$ INEFFICIENT AS a LAsoRER

The Savannah Morning News
discussing the labor question in the
South, declares this section is "up
against serious problem in the
labor line. The negroes who have
been the South's mainstay for
more than half century, can no
longer be depended on. The ne
gro, as general proposition, lives
a kind ofhand- to-mouth existence,
and sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" most emphatically in
his case. If the negro could make
enough in one day to support him
self for year in the somewhat in
different fashion in which the vast
majority of them live, he would
loaf the remainder of the time.
The increased demand for his la
Dor in the mills and factories has
enabled the negro to earn a larger
wage, which merely means that
he will have to work lesser num-
Der of days. And this is where
the cotton planter, the lumber man
the turpentine operators and en-
ployers of negro laborers generally,
must suffer With low wages for
the negro, he lives just as high,
does not have time to get into mis-
chief, and is of many times more
value than at the present time.
The "new negro is decided re-
progression.

THINKS cHlvALRY BUT FICTION

A Southern woman is thus quot
ed by the State of Columbia, S. G.
"You know one hears so much
about Southern gentlemen and
Southern chivalry' when, as
matter of fact, gentlemen are ex-
ceptions and chivalry is fiction.
OF course I allow a few excep-
tons"
The State makes this comment:
"And after studying the subject
and hearing the complaints of
women who in honorable profes-
sional capacities travel through
the South, as recorded in the State
yesterday, one is impelled to adj
nit that the above opinion by a
Southern woman who has travelled
in all parts of this country has too
much foundation. That verdict
is not pleasant to hear. 1t will
not be generally accepted; at least
every one hearing it will imme-
diately vote himself one of the Eek
ceptions.' Nevertheless, there
have recently been public acts that
support it In South Carolina,
North Carolina and Texas, and it
is well that the degree of truth it
contains be recognized"
To this criticism the Nashville
American makes the following
trite reply:
In the old days of the South
there was somewhat exaggerated
spirit of chiYalry, and there were
gentlemen who would have doubt
less proved satisfactory as such to
the female critic above quoted.
The South made speciality of pro-
ducing gentlemen in those days,
and there were no finer anywhere.
Since then times have changed
somewhat end manners have
changed with them.
But we still have gentlemen
brave, manly and generoas-gen-
tlemen who honor and revere wo-
man, who lead honorable lives,
have practical common sense, even
if some of them are lacking in those
civilities, refnements, courtesies
and outward graces that are so at
tractiye and pleasing to those who
are easily influenced by superb
cialities. Fewer gentlemen wear
ruff1ed shirts and more wear Jump
ers than ever before, but gentle
men are found all over this coun-
try and the South has more than
it ever had beforehand as many
gentlewomen. If the gentleman
of tradition and legend and song
and story has disappeared, what
has become of the gentlewoman
who was his guiding star? Has
the new woman taken her place?

A Frightful Accident on the Baby Gauge
.a3q-s.IpHx Railroad. iiIiElSzS

What might have been a very
serious accident took place one day
last week when engine No. 8, on the
twenty-inch gauge, got loose on d
seven per cent. grade, and with wet
rails and no sand, travelled at a six
tyaniile-gaft Until "a switch was
reached at curve. The drivers
were at d standstill and whensthe
switch -was--feached- the engine quit
the rails and landed in -the-canyon
fifteen feet below, bottom up. Owing
to the fact that the days work had
eemes to a ,elose, there WERE seven
persons on the engine. Engineer H.
S. Miller, was at the throttle and
staid with the engine until the crash
came. Miller, Dan Murphy, the
boilermaker and Fred -Feiler, a car
penter, were the only Americans on
-the-engiaer- When Miller discovered
that there was no chance to save a
wreck he called to his companions to
iump.--The--frem lost--no= time in
getting off, but another Mexican who
was riding in the cab, got as far as
the step, where he blocked the way
and the rest of the boys were COM
PEELED to stay on. There were two
MeXicaps- riding on the tender. One
jumped and the other went down
with the engine, but was not injured.
The engine; with Murphy; Miller and
Feiler, landed on the cab, bottom up
on point of rock and steam at once
began to fly. Murphy received
rather severe jar on the back and
was badly burned about the neck and
shoulder. Both hands and one foot
were also severely scalded. Feiler
received severe burns on the face
back. and one Leg Miller, who was
the last one to get out, was burned
on the face, hands and leg. He also
received a cash in the head and a
badly crushed hand. The boys are
at the hospital, where they are get.
ting along nicely and consider them
selves lucky-not to have been more
seriously hurt. Shortly after the
boys got in the clear the engine
tumb led down the hill. Had it gone
all the-way-- with its occupants it is
likely that results would have been
more impressive.

MOrenci's Anti-Jointure Club.

As. a result of the anti-jointure,
non-political meeting held at Mo-
renci two weeks ago, under the
auspices. of the county. republican
central committee, club with one
hundred and twenty-five members
has been formed, and more names
are being added daily: 1t is the
laudible ambition of this club to see
that not single vote is cast in
Morenci for joint statehood. Clifton
should have a similar club. In
unity there is strength. a meeting
should be called at no distant date
for the formation of this club, in
which the members of all political
parties should be requested to be-
come members.

An Electrical Surprise.

On Monday afternoon last the
electrical wires of the Clifton hotel
were the means of conducting a bolt
of lightning from the atmosphere
into the hotel, which came near
resulting in very serious fire. The
hotel is fitted for both gas and cleo
trio lights, an electrical wire passing
each side of the gas pipe. In some
unaccountable- manner the lightning
created short circuit which melted
the gas. pipe. and then the gas ig-
nited. In a short time afterwards
the room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Abraham was on. fire, but owing to
the fact that Mrs. Abraham was in
the room at the time, and gave the
alarm, the flames were soon subdued.
1t was close call for the property,
and created much. excitement at the
time. p
