 Abbeville Times: The strike situation in Birmingham presents a critical situa- tion It is the same old tale-capital wants labor as cheap as possible and labor wants all they can get for their work. The chances are that each side are unreasonable in their demands. Chaos and strife reigns during the existence of strike and it would be much better for all concerned if these disputes could be settled by arbitration and avoid these strike conflicts.

A NEWSPAPER BARD.

He trilled about his troubles
 And bout his lady love; About the trees and flowers
 And heavens light above. His harp it sounded sweetly-
 Full mellow were the strings On all the joys of living
 And life's recurrent springs. Forsooth he warbled blithely
 Until his songs ran out, And then he pondered wildly
 For themes to sing about. The muses all felt sorry
 To see him in such pain, And so they whispered gently,
 Sing the old songs OCT again" The bard felt much encouraged He lost his late distress And now he's the worst repeater That ever lived, I guess!

Teams Clash on Sunday.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, July 21-(Spe-
cialD-The game of bali Sunday be-
tween the Whiting Shamrocks and the
Indiana Harbor team almost developed
into a riot.
In the third inning the score stood 8
to in favor of Whiting. The home
team had one man on first and Calvin,
the Harbor catcher. was at bat.
The Shamrock pitcher threw a shoot
which Calvin tried to dodge but wasn't
quick enough and the result was he
got in on the head. The umpire or
dered the batter to take first and then
the trouble started. Whiting wouldn't
stand for the decision, although Cal

Hot Springs, Va. July 18.-Judge
Taft is making rapid progress in per
fecting his speech of acceptance. He
was at work early today and continued
until he left for the golf links. He has
made a very thorough revision of his
speech, but will consider its language
further and consult with some of his
friends before placing his stamp Of
approval on it.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Ore
gon arrived here today. He said that
his purpose was to try the golf links
ard recuperate his health. Senator
Bourne, before the Chicago convention
was held. conducted a strenuous cam
paign for the purpose of bringing
about the denomination of President
Roosevelt.
II knew the golf was good here be-
cause Taft chose it. and l demanded
the best golfng," artlessly remarked
Senator Bourne There is no politics
in my visit; simply golf. I hope to
play Mr.. Taft"
Later Senator Bourne remembered
that he had some political ideas and
vigorously asserted that his suggested
plank against a president naming his
successor would be an Issue OF the

Fairview. Lincoln, Neb, July 20
According to democratic leaders who
have been to Fairview and conferred
with Mr.. Bryan, the ability Of the
democratic party to obtain the negro
vote in Ohio will depend largely on
the attitude of Senator Foraker. So
long as he remains outside the repu5-
Dcan breastworks, at least as regards
Judge Taft, the democrats feel assured
of large negro support in that state.
Holding as they do, the balance Of
political power, there being something
like 10000 of them, the negroes in the
Ohio campaign will be a most import
ant factor. Should, however. Senator
Foraker become reconciled and lend his
support to Taft, it is believed that
there is little probability of enrolling
sufficient number of negro voters IN
the cause of democracy materially 70
