THE MAN WHO FEELS.

The man who feels is a happier wight
Than the man who is callous and cold,
Epr if he weepS in the gloom OF night,
He laughs IN the sunbeam's gold;
And if the tide of his life runs low,
1t reaches the SUBMITS of cheer;
He knows the heights, as the depths below,
And he smiles through pitying tear,
And after it all. when all is done,
The world has most of the gladdening
sun,
For the twilight fingers when day is
done,
And the suns benediction is dear.
The man who feels is happier far -.
say it again and again S,stts.
Than ever can be, or ever are, a:
The pitiless sons of men,,
For if he sighs for his own gray woes,
He sighs for another's, too;
If the plant of pain in his bosom grows,
It is covered by sympathy's dew.
And after all, when all is said,
Still pity and love forever are wed;
That the heart unfee.ing is chill and
Is true, and forever is true.
The man who feels is a dear Gods gift
To sorrowing, Travelling world:
BY the hands that the burdens of life uplift
Is the flag or our peace unfurled.
We need not the souls that are callous as
fate,
And selfish, and welded to greed,
But the pitying tear for our fahen estate
We need-and We ever shall need
And after it all, when all is past
IT'S the deed of love that alone may
last,
And the rest is chaff in the winnowing
blast,
In the garden of life weed.

UNCLE SAM INVOKED.
Government Given Hand in Chicago
Strike Through Injunction Grant
ed by Judge kohlsaat-

For the nrst time since the strike
of the American Railway Union in
1894, the government Of the United
States has been made a party to the
labor troubles in Chicago. The gov
ernment was brought to the teamsters
strike Friday by the issuance OF an
Injunction by Judge G.. c. Kohlsaat
of the United States circuit court.
The writ was asked in behalf OF
the Employers Trading Association
on the grounds that the organization
is incorporated under the laws OF
West Virginia, and therefore Is un'
der the protection Of the federal
court. The order commands that all
defendants refrain from any interfer-
ence with the business OF the Employ
ers' Teaming company, and commands
the strikers from picketing, massfng
on the streets with intent to inter-
fere with the wagons of the complain
ant and from interfering In any man
per with men in its employ.
AS soon as issued, copies OF the In
junction were printed on large cards
and two of these were attached to
every wagon Of the Employers Team
ing company, which went upon the
street. The injunction .exerted pac-
flying influence, and there was less
rioting in the streets than on Thurs
day. A heavy thunder storm which
continued during the latter part OF
the afternoon and through the even
ing also lent material assistance in
keeping the streets clear.
Twelve arrests were made for in
reference with the Injunction, all OF
them being at one time and place.
At 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon two
wagons loaded with coal approached
the Union League Club On Jackson
Boulevard, and when they attempted
to drive into the narrow alley east
Of the club house to unload, the non
union teamsters were attacked by a
crowd Of strike sympathizers and a
lively fight resulted. The police In
charging the mob arrested twelve
strikers.
One hundred and five copies Of the
injunction were given to United States
Marshal Ames for service upon labor
leaders and five Of his assistants were
sent out Immediately to serve them.
When news Of the Injunction reach
ed President Shea Of the teamsters'
union, he issued the following order
signed by the committee Of teamster
business agents:
"To All Union Teamsters: Permit
no violation of the peace under any
circumstances. Competent drivers
cannot be procured to handle the
teams in Chicago, and violence will
not help US in this strike. Be loyal
to your union and obey its instruc'
tions."
In the afternoon, a new situation in
the strike Injunction question was
placed before Judge Kohlsaat, when
attorneys for the Scott Transfer com.
panv asked for an order to restrain
the heads Of the various unions from
calling out the men who are working
for the transfer company, which is
also Incorporated under West Virginia
laws, and that, therefore, the protec-
ton Of the United States should be
given. Judge Knhlsaat declared that
the Injunction prayed for was too
sweeping in its scope, and directed
that it be presented to him In mod
i1ed form.

A Charlotte, N. c., news item is as
follows: Spencer ]. Croxtovn, Is years
old, of Kershaw, S. c., who came
here Thursday in company with his
father and brother, in an interview,
says that he was enticed by H. B.
Howie, a private detective, to accom-
pany him to Chester and then went to
Atlanta, where he says both were ar
rested and kept in Jail from a. m.
until p. m. the next day, being taken
by the police at the depot as they
sat on trucks. He says Howie got
him out of prison on condition that
he would accompany him at So a
day.
when he was out he said Howie
made him sign an affidavit that he
saw the lynching Of the white man at
Kershaw. They left Atlanta and went
to Chester, arriving there last Sun
day. They then came up to Stouts,
n. c., to take the train and were yes
terday overtaken by Croxton's father

den and Steve w. Welsh, who were
brought before him charged with COM
plicity in the lynching Of white man
named Morrison at Kershaw last Oc-
tober. The preliminary examination
attracted crowds from the neighbor-
hood, as all of the defendants are
prominent men in their section. The
solicitor in opening Of court asked for
postponement, not being ready, and
having no witesses on the spot. This
motion was vigorously resisted by,
counsel for defendants, and as the
solicitor put up no witnesses, the
men were discharged. Following this

MUST INCREASE
STATE TAX LEVY
Heavier Needs Of State Force an
Unwelcome Step on the
Legislature. /

The stae tax levy for revenue pur-
poses will have to be increased.
The appropriations committee is
facing this disagreeable necessity. It
seems certain that the committee, while
reluctant to take such step, viii not
be able to provide for the actual ne
cessities of the state government with
out providing additional funds from
some quarter.
The tax levy for revenue purposes
last year was / mill fat. It had been
reduced by easy stages from mills.
State Auditor 1verson 3 estimates Of
money available for extraordinary ex-
penses, based on q 1-imll levy, give only
$6s0,000. Of this amount the state
capitol requires 100000 and the state
census $65,000, while the board of con-
troll estimates are in excess Of $1,000
900. The needs Of all the state institu-
struction Of the main building at the
university has created an emergency not
foreseen.
The probability is that the appropria-
ton bill will disburse money which will
require an increase of six tenths of a
mill, bringing the tax for state revenue
up to 1.6 mills. The addition will bring
in between 100000 and 100000 in
taxes. On the last years valuation
Of $945, 1907 ITO, the 1-mill tax brings
in about eight hundred thousand dollars.
This source Of revenue is only a small
part of state receipts, as the gross
earnings tax on the railroad COM
panies brought $1,91l, 184.43 this year,
and the total receipts from taxes for the
state revenue fund for 1904 were
$2,967, S26.S2. ---.....
Next year.. If the railroads do not
contest the 4 per cent gross earnings
law, the receipts from railroads will In
crease by about 100000, and the tax
levy may again, be reduced.
