cATAWBA PREsBYTERY.

The first session of the newly erected
presbytery of Catawba, created at the
recent meeting of the Associate Re-
formed Synod of the South, of those
churches in South Carolina, including
Crowders Creek, in North Carolina,
that were. formerly part Of the First
prcsbytery, met in Chester,on Tuesday.
Heretofore the bulk of presbyterial
business has been transacted in the
fall, just before the annual meeting of
synod; but synod having changed Its
time of meeting to spring, the fall
work of presbytery is lighter, and be-
cause Of this being the first meeting
of the new presbytery, without even
preliminary organization to be effected,
the routine was unusually light. The
meeting was called to order on Tues.
day morning, and all the work was
completed during the day and evening.
final adjournment being reached at
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night.
In all there were 81 delegates pres
cnt. Rev. ]. s. Moffatt preached the
opening sermon and presided as mod
orator, and Rev. d. G. Phillips, stated
clerk, kept the records.

Inedy, pastor, advised pEesbytery, that
they would no longer require the sup
Elementary assistance they were. re-
ceiying, and would be able to support
themselves hereafter. This leaves all
the churches in the presbytery on a
self-supporting basis.
Tirzah is to call pastor as soon as
the congregation can find and agree
upon n suitable man.
Rev. W.. P. Grier, director Of the
Forward Movement fund in Catawba
presbytery, made brief talk in which
he gave most encouraging report OF
the progress Of the work, stating that
| II the churches yet to report hold up
the ratio Of the churches that have al
ready reported, presbytery's apportion-
ment of $4,000 will be largely over
subscribed.

1t would be difficult to conceive OF
anything that could happen to this
country in an industrial way that
would be worse than. the. coal strike
that is to go into effect tomorrow
The country no doubt has quite a lot
Of surplus coal on hand. There are
sections that have plenty Of coal fol
heating, etc.; but it is out Of the ques-
ton that there should be enough to
sespsapf fhG powen4aants and all the
trains running. An effective tie up OF
the miners could easily operate to tie
up the railroads and with railroad
transportation tied up, freezing
country would be in a most fearful
condition. Food would soon become a
problem, and most serious problem
insufficient food, heat, ETC., can very
easily bring on suffering, disease,
death, and general ruin. AS to where
the blame lies, we do not know; but If
the coal miners are greedy and un-
reasonable, it is quite probable that
thecoal operators are no less so.

Cowpens Monument.

Writes the Gaffney correspondent OF
the Columbia State:
A meeting was held at the Hotel
Carroll Friday evening of the men,
bers of the Cowpens battle-ground as
sociation, the, object being to devise
ways and means by which the battle
ground may be suitably marked and
if possible to induce the congress of
the United States to convert the spot
into a national park. The records
will show that every congressman
who has represented the Fifth district
for the past so years has introduced a
bill to either make this battle-ground
a national park or to erect a suitable
monument thereon to commemorate
one of the most important battles of
the Revolutionary war, but up to this
time nothing has been done and the
association is determined to make one
more effort to have the spot suitably
marked. zee.
In all the cities of South Carolina
there is not q handsomer a more con-
spicuous memorial than the bronze
statue of General Daniel Morgan in
the heart of the city of Spartanburg.
Along about 1878 the Association
referred to above succeeded through
the efforts of the late Congressman
Ivans in getting from the Federal
government an appropriation Of S10,-
900 to suitably mark the Cowpens
battlefield.
After the appropriation had been
secured, there went up clammol
from the people Of Spartanburg
against the absurdity of locating such
a handsome statue in the woods, and
insisting that it be located in, town,
where it could be seen.
In that way Spartanburg got a
statue even Baltimore or New York
might envy as the equal of anything
they have. 49,.
The Morgan statue in Spartanburg
could hardly be duplicated today for
$4,000. ".'
Certainly there is still as much
reason today why Cowpens battle
field should be properly marked as
there has ever been; but still we
do not exactly like the assertion that
nothing has ever been done along this
line. 1t does not seem fair.

WILL TAKE DRASTIC ACTION
Government Proposes to Prosecute
Coal Strikers.


The government is moving swiftly to
meet the nation wide coal strike order
ed for Saturday.
! Refusal Of the miners organization
at indianapolis to withdraw the order
calling out half million men brought
instant announcement that drastic ac-
tion would be taken to keep the mines
in operation.
l. AS to those miners who go on strike
and thereby curtail production the
food and fuel control law with its add
ed criminal penalties of fine and i'm
lprisonment will be enforced without
regard to persons. The attitude Of the
government, Attorney General Palmer
made clear, does not affect the right
| of workers to strike for redress of
grievances in other cases where no vio-
lation Of the law is involved.
Every resource of the government,
in the words Of Attorney General Pal
mer, will be used to prevent the ma
tional disaster" certain to follow the
stoppage of work. ...ta
Adequate police protection with
troops as last resort If necessary, will
be given those men desiring to remain
at work. Report from government
agents show that big part Of the
miners ordered to quit work, want to
stay on the job.
Rights of the public will be protect
ed through revival of price control reg
ulations suspended when the fuel ad-
ministration went out Of existence Feb
ruary 1. This means an early drop in
the price of soft coal and gives assur-
ance against profiteering.
Mr. Palmer's announcement Of the
governments plans, made after a con-
sultation with Secretary Wilson, Direc-
tor General Hines, Assistant Attorney
General Amos, in charge of prosecu-
ton under the food and fuel control
law, Assistant Attorney General Car
vim, directing criminal prosecution
and Investigations of the department
of justice; Secretary Tumulty, repre-
senting the president. and DR.. III. A.
Garfield, former fuel administrator,
did not mince words in dealing with
the strike. The proposed strike" the
announcement declared, would be a
more deadly attack on the life of the
nation than an invading army. The
facts present situation which chal-
Ilenges the supremacy of the law" Di-
rector General Hines later issued a
statement showing that the production
of coal this year has been below nor
