The first peep of dawn on Monday
found the haky snow falling; and it
fell on, on, till noon. We seldom have
such u murky, inclement day in this
latitude Providence seemed determin
ed to test the metal" Of our people.
And bravely, nobly, did they pass
muster" From Catawba they came;
from Broad River they came; from AL
lison Creek and Blue Water; from
Brattonsville, Kings Mountain; from
all quarters of the district, they came,
they came, they came. The MINUTE
MEN came with their rosettes and
buttons: and the old men-the Grays-
they came with the snow on their long
beards-both alike evidencing the
warm hearts that beat in their bosoms
hearts that the bleakest weather can
not dull A liberty pole went up in
the morning amid the shouts of the
multitude. The meeting was opened;
Chestnut spoke-Hayne spoke; and as
the patriotic and heroic sentiment fell
from their lips the frequent and pro-
longed hu2zahs with which they were
greeted bespoke the preparations of
our people for the great and solemn is
sue Of secession. Let the state depend
upon it, York will remember her an

officers of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Co. declare the strike is over
that the thousands of men still ready
to fight are being duped by the United
Mine Workers of America - and
whole columns in Trinidad newspa-
pers, which are recognized as COM
pany organs, are filled with advice
to the strikers to go back to work.
The union men, however, still tell
me that they are as determined as
ever and that they believe the prin-
pies for which they went on strike
will yet win.
"The 'scabs' in the mines want
to come and join u.s. they say.
''The companies are treating the
strike-breakers even worse than they
treated us and lots of them can hard
ly live. If there's another fight you
will see lots of scabs coming to

was told by prominent company
official in Pueblo that the strike, even
though it has apparently been stran-
gled for time, has almost irrepara-
bly, injured the business of the mines.

be tied up again and other states

1t is evident to me that the strike is
not settled, and that, unless all the
strikers are deported from the dis
trict, or without some agreement be-
tween operators and miners, it never

nave been too strict In barring strike
breakers.
In spite of criticisms, however, the
troopers have gone about their bust
ness. They have closed the saloons
of the district and kept them closed,
so that drunkenness is no longer
common sight on the streets of the
mine camp. They have prevented
trouble between the factions, and,
while strikers have been allowed to-
rebuild their burned and looted tent
colonies, the companies also have
been permitted to operate their
mines.
Some hundreds of men are under
indictment in various parts of the
state for their part in the battles last
April All of them, of course, are
strikers or strike sympathizers. "A
farcical court-martial in Denver last
June quickly exonerated the militia
officers and men who took part in
the Ludlow battle, when seven men
killed. A grand jury is sitting now at
Walsenburg and some 80 miners are
on trial at Canon City, most of them
charged with murder.
One of the objects of the states
military preparations is to try to con-
vict the hundreds of strikers charged
with taking part in the war last
spring.
Sentiment is still more sharply di
vided than it was a year ago, when
the strike started, and every citizen
of the mining district is on one side
or the other. In November ]. E.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Alb 0
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
Of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis Of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Brights disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a Kidney
remedy is DR.. kilmer's Swamp-R Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon re-
allied, according to sworn staten ents
and verified testimony of those who
have used this remedy.
Ii you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish n sample bottle,
write to Dr.. kilmer & Co, Binghamp-
ton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose
ten cents and they will gladly forward
it to you by Parcel Post.
Swatnp-R Root is sold by every drug
gist in bottles of two sizess SOC and

HOGS FOR COTTON IN ALABAMA
AND MISSISSIPPI.

-Four measures are being recommend
ed by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture TO the farmers of the South IN
order to remedy the conditions created
BY the collapse Of the cotton market.
These are:
i. The reduction Of expenses by the
production Of more food for the family
and more grain and forage for the live
stock.
2. The substitution Of other money
crops for part Of the cotton acreage.
3. The raising Of more live stock.
4. The addition of humus TO the soil
in order to make fertilizer less expen-
, siYe.
The first thing to be done, say the
Government specialists, Is to plant
winter crops to be used partly for win
ter and spring grazing. partly for
spa'Hg hay and grain and partly for
cover crops to be turned back into the
soil for fertiIiAi1g purposes. These
crops should include oats for grain, and
oats, barley, or rye for hay, and any
s1G If these for winter and spring
grazing Or TOT the hnnus value, AL
though October and November srg the
best months for planting these crops in
the e0tt9n country, the time may be
extended INTO the winter. The winter
crops should be followed by summer
legumes such as cowpess. clover, etc.
Fall and winter vegetables should be
Fi41!el for home use and for the mar
ket.
Hogs arc recommended as the best
form of live stock to grow. lmmedi-
ate steps should be taken to increase
the profits from hogs and hog products
by the planting Of crops for wintar and
sprIug grazing. to be followed by sum-
and fall crops for the same pur-
pose. Growers are also being warned
to take rigid precautions against chol-
era, II strict quarantine measures are
and II thu animals, when
threatened, ara inocuiated with anti
log cholera serum, growers should suf-
fer little loss from this source.
In Alabama and Mississippi attention
= called particularly to the possibilities
If ouss. They can be grown with a
minimum amount Of labor, can be used
- a grazing crop in the winter, will
reduce the feed bill the follow
ng summer, and any surplus can be
marketed. An instance is CIV
n Of a Mississippi farmer who raised
-, i40 bushels Of oat, on 800 acres and
