and this community would not get
hungry for long time to come. The
city has gas and wood for fuel, and we
could be independent of coal ship
ments if we had to, and never suffer.
There is no reason for any fear to
seize the folks, even If a strike should
occur
But there is another instance where
the people would be hurt. In case a
strike is called there will be no mar
ket for cotton. There has been much
excitement locally over the cotton sit
uation. The buyer does not want to
take cotton. If it must be held the
GARNER or the merchant who buys
from the farmer had as well hold it,
say the cotton men, and they are not
very eager to buy until the strike
situation has cleared up.
in case strike is called there
would be a large number of local
people out Of employment. The Rock
Island, the Frisco and the Ringing
roads all have many of their employees
residing in this city These men
would be out of employment. The ex-
press companies would have nothing
to do, and more meL would be let out
The freight Offices would have less to
do and there would be holiday for
some Of the employees. The wholesale
houses would have less to do. and
there would be a reason for cutting
down the office and travelling forces
