and
mother to give up such child and
son, but the good Lord saw fit to call
Willie to himself and we should not
murmur nor complain for the Lord
knows best what is for our good.
On yesterday evening Mrs. ]. ].
Boatwright died from this same dis
ease, typhoid fever. Two of her child
rem have already gone before and one
more, Miss Gracey died today, Thurs
day. Mrs. Boatwright will be buried
this afternoon at Hall cemetery at
this place. Mrs. Boatwright was a
devoted wife and mother and beloved
by all who knew her. She waS-a- con.
sistent member of the Samaria Bap-
tist church and will be sadly missed
by th9church and especially by her
devoted husband and little children.
Mr.. Boatwright has the deepest sym
pathy of the entire community in his
sad bereaYementS. DIR. w. l.. Kneece
the attending physician did every
thing in his power for this Athlete d
family, but, it seemed, that medicine
had but little effect over this dreadful
disease.
Mr.. Boatwright's misfortunes are
dreadfully severe and the old adage,
troubles never come singly" is ter
| ribly verified in his case.
Mr. Boatwright has lost three child
rem and his wife within the last two
weeks from typhoid fever. Another
child is now SEX and five, having had
the disease, are now up and getting
| well.
The neighbors here have helped as
far as they can but this is case that
calls 70 general help, not only words
lof sympathy, but the practical ma
terialaid of the helping hand,

NEW WARE HOUSES AND FULL
OF MEAT.
(From our regular correspondent. }

(From our regular correspondent.)
Crops here i'm this section and be-
lieve in all Aiken County are, much
poorer than last year. This applies
mainly to cotton, corn being about, or
almost as good, as last year. The de-
terioration in cotton however was ap-
palling AT one time the present crop
bid fair to become a record breaker.
1t is with pleasure that we note the
activity of the Farmers Association.
Contrary to the expectations of many
they are asserting themselves in a
very substantial manner. 1t is cer-
tainly high time they were asserting
themselves. They are inrge class Of
professionals that are not thoroughly
organized, They are the only class OF
people, who have no voice in the
prices paid for their supplies. and
prices that are paid them for their
produce.
Our section is going to be materially
helped by the warehouse that is being
built in Aiken. 1t is in close proxim-
ity to us. This warehouse will oblit-
crate the chances of our farmers los
ing any more cotton at the hands of
dishonest factors. Several Of our
neighbors were heavy losers recently
in the "breaking" Of the Augusta
Cotton Factorage Company. 1t is
safe to say that it will be literally
patronized, and the success of the
scheme is almost assured as it has for
stockholders. merchants, bankers and
farmers.
