the labor question, which have been
advanced in recent years, the labor
situation this year is perhaps more
discouraging and confused than it has
ever been. The unsettled conditions
are due partly to the MULTIPLICATION Of
the farm labor contract law by Judge
Brawley's decision, and the full ef-
feet Of the decision may not yet have
been felt. However, irrespective Of
this phase Of the situation, the labor
conditions appear to be growing worse
from the absolute Indifference to
work on the part of the negroes.
During the last week, while the
Court of General Sessions has been
trying cases in which negroes have
been chiefly the defendants, there
has been present each day in the
Richland Court House, a large ma
,lority of them being able bodied men.
or course, not a few of these were
witnesses present under the order Of
the Court, but that does not account
for the ability of so large a number
of the laboring class to spend day af-
ter day in idlencss.

CYCLONE AND HAILSTORM
IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY.

Orangeburg, June 10.--For the
first time in many years Orangeburg
county was visited by a genuine cy.
clone late yesterday afternoon. The
damage so far reported was on the
Limestone road, about three miles
north of the city, where damage was
done by hail as we'll as wind.
Jennings & Smoak of this city, who
own large plantation in this sec
ton, had just about completed large
ginnery consisting of three buildings
and also six-room dwelling for their
overseer and store building, all of
which were razed to the ground or
blown for long distances. Parts of
the roofing were found more than
half mile distant. Fortunately none
of the buildings we're occupied and
there was no loss of life. jennings G.
Smoak estimate damage to buildings
at $500.
just above Jennings & Smoak the
barns Of Mr.. D. J. Holiday were
blown down and in one instance part
of one building was blown into the
rear of the dwelling, breaking through
the walls. On the plantations of
Messrs. J. w. and Hampton Cutler
barns were blown down and consider
able damage done.
In addition to these, several neg
roes lost their dwellings or outbuild-
ings, the area reported covering a
strip about a half mile wide and
about two miles long. Of course, as
is usual with cyclones and tornadoes,
the whole Of this area was not devas-
tated, the storm dipping in spots and
skipping others.

How to Get Pure Milk,

A very important article of the
month is "Rochcster's Pure milk
Campaign" by Samuel Hopkins in
the June McClure's. in which Adams
describes Rochester's pure milk cam
paign that began ten years ago and
resulted last year, with its municipal
supply of pure milk, in the saving Of
the lives Of one hundred and fifty
children under five years Of age,
at cost to the City Of Rochester, Of
about seven dollars and a half per
human life.
"It is cheaper price for that
commodity than any economic statis-
tician (sincc Malthus) has vcntured
t" set. TO preserve life at so insign-
ficant m expense is perhaps the most
expert specific achievement Of mod
ern hygiene. In establishing such a
standard Rochester has set an exam
pie for other communities to ponder,
to take pattern by, as in time all our
cities must, to improve upon as, hap
PLY, some Of our cities in the full
mess Of time may:
"Thc life saving is accomplished
by furnishing pure milk. Not steriliz-
ed milk: not pasteurized milk; not
any kind of othedwise-ized, baked,
boiled or metamorphosed milk at all,
but just pure, clean milk furnished
to young children in place Of foul,
diseased, poisoned milk' And Mr..
Adams tells in his instructive article
how the Rochester system was evolv-
ed, and gives figures and statements
that graphically prove how simple
problem is pure mill<--and a munich
pal supply, at that, whor a Health
Bureau goes at the problem in the
right manner. That the Importance Of
Rochcstcr's success is recognized
. widely is shown by the facts that
technical points are being widely
! furnished in response to requests by
, The Rochester Health Bureau, which
; has already become Il radiating edu-
cational Influence. and at the present
; time the Rochester plan seems likely
to be followed by other cities.

HEAVY HAIL STORM
Through State-Crops Are Badly
Damaged and Property Destroy
ed-Heavy Winds and Rains
The State.

The State.
Harvin, June 10.-For more than
one-half hour this afternoon, COM
mencing something after d o'clock,
the largest hailstorm know to the old
est inhabitant visited this section, to-
tally destroying crops in its path. Ac-
companying this hailstorm was con-
siderable wind and the heaviest rain
since the big rains of 1906. The sun
has be9n shining for nearly an hour
since the hail ceased falling and there
are hailstones on the ground two in
ches in diameter. Your correspondent
saw hailstoues that would weigh over
a third Of a pound.
This section was visited on July &c,
1906, by servere wind and destr,e-
tive hailstorm, which caused the
planters to loose heavily, from which
they have never recovered, and now
to be visited again so soon after by
similar catastrophe makes it all the
worse for the farmers. Many far
mers had some hail insurance, but so
many of them, the. poorer and more
needy, are without hail insurance or
anything else.
Poultry passing from one building
to another, distance Of only 20 feet,
was instantly killed. The corn crop
IS in worse fix than the cotton crop.
The farmers are indeed gloomy and
the outlook is desperate. There is not
enough cotton seed in the county to
plant over one-twenty-fifth Of the
area destroyed.

Cloudburst In Bamberg.

Bamberg, June 10.-Reports COM
ing in here today from the Colston
section Of the county indicate that an
other cloudburst was experienced in
that section yesterday afternoon.
This is the second within n month,
and the planters say that there will
be very short crop in that neigh
borhood this Year; this applies to cot
ton and especially to the corn crop.

WOMEN AT WAR WITH TRUSTS
Advance in Price Of Cotton Thread
Arouse their Ire.

news and Courier.
Columbia, June 9.--It would seem
to be all off with the trusts now, for
sure. And all because Of their own
greed.
The women are aroused, and while
this is not woman's suffrage coun-
try still it is we'll known that the
hand that scws the clothes and darns
up the tears rules the world.
"Thc horrible things! I never
heard Of such an outrageous piece of
business! II istoo disgusting for any
thin"! And I don't see how we can
possible make ends meet now at all !"
Such is the lament which has be-
come familiar song to the ears Of
Woodworking husbands during the
last few weeks. Not that the horrid
beef trust has again raised the price
of meat or that the electric light bill
is again showed up as dividend time
approaches. No, it is something
much more heinous than anything yet
known to trust ridden humanity. Tt
is that the thread trust has raised
the price Of thread. Think of it!
Clark's @. N. r. spool cotton, which
from time immemorial has been sold
for five cents per spool is now sold
for six cents per spool Isn't it the
most outra"eons thing you ever
dreamed of? The retailers lIave
caught thunder since the raise was
ordered few weeks ago, although
the retailers are not responsible. But
it is simply too much for the house
wives, especially as "fruit of the
loom' and other grades Of cotton
goods are also selling now for the
highest prices they have ever brought.
The advance Of one cent on every
spool Of cotton means a tremendous
increase in the income Of the thread
trust and it means also tax on the
consumers Of this country that will
amount to heavy burden in the
course Of one year. The advance may
ho justified by the cost Of labor or
Of raw material. but facts are facts.
and there is no doubt that this in
crease Of price on this small article
places heavy burden on the common
people and once more brings the trust
nroblcm home to every man, woman
and child in the country. The trust
problem, it may be remarked, may
be synonomous with the problem OF
living or Of making living, for as it
affects the individual, the trust pro-
blem is the problem Of the constant
lv increasing prices Of the necessities
Of life. It is a problem which affects
most seriously the wage Garner and
the salary Garner, who receive the
same pay week in and week out, re-
gardless Of the cost Of thread.
The rise in the price Of cotton ma
terials, such as cotton cloth and cot.
ton thread, should correspond with a
rise in the price Of raw cotton. It
would seem that the situation is fav-
orablc for the organization Of n trust
among the rnttnn growers. although
attempts to do this have mci with
some degree Of ridiculc and discour-
a"cmrnt from many sources. But
even if the price Of raw cotton should
continue to advance this fall, from
natural or unnatural causes. will It
benefit the cotton grower Gs much as
il .;hnuld? What about the cost Of
