THE DILLON HERALD, DILLON, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1919. VOL. 28 NO. 48 THREAT OF STRIKE Oil GREAT SCALE! ORGANIZED LABOR HEADS CANj. NOT CONTROL MEN. Railroad Equipment, if Allowed to Fall Into 111 Repair, Will Check Traffic. Washington, Aug. 5?The threat of a railroad strike continues to spread throughout the country despite the ! efforts of the organized labor heads to hold the men in check until au- 1 thoritative and official strike votes can be taken. Shopmen everywhere are throwing ! down their tools in premaiure strike, , it was reported were threat ing national industry, because without them l railroad equipment can no be kept in usable order at the most necessary of all times?crop moving season. Above that hovered the threat of , an even more serious labor situation, : the demand of all the organized railroad industry that the profits of the j business be overhauled to retire pri- , vate capital and create a new partite control. Reports began coming in today saying that unless railroad equipment , can be kept in running order mills, . mines and factories will be threatened with closing. It was reported that . there now are more than 2000,000 i' cars out of commission. Formal announcement was made;! tonight of the final tabulations in L the referendum conducted among j, business men by the Chamber of Com- , merce of the United States on the question of government ownership of ' railroads. More than 99 per cent, of the vote, the official announcement J said, was against it. ( Widespread Threats. I Meanwhile threats of hundreds of , thousands of railroad employees to go , on strike to force higher wages to j meet the high cost of living were reiterated.. From many parts of the j country today came reports that striking shopmen refused o return to work. t despite the fact that their action was ( denounced as illegal by the executive j council of the six shop crafts. Strike j ballots were mailed out from the j American Federation of Labor for < taking an official vote as to whether ^ the 500,000 shopmen shall walk out j to obtain their demands and express , their disapproval of President Wil- ' son's reference of the railroad ques- t tion to congress. Demands also are { being made by 50,000 clerks, freight { handlers and station employees. Di- j rector General Hines was to have discussed their problems today with J e J. Forrester, grand president of thr union, but other business interfer-L red and the conference will be held tomorrow. ^ mA. mosquito harmless The Female of the Species More 1 Deadly Than the Male. Mr. Mosquito does not bite; his J bill is so blunt that he could not be I ^ a blood-sucker if he wished. It is] Mrs. Mosquito who does all the dead- 1 ly work of fever propagation. She is the most active around dawn and after sunset. She avoids strong r light and prefers dark colors. She,, is essentially a domestic creature, !? staying around houses by prefer- . ence. | In the autu&n the males die and the females seek winter quarters.!1 They hibernate in dark corners of j cellar and garret, and on the first warm day of spring are out laying * their eggs. Save when extended by f the arrival of this hibernating peri-i1, od, the life of the female is one or I. two months, the male, on the other ' hand, lives but a few days. The food of the mosquito is the juice and nec- c tar of plants and, of course, blood?jj though not necessarily that of man; animals, reptiles and even eaterpil? c lars are bitten with the same free- s dom. |( The female mosquito lays from!5 fifty to one hundred eggs at a time, on any quiet bit of water. In about ' three days they hatch, and though at :! first the larva is very small, it grows j1 rapidly and attains full development i' in a few days. We have then the fa- c miliar wrigglers of the old time rain A barrel and the uncovered cistern. :f During the larval stage, which 5 lasts from seven to fourteen days,; the malarial variety can be distin-!? guished from all others by the curi- T ously inclined by virtue of the fact * that it lies with its body parallel to'1 the surface of the water, while the 1 other species hang their heads down- ( ward.?Scientific American. > o j* IS TWICE REPORTED DEAD. j< P.

Southern Negroes Did Not Get Along With Them Very Well. Picturesque and peculiar to a degree among all the soldiers who fought in France were the Algerians brought from their far-away home in Africa to European soil by the French to help the Allies push back and crush the Hun hordes. And they played a gallant and most important part in the crushing. It is said that France had 800,000 of them in the battlelines of Europe and I have no reason to doubt the statement. They were brave soldiers. tVild and natur ally war like, they sacrificed tneir lives with reckless abandon. Mohammedan in their religion, fighting a "holy" war they believed (and they were fighting a holy war if any war is holy) death meant Absolutely nothing to them, because, according to their religiou, all followers of Mohammed who die in such a war always go to heaven, regardless of sins of omission and commission. If such is the case there are lots of them in heaven now because in the early days of the war they suffered most terrible losses and in fact all through the struggle their losses were proportionately great. Never Took Coats Off. Born and reared in a hot climate where clothes were more of a formality than a necessity and being transferred to France where the climate is almost always cool and most of the time cold, they could never exactly iccustom themselves to the change, rhey wore the same uniform as regular French soldiers, a beautiful t>lue color with long overcoat of the same material. I saw thousands of \lgerians in various parts of France luring my period of service overseas. S'o matter in what kind of work they were engaged iu cooking their meals >n a hot army range or over an open KrtnA woro Q1 Wfl VQ .11 C lUUOt VIUVVAtVO n Vi V .? w svorn. They went tQ bed with 'em on ind got up with 'em on and fought n 'em too. There was little or no fraternizing )etween them and the Allied troops of )ther races and nationalities. Alhough of the negro race, with most it the racial characteristics of our legroes?the same broad noses, kincy hair and thick lips they didn't lobnob with the negroes from the States even a little bit. One reason vas that they could not speak Engish but they spoke French to aj ?reat extent. Then their Mohammelian religion would not allow fraterlization with peoples of any other aith and besides by birth and breedng and custom running from time immemorial, they kept to themselves ind among their own kind. Our Negroes Didn't Like Them. It used to make some of our negoes pretty mad?especially the neg o soldiers who came from the Souhern States. A southern negro with vhom I formed an acquaintance, was liscussing these Algerian soldiers one lay and his eyes rolled and he show d his teeth as he talked about them. "White folks," he said to me, 'what j ro' all reckon' is de mattah wid lent French niggers?dem fellers! urn Alderia or geria or what ebah dace dey is fum?" "Why I don't know that there is my-thing wrong with them,'' I redied. "I don't know a great deal ibout them; but from what I know ind from what I have learned they ire pretty good scrappers and they >ehave themselves pretty well." "Well, suh," the negro said, "dem liggers is about de stuckupedest liggers what ah ever did see. Back lome in de States ah used to know me or two niggers what wuz kind o' ituck up lak and what thought dey vas better den rest an' ah has seen !r few of dem kind o' niggers heah n dis American army; but dem French Gerians or whatebber you callj lein, is all dem wus de leader ob de irocesshun back home on 'Mancipa-j ion day.

The conversation ended with that; >ut I afterward observed many evilences of the contempt and ill feeing in which the American blacks held he Algerians and I am sure that if! hey had ever had a real chance here would have been some lively ighting between them. Slashed Own Faces. Proverbiel passion of the negroes or carving and slashing, though in | >ur negroes the passion is for carving I >r slashing some other negro, is' strong with the Algerians. The facesj >f most of the thousands of soldiers if that country whom I saw were lashed with from one to a dozen inife cuts?horrible gashes, in many nstances extending completely across he face.

Governor of North Carolina Says 1 Some from lllnois Will Re Welcomed. | Raleigh, N. C. Aug. 3?Gov. T. W. Bickett today, answering a query of ;a Chicago newspaper, said that North i Carolina can absorb 25,000 negroes^ wno want to return irom innois 10 ! the South unless they have become i tainted or intoxicated with dreams of (social equality or political dominion. I The governor was asked by the ChiJ cago paper in a telegram received i here Friday how many negroes this I State could absorb, the negroes havj ing appealed to the Chicago paper j during the recent rioting in that city, i The message to the governor said that ' those desiring to return were negroes who went to Chicago to enagage in war work and were of the industrious class. Returning from a mountain trip today, the governor wired the Chicago paper that this State could absorb 25,000 negroes "who may desire to come t0 this State for honorable employment at remunerative wages.'' He declared, however, that social equality and political power in the South is forever impossible. o NEGROES ATTACK WHITE MAN. l)r. E. L. Brown of Latta Struck Over Head by N'egro He Ordered from His Store. Dr. E. L. Brown of Latta was painfully but not seriously injured Saturday night when a negr0 he ordered ifrom his store struck him over the | head with a bottle. Two negroes 'named Bethea were in Dr. Brown's j store buying kerosene when Dr. Brown told them they would have to -get out or quit smoking while he was drawing the oil- The negroes refused to do either and when Dr. Brown attempted to shove them out one of the nePTneB.striiplr him nvpr thp hpnri with "V,0 * , la bottle of grape juice. Dr. Brown's 1 son came up about this time and as the negroes were getting in the buggy he appreached them and one of them struck him several times with a buggy whip. A crowd quickly gathered but the negroes had made their escape. Dr. Brown is not seriously injured. o NEGRO SHOOTS UP FAMILY. Then Commits Suicide, Using Gun and Pistol. Anderson, Aug. 4?Elijah Clinkscales, colored, of this county, late Saturday night shot and killed his wife, wounded his child and then committeed suicide. A shotgun was used, but being unsuccessful in efforts to kill himself with this weapon, the negr0 used a pistol. Alfreds Childs, colored, died here Sunday as a result of being 'shot by another negro at a church in Abbe- F ville county, '{he altercation is said t to have started over a drink of water at a well. top and into the German trenches 1 yelling "Allah, Allah, .Allah." Enough to make Jerry tremble with tear, tu: Unfortunately for them this savage' pivtctice of hacking their faces often f resulted in their deaths from causes 8 other than German bullets or even 8 the more common death by disease. 1 Times were when they could not be!1 very careful about seeing that the 1 knives which they used in cutting f themselves were as clean and sanitary | x as they might be, and quite often j' blood poisoning and gangrene would ^ get the.ntNo attempt was ever made by their 1 French officers to stop this barbar- * ous and dangerous practice on the v part of the Algerians. This cutting r of the face was a part of the reli- * gion of the Algerians and the Allied * command knew better than to inter- j fere with any custom of their eastern soldiers which would in any way in- n terfere with their religion. It might have resulted in rebellion. Marines Not Very Careful. But not only with the negroes from c the States were these Algerian soldiers unpopular. They suffered quite " a bit at the hands of the marines. ' These soldiers were required to do a ' little of everything on the other side, among their most unpleasant tasks ? being that of almost continuous guard duty in some sections. Orders lj1 to those on guard in the various camps were to challenge all comers ?riH pnprs and in case thev failed to answer the challenge to shoot. These Algerians when off duty lik-1 ed to come and go as well as otheri soldiers. I Often times they passed close to! e the sentry boxes occupied by Amer- f ican marines. v "Halt!'' would come the command. ^ The Algerians, many of them, did not understand the woVd since it was spoken in English. The Algerian soldier would go on his way, but not very far on his way. f "Bang," would g0 the Springfield j rifle of the sentry. There would be p nearu a uun inua una mere unvi_ less Algerian soldier in the army ofL. the Allies. L Not all the Allied soldiers who were I r killed by bullets in Europe were v killed by the Germans and their Al- r liesi No?not a great many.?Lewis , M.

Under the caption "Know Your Fditor" the following advice is givt persons interested in their varioi communities by the Extension Service News, published by the extension department of the New York State College of Agriculture: All community committeemen and Tor that matter every other person who is interested in the life of his community should have an intimate acquaintance with and sympathetic attitude toward the editors of his local papers. Too few people realize the contribution which the country weeklies make to the life of the community. Many times the person who interests himself in community affairs thinks of the local editor only when he wishes to make use of him to give publicity to some meeting or other enterprise. At other times he is all too likely to have only words of criticism for the publisher and his paper. The person who thinks that the editor's job is a bed of roses has little realization of what it means to get hut every week a reasonably good | paper. The past months have been es-1 pecially trying ones for the small1 papers. Coupled with the high cost! pf the white paper has been the increasing difficulty of getting help ind the high wages which printers Pave been in a position to demand. The old-time country printer, fur:her, has become almost extinct, and in all round printer is almost a necessity in the country office. The publisher cannot afford to hire a 1 specialist in all the different branch- ' ;s of the printing business. He must ? Pave a man who can set type, feed e i printing press and perhaps run a P inotype machine, and yet in the J printing business, as in all businesses, the tendenry is toward speelaliza- P ion. p The newspaper is not so much a S pusiness enterprise as it is a local in- I ttitut'ion, and in proportion to what ie contributes to the life of the com- t nunity the average publisher is as a poorly paid as the country preacher t pr the country school teacher. He 8 vorks almost as long hours as the E armer and cannot feel that he is off c luty during any of his waking hours. 3 rust so sure as any event happens ^ if whirh hp nr anv member of his ^ amity knows just so surely will some ^ ine criticise him if he fails to make & nention of that event in the paper. c Know your editor. The better you s ome to know him the more you will 1 'ome to see that he is not such a bad ellow after all. May we add this: And when you c ome to know your edito/ realize he r s a human being and that his busi- 0 less is subject to the economic laws b hat apply to all other enterprises, le must make a profit or close un ? ;hop. Know your editor, but don't ^ ry to "work" your editor. ? o TAXED AT $350. AN ACRE. L Iv 4igh Assessment of Farm Lands in t Scotland County, N. C.
