committed. 1t is surprising. not to

Where The Strike Hurts Most
lSpartanbnrg JournaD.

It is stated by the department
of agriculture at Washington that
the corn crop Of the United st ties
this year will reach 5000, 900. 600
bushels: that there will be a3.109,
600 tons of hay. 40.00o.0oO basnels
of Irish potatoes, and ,425, 1000
coo pounds Of tobacco. and equal
fly large production of almost al:
other crops. That is encouraging
in a sense. Millions of hard york
ing men have been employed in the
farming pursuits OF the country
and billions of dollars have been IN
vested in the business of fasming.
but what will it profit the farmers:
of these great crops if they cannot
get their stuff to market because
the operatives on the railroad lines
OF the country have gone on strike? :?
If the farmers who grow all the
things the strikers must eat TO
live would refuse to plant and sow
and reap for one year the men who
operate the railroads would find
that they owe something to the
folks who feed them.
