LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, June 5.-The
weather is real fine and the farmers
have plenty of work to do, harvesting
season is on hand and since the rain
cotton has come up to a very good
stand and everybody is in rush.
There will be no more idle time until
laying-by time comes.
I attended the Sunday School con-
vention at Mt. Tabor on the 28th.
there was a large attendance. Mr..
R. w. Adams, the township superin-
tendent, deserves much praise for his
good and faithful work. He never
fails to have a good convention and he
is doing good work in his township.
was in Cherokee county last week.
Attended the Sunnyside school COM
mencement, which was real good.
There were seven graduates from this
school. 1t is one among the best
schools l know of in the rural dis
tricts.
While in Cherokee county stopped
at the hospitable home of Mr. Ben
Mccullough, who lives between Broad
and Pacolet river. l spent the night
with him and his kind family. The
next day Mr.. Mccullough showed me
around. We went down to the river
and saw where Pacolet river emptied
into Broad river. There I saw some
fine bottom land prepared for corn.
Oh, forgot to tell you we had
some fish to eat while we were over
there as well as other good things.
Mr. Mccullough and some of the
hands on the place had just caught
basketful of fish and, you see, 1 hap
pened in at the right time.
Well, I never finished telling of my
trip to Charlotte in my last letter.
There were other parties who went
from Jonesville in their autos. Among
them were Messrs. Hair Webber, D..
B. Free, Reuben Lindsay, Eddie Nc
Whirter, w. F. Webber. Also Mr..
Clarence Lipford, carrying Messrs. E.
F. McWhirter, DR.. H. It. Hames, Dr..
G.. w. B. Smith and Walter Hames
There was a sham battle and it was
fine-composed of three regiments of
infantry, six companies of artillery.
They shot 10000 rounds. Nobody
killed of course, for this was sham
battle. There were 700 automobiles
Ethere. I said to some fellow when
came back to Jonesville that all the
automobiles there had ever been made
were there.
Mr.. A. H. Gossett sent me copy
of The Union Times published in 1884.
His father, Mr.. H. w. Gossett, was a
subscriber at that time and Mr.. R.
M. Stokes was the editor. This is the
oldest Union Times that this writer
has seen. This paper then was called
The Weekly Union Times, only little
difference to what it is now. r. Mac
Beth was sheriff at that time. I see
two weddings that took place at that
time, which names I remember, Rutch
and Lee married at the brides faith

mention, but I just mention these as
they are familiar to me and others
as well. / would mention more, but

A to Comparative Chances.

In his latest Commoner, Mr.. Bryan draws
what he calls AN Unpleasant Contrast" in which
he says: .s
Iowa and Nebraska are separated by the
Missouri river but, unfortunately, that is not
the only water that separates the democracy of
the two states II the democrats OF Nebraska
will read the platform adopted BY the de-
mocracy Of Iowa, they will understand why the
party is hopeful Of carrying that state this fall
Iowa democracy is looking ahead"
The irresistible and probably intended infer
ence is that Nebraska's democracy is not looking
ahead and that, in Mr.. Bryan's judgment, the
democrats have less reason to be hopeful Of carry
ing Nebraska this fall than they have Of carrying
Iowa, and goodness knows the chance Of carrying
Iowa for the democratic ticket is about as slim
as is the chance Of the republicans to win out in
Georgia ..

Humanity and nrotherhood.

Mr.. Hughes says it is mot mere poetry or
rhapsody to speak Of the ideals Of human brother
hood" And this sentiment gets unexpected con-
irmation from high source. Recently a con-
ductor on the Iron Mountain railroad held his
train twenty minutes that milk might be procured
for sick baby. For this he was reported by
subordinate official who recognized the breach
OF discipline, but did not apparently look be-
yond that. B. F. Bush, who is directing the opera
ton of the road as receiver, takes the wider view
Of the conductors act and has written to con-
graduate him that he places the interest Of hu-
mainly above even railroad discipline" The
leaven is working, and while the millennium is not
likely to be ushered in by this one event, ii shows
that we are making progress towards our ideals
Of brotherhood, and the multiplication Of such
deeds Is making The world much better place
in which to live.

Settlement by Compulsion.

As the debate over the demands OF the EN-
ployes continues the probability of general rail-
road strike becomes more remote, and it now APP
pears that some sort OF adjustment will be reached
under which the traffic OF the country may con-
tnue uninterrupted Proceedings under guidance
of President Wilson are far enough advanced to
permit discussion OF the methods adopted by him
to impose his views on both the contestants.
A peaceable settlement OF the dispute has al
ways been possible, but both sides assumed an
unyieding attitude, neither being willing to con-
cede a point to the other. President Wilson's
support has encouraged the men in fatty declin-
ing the offer of arbitration made by the managers;
the presidents ex parte award OF the eght-hour
day and its concurrent increase in pay disposing
OF the main point. Whether this is entirely con-
ceded by the managers, or some middle ground be
eventually found, the settlement will be one of
compulsion and not reached by Cancellation, and
both sides will leave the court dissatisfied with an
outcome determined by force instead of justice.
No amount OF sentimental pressing can over
come this fact. Labor has always objected to
compulsory arbitration, and has uniformly
opposed legislation looking to this end, or to en-
force arbitration awards Labor leaders under
stand that wage decision based on force can
not stand, and for this reason have preferred to
rely on Cancellation, arbitrating points on which
agreement is not reached, and turning to the
strike only as last resort In this case the
presidents course is tantamount to compulsory
arbitration, with foregone decision against the
railroads. The unfairness of the procedure will
not be denied.
Whatever adjustment is finally reached under
his plan, seeds of friction will be left, and long
time will be needed to restore the basis Of mutual
confidence essential to hearty cooperation.

Nebraska Wheat Abroad.

Omaha's grain market has gained much
desired distinction, in that its inspection is now
authortatively recognized by foreign govern
ments and grain goes direct from this market
to Europe without the intervention Of any other
inspection bureau. This point was attained by
the simple expedicnt Of convincing the foreign
buyers that the Omaha inspection is competent
and thorough, and that its integrity may be re-
lied upon. The advantage Of this to the wheat
raisers in Omaha territory is obvious Their
product will stand on its own merit in the big
European market, where it is already recognized
as first class because Of its superior quality. Bet
ter prices and surer sale will naturally follow.
Here Is one service the Omaha market has rem
dered its patrons that can scarcely be measured
yet. In return wheat growers will seek Omaha
more and more, because it is to their advantage.
Steadily the obstacles are disappearing, and the
future greatness of the Market Town" is made
more certain.

Omaha's Milk Supply.

A number OF local dairymen have been fined
for failure to serve customers with milk up to
the required standard. This is the outcome of
rather remarkable state Of affairs, the dairy
men having relied upon the advice of the city
health commissioner, who told them to ignore
! the law fixing the quality test for milk On his
side, the health commissioner says he felt justi-
fed in permitting reduction in quality rather
than subjecting the public to threatened ad-
vance in price. Late events show the public to
have been hit at both ends of the milk bottle;
the price put up and till the state interviewed
the quality was kept down
Determination Of the authorities to enforce the
law which sets standard for milk and cream to
be delivered to customers brings long fight
nearer to Its end, Local diaries have been brought
up to high plane Of sanitary excellence through
a fight extending over number of years, and in
which The Bee stood alone among the local
papers for months, facing threats Of damage suits
and other forms Of retaliation because it fought
for cleanliness all along the line in the dairy
industry. This fight has gained for Omaha's
milk supply splendid reputation; the lowest
infant mortality among cities Of its size in the
whole country is the reward Constant watch
fulness is needed yet to maintain this standard,
but the dairymen will in time learn to cheerfully
cooperate, because it is to their interest as much
as to that Of the public.
The next point to be considered is the price.
Up-to-the-test milk delivered as now required
to insure sanitary handling costs more than it did
under the discarded method, but this has already
been considered by the producers New York and

producers combination, and it is to be hoped

Mercy Matrimony Mudaiing.


Omaha, August 23.-To the Editor
of The Bee: | have spent some time
lately trying 20 fathom the mental
processes of one of our Judges of the
district court, whose ways Of handling
domestic matters brought before him
pass my understanding. Two cases
involving the remarriage Of divorced
persons have just been adjudicated
by him with the remarkable result
that he left one husband with two
wives and enc wife with two hus-
bands In each case he set aside
q divorce because one party had re-
married within less than six months.
1t did not appear in either case that
the original cause for divorce was not
sufficient nor that 1t had been re-
moved Nor was it shown that either
of the spouses separated was again
seeking reunion with the discarded
mate.
Elements that ordinarily would
warrant judicial interference with the
new matrimonial alliance were lack
ing in both cases, but 1t was shown
in one that the second wife Is soon to
become a mother. This sapient and
inscrutable judge, however, finds that
the remarriage had occurred within
six months of the granting of the d.
vorce, set aside the legal separation
in each case, and ordered the renewal
of the bond that had been cut. To
readjust the muddle he has created,
he advises the first wife of the dCu-
bly-wedded husband to again apply
for absolute divorce, and that the
twice -spliced wife ask for the annnl-
ment of her marriage to her extra
spouse, overlooking the fact that she
had already been divorced from the
man she is forced back upon, and
quite likely will be again. OF course,
all this muddle vindicates the ma
jesty" of the law, and preserves
judicial inerrancy, but how does it
square with common sense?

Wilson's Worthless Word.

Omaha, Aug. 23.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: One finds both interest
and amusement in studying the ans
wers and criticisms of our democratic
friends In their response to Judge
Hughes severe arraignment Of the
present administrators misconduct
of national affairs. After carefully
reading their comments 1t Is some
what difficult for me to believe that
these gentlemen have any confidence
in their ability to successfully defend
the administration. In fact, the
baby act seems to be rapidly grow
ing in popularity among these friends
of the president.
Everybody remembers that Mr..
Hughes had hardly had time to give
notice Of his acceptance Of the nomi-
nation to the presidency before host
of prominent acknowledgements and
assistant democrats constituted
themselves a vanguard Of the admin
istration's campaign forces by repre-
bending the republican candidate for
assertions contained In his message of
acceptance. They demanded of him
what they claimed was lacking in
his letter-a definite statement of the
faults which he found connected with
the administrations policies. Now
that their demand has been fully
complied with, these gentlemen kick
like bay steers because of 1t. They
spend less time in attempting to re-
flute the statements of facts enunci-
ated in Judge Hughes addresses than
they do in bitter complaint over his
reiteration of them.
The democrats tell us the presi-
dent has kept us out of war, and that
this achievement alone would entitle
him to triumphant reelection. l
have serious doubt that the president
is entitled to as much credit on this
score as congress; for almost every
communication from the Department
Of State to the German government
since the beginning of the present
European war has breathed a spirit
of unfriendliness if not Of actual men
ace. l cannot help believing that had
congress exhibited as high temper
as did the president in matters par
ticularly relating to the German gov
eminent, we might now be engaged In
military difficulties Of much graver
nature than our troubles with Mex
leo.
But imagine that one of the most
unkindly and fatal cuts Mr. Wilson
has inflicted upon his party is the
shabby way in which ne mas con-
stantly dealt with class Of citizens
who had hitherto almost solidly af-
filiated with the republican party.
Just before the last election Mr.. Will
son addressed a delegation Of colored
voters, who called on him for his
views and sentiment, and this, in part,
was the response Of our (then) pros
pective president:
II assure my colored fellow citizens
of my earnest wish to see Justice done
them in every matter; and not mere
grudging Justice Every guarantee OF
our law, every principle Of our consti-
tuition commands this, and our sym
pathies should also make 1t easy"
1t may be asserted without success
full contradiction, that no other ad-
has ever held forth dur
ing the entire history Of the govern
ment, that manifested a spirit and
policy more absolutely antagonistic to
lie sentiment embodied in the above
quotation than has our present CHIEF
and those of his appointees
holding administrative offices.
