The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1906-12-06

The union worker represents the
highest class of labor and the most
skillful species of artisan. His
unioniSm stands for fairness to-
wards himself, his family and his
employer: and the good union
stands just as ready to see the en-
ployer treated fairly aS it does the
member. 1t must be equitable in
its decisions if it i to prosper and
grow, and the more extreme it's
fairness the greater its prosperity
Justice to all must be its watch
word and from this motto there
must be no deviation

Fort Saratoga.

With the history Of Old Saratoga the
names Of Schuyler and Livingston are
closely associated. Fort Saratoga was
built in 1880 by Major Peter Philip
Schuyler, and around it grew up a
small settlement which suffered many
vicissitudes during the troublous times
Of the next hundred years. Lying on
the thoroughfare from Canada to New
York, this northern valley Of the Hud-
son was always in dispute in the
French and Indian war, and in the
Revolution until the great battle OF
Saratoga-the first victory over which
the American flag waved, and one OF
the fifteen decisive battles Of the
world. The actual battle-ground is sew
eral miles away from the settlement
and is marked today by many stones
recording the brave deeds Of our Amer
lean soldiers. The house still stands in
which Arnold was confined as prisoner
and from which he escaped in time to
help turn the tide Of battle toward VIC
tory.-Four Track News.

Injunction Against State Board.

COLUMBIA, June 30.-Messrs. Bellinger
& Welch, attorneys of this city, today
appeared before Associate Justice G. A.
Woods at Marion and asked that an in
junction be granted against the State
board of education restraining them from
carrying out the contracts recently let at
the meeting of the board.
A temporary injunction was granted
and the State board was summoned to
show cause why it should not be made
permanent. The contracts which were
recently let were for the text books to be
used in the public schools Of the State
and involves quite large sum. The
contracts while they have been let have
not as yet been signed. The petition is
brought at the instance of the disap-
pointed bidders although it is made out
in the name of a citizen of this State.
The petition for the Injunction claimed
that the contract had not been let &C.
cording to the law and is quite lengthy.
Superintendent of Education o. B.
Martin was seen here tonight and asked
for statement. He said that the con-
tract had been let according to the law
and that the people of the State had been
saved thousands of dollars, under the
new contract.

Mr.. J. r. Parks Killed.

Mr. James T. Parks. formerly owner
and editor of the Orangeburg Patriot,
was Shot and killed in Orangeburg last
Friday morning by R. Il. CoVar. The
men met on the street and Parks struck
Covar, who at once drew pistol and
commenced shooting. Parks returned
the fire, and both men emptied their pis.
tolls nd commenced to reload when they
were stopped by persons who had hurried
to the scene. Parks was hit three times,
and died Friday night. Covar was hit
twice, but is not dangerously wounded.
The trouble grew out of business mat
ters, Mr.. Parks formerly owned the
Patriot and had Covar employed as
printer. Later he was made stock clerk
in the State dispensary, and went to Col.
umbia, editing his paper from there, MI.
Covar being assistant editor. This
proved unsatisfactory, and Mr.. Parks
sold the paper to Messrs. j. d. Funder-
burg and Covar, taking mortgage on
the plant. Evidently Funderburg and
Covar did not get along together and the
paper was about to suspend, so Mr.. Parks
came down and was trying to straighten
out matters. Meeting Covar on the street
he asked him about remarks said to have
been made. Covar replied that he had
made them and Parks struck him and the
shooting begun. Mr.. Parks was buried
at Parksville, Edgefeld county, his old
home, on Sunday. He married Miss
Annie Perryclear, of Gan 2c)urg, q few
years ago, this being his cond marriage.
She and two children and one daughter
by his first marriage, survived him. We
knew Mr.. Parks well, and he was quiet,
peaceable citizen and an honorable man.
Of all men, we had no idea he would
meet violent death.

Justice Swift and Sure.

If any one is thinking of going into the
train robbing business the experience of
the three men who held up Canadian
Pacific train near Kamloops, B. c., should
be sufficient to convince them that Cana
da does not offer an inviting field for
their energies. The train was bel up on
May s. On May 14..the men were captur-
ed and on the 10 had their preliminary
hearing and were committed for trial.
On May % the grand jury returned a true
bill against them and the next day their
trial began. May 80 the jury disagreed,
one socialist, who was opposed to punish.
ing men because they were poor, having
held up verdict of guilty the remaining
eleven were anxious to render. A new
trial was begun next day, and On June 1
the three men accused were found guilty
and sentenced two to five years in the
penitentiary.
twenty-five days elapsed between the
commission of the crime and the day on
which the penitentiary doors changed be-
hind its perpetrators, doomed to spend
the remainder of their days within its
walls. 1t was record of which British
justice has reason to be proud. And it is
one more evidence of the good work of
the northwest mounted police, who never
let up in the search for man whom they
want. Train robbers will hereafter care
fully avoid working at their trade in Can.

LIVE STOCK AND VEHICLES
The Largest Stock i'm this Part
Of the State
Operation for West Point Cadet.

Walter Wilde, the West Point fourth
classman who last fall had his right leg
so badly crushed that when it mended it
was three inches shorter than the other,
will re.enter West Point this fall. To
get back to the academy the cadet has
suffered agonies, allowing the doctors to
rebreak his leg in several places in order
that by weighing it it might be restored
to its normal condition.
Young Wilde, who is one of President
Rcosevelt's personal appointees, entered
West Point in the fall of 1905. In Sep
tember last he was horseback riding
when the horse fell, rolled over him,
crushing him and breaking in several
places the bones of his right leg.
Realizing that it would be impossible to
continue bis military education with such
a handicap, Wilde consulted with mum
Der of eminent surgeons, who finally told
him that if he would submit to very
painful and unusual operation his leg
might possibly be restored to it's proper
length Wilde Immediately consented to
undergo the operation.
Accordingly the young man went to the
Polytechnic Hospital, in Philadelphia,
where the operation was performed. The
bones in the short leg were broken and
Immediately reset This done, the sur.
geons attached very heavy weight to the
leg, by means of rope and pulley. The
limb was then drawn out from the cot and
Wilds was informed that it would have
to remain in that position until the bones
had reknit.
For two months Wilde lay upon his
cot in the Polytechnic with the weight at
tached to his leg. Never once did he com.
plain and his fortitude excited the won.
der and admiration of the surgeons and
nurses. A few days ago the surgeons
examined the leg and told Wilde that his
suffering was at an end.
The weight was removed and Wilde
stood up for the first time in over eight
weeks. His legs were the same length.
Next fall he will re-enter the academy
without any physical defects.

THE GOORALs OF POLAND.
Honest, Hospftable and Brave, bu'
Obstinate and Quafre1some.

Honest, H0spttable and Brave, DuV
Obstinate and Quarrelsome.
The character Of the goorals has
nothing in common with the humble
peasants of the low country. In their
good qualities and faults they rather
resemble the proud noblemen Of Po-
land. They are vivacious, honest, hos
pitable and full Of pride, bravery and
chivalry, on which one may always
count. But their defects are grave.
Obstinacy and quarrels lead them Of
ten to bloody fights, the lack Of thrift
Is frequent among them and superst-
tions haunt them at every step. They
love nature and in their songs praise
their gigantic peaks, spruce forests
and the clouds and rain. They build
their houses facing Tatrs- which they
constantly observe and consult about
weather conditions. A gooral cannot
live without his mountains, and If he
sometimes leaves them homesickness
will soon bring him back.
They are very religious, but their
Christian faith is mixed with old su-
perstitions, and the Roman Catholic
rites are mingled with weird. often
very picturesque, usages which have
their origin in the old Slavonic pagan
ism. So for instance, on St Johns
night Sobotka is celebrated by burning
bonfres on fields and hills and by
dancing, a festivity which in pagan
times was held on the summer solstice
in honor of Syiatovit, the god OF sun,
fire and love.
On Easter holidays from every house
various kinds of food are brought into
the church to be blessed by the priest,
or the priest, accompanied by sexton,
goes to the house, where on long.
white covered table cake, eggs and
venison await his blessing. This is
called swiocone. The table remains
covered with food for a week to await
all friends Of the house that may
come.
The Polish tongue among the noun
taineers has pleasant soft Infections
and their dialect resembles the old Po-
l;sh of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
tury. The picturesque and practical
costume of the goorals consists OF a
coarse linen shirt fastened with brass
brooch; serdak, which is sleeveless
sheepskin jacket of a reddish color
richly decorated with applique orna-
ments Of .colored leather and silk en-
broidery and lined with fur; tight fit
ting trousers Of coarse, whitish, home
made woolen cloth, and a cloak called
tsuha, worn usually over one shoulder.
A black felt hat shaped like mush-
room and soft leather sandals perpce)
complete a costume that weighs from
thirty-fve to thirty-eight pounds, but is
a good protection against cold and the
rain which in these regions is frequent,
for twenty days in a month are at least
drizzly.-W. T. Benda in Century.

is called to the killing in Orangeburg, a

additional fact that the dead. man was
an employee of the State dispensary. We

Evans was overwhelmingly defeated.

The best story Of the season
has only lately come to our ears.
1t seems that one Of our local
nimrods went rabbit hunting a
few days ago when the snow was
on the ground. He took only
twenty-five shells with him and
after shooting twenty-four times
he had not killed a single bun
ME. He knew il would not do
TO go TO town without some game
so he gave some boys a nickel
for a live rabbit. He then tied a
string to the rabbits leg and
tied the other end toa corn stalk,
stepping back about fiteen feet,
he took deliberate aim and fred
the last shell he had. But in
stead Of hitting the rabbit he cut
the string and the rabbit hopped
away winking at him as much as
to say, Better luck next time
'Hoss," OF course we wont tell
his name, but he is a better bar
Der than rabbit hunter. Elk.
