Triumph of Mutes.

1t was but the other day when the
triumph of the deaf and dumb faced
me. 1t was ship just starting from
Southampton to Canada. You know
the unheard shouts during the last
hour from the shore. There were two
men, deaf and dumb, talking quietly
with their fingers to the brother on
land, who could reply. They were the
only three that could talk freely
among the unheard tumult.-London

THREATENED STRIKE DANGER,
FRESH TROUBLE BREAKS OUT
AT BROGON MILLS, ANDER-

Shots Fired at Workers from Outside

Mill Mcn-SIicrilf Makes Little
Progress in Securing Information.

Anderson, Nov. 6.-Trouble of q
serious nature has broken out afrcsh
tonight at the RrogOn mills, which
have been closed for nine weeks,
owing to strike among the opera
tives and the situation has become
tense. At o'clock the surrounding
community was startled by fusllade
If pistol shots from the vicinity of
the mills, accompanied by the blowing
of distress calls on the mill whistles
and a general bedlam Of noise from
the throats Of seemingly several hun
dred people.
The sheriff and others responded
TO the call, but as yet little progress
has been made in arriving 1T the facts
in the situation. People en- the out
side of the mill claim that party ot
six Workmch who were brought here
several days ago to load cloth and
who have been quartercd in the mill
building since did the firing from the
inside of the mill, and the workmen
claim that squad of those on the
outside concealed themselves in the
grass and opened fire upon them
through the windows OF the mill.
The WOrkmCn admit that they re-
turned the fire and then blew the
Whistles for help. The grounds for
q vide distance about the mills are
ratr2lled by pickets and no one is
allowed near the buildings. 1t is i'm
possible to get one word out Of those
on the outside of the mills. WnisKcy
appears to be flowing freely and fire
arms are in evidence. There is g
general feeling of anxiety throughout
the city and the public is awaiting
results.
The sheriff has been in communi.
cation with the governor but as Het
nothing has been said about militia

accord within close proximity to the

Dancing.

(From the Woman's Home Companion)
There are many good men and
women who disapprove of dancing,
and who have especially deplored
the tendency shown in the early
dancing of the tango, the make,
and other modern dances. The
fact remains that young folks, in
nocent, wholesome, fun-loving
young folks, dance, and always
have danced, in great numbers.
Disapproval will not prevent their
dancing, but sympathetic under
standing and tolerance will GER
tainly keep the amusement as in
nocent and wholesome as are the
young folks who enjoy it. The
dance has been IN all ages and all
lands the fullest, freest, most
natural form of recreation. 1t will
continue to be so long as men and
women are young, and life is good.
The part of wisdom for those who
have the interests of young people
at heart is not to oppose the dance,
but to encourage it; not to drive it
into halls and clubs of questiona-
BILE influence, but to invite it into
the home; to tear away from it ct
once all that is undesirable in its
surroundings, and SO gradually to
elevate its character and broaden
its appeal. We shall one day
have folk dancing in America, and
the dances of our grandmothers. as
we'll as the dances of today. When
that time comes, and all the fami-
| lY dances, we shall have more
health, more happiness, and far
more wholesome social life.
