Desire Russian Methods.
The writer is here describing an
actual occurrence Of less than three
months ago, which shows that this
employer was an advocate Of the open
shop as q means of preventing labor
from obtaining any advantages
through organization, and that his con-
ception Of industrial peace was a con-
dition where the employer Is car ana

dom or justice Of any Of his orders or
methods is banished to industrial. ST.
beria
This man Is not different from other
advocates of the open shop, except that
he may be more loQuacious. They all
mean the same though some conceal
their realsmotives more cleverly than
others.
Despotism for Freedom.
In this connection it Is to be noted
that the entire open shop campaign Is
one Of pretense and deceit. They avow
that, their employees shall have liber-
ty. but their real intention is to de-
prive them of It,
They propose to displace the indus.
trial voice and vote of many men and
to enthrone the arbitrary authority
and despotic will of one man.
They deny the right of individual
workmen to contract with each other
individually, and collectively, but In
sist that each workman shall be free
to contract with his employer upon
the employers terms. .-..
They seek to make the cry OF the
Dollar-vulture stifle the voice. of man
but 1t shall not be. -.
No movement founded upon human
greed, pretense and deceit, can long
succeed.
Organized labor recognizes the open
shop as an old foe in a new disguise,
and will meet 1t fearlessly;~ full of the
confidence inspired by many victories.
Organized governments will continue
to enact laws, restricting the right OF
contract and tending to protect the
units Of humanity from the vandals
Of commercialism. ys4@z..& ::

%. HI. Ellison's Splendid Hostelry is
Again Open to the Public,

On last Wednesday G. H. Ellison,
OF Seneca, opened his new, hotel, The
Oconee Inn. and Is now entertaining
Ia large number OF guests. This ex-
cellent hotel was destroyed by fire
last year, and the public has greatly
missed it, The new hotel, however,
Is superior In every respect to the
|old, the architecture of the building
itself, as we'll as the appointments of
the hotel, being equal to any In the
upper part of South Carolina. The
ONCE manager Is Asa Payne, wen
known to the travelling public by rea-
SON of his long connection with the
New Windsor or Normandie Hotel at
|Greenyille. Mr.. Payne Is ever ready
to look after the comfort and con-
venience of the patrons of the 4Oco-
nee Inn, and he is not only attract
Ing his old friends to this new house,
but is daily adding new ones to the
already long list of friends Of the
|well-known Oconee Inn. Mr.. ELI,
son has enjoyed the best patronage
|of any hotel man in this section ever
since he entered the field as q caterer
to the public, and his reputation has
made his name familiar one to all
who come and go through this terri
tory. The hotel has been newly fur
nished throughout, and is a model of
cleanliness and comfort. Seneca can
Justly boast of one of the best and
handsomest hotels in South Carolina.

VIII OcoTee lose a Citizen?

The Lavonia Times of last week
contained the following paragrsp oh.
which, we hope, does not mean that
Oconee will lose Mr.. Haley as one OF
her citizens: H
"Mr and Mrs. w. s. Haley left on
Wednesday morning for Westmin4
ster, after visit OF several DAYS in
Lavonia. Before leaving Mr.. Haley
bought the store now occupied by ].
f. Marett, possession to be given on
January 1st next. While we did not
hear Mr.. Haley say so, this Is a very
good indication that Lavonia Is to
gain another sp4endid citizen. There
is always room for citizens of Mr..
Haley's type. May his tribe greatly
Increase"

THE oooNEE KNIrrrNG Wills.
Recently Improved--wiu Have New
Machinery and Increased Capital.

The Oconee Knitting Mills have re-
Gently been improved in many ways.
but more particularly In the quality
ana quantity of their products. Sew
eral new machines have been added
to the equipment and radical changes
made In the dye house.
j. +. Roberts, an experienced and
practical mill man from New Eng
land, now has charge OF the mill and
Is systematizing 1t from one end to
the other ON practical milling lines.
One of the greatest improvements
recently: made Is in the dye plant,
which has heretofore been the one
greatest problem with the O. X. Mills,
Not long since Mr.. Walker, repre-
senting the Berlin Aniline Dye Works,
was here In the interest OF his COM
pany, whose dyes the mills are now
using. He Was carrying numerous
samples OF dyed hosiery. selected
from the product of the best mills In
the South. He exhibited them with
great pride as showing what could
be accomplished with his dyes. Upon
seeing the dyed goods now produced
by the ocnnee Knitting Mills, how
ever, he was forced to admit that
not single sample h, was exhibit
Ing could compare wi. "a them. He.
carried away with him number of
samples, which, he said, surpassed
anything b, had been able to find
anywhere, aud in addition to this had
q dozen pairs Of hose shipped to his
home office for exhibition there. At
the changing of the dye plant of the
0. X. Mills it was necessary to throw
out very expensive dyeing outfit,
but In view Of the betterment of the
mills product 1t was thought advisa-
BILE to do this. The present system
is not nearly so elaborate or compli-
Gated, but there is no comparison In,
the results obtained.
Mr.. Roberts Is very hopeful of the
future Of the mill now that it is pro-
posed to increase the capital stock
and add the necessary machinery to
put the mill on a paying basis. It
has heretofore been badly handicap
ped by not having enough machinery
to make the plant paying one. 1t
has only been short while now
since the mill began the manufacture
of half hose, and this new departure
Is also proving success
One of the most gratifying things
to Mr.. Roberts Is the marked i'm
provement in the work of the opera
tives, who, under his careful guild
ance, are fast becoming expert in
their various departments. They are
taking kindly to the new methods
In the mill, and as result the quail
ity of their work has been raised and
at the same time their pay has been
steadily on the advance
The outlook for the mills is much
brighter than for some time past,
and it is thought that SO soon as the
additional capital is put into the
plant, that it will be made to pay
good dividend. Mr.. Roberts seems
to be thoroughly alive to the inter
ests OF the mill, and Is bending every
energy In his efforts to make the O.
X. Mills second to none in the mat
ter of business methods and quality
Of Its products.

procured or a physician summoned. The
right way Is to keep at hand bottle of
