CAMP LIFE ON WOLF CREEK.
(Comnunicated.)

On the 26th of July very jolly
crowd left Tazewcll for n two weeks
trip on Wolf Creek. In the crowd
were two girls from the east who

The fun they gave the party can't
be mentioned here but they made up
for that, Miss Craddock and her will

leford with her "Uke," while she
played and sang nights around the
camp fire.
There were seven tents and every
thing was very convenient. A visitor
on remarking about their being so
well fixed was told that he could
have any thing he wished for-if it
was not in the camp it could be
gotten from Mr.. Showers, who had

pleasantly. There was fishing, hiking,
swimming, "rabbit hunting" cards
and croquet. If you didn't care for
these you could read and sleep. In
fact, you didn't have to do anything
you didn't want to-unless you were
on duty at meal times. Everybody was
present when the fire began to light
the dark valley. Here they sang,
jolled, toasted marshmallows.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
u. ID. c.

There was large and enthusiastic
meeting of the U. d. &c Mt the
residence of Mrs. A. G. Kiser on
Tuesday afternoon, the occasion be-
ing the annual business meeting of
the Tazewell chapter. Most satisfac-
tory reports were made by the sew
eral officers and chairmen of commit
tees, showing that much good work
is being done by these patriotic wo-
men.
Besides providing good dinner
and entertainment for the veterans
on Memorial Day, several of them
were helped financially and seven
memorial wreaths were sent for
those who passed away during the
year. Contributions were made to
Lees Mansoleum Fund, the educa-
ton fund, Confederate Museum and
expense funds and there are now
S49.96 in the treasury.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, Miss
Eliza Tynes;> First vice-president,
Mrs. G. A. Thompson; Second vice
president, Mrs. Henry C. Peery; Sec
retary, Mrs. A. G. Kiser; Treasurer.
Miss Jessie O'Keeffe, Corresponding
Secretary, Mrs. w. H. Werth, Regis
trar, Mrs. A. G. Higginbotham. After
an interesting literary and musical
program had been rendered by Mrs.
Geo. A. Martin and Mrs. Roy Thomp-
son and her two little children, re-
freshments were served by the hos
tess. ,,f-5!,..
The Tazewell chapter now numbers
fifty members. 1t should have twice
as many and surely every woman
entitled to membership should avail
herself of the privilege of joining in
the very near future, while there are
veterans still with us to sign their
papers. Otherwise this band of noble
women, who have done and are still
doing so much not only to keep alive
the memory of those who sacrificed
their all in the war between the
States, but also to establish true
history of that war, will become en-
tinct. Descendants of Confederate
soldiers, enroll yourselves among
your sisters and keep up the good
work.

THE FIRST WOMAN VOTER.
(Mercer County Bulletin.) J

kHciCcI SOuHLy BullcLln.)
Let US take you back nearly n half
century to watch n famous court
room scene. The prisoner is woman,
charged with the high crime Of yot-
ing. Her name is Susan B. Anthony.
She admits on the witness stand
that she cast her vote at the polls in
Rochester, N. Y, November, 1872.
Her defense is that women are citi-
zcns and, therefore, entitled to vote.
Seldom, her attorney, bucks her claim
by citing the fourteenth amendment To
tho constitution, which declared that
all persons" born ornaturalized in
the United States are citizens. Origin
ally the amendment read "males" in
stead OF persons" 1t was changed
to calm agitation by sufrragists.
The case is heard. The trial of
Susan B. Anthony comes to an end
Does the jury retire for decision +?
1t does not. The judge rules that
there is nothing for the jury to de-
cue ana commands the Jurors to re-
turn q verdict on the charge of illegal
voting. Attorney Seldom protests that
the court has no right to instruct q
jury to that extent in criminal
trial
Bang! goes the gavel The jury is
discharged.
Before fning Susan b. Anthony
who was then 52 years old, the judge
ordered her to stand up and inquired
whether she had anything to say.
She had lot to say. The court re
cords show that the Judge became
very peeved, that "the court cannot
allow it," that "the prisoner mus
sit down." ct cetera,- ct cetera.

WAGES AND PRICES.
(New York Times.)

l. Mr.. Gompers gives warning that
however prices may fall, wages must
stay up. This is another way of
saying that wages must be in
creased by the greater amount of
satisfaction that they will buy when
the cost of living is lower. Mr.. Comp
ers will be able to bring this boon
to all whom he may influence to be
SO efficient that it will pay employ
ers to keep them at work when the
less capable lose employment. AS
Governor Coolidge puts it, where
there is no profit there is no en-
|ployment, and the suspension of one
mans dividends is the suspension of
another mans wages. The solidarity
of interest of WORKERS and EMPLOYERS
is i'll the way of practical demonstra-
ton. If the workers wish to better
their position they must help to bet
ter the position of their employers.
So long as unions make it their OBJ
Ject to raise wages and to. make
jobs without increasing production.
their interests are opposed to those
of all whose. conditions of life and
work are made worse for the adyant-
ages of the few.
0OhiPSAo llliS
1t is economics, and it does not Weld
to political treatment. Mr. Gompers
put this same chip on his shoulder
back in 1918. Nobody then knocked
the chipj off, and nobody will now. 1t
matters not how many Congressman
MIR. Gompers elects or defeats, OF
how many strikes he indorses or op-
poses. The numbers who will be en-
ployed will depend on the employers
nope OF profit, and if that is ended
by labor's inefficiency, no power can
increase the numbers employed or
what they will be paid. Even if the
profits are as heinous as Mr.. Com
pers alleges, they are not capable of
sustaining the rate of wages in
falling price market. All profits and
all capital will not keep labor en-
ployed long if devoted solely to
labor's benefit. Where profits ARE
largest labor's condition is best. And
yet labor thinks that profit is its.
enemy and that jobs are for the pro-
duction of wages rather than for the
production of goods.
These are not things to lose temper
about, for there are neither wages
nor dividends in industrial quarrels.
1t would in all ways be better that
reason should rule. Otherwise it will
be necessary to proceed not to the
polls but toi an economic demon
stration. Strikes are as futile as
statutes or elections to compel en-
ployment at employers losses. Profit
is the sole inducement to take the
risk of payrolls. When the risk is
made to great the payroll declines in
spite of all influences to the con-
trary. Legislatures may enact mint
mum wages. Unions may establish
prevailing rates of wages. But there
can be no compulsion of employment
when the hope of profit fails. Mr..
Gompers thinks that the award of
S626, 100000 is mere "sop" to rail-
way labor. Taxpayers do not think
that addition to taxes so trivial. The
referendum to the pocket is more
convincing than the referendum to
the voters. Mr.. Gomper's language
is provocative, but nobody should be
provoked or even surprised. 1t is
labor's way, and if labor cannot be
reasoned out of its errors, the appeal
to economics must proceed.

Following from Susan B. Anthony's

thony trial. They scratched their
heads in vain. The judge is forgotten.
The principle" on which he based
his decision is almost extinguished,
ready for burial with other false
gods.
But Susan 3. Anthony lives on as
mighty force. The suffrage amend
ment passed by Congress and now
awaiting a thirtysixth state to ratify
and make it effective, is tho same
form drafted by Susan B. Anthony

ago.
