DID NOT INCITE REVOLT
Protest Issued by Executive Committee
of the Coalition Party.

Budapest, March 1.-THE executive
committee Of the coalition party today
issued a protest against the decree of
the council of ministers dissolving the
committee and prohibiting it from con-
tinuing operations. The protest de-
clares that the executive committee has
not melted revolt, but to the contrary
has emphasized the fact that it was to
the interest of the nation to maintain
order. It argues that the leaders of
the party1are not subject to govern
ernment supervision but are free to
express their opinions like other sub
jects. The protest concludes with a
statement that the committee will con-
tinue it's activity within the limits of
the law
The despatch from Budapest last
Friday announcing the dissolution of
the executive committee of the coali-
ton said it was a drastic blow to the
activity of the anti-government forces
and was based on the ground that the
committee had "arrogatd the rights be-
longing solely to executive power and
adopted resolutions and issued mani
festoes ''inciting public resistance to
the lawful ordinance Of the govern
ment"

ball umpire IN the country. She is
~ years old. handsome and healthy

Of the game is thorough and she has
an intimate acquaintance With all the

Miss Clements services are equally
sought by amateurs and professionals
and she has received urgent calls.

Indicator" at baseball contests.
Miss Clement. however. continues
her studies at the college and is not
at all disturbed by the peculiar tame
that she has acquired. She receives
pay and expenses for her work on
the diamond, and could make an ex-
cellen. living by umPiring. but has
decided not TO abandon her books.
With the money she has already
earned she will be able 10 continue
in school for a longer period than
she had anticipated. Mss Clement 5
home is in Hudson. She received
her knowledge OF baseball thr, ugh
her brother who is a professional
player. She first started umpiring
for fun. but her woik at once
challenged recognition. and she be-
come a prime favorile. When she
appears on the field she wears a
natiy blue suit and a short blouse,
her wreath Of hair being tucked up
beneath a captivating cap. No hesi-
tation marks her rulings. and when

Labor Becoming Scarce In
The South.

John L. McLaurin. Of South Caro-

the senate. has devoted hins. n
energeiioally 10 the Industrial de.
velopmeui Of his State and Of the
South. in an interview at Washing

The South is suffering from a
scarcity Of labor that Is more notice
able this year than ever before. On
my plantation in South Carolina. for
the hrs, time within my memory.
some Of my negro cabins are empty.
The negroes are leaving the farms
and are going elsewhere. Thou
sands have gone 10 the North TO be-
10 beome hotel walters and poriers
and servants generally. Many
thousands more have been drawn
away by the great era Of railroad
buildings In different parts OF the
country. Other thousands have
taken places as hands in manufac-
tories IN cities and towns. What is
left is not OF so good a quality as
We had in the generation just passed.
In slave times the negro was com
PEELED TO keep regular hours and
take care Of himself, and thus he
was a valuable chattei. Nov the
young negro gets into all sorts Of
dissipation, which seriously impairs
bis usefulness. The result is Il is
next to impossible TO get sufficient
capable labor on the farms Of the
South.
"What will be the result1 In my
judgment. cur planters will have to
turn to Italian labor. The negro
has proved a political failure. and
now he is demonstrating an indus
trial failure. New and better labor
will replace him a, the plantations.
What Is TO become Of him ! don't

City Department Store vs..
Home Merchant.

One Of the many growing evils Of
the country to-day is the city de-
psrtmeni store. In our town, where
nc have the best Of stores. the most
honorable Of merchants. and where
goods are sold at margin so small
as not ic afford a respectable living
TO our business men. thousands OF
dollars are annually sent TO the de-
paytment stores Of our great cities.
Farmers sxpect our merchants to
pay them a fancy price for butter.
eggs and poultry. for their pumpkins
potatoes. apples. and tomatoes. and
then they take the money received
from our home merchants and send
u 10 a city department store. There
Is neither economy nor honor ia such
a manner OF doing business. You
can write Il down in your hat. that
as a rule, the city department store
Is a swIndle.
Our citizens who paironize ihem
should be compelled 10 ship their
butter and eggs 10 them. There IL
no, a business mar in our town Who
vill no, duplicate their prices for
the same quality Of goods. aad he
shO turns dosn his home merchant
TO paironise these fakirs Is far from
being loyal. patriotic and god
