With reference to the North &:
South Carolina railway: This com
rany has an option on the stock of
that company, but has not exercised

day selected the first Monday in Sep
tember. Why they did so they do not
know except for the fact that at
that time of the year most Of the
industrial institutions of the country
are either about to resume operations
or have done SO, and with year of
steady work and good wages as the
prospect the toilers felt more in a
mood to jubilate.
The first celebration in New York
took the form which has been the
accepted one for years, namely, a
parade Of the union forces Of the
city. Following this another fea-
ture, speeches by leading labor ora
tors, was also found on the pro-
gram.
Following the New York outing in
1882, the same organization, encour-
aged by the success Of the first affair,
held another one two years later. The
wage-workers In other parts Of the
country started celebrations OF the
same kind.
In 1886 the American Federation of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and instructed the
delegates to work among their con-
stituents and secure as early as pos
sible legislative approval of it. This
gave the movement its real start.

DISHES FOR TEA.

three quarts of thick, sour milk will
make a sufficient quantity for an
ordinary family. Pour boiling water
into the milk, stirring until the curds
form. Do not let stand too long or it
becomes tough. Drain In a sieve and
season with cream. softened butter
and salt. For those who like the fla
vor few chives cut fine are good
addition.
BIueberry Tea Cake.-This hot cake
is especially good for tea. The cai'e
may be baked in muffin pans, and by
many is preferred in this form. Cream
two tablespoonfuls Of butter, add
cup of sugar, a beaten egg, three
fourths Of cup of milk, two and
half cups Of flour sifted with two and
half teaspoonfuls of baking powoder
and a half teaspoonful of salt At the
last add a cup of blueberries.

remove the skin. Place a layer of
peaches in a pan and sprinkle gener-
ously with sugar; pour half cup of
water over them. Bake until tender
and slightly brown, and serve with
cream.
Georgia Broiled Ham.-Three hours
before the meal, lay the ham In the
following mixture: For two slices
of ham, use two quarts of water, two

fuls Of flour and teaspoonful of salt.

cake dissolved in half a cup of wa
ter, tablespoonful each of lard and

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
so emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, HE carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is q
'softie.'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um.
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. "But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That Is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
1t proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that 1t contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean Is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik.
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine Is caffeine, and If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it Is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that 1t IS
really helpful in whatever 1t is-this
Is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to DeODle who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

FIRST PARADE IN 1882
Knights Of Labor Of New York Inaus-
urated the March, az Celebration
Of the Day, In the Eastern
Metropolis That Year.

YYNLIKE other holidays that are
observed by the American peo-
~ pie, Labor day did not have its
beginning in the commemora-
tion Of any great event in the worlds
history and for that reason there is
considerable doubt as to who was re-
sponsible for Its birth.
There are many who lay claim to
being the originators OF Labor's ma
tional holiday, and there have been
many chronological tables produced
in support of each ones claim. Au-
thorities, however, are almost unani-
mously agreed that the celebration
that has now become one of the ma
tional holidays was given its first
impulse by the Knights Of Labor in
New York in 1882.
Those who took part In this first
movement did not, they say, at that
time dream that what to them was
merely an outing for the toilers OF
the metropolis would in the not dis
tant future assume worldwide proper
tions.
