THE movement started by the
Southern States to encourage the
wearing of overalls to beat down the
high cost of clothing looks to us like
excellent propaganda to increase
the sales of Cotton made goods.
Wooden goods have been extremely
high and cotton was not many jumps
behind, and we have our doubts it
the wearing OF the blue denim will
bring down the cost of either. The
southern started movement has
spread rapidly to the north, east and
west, and overall clubs are being
formed everywhere, but it is safe to
predict that many of the white
collared fellows" who are now boost
ing for the overall movement will
not long appear in the blue garb
after the move lty of the thing has
worn off, and when they flock back
to wooden goods again there will be
an advance again, while nothing has
been gained by the wearing OF the
overalls except to boost the price of
the garment usually worn by the
w0rkingmen.
Clothing prices are being pushed
up and down today without any re-
gard for the consumer. The retailer
is not gaining any profit by the high
1rices, but is finding it more difficult
to do business. The time is com ng
when the consumers are going to
balk against the high prices of wear
ing apparel and until that time
comes prices are not going to be
lowered. At the present time high
priced goods are having their inning
but the time will come when they
will be driven from the field by the
lower priced articles.

properly fear that railroad employees
organizations will lose their tremen'
dous power as result of such per-
formances among strikers. Mr..
Gompers has pointed out that the
American working man>has gathered
the big profits out Of the structure oil
organized labor. This is undoubted-
~ fact, and the selfish interests, as
well as the ideals of American labor
are more at stake in a strike of this
kind than are the interests of the
railroads or the interests of the pub
lie, since strike of this kind is
essentially an outlaw affair. having
behind it the sinister shadow oil
social, political and industrial dis.
order. In such crisis in their
affairs the American workingman
who had builded to better condi-
tions through the powerful force Of
organized labor can hardly fail to
turn against the strikers in his own
ranks who are carrying on an almost
meaningless but thoroughly destruc-
tive contest against the railroads.
There can be no outcome of such a
condition other than that of harm to
the cause of organized labor. This
is unfortunate since organized labor
has gained strength as we'll as actual
recognition throughout America in
recent years.

The practice of using visiting cards

When these dignitaries were not at

DR.. B. F. Jones Shot by Mr.. M.

Monday afternoon about five
O'Clock Mr.. M. W. Hudgens and DR..
B. F. Jones met and engaged in a
conversation of ten or fifteen min
utes near the office and cotton seed
scales of Mr.. A. M. Zimmerman, and
just what led to the tragis ending of
the interview is not known. Mr.. Hud-
gems fired several shots from pistol
at DR.. Jones, all of them taking eff
feet. The one that entered about the
centre of the chest had not been 10
Gated up to the time he was carried
to Augusta. The details leading up
to the alteration are not known to
the public as there were no eye-wit-
nesses. DR.. Jones had pistol in the
pocket of his car but none on his per-
son. All four of the local physicians
were called to the aid of the wounded
man and he was given the closest
attention until he was carried to the
hospital in Augusta Tuesday morn
ing. He stood the trip we'll and while
nothing very definite has been heard
from him since his condition seems
to be no worse. An X-ray photograph
will be made before an operation is
undertaken to extract the ball. The
physicians believe he has good
chance for recovery.
Immediately after the shooting
Mr.. Hudgens went to the Court
House and surrendered to the sheriff
and is now in Jail. When he will ap-
ply for bail has not been stated.
