Prospeetors Buried Alive.

Mitchell county, North Carolina,
was the scene of a tragedy last week
when two young prospectors were
buried alive in a mass of earth and
mica in an abandoned mica mine. The
discovery of their predicament was
due solely to the faithfulness of lit
tie dog, which stood guard for three
days at the mouth of the pit. One Of
the entombed men, John English. was
still alive when rescuers came to the
shafts mouth in response to the yeip-
ing of English's dog. The mans face

stricken, her eyes bent on n volume of
smoke that was rolling up from the
sheep dotted pasture. She went Gross

of the old farmhouse, where u knot of
neiShbors. helpless and wondering,
gathered round the pathetically small
pile of rescued household effects.
DoXy WAS not a young woman, but
she was Of the type that time touched
gently. Her eyes We're soft and gray

ANOTHER VIEW

BY request of many of our
readers we reproduce the following
poem which appeared in the Win
field lrrepressible last week.
After reading a card that is
being circulated by the whiskey
people, telling in rhyme the awful
calamities CD that will befall
Charleston if it goes ''dry.' The
lrreprcsibl c poet "got BUSY" and
gives another view of the matter:
or the dreadful calamities that
now are brewing.
Over which the vets only are
stewing.
We will write Il few of these we,v.
heard.
Which are really to us the most
abSureu:
'rhe lights will go out the first of
July,
Just because the town went dry.
The hotels will all be compelled to
close,
You will have to seek the grass
and softly rcpose.
No money for fireman nor police.
Our homes will burn, we will have
no peace.
The travellers all to Huntington will
go,
just because here they can't get
booze You know,
And what Il terrible town it will
be,
When you can't get anything to
drink you See.''
But let us think of the other side.
Which we soon will see with iov
and pride.
The money that goes to buy tho
That makes of a man a brute or
thug,
Will go to make happy home.
From which he will not care to
The saloon mans wife will wear
less silk
But some mans child will have
more milk,
And the mother who waits at the
window ut night
Watching for her boy, by the stars
so bright
What JOY to her Will then be given
When from the town the curses is
driven!
And no matter if we don't have
lights.
The moon still shines some of the
nights
The farmer will find for his grain
ready sale,
1t will go to make bread, instead
Of ale.
And if whiskeS is the grease that
oils the machine,
That keeps the streets at present
clean,
We think more water. and less oil
Less talk and more toll,

lesson-the power of solidarity, of
unity, when battling with your
employers. Alone you are help
less; united, your power is in
vincible.
For the sake of yourselves and
others you strike; if necessary, you
starve.
The working man who helps the
employer to defeat you In this
battle YOU call scab. This poor
creature is more hateful to you
even than the employer who OPP
presses you. The employer at least
is fighting his own battle. The
scab is fighting the battle of the
enemy.
The Socialist party is a political
union. 1t is an International Or
yaniZation with millions of mem
bees. in Russia, Finland, Den

Italy, England, your brothers work
together in almost project political
solidarity.
The Socialist here are endeavor-
ing to build up similar party.
Several hundred thousand work
ingmen now vote togctherpolitical-
ly. They are organized to fight
every battle of the workers, they
want trade union rights, the eight
hour day, the insurance Of work
ingmcd against old age, sickness,
invilidity, accident and unemploy-
ment. They ask for labor, the
full social value Of its toll, they
plead for unity and solidarity
among the workers to the end Of
obtaining the complete cmancipa
ton of labor.
This political union; this party
owned, controlled and financed by
the workers. will have in congress
and in the legislatures their own
official representatives, their own
delee ates.
While Socialists work to achieve
political unity, many workingmen
go to the polls and help the en-
ployerS. They vote for Democrats,
for Republicans. They devide
the workers and render them help
less in this great political battle.
Do you wonder that Socialists are
sometimes bitter when they see
trade unionists, who loathe the
scab at the time Of strike,
vote like a scab at the time of an
electiont
You know what employers do
when a strike is on. They import
scabs, give them big wages, ban
quet. them. They have the po-
lice protect them. They promise
anything to the poor devils.
What do they do when the strike
IS over they throw them into the
