been encouraged TO blot out the near-beer traf-

law a failure and Governor Browns veto, re-

THE HARVESTER TRUST.


How thoroughly the trail of the
serpent is over It all" Is illustrated
BY the harvester trust which has re-
Gently been under special investiga-
ton.
The Arkansas authorities have
taken measures to Gust the trust
from that state. and the attorney
general OF Missouri has recently
taken = trip to New York to take
testimony In regard to the alleged
monopoly. The facts brought out so
far indicate that the trust was or
CANNED under the name of the Inter
national Harvester Company Of New
Jersey in 1909. The active promoter
was George W. Perkins, of ]. Pier
pont Morgan & Co. The merger
resulted in q combination Of all the
properties Of the Mccormick Har-
vester Machine company, the Deering
Harvester Machine company with the
Champion, the Plano and the MIL
wsukee Harvester Machine company,
In all representing eighty per cent
OF the business of the country. Other
small concerns have since been
swallowed.
Subsequently another charter was
taken out under the laws of WILSON,
sin. The International Harvester
Company Of America, under the laws
of Wisconsin. has Cyrus H. McCor-
mick as president and Morgan's man
Perkins as director. Perkins is also
director Of the New Jersey corpora
ton. The New Jersey corporation
is the manufacturing concern,
while the other corporation
- the selling agent. Prices are now
uniform. There is no competition.
Prices have been advancing.
Before being defeated for the SEN
ate. Henry W. Hansbrough, OF North
Dakota, said:

ated the average price OF a self-binder

By Peter Power

c. w. Post, president of the Citizens
alliance and known throughout the coun-
try for his rabid anti-union and open
shop views. has new scheme with which
he expects to put labor organizations out
of business and leave the field clear TO
employers associations and trusts. Mr..
Post declares that the labor unions thrive
on publicity. and he proposes that he
and his kind make arrangements with
all newspapers in the country to censor
Post has a bigger Job on his hands than
the czar Of Russia, and a million times
less power.
At the end of the present year it will
be just a decade since the fight began
for the so-called open shop, and at the
forthcoming convention of the American
Federation of Labor, at Toronto, Ont.
some interesting data will be presented
to show the results of the first ten years
struggle. With the exception OF the iron
and steel workers. and possibly one or
two other trades, all the national organ
izations will report increases in member
ships, in the face OF the bitterest oppo-
sition, which, in some cases, is truly
remarkable.
For example, the printers have been
subjected to the most severe contest,
which cost them upward of 100000, but
they came through with an increase in
members, the shorter work day and q
general increase In wages ranging from
rs per cent upward.
The miners were forced to spend the
next highest sum in battling against the
open shop. It cost them over $1,000 900
but here is the unparalleled result: Hours
of labor have been reduced to eight per
day, wages of the poorest paid have ad-
vanced 80 to 100 per cent, and their mem
bership has increased enormously.
The current number of the Amalga-
mated Journal, official organ of the iron,
steel and tinplate workers, contains an
editorial aimed at the United States Steel
corporation that rings with defiance.
The Journal charges that "the entire
open shop program is one Of pretense and
deceit" whose votaries "avow that their
employees shall have liberty, but their real
intention is to deprive them Of it. They
propose to displace the industrial voice
and vote of many men to enthrone the
arbitrary authority and despotic will of
one man" The Journal quotes the cele-
brated utterance OF Lincoln that this
country cannot be part free and part
slave; It must become all free or all

and which will be met and fought fear

In marked contrast to the war OF ex-
termination that is being waged against
the labor organizations by the United
States steel corporation in it's mills and
upon the great lakes is the action Of the
British ShIpbuilding Employers fedora
ton which has fought ale unions Tor
years, and several years ago locked OUT
upward of 10000 men. entailins direct
loss to both sides OF over $1o,0oos00o
The British unions were defeated, sur
rendered. reorganIzed, and with tradi-
| tional tenacity demanded recognition. The
employers federation counted the cost of
the last battle, with the result that few
days ago an agreement was entered into
with the representatives of 26 labor unions
that virtually insures peace for three
years. The agreement provides that no
strike or lockout shall be declared until
every means Of Cancellation shall have
been exhausted in joint conferences, ana
neither side is to demand a change In
working conditions at shorter periods
than six months.
The growing disposition of the British
workman to engage in independent polit-
| icaI action and to vote against employers
candidates tended greatly to bring about
| better feeling.
Although in the second strike Of postal
telegraph and telephone employees In
France the government was credited with

only not been enforced. but European

w. C.. T. q. Notes.

We cannot place too high value
on the formative and educational
phases of the temperance movement
Let us work and pray that there may
come to the church and to the hearts
of our people Christ-like desire to
eradicate this accursed evil from our
land. The only failure that can
come to the Christian reformer is the
failure to- adhere to that which Is
right. Peace, purity, total absti-
nence, and prohibition-on these
four hang all the law, and the
prophets" of the temperance re-
form. The liquor tribe will rage
awhile longer; but God is on His
throne; He has uttered His voice;
the liquor traffic is doomed to de-
struction. The Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is not only anti
saloon, but anti-brewery, anti-distil-
lery, anti any form of alcoholic IL
quor making, or liquor selling, for
beverage purposes.
Shakespeare wrote, "Oh! Thou in
visible spirit of wine, if thou hast no
name to be known by, let us call thee
devil"
AS the eleventh commandment
given US by our Lord and Savior is
applied more fully to the customs of
society and the laws of our land,
this evil spirit in like proportion will
be cast out from the heart and the
home, the community and the nation.

To Move Offices.

Charlotte, N. c., April 20.-There
is no longer any doubt that the gen.
eral Offices of the Southern Power
Company will be moved to Colum-
bia. One of the high officials OF the
company stated tonight that the
step had been decided upon and that
the move would be made within
eight months, outstanding contracts
and obligations making an earlier
change impossible. The reason given
for the move is the fact that Colum-
bia is the logical centre of the cor
poration's developments and there
fore the proper place from which to
direct it's immense interests. 1t is
stated that men are already in the
South Carolina capital making ar
rangements for the transfer. The
change is a heavy blow to Charlotte,
removing as it does a hundred high
salaried men and the prestige the
headquarters of the big concern car
ried to the country at large.

Killed by Jealous Woman.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 20.-Foi-
lowing closely on the heels of an an
nouncement of the approaching mar
riage of Earl P. Adams, popular
actor and stage director Of the Ma
bel Paige Company, now playing In
this city, to Miss Elizabeth Bagley,
Miss Jessie Brown, a well known
young woman, to whom Adams had
been previously engaged, shot and
killed him this afternoon at her
home, where, it is alleged, Adams
went to explain to her the approach
ing marriage to Miss Bagley: Adams
was shot several times by Miss
Brown and died almost instantly. >
Miss Brown was arrested and
placed in the county Jail. One Pc
culiar feature of the case is that Miss
Brown is sister of Miss May BroWn'
who was killed here in 1905 by her
lover, who at the same time shot her
mother, Mrs. Freeman, and Detec-
tive Cahoon.

Indian Still in Jail.

Indian George" or George Deer
horn, as he calls himself, is still In
jail at Gaffney, in default of the $500
bond which was required Of him by
Magistrate Ligon for his appearance
at the next term Of court for this
county. In the meantime John R.
Smith, the proprietor of the carnival
company, has brought suit In New
berry county for claim and delivery
of the two bears which he alleges
Deerhorn stole from him at Blacks
burg also for several other animals,
which Smith claims that he pur-
chased from George or Deerhorn and
which are also in Newberry county.
1t is the opinion of some who are
conversant with the facts in the case
that George has been imposed upon
in the transaction with Smith, and
that if he could be present when the
claim and delivery case is heard his
chance of winning it would be rea-
sonably good.

Kill the Mosquitoes.

1t would be fine idea if city coun-
Gil would purchase few gallons OF
kerosene and pour it in the bitches
which drain the town. 1t Is well
known that stagnant water breeds
mosquitoes, and yet few gallons of
kerosene put into the bitches would
prevent their breeding and add much
to the health of our people to say
nothing of the comfort. We hope
this will be done Immediately, and if
it doesn't do good, we'll pay for the
oil.
While we are about it, let's have
the back lots cleaned up and lime
used in the stables freely and there
by kill out the flies. With the mos
uuitoes and flies put out Of business
largely, our citizens will be more
comfortable and healthy this sum-

Music Festival, April 26 and ~, at
which Nine. Emma Eames, pr1ma-
donna assoluta, perhaps the greatest
of all concert sopranos, will sing, and
Damrosch's New York Symphony Or
chestra will play. In addition, on
Tuesday night, a chorus of two hun
dred will, with the assistance OF no
table soloists, render Rossinls 8
Stabat Mater in English. This chorus
has been releasing for two months
and is in perfect mastery of this won
der music. It will be worth going
hundreds of miles to hear. There Is
no other festival in the South that
will present Nine. Eames and 1t is
the only opportunity to hear her to
be had outside of the big cities OF
the North. Seats for the festival are
now on sale and will be sold in this
place by agent prior to the opening
of the festival. The fact that the
opening concert will be held on the
evening of Decoration day will give
many a. chance to be present. The
prices for the afternoon concert Tues
day will be lower than for the even
ings. Further information will be
furnished upon application to

The Oldest Prohibitionist.

Chicago, April 16.-The eponym
of far-famed Clark street is In town.
He is William o. Clark, Of Dry
Town, Amador county, California;
is the oldest prohibitionist on earth,
being 90 years Of age; has not had
a drink of intoxicating liquor In IS
years, and after trip up and down
his former favorite thoroughfare, re-
marked that mo, it seems to be pref
-ty well irrigated"
Mr.. Clark is visiting his son, H. O..
Clark. He says this Is the first
time he has seen Chicago since they
used to call it Skunk village. His
father, he declares, owned the ter
ritory on both sides of what is now
downtown Clark street, but sold It
long before the big jump In land
values. At prohibition headquarters
he said:
Il signed the pledge Is years ago,
and haven't let a drop pass my lips
from that time to this. l hadn't
been a drinker before that, mind
you. I just signed up because that
was the way my folks had been doing
for six or eight generations. It's my
experience that in order to get real
good prohibitionist, you've got to
start two hundred years back. Get
the right kind of ancestors and pos
terity will take care of itself"
Mr.. Clark attended the meeting of
the Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars in 1869,
which resulted in the formation OF
the national Prohibition party. He
was chairman of the Worlds Tenn
perance congress, which met in Inde-
pendence hall, Philadelphia, in 1876.
While he wasn't battling with the
demon rum" Mr.. Clark was fight
ing Indians. He served in Captain
Sisson's company, Illinois Volun-:
teers, in the Black Hawk war, and
to-day is the only survivor Of that
organization, which contained more
than a hundred men,; Seventy-four
years after the close of that war, he
applied for pension. 1t was grant
ed in May, 1906.
