March Term of Court.

The regular spring term Of court
of general sessions convened Mon
day morning. Judge T. H. Spain
of Darlington is presiding, this be
ing his first term at Edge6eld. Ow.
ing to the extremely cold weather
and the almost impossible condi-
tion of the roads several grand and
petit jurors were delayed in reach
ing Edgefeld, therefore no regular
routine work was undertaken until
the afternoon session. Immediately
after converting in the afternoon,
Judge Spain delivered brief charge
to the grand jurors upon their gen.
eral duties, such as pertain to the
schools, roads, public buildings,
county offices, etc, etc. The solicitor
handed out number of indictments
early in the afternoon which were
promptly investigated by the grand
jury.

ney. Charlie Oliphant and Corrie

thrown out of court.
The grand jury found a true bill

Solomon Jones, murder; Luther
Martin, murder and carrying con.
cealed weapon; Jim Hollingsworth,
alias Jim Holloway, assault with
intent to ravish; Matt alias Mar
shall Morgan, murder and carrying
concealed weapon; Wyatt Brunson,
obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses; Oh johnson, assault and
battery with intent to kill, and car
rying concealed weapons; Ned
Daniel, obtaining goods under false
pretenses; Mack Terry, house break-
ing and larceny; Mack Minis, grand

which the struggles have been waged,
amounting in each instance practical
ly to civil war; to the number of hui
man beings TO whom the struggle
meant privation. suffering and losses.
FeudaI Operating System.
Land holding conditions involved
in some mining districts have enabled
the operators to establish what
amounts to a feudal operating system
for the mines. They own vast tracts
of lands, hundreds and even thousands
of square miles in extent on which
the mines are located. The mining
companies own and therefore control
eli roads that traverse the land. They
own the houses in which the miners
live; the villages made up of these
miners; the school houses to which
their children must go for mental
training; the churches which minister
to their spiritual needs; the stores
from which they buy their clothing,
food and other necessities: the post
Offices where they get their mail, mon
ey orders and conduct their crude
banking transactions. Every detail of
mining life is under supervision of the
mine operators through their power of
ownership. In time of strike the mine
operators have the power of eviction
and have forced hundreds of strikers
and their families to seek shelter in
tent colonies, with the constant dan
ger of exposure. There can be no real
freedom under such conditions of in
dustrial tyranny.
I'm addition to problems arising
from feudal ownership of land, the
mine operators have assumed police
power. They employ armed mine
guards to maintain their regulations
and to guard their property. In times
of industrial peace, the mine guards
serve as police and prevent 'undesir-
able persons from trespassing upon
the land of the mining companies The
elastic term trespass has been inter
preted to mean all manner of organic
ing activities. In times of industrial
diputes the mine guards are increased
and more heavily armed. These con-
ditions beget violence and industrial
disputes in many of these districts
are now practically civil war.
Armed Troops Menace.
THE use of armed trops by mine
operators and the power resulting
from ownership of large tracts of con-
tiguous territory and the subversion
of civil government to military rule
are some of the most serious of mod
ern industrial problems. We recon-
mend and urge that the various state
declarations of labor endeavor to Sc
cure legislation prohibiting this brutal
practice which is subversive of all in
dustrial justice and freedom"
Statistical reports show the mem
bership this year to total 2,O2O,671 as
against 1, $4,000 last year. The one
cent assessment fund to defray eX-
penses of the United Hatters and con-
tempt cases shows that of S15,O1S, the
sum of S14,752 has been expended, the
largest item being attorneys fees to
Alton B. Parker for both cases,
amounting to s9.547. Charters issued

HEAVY FIRE LOSS
AT MATHERVILLE
A. R. STEMS General Store Is
Burned to Ground Early
Sunday Morning.
ORIGIN Is A MYSTERY
Books Carrying Only Record of Own

Partially Insured.
Especial to The ArgusO

Matherville, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-The gen.
eral store of A r. Stein. situated in
the main business section of Mather-
vile. was burned to the ground early
Sunday morning. The loss is over
$4,000. which is only partly covered
by insurance.
A passer-by noticed smoke issuing
from the building, notified Mr.. Stein,
and before he arrived the store, which
was a concrete structure, was a mass
of flames. How the fire started is a
mystery, as there was no fire in the
furnace and no one had been in the
building since closing time Saturday
evening.
Had the building been of wood in
stead of concrete, the whole block
would have been destroyed.
No Fire Protection.
Matherville has no fire protection:
The adjoining buildings we're in dan.
ger for some time. One being used
by Schroeder & Caddy as a store
room contained several hundred dol
lars worth of goods, which were car
ried into the street.
The ruins made quite a sight and
attracted visitors from some distance.
The fire was still burning late Sunday
night. Mr.. Stein has not decided
whether he will rebuild the place or
not. The books which contained his
accounts were also destroyed, and
makes the loss much more, as Mr..
Stein had several thousand dollars on
his books and has no other record OF
