THE SEABOARD WINS.
Supreme Court Dismissed Coast Line
Cheraw Crossing Petition.

Columbia, Sept. 12.-Holding that
the constitutional right given rail-
roads to cross another railroad does
not give the right to railroads to
cross at grade, and stressing the i'm
portance of public safety, the su-
preme court yesterday dismissed the
petition of the Atlantic Coast Line
railway asking that the railroad COM
mission be forced to consider and
approve the plans for an interlocklng
switch for grade crossing over
the tracks of the Seaboard Air Line
railway in the town of Cheraw. The
decision in the case is by Associate
Justice Hydrick.
The ruling by the court ends a
hong controversy between the two
railroads which involved the right
of the Coast Line to cross the tracks
of the Seaboard at Front street in
the town of Cheraw. The contro-
versy was commenced on September
% of last year. The case came be-
fore the supreme court several
Smonths ago and a decision was given
in favor of the Seaboard. 1t was
held by the court at that time that
the Coast Line did not have the right
to cross at Front street.

The Thornwell Orphanage.

The Thornwell Home and School
for Orphans, is the name Of the Pres
byterian Orphanage under the con-
troll of the synods of South Carolina,
Georgia, and Florida, and is one that
hopes to share in the benefit of or
phan-work day. 1t may interest the
readers of this paper to know that
the Orphanage was begun some 81
years ago with a half-dollar, the gift
of an orphan; that it was opened
with four little boys and four little
gils; that it has no agent, neither
are any assessments made for it's
support by the church; nor any days
appointed for collections, being
wholly dependent upon the volun-
tary gifts of benevolent people. 1t
now has sixteen cottage homes, with
some 800 orphans, with ten teach
ers in the schools, with matron in
each cottage. 1t has farm, a shoe
Shop carpenter and machine shop,
a steam laundry and other industrial
departments in which the children
are taught trades. All of the chill
dren do something toward their
support and in the aggregate they
save to the home by this labor, not
less than $4,000. It costs about
sixty dollars a year to provide board
for each pupil. A fine education be-
ginning with the alphabet and end
ing with a college course is open to
them. Surely such an institution IS
worthy of support The pupils in
the homes are mainly from South
Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, but
there are many scattered from New
York to Oklahoma now with us.
sThere is neither local nor denomina-
tional restriction as to reception OF
orphans. Those received however,
must be worthy intelligent orphans,
without means of support. The in
stitution is located in Clinton, S. G..

sPARTANBURG CARMEN STRIKE
Resent Company's Efforts to Prevent
Their Joining Union.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2O.-In SYM
| pathy with the sixteen motormen
and conductors, who were dismissed
from the service of the Spartanburg
Railway, Gas and Electric Company
at a Late hour last night, thirteen
other men quit to-day, leaving in the
employ of the company but six Of
the old men. The company dismiss
ed the men because they refused to
pledge themselves not to affiliate
with the Union of Conductors and
| Motormen. Cars have been operat-
experienced men.
The trouble first arose some time
ago, when several electrical workers
were dismissed because they Joined a
union. At this time the motormen
| and conductors were not organized.
Since then, however, the union men
have daily gained ground and when
the demand that they promise not
| to Join a union was made the crisis
presented itself, which resulted In
| the failure of all the cars to be taken
from the barn on schedule time this
| morning. At first all Of thesmen did
not quit, but gradually, one by one,
those remaining in the employ Of the
company were gained over until but
six are left and union men claim at
late hour tonight that as soon as
these men return from the barn they
will also come over to their side.
At all hours the strikers rode on
| the cars and coerced the men to quit
their jobs. The police were appealed
to to prevent these tactics, but they
claimed that they had no right to
prevent a man from riding on the
car if he paid his fare and could
| not arrest him unless he was disor-
| derly. They held that talking to
the motormen and conductors did
not constitute disorderly conduct.
Crowds of union men, not only
the conductors and motormen, but
all other union sympathizers, gath
cred on the corner and yelled "scab"
| and other such epithets at the men
operating the cars, but at no time
was any violence attempted. On two
occasions cars were delayed by the
men, but the police quickly dispersed
the crowds. No arrests were made
| during the day. Union men were
much incensed when it was asked
that Mayor Lee order any man gull
ty of disorderly conduct to be arrest
ed and held without bail. This May
or Lee denied to a reporter.
BENJAMIN Commons, of New Or
leans, national organizer of the
union, is in the city and is directing
the procedure of the strikers.
A meeting was held this morning
and it was decided to hold a mass
meeting at the theatre tomorrow
evening, to which the public is in
vited, and at which time the posi-
ton of the strikers will be made
clear. AS yet no demands have been
made ON the company and the Of
ficials are not disposed to take back
the fired men.
The sympathy of the entire town
is with the men, it seems, and many
expressions have been heard ind1-
eating that public opinion favors
them. Twice the usual number of
police were on duty to-day.

A Satiric Gem.

This anecdote portraying the bit
ing side of Mark Twain's wit comes
from Little Stories About Marx
Twain" The humorist once asked
a neighbor if he might borrow a set
Of his books.
you're welcome to read them in
my library" replied the neighbor
ungraciously, "but it is my rule nev-
er to let my books leave my house. y
Some weeks later the same neigh
Dor sent over to ask for the loan OF
Mark Twain's lawn-mower.
Certainly" said Mark, 'but since
1 make it a rule never to let 1t leave
my lawn, you will be obliged to use
it there"
