News OF The Franklinton
High School,.

The four literary societies met
Friday afternoon with much
enthusiasm on the part of all the
members. The two societies of
the eighth and ninth grades met
in joint session, one entertaining
the other with splendid debate
on the subject: Resolved that
Jackson was a greater man
than Lee, the affirmative winning.
Names for the societies were dis.
cussed, one society adopting the
title "Alpha."
The two societies of the Junior
and Senior. classes met in joint
session with the society of which
Callie Bush is president entertain
ing.
The constitution was read. and
adopted after which those present
enjoyed a delightful program
consisting of music and represen.
tations of the titles of books.
Names for the societies were sug-
gested but no definite conclusion
concerning them was reached.
The next program will oe de.
bate between the two societies on
the subject: Resolved that the
Franklinton High School needs a
two year commercial course more
than a four year agricultural
course; affirmative, Emory Con.
nell, Burke Sylvest; negative
Willie and William Magee. Much
interest is being shown in this
work by both pupils and teachers.
The box supper, given by the
high school Friday evening, prov.
ed a success. A community sing.
ing in the auditorium came first
after which the crowd assembled
on the campus in front of the
building for the auctioning.
Many beautiful boxes were dis
played, the sale of which brought
over sixty dollars. This money
was used in paying note of sixty
dollars due on the school piano.
The new International Encyclo-
pediae added to the library are a
great Improvement as they are
far superior to the old ones. With
these as we'll as the addition of
new books and magazines the
school will be we'll supplied with
reading and reference sources.
The boys basket ball teams
have prospects of games with
and Mt. Hermon in a
few weeks. The locals are conf.
dent of victory over both teams,
but this does not hinder their reg
ulur practise.
The annex to the building will
probably be completed in a few
weeks 80 that the school work
can be carried on in a better way.
The present condition causes
great inconvience to both teachers
and pupils.
Seats are being rapidly sold
for the lyceum number on Wed.
nesday the twenty.ninth. The
school is hoping also to enjoy on
Friday next the presence of Mrs.
Storm, state president of the
Federated clubs. She is to visit
the Waverly Club and will proba-
bly speak before the student body
and people of the town.

 BY LINCOLN

could not have existed if labor had not lrst existed. Labor is the super for of capital and deserves higher consideration. I bid the laboring people beware of surrendering the power which thev possass and which if surrendered, will surely be used to shut the door of advancement for such as they, and fit new disabilities and burdens upon them until all their liberty be lost.
 "In the early days of our race, the Almighty said to the first of man, kind, Tn the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread. And since then, if we except the light and air of heaven no good thing can be employed with out first having cost labor. And, in asmuch as most good things have been produced by labor, it follows that all such things by right being to those whose labor has produced them. But it has so happened in all ages of the world that some have iabored and others have, without labor, enjoyed a large portion of the fruits. That is wrong and should not continue. To secure to each labore1 the whole product of his labor, or nearly as muc', is a worthy object of any government.
 "It seems strange than any man should dare to ask Gods assistance in wringing bread from the sweat oi other mems faces.
 "This country with it's institutions belongs to the people who inhabit it. '

TEXTILE STRIKE

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan 2S-A na- tion wide strike of all organized American Textile Workers is being advocated here.
 The aim of this proposed strike is to be for a limit of fourty eight hours week instead of the present fifty four week. The same pay for fourty eight hours will be asked as has been customary for fifty four per week.
 That the Textile workers will have great struggle on their hands should this tr:ke be called is acknowledged but the majority of the workers are in favor of calling the strike as soon as possible.

'I see in the near future crisis ap- preaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. AS a result of the war corporations have been enthron- ed, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in few hands, and the republic is destroyed. II feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of our country than ever before, even in the midst of war God grant my foreboding may be groundless.
 Monarchy itself is sometimes hint ed at as refuge from the power of the people. In my present position I could scarcely be justified were to omit to raise warning voice against the approach of returning des- potfsm. It is not needed nor fitting here that general argument should be made ill favor of popular institu- tions, but here is one point with it's connections not to be hackneyed as most others, to which I ask brief at tention. 4
 Ut is assumed that labor is avail able only in connection with capital, that nobody labors unless somebody else owing capital, somehow by the use of it, induces him to labor. Labor is prior to and independent of capital Capital is only the fruit of labor and
