March of Progress.

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn, Jan.
II. The fact that the great Southern
Railroad, which is now being built
from the town of Stevenson, Ala, to
Chattanooga, distance of forty-fv
miles, connecting their line straight
through from Chattanooga to Mem

now coming to light. Since dirt was
broken on this line there have been
fifteen new buildings erected in the
corporate limits and equally as many
in the suburbs. Two new business
houses have been finished and work is
progressing on three more. The
freight depot is now twice as large as
before. A brand new industry, the
Modern Building & Material Compan-
y, is doing an immense business. The
H. Wetter Manufacturing Company
has erected as an addition to their al
ready mammoth plant, a stove plant
with an immense capacity. c. D.
Faris & Co., the lumber magnates, are
finishing up one of the largest planning
mills in the South and when completed
they will be able to supply the market
with all kinds and any amount Of
dressed lumber.
The city has purchased the electric
light plant which it has put into thor
ough repair and at an early date it will
be in full operation. A light is being
placed on every corner.
A stir is now prevailing among real
estate men and the price of land has
advanced to an enormous price com
pared with what it was two months
ago.
The furnaces of the T. c. I. & R.
R. Co., have been closed down for two
months, but news comes that it is thu
intention of the corporation to star
them in a short time. The H. Wette,
Manufacturing Company will start VI

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas God in His providence has
taken from our Lodge, the Church, the
community and from the bosom of his
family, our brother, Walter Walsh,
and whereas he, having lived so as to
leave an impress for good on those who
knew him; and whereas he was devot-
ed husband, a faithful knight and a
true Christian; therefore be it
Resolved 1. That we bow in hum
BILE submission to Him who doeth all
things well, knowing that our loss is
Brother Walsh's gain.
2. That we feel deeply our loss,
and will treasure the remembrance of
his life and example as a precious her
itage.
3. That, as Lodge, we extend to
his bereaved family our deepest sym
pathy and pray that this dispensation
of providence be sanctified to their
good, both in time and eternity.
A. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished the family of our deceas-
ed brother, and also copies be sent to
the Statesman Democrat and Sequachee
Valley News for publication. Also be
spread upon the minutes of the Lodge.

Local union, 287, met in regular
session Saturday. There was large
crowd in attendance. The union men
here seem determined to win the fight.
They are in for their rights. Will say
to the non-union boys that what is to
our benefit is theirs. We only want
what is due US as laboring people. That
is right to contract to work by.
We, as free people, claim that we have
a right to be a party to the contract
we work by. I have worked at non
union camps and know the kinds of
contracts they have. The company
draws up the contract to their own
liking and the men are asked to sign
it before they get job of work, SO
you see, you have no say in any part
of the contract. OF course the COM
pany has right to run their own bus
mess but you have right to know
what you are going to get for the Ia
Dor you perform and what sort of con-
ditions you are going to work under.
The operators are organized, the farm
ers have their associations, the doctors
and merchants have theirs, and why
not the laboring manP Haven't they
the same rights their employer has
Are they not as free people as the mil
lionaire OF must they submit to wha
their employer says and give then
their labor for pittance Suppos'
the union is knocked out of existanc'
then what will the laboring man ge
for his workH l remember working
for a man on the farm once and anoth
er man came and proposed to do tn
work cheaper than l was doing it, an
so the man gave himethe work and
was out of job, and it was too late t
get regular job so had to get wor
here and there for a while, but tn
farmer came to me after a month or
and said he wanted me to go back I
work for him, that he could not depen
on the man he had taken in, and ths
he could not get his work done, so 20
see he did not like scab labor. 1t we
not what he thought it was. The OF
orators will see after while that sea
labor is not what they want. The
can't get the coal with it, and wi
cali for the men who can get the COZ
for them, and want them to go bac
and work for them but it will take tt
operators longer than it took the farm
= er because they have more money
spend than the farmer had.

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

Suppose l were to tell you, Mr.. Ed
itor that your paper has more friends
in these diggins than any other
would you believe it. Well such is
the fact. People over in Middle Ten
nessee have heard of the Sequachee
News and say they want it. One reas-
on it is liked so well, it's paper OF
a liberality and exceedingly broad. A
paper of the people and for the people
and by the people. Ali have chance
to have their say on any subject rela-
tive to the welfare of many, paper OF
pro and con make up. No one-slded
thing, no narrow contractedness ana
very democratic-broad as Metho-
dist platform. Most all other papers
published are one sided in makeup,
narrow in views and selfish of space,
so much so that no one can enter their
columns with any sort of hope that
their communications won't land in
the waste basket, if it disagrees with
the editor in chief. Such papers are
nursery for toadyism and keep alive
the old idea that editors, preachers
and politians must do all the thinking
for the rest of mankind Is it not
fact that nine-t -tenths Of the people are
shut off from any voice in public
affairs ard the blame rests with the
press, pulpit and politiciansH What
voice has the commonality in anything
for the general goodf How many pa
pers and pulpits are open to the peopleY
Very few.
Well, like Joe Peters from Crackers
Neck, the people are wanting to get in
the band wagon and ride some and not
be eternally paying to see other folks
ride. They want to hear what their
own class has to say about matters
They want their views and ideas. They
have heard all their life what Mr.. Ed
itor, Mr.. Preacher and Mr.. Politician
has had to say and their sayings are
very stale and actually have become
nauseating. The views of each other
are fresher, more of a reality and their
ideas richer and sweeter and better
calculated too inspire and help one an
other. That is why the News is sought
after and | trust all its friends will
carefully read what Uncle Gid has said
on the subject and try to support the
News with all their power. The fact
is the paper is their very own and the
matter contained in its columns is the
production of their own brain, and moi
the editors. He, in his generousness
has suffered us to crowd him out ant
his space is given to US, and do thinl
all contributors should use extreme ex
ertion to help build up the News unit
it grows to corpulent proportions. Ev
erybody's paper, Democrat, Republi
can, Union, on-Union, Sectarian
non-Sectarian every boy and girl, gee
whiz. the cat and the house dog, al
can have say, and the old billy goa
can butt in at pleasure.
Well, Uncle Gid is nosing around il
other papers, but he kinder likes tn
| News people and hopes through tn
coming year to have a jolly good tim
with them. am not stranger t
such families, having had a good tim
\ among the Sunny South Household fo
quite while under the nom de plum

now on wei have some fun.
