The soldiers assist in removing the

mill owners have no worry, no ex-
pense they do not even have to hear
the cries of anguish or curses Of the
poor wretches that are rudely de-
prived Of shelter for their wives and
babies. The obliging state OF South
Carolina pays for all the trouble
if a striker curses. the soldiers lead
him into limbo, and the magistrate
puts him under heavy bond. The
wheels of machinery of the State

ty into dust, and the Northern mill
owners are getting fine idea OF the
chiyalrous South.
But would the South be just as chiV-
aIrous if it had to defend poverty, in
stead Of capital? That is the Ques-
ton asked daily, the question that goes
from mouth to mouth, whispered by
the citizens whose civil authority has
been superseded by bayonets. To speak
too loud ones opinion in Anderson
just now seems mighty dangerous.
Might rules here, and militarism. The
question Of right, however, is debat-

ed to give The Intelligencer' readers
view of the operatives side Of the
case and help to better understand
ing of the situation:
Will you kindly allow me a small
space in your valuable paper con-
cerning the strike at the Equinox
mills and the calling out of the state
militia. This act was uncalled for
as I see things, for this reason:
when the soldiers came here they
asked what did they want them to do,
there was no fighting going on, some
of them said they had been told be-
for they reached Anderson, that We,
the strikers, was rioting and had
blown up half of the mill

18th that on last Friday morning that
we people was keeping up SO much
disturbance at the mill that it was
dangerous for anybody to come
around the place. want to say has
any one been hurt during the time
we have been on strike at the Equi-
no1 mill?
These false reports have been go
ing in to Gov. Mannings Office for
some time and the only thing l can
blame him for is this; why didn't he
come to Anderson and see for him
self just how things was and then
he would have known best what to
do. The only thing that has caused
any excitement at all was on last
Friday morning when the slipped in
eight or nine scabs just as they did at
the Brogon mills last year. There
was one fellow came out with his
toolbox and l asked him what they
were doing, and he told me that they
were not doing anything but sitting
around in the mill.
Now, these scabs were just taken
in the mill to get something started
they have done it. 1t looks like ev-
erything to get some Of us in trouble
but We nave refrained from having
any trouble at all times.

Anderson, November 13.-Accordins g

Gus situation is liable to arise in the
mill districts here, owing to the action
taken by Governor Manning in send

strike is in progress.
The people feel great deal Of re-
sentiment, as they consider the strike
had been won. Indication are that
the monied class sympathizes with
the strikers. 1t is not unlikely trouble
will arise unless the governor removes

sending them here.

Manning deliberately waited until af-

find an explanation, except a peculiarly
piggish kind of callousness. Control
over high-powered automobile seems
to act like forty-rod whiskey upon
some mentalities, deposing the greater
part of the intelligence and all of the
conscience. Of course, such drivers are
not happily in the majority. If there
were many of them the thousands OF
machines which parade the roads on Sun
days and holidays would produce a gen
eral holocaust. The automobile as
sociations are doing what they can to
make the road safe; yet it is hard to
reform some rare grades of human ma

people, made an automobile trip on Au-
gust 18th, to the Sherman ranch, in
southeastern Ellsworth County. The
party left Hays at 800 o'clock a. m. /,
and followed the Golden Belt road to
Kanopolis, thence to the Sherman ranch,
returning the same day via Geneseo,
Hoisington, over the Bee Line High
way incidentally, the Golden Belt
Fair was thoroughly advertised along
the way, posters were distributed and
Mr.. Weeks made brief calls on the
lea ding business men of the cities
through which the party passed. The
members of the party were amply re-
paid for their trip by the generous
hospitality shown them by Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherman. Mr. Sherman very
kindly explained the various details of
the &c, 900 acre farm he is managing,
this being especially appreciated by
those interested in scientific farm
management. Mrs. Sherman served a
lunch on the lawn, in front of their
beautiful country home.
Mr.. Jas. T. Lardner, Financial Sec
rotary Of Topeka, and Dean Jardine of
