More Wages Demanded-cossacks - Are Powerless--haore Troops
 Sent to Warsaw.

Warsaw, Russia, Aug. 7.-- More than 10000 factory hands in this city are on strike, de- manding higher wages, and the factory owners have locked out an adidtidnal 10000 men, who are willing to work.

 Troops are being rushed from St. Petersburg and the regular Warsaw garrison will be doubled.

While we do not want to butt
in" on Sylva's proposition looking
to the location of the Wake Forest
law school at that place through
the summer months, we will say
that if Wake Forest really wants
an ideal location for their summer
law school they cannot do better
than follow than follow the lead of
the Citadel summer school. We
have room for many more educa-
tional institutions.-Sylvan Valley
News. 1t is not our in 'ention to
enter into a controversy with the
people Of the beautiful town of Bre-
ward, nor will W. at any time make
an attempt to secure for Sylvia any,
thing that that or any other town
is trying to do for itself. 1t is not
the spirit of the Greater Western
North Carolina Association hat we
fight over bones bur that we all
work together for the common good.
Where an ENTERPRISE is seeking a
location in this section it is perfect
ly legitimate that every community
show what it has to offer and then
the promoters of the enterprise may
chose from what has been shown to
them. But where one town initiates
a plan, perfects it and attempts to
put it into practice, no other should
attempt to appropriate the benefits.
The plan of moving the Wake For
est law school to the mountains for
the summer months was conceived
by Mr.. C. c. Buchanan of Sylvia and
he and the other people of this
town have been making an effort to
locate the institution here. In their
efforts they asked the assistance of
the Greater Western North Carolina
Association. The manager of the
Association has been assisting in
the work and the other counties
have lent the movement their in
huence and support. 1t would be
unwise to say the least Of it if Bre-
ward should make any further ef
fort looking to the location of tht
school there. If the people of Tran
sylvania have anything that the,
wish to accomplish. that will be 70
the good of that county we viii
lend them any assistance in ou
power and we ask the same Q
: them.

Sylvia board of trade starts with
the same number of members That
the Brevard Club had when it be-

THE MUNSEY PLAN

Former State Senator Of New

ALBANY, Jan. 23-George w. Cobb
OF Watertown,' formerly a State sena-
tor and Republican floor leader in the
senate, is strong for the Munsey plan
to bring Republicans and Progressives
together in a new party organization
that will be militant and representative
of public opinion.
ct believe there is no insuperable OBJ
stacle to a union" Cobb said. "Repub-
licans and Progressives have too much
in common to stay permanently apart.
It is ridiculous, in my judgment. to
assume that they will.
IF the Progressives will eliminate
one plank from their platform I for
one would be willing to see q reunion
of the two parties tomorrow"
what is the plank to which you re-
fer?" was asked.
."The recall OF judges and judicial
decisions" Cobb replied.
AS a State senator Cobb always
was a progressive Republican. taking
the bosses in the Republican party
were doing all in their power to
thwart the governors plans for pri-
mary and other reforms.

PHILIPPINE GUARD
IN POOR CONDITION
Brig. Gen. Funston Says Cam
paign Of Two Weeks Would
Render Half of 1t Useless.

Half the artillery in the Philippines
would be put out of commission in a
two weeks campaign. according TO
Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston. Many
Of the horses were in the Cuban cam
paign. fourteen years ago.
1T is no exaggeration to say that a
two weeks campaign in actual war,
when but little attention could be paid
to husbsnding the strength of our ami
mails, would put half ou- guns out OF
action and see half our cavalry march
ing on foot or guarding wagon trains. >
he said.
General Funston .aIso regrets the sub
stitution OF Filipino for American team
sters. He believes they would be prac-
tiCally worthless In time of war. Every
where the Filipino drivers have courage
they lack strength, skill and self-con-
fidence. The substitution was made on
the plea OF economy.
