LABOR CONGRESS
ADMITS NEGRO
Southern Convention Favors Indus
trial Equality.

Asheville, N. c., Aug. 21.-Urgent
recommendations providing for rad
ical changes in many systems affect
ing conditions Of living were adopt
ed at today's session Of the South
ern Labor Congress in convention
here, and the congress went on record
as giving it's hearty endorsement to
industrial equality without regard to
color. The recognition Of the negro
laborer on the same equality with the
white came as big surprise.
The sessions tonight were featured
by the address of President Jerome
Jones of Atlanta, who heartily en-
dorsed the league Of nations. The
decision to organize colored workers
as it would white workers was unani-
nous. Prospects Of a fight on the
resolution vanished when delegates
heard speakers advance reasons for
drawing no color line in organized
labor. The throwing of safeguards
around the travelling public, the re-
duction of the high cost of living and
the proper control of unfortunate
orphans, were some of the worthy
aims to which delegates pledged
their support in the adoption of
strong resolutions calling for the
hearty activities of the various crafts
in the creation of opinion looking to
the attainment of the goals named.
The final meeting of the congress
will convene in the morning and will
be featured by the election of officers
and the discussion of resolutions
which were not presented to the con-
vention today.
One of the resolutions which
brought forth much discussion was
the call for organized labor to press
the work of forming unions in re-
mote parts of the States not yet con-
tanning organized bodies. Another
which was adopted gives the con-
gress the power to designate the vice
presidents of the body, one in each
State; as men having power to press
upon the legislatures Of the various
States all measures for the good of
organized labor, the expenses Of
such representatives to be paid from
the general fund.

NICHOLS RETIRES
T AFTER THIS TERM
Thanks Friends for Support AM
Gives Reason for Action.

To the Editor of The State:
I am receiving so many letters
from my friends in the district urg-
ing me to stand for reelection to con-
gress and asking me to tell them what
l have decided to do that I feel in
Justice to them and to the men to
aspire to come to congress that l
should make statement as to my
position.
I would not have been candidate
for congress two years ago had it not
been for the fact that held high
rank on the most important commit
tee in congress during the war, name
ly, the military affairs committee,
and did not believe that any other
man from my district, who could not
possibly have been appointed on this
committee, could be of as much serv-
ice to the boys at the frort o., to
the people at home as | could.
Now that the war is ove- I Il
that l am not called upon to serve
here any longer. I have stayed in
congress at financial sacrifice, but
I have enjoyed the work, and appre-
ciate more than / can ever express
the honor which my people have con-
ferred upon me. l hope that I, have
in part lived up to the expectations
of my friends.
want the people of my district TO
know that the fact that / am not
seeking reelection to congress will
have absolutely no bearing upon my
activities here. I expect to work for
them in the future as I have worked
for them in the past until my sue
cessor shall take the oath of office.
/ will return to Spartanburg at the
close of my term and reenter the
practice of law.
l wish to take this opportunity,
Mr.. Editor, of thanking my loyal
friends for the splendid manner in
which they have always supported
me and stuck to me. AS long as l
live l will ever be grateful to them,
and whether in private or public life
my ambition in the future shall be
to give service to my people.

Teachers and Newspaper
Men Should be Remembered.

To the Editor of The State:
In the September issue of the
American Magazine, Sid says:
"President Hibben of Princeton
makes an appeal for better pay for
teachers. That appeal is sound.
Good preachers ought also to have
more pay. Good teachers are preach
ers and good preachers are teachers.
"But the world has always been
inclined to let the teachers and
preachers be satisfied with the one
form of compensation they receive
in abundance, namely, the joy they
get out of the Job. This is neither
fair nor wise.
"Education is the most valuable
service performed in the world. The
more talent we can attract to that
field the better. Many are attract
ed already. More would be attract
ed if the salaries were larger. After
all, a certain amount of money is
necessary, even to a spiritually salts
fled man.
"President Hibben shows that
many of the best teachers are now
leaving the profession because they
simply can not live on the mohey
they receive. God help usSif that
exodus keeps up.
"Let's have good teachers and
preachers-and let's pay them enough
money to live on
That is good preachment, Mr.. Ed
itor, and, coming from "Sid' is es-
pecially significant and sane. Recog-
milton and reward will yet come to
those who sincerely serve their day
and generation. 1t is one of the out
standing facts and tokens of this
distinctly new era we are entering.
But, "Sid" has inadvertently omit
ted to mention teacher and preach
er (the real "two in one'), who, par
excellence, is deserving of right hon
orable mention in this connection.
The editor-he of the Fourth Estate
rank among selfsacrificing toilers for
human weal-holds a distinguished
place,~I trow.
A truly generous and appreciative
public shall duly accord him the just
mead of praise and material COM
pensation righteously his own for in
valuable service rendered.

One on General Grant.

An old resident of the wilderness
country of Virginia is fond of telling
this story about General Grants cam
paign:
81 was just youngster in sixty
four and was sent on an errand to-
ward Culpepper. When l reached the
ford at the. Rapidan met columns
of Union troops crossing the river,
and among group of officers IN the
bank there was a short, bearded man
whom recognized from pictures as
General Grant. He called me to him
and asked me several questions about
the country and the position of the
Confederate troops, but did not
give him any information Of value.
Finally asked a question of my own
account. u
General Grant, where are you 60
ing?"
THE general held up four fingers.
II may be going to Charlottesville,
he said, or l may be going to Rich
mond, or 1 may be going to heaven,
or I may going to some other place.
81 replied General, I know you
are not going to Charlottesville, for
you will meet General Hill there; and
you are not going to Richmond, for
YOU will meet General Lee there;
and you are not going to heaven, for
YOU will meet General Jackson there;
but you may be going to the other
place, for there are no Confederates
there"

"Gee," I thought to myself. ''That
razor will certainly be in some fear
full shape by the time she gets to
me-"
At last my time came, and l sat
down in the chair of one of the fair
BARRIERS rather reluctantly. My beard
is not as tough as some; but it is a
lot easier to cut wheat with a NOV
ing machine than it is for almost any
barber to cut my whiskers and there
fore l was filled with grave fore
bodings.
The pretty barberess-she was
about 1S, guess, gave me the once
over with a professional stare. re-
turned the look and then closed my
eyes. After what my buddy had told
me / went to the place with view
to getting shave, shampoo and all.
When l saw the place and the tor
lures of the others changed my
plans.
Well she lathered me pretty good
and then she started. The lather
stung like the bite Of one of these
August mosquitoes that whine around
YOUR head in the night time, bite
deep and beat it, the blow you IN
tend for the mosquito striking your
head instead. That's how I felt.
She made a swipe at my cheek.
The razor felt like it had forty gaps
in it.
She swiped at me again and the
number. of gaps appeared to be in
creased to fifty.
"strop the razor" I said in Eng
lish. She looked at me amazed like,
and then started shaving again.
'3she don't savy English, buddie," :"
said a lad in khaki who was seated
ON that mourner's bench with a
twinkle in his eye.
"You go to the dickens" I said to
him rather angrily. 81 don't savvy
the French so how am 1 going to tell
her."
"Well then just grin and bear it,
buddie," the soldier returned.
And I did. It took that woman
fully thirty minutes to shave me.
You may imagine ! was some tired
at the end of that time because Of
having sat so long in a cramped po-
sition and singing and smartlng
from that lather and that razor.
When she had finished shaving me
she didn't wash my face with a damp
towel and then dry it. She simply
wiped it with towel which had
been used to wipe the mugs of num-
erous other lads.
I paid her. for the job and beat it.
No woman has shaved me since.
No woman will ever shave me again.
I needed a hair cut soon after that. l
ran across a fellow who had been
clerk and clothes presser and barber
in some small burg before he went to
war.
He cut my hair and he continued
to cut it when necessary all the time
was overseas.
I went back to my old safety razor
given me by Uncle Sam. l use that
razor yet.
Woman suffrage is all right. Wo-
men doctors and lawyers and preach
ers and newspaper editors and most
any old thing that women want to be
are all right.
But take it for me-women bar
hers are all wrong.
