County Commissioners Meeting.

The first meeting of the board of
county commissioners under the new
arrangement to hold a session once
each month occurred Tuesday. Here
tofore there have been three regular
terms each year on the first Tuesday
of March and August and the second
Tuesday of December. 1t was never
possible to transact all of the business
which came before the board on any
one of these days and this made neces-
sary an adjourned session This was
held when it would be most convenient
for the commissioners to attend. No
one as a general thing knew when they
would be held and the result was con-
fusion to those who had business to
transact before the board. BY this new
arrangement which went into effect
Tuesday meeting will be held on the
first Tuesday of each month with the
exception of December, when the an
nual meeting is held. In this month
the meeting will be held on the sec
ond Tuesday. 1t is expected that this
change will work for the better.

December 30, last year, q committee
called by, your president men who
came from the cotton districts OF the
State, were granted an audience by
Governor Cobb and fairer or more
impartial hearing could not have been
asked for. 1t was claimed by This COM
mittee, and they had papers to prove
their assertions, that the law was not
being enforced as it should lie or as
we had reasons to believe it would be
when it was passed. Mr. Morrison was
present and claimed that the law was
all right and while he did not claim
that the children were all out of the
mills ne thought that given time he
could bring about the desired re-
suits.
The State Federation is the only
body that has really done any active
work in helping the inspector perform
his duties during the last year, and
l hope they will continue to press this
matter until Tie children are in school
where they belong.
Under the head of union label, gen.
tlemen, comes one of the two weapons
that the trade unionist has to battle
with. The union label wherever found
guarantees us that we are buying
goods that are produced by men, who
like ourselves. are striving for better
conditions and better life. A truth
that the trade unionist must learn is
that dollar counts in business and
every dollar withheld from the manu-
facturer who does not put the label
on his goods means a blow struck
against the non-uniOn shop. A union
dollar spent for principle in a hammer
that has driven the truth home to
many an unfair employer, and the
union mans dollar is coming more in
to evidence every day
The unicnizing of shop may be
more readily accomplished by with
holding your patronage than in any
Other way Demand the label on all
goods and court injunctions will sever
harm our movement.
The State has not had any strikes
during the last year but what have
been quickly and amicably adjusted.
There have been Il number of demands
for an increase in wages in different
sections and Il large majority have had
their demands granted without any
+rouble occurring. In many cases
where the men have lost in their de-
maEds are found good examples Of
where better organization and a high
rr due system would have won for
them.
Following this came tic report of
Arthur J.. Brown Of Augusta, secre-
tary treasurer Of the State Federation.
His report was referred to the proper
committee.

REPUBLICANS "GOLDBRICKED'

1t is no secret that President Roosevelt was d~isappointe
: over the nomination Of Mr.. James s Sherman as the re
publican candidate for vice-president.
The surprising thing is that the New York Sun doe
B. not like Mr.. Sherman either.
That newspaper has been jumping all over Mr. Roosse
welt and his policies, and it dislikes Mr.. Bryan just as much
50 that it appeared to be fair to suppose that it would INC
the vce-presidential nominee a man after its own heart.
It is evident, however, that Mr., Sherman does not
1t is evident, however, that Mr.. Sherman does moi
belong to the Republican faction in New York politics
that the Sun can stomach, hence its following editorial
reference to the nominee:
Jim Sherman, the nonintee for the vce-presidency,
has been identified long and ~proftably with those elements
OF indecency and corruption which have brought the Re
publican party in this state to it's present deplorable pass.
1t can be said at best, that the convention made a stupid
choice. 1t might have taken Odell!
All the same Sherman will get a good large vote IN
his state. He has the, for him, inestinable advantage
of being little known.
lis nomination is chiefly important in pointing out
to Mr. Taft the supreme Importance Of taking care Of his
health.
1t occurs to us as possible that Mr.. Sherman may owe
his preferment, in some appreciable degree, to the com
plfments in respect of him which it has been this papers
pleasure and duty to bestow.
1t was supposed that although Mr.. Sherman was not
well known by the delegates outside of hi home state, and
that the little that had been heard about him was far from
complimentary that he had an extensive acquaintanceship
at home, but the Sun says he may get a good vote in New
York state because he is little known there.
As the Miner has remarked before, any candidate
who has the q~ualifcatid Endorsement of Speaker Cannon
should be viewed with the utmost suspicion by the rest of
the people.
Uncle Joe" rushed to the platform to second Mr.
oherman's nomination. and that was really one of the jokes
ot the convention, for Mr.. Cannon was not a delegate from
his own state.
He could not resist the temptation however, to get
n a few words for his friend, who has helped him so ma
in killing off President Roosevelts policies in the
house.
The only excuse that was offered for nominating Mr..
ohreman was that he had great strength in the east, but
t now appears he has no standing there, so it is evident
hat the Republicans of the west have been thoroughly
'goldbr1cked" all around-Butte Miner.

THE COLORED wPACK-HORSE

Every four years, as Mr.. Bryan points out, the colored
voters OF the country become the object of the thoughtful
solicitude on the part of the Republicans, as far as their
national platform is concerned.
This has been the case ever since the war, and the
unfortunate negro has been a continued victim of breach
of confidence.
Years ago. when Beneral Malone was running for
governor Of Virginia, a clever colored orator made a great
hit by illustrating this point very clearly.
lie said that he dreamed that he was dead and was
winding his way up to the pearly gate. when. he met the
general coming down, and the latter stopped and asked
the man of color where he was going.
The negro replied that he was on his way to heaven.
Mr., Malone informed him that ST. Peter would not
let hum IN because he had tried to get in himself, and the
guardian of the gate had asked hin if he were mounted
and upon learning that he was not, declined to admit him.
The general and the colored man conferred for some
time over their predicament, when the famous politician
suggested that if the colored brother would let him ride
him UP to the gate, ST Peter would be sure to let them both
III.
This plan Of campaign was agreed to and the general
soon rode UP to the gate on the back of the negro.
After duly knocking for admission, ST. Peter asked
the general if he were mounted, and being answered in the
affirmative ST. Peter said, Then hitch your horse and come
in
The Republican party has long used the co1ored voter
TO ride into office on, but when safely landed, the colored
brother IS invariably found hiched outside in the cold. j
It looks at last as though the negroes of the United !,
States had become tired Of being made into political pack !,
horses by the Republican leaders. .
