After they had drawn the money, about $43,000 and as they were getting ready to start, Wood and Harvey appeared on the scene with drawn revolvers and made the captain and his assistants hold up their hands. One of the cor porals took the wheel and the other kept the captain and his men huddled in the back seat, promising to let daylight into them if they should mov<*.

No Foreign Operatives Wanted in The South Whenever there is developed in New. England textile centers a spirit of unrest and labor agitation threat ening to drive the cotton mill indus try from that section to the South, there immediately begins a cam paign to stir up the labor people in Southern cotton mills and to organize them under the leadership of these Northern labor union leaders. It was once admitted by the then Gov ernor of Massachusetts that he had sent, disguised as philanthropists, two investigators into Soutnern cot ton mills in order to head off the trend of Northern cotton mill people to the South. From time to time muckraking wri ters about Southern cotton mill condi tions and labor agitators have sought to stir up a spirit of ill will among Southern cotton mill operatives to their employers. The game is on again, and labor ag itators are now among the Southern cotton mills trying to organize them into unions on the plea that these op eratives are clamoring for thitf. It would he a disaster, not merely to the South but to the country, for such a scheme to succeed. Practical ly the entire cotton mill industry of New England is in the hands of the lower class of foreigners, so far as operatives are concerned. The old native American element was long since driven out of the cotton mills, and then came the French Canadians, the Poles, the Greeks, and the Hun- j garians, until the New England mill j villages are now almost wholly com- : posed of foreigners. They are led by i radical union labor agitators, and j they are making life such a burden to the cotton manufacturers of New 1 England that this agitation is large- j ly responsible for the determination j of many New ICngland cotton mill ; men to go South. Not only do these agitators harrass and bedevil their employers, but the foreign stock in New England, holding the balance of power, largely controls legislation, and their legislation adds unceasing trouble to the cotton mill owners. The New England cotton mill op eratives are in no way whatever of the same class of people as Southern operatives. Indeed the operatives in Southern mills should regard them selves as so far superior in morals, in ability, in social standing, in Americanism to the mongrel crowd of the lower classes of foreigners in New England mills as to spurn any connection with any organization with which these un-American foreigners are identified. Southern mill opera tives are as nuperior in every phase of life to these foreigners as Ameri ca is superior to the countries from which tney came. There can be little or no harmony between mill managers and tbas* lower classes of foreigners under the conditions _ under which they arc led by the labor agitators and controlled Lincoln's Double Lives In Nevada Judge Chas.

It, would be an unspeakable disaster to the South if the coming of New Eng< land mills into the South should ever bring that foreign element into South ern mills. Infinitely better would it be for the South to develop less rap* idly in its textile industry than for j it to go through the trials which New England has had to endure by the incoming of these lower classes frpm Southern Europe. Cotton mill employment In the South is pre-eminently the job of the native Anglo-Saxon of this section, largely of the Piedmont and moun tain region. That is the great bee- 1 hive which pours out an unceasing stream of new . people to help operate the cotton mills. They have the in telligence and inherent ability to de velop the highest skill far greater than is possible on the part of the for eigner in New England mills. They J are cursed with none of the foreign spirit of these New England opera tives. They are Americans in spirit and in thought. Patriotism has been born, generation after generation, in the people who have come out of the mountains into the cotton mills. The handloom work done by many of the mountain women in North Carolina and Kentucky and Tennessee moun tains shows an inherited trait run ning for centuries for the finest kind of skill, which can be developed for anything that can be done by any mill operatives in the world. These people are homogeneous. They are Southern born. They are American born. They love their states, and they love their country. They regard the cotton mill industry as peculiarly theirs. In a sense they have created it by becoming the op eratives which made possible the building of these mills. They would resent, and justly so, the incoming of foreigners. We thing it altogether probable that if any New England mill should attempt to bring into the South its foreign element these new comers would not want to remain very long, for we believe that they would not receive the kind welcome that would permit them to stay in Southern cotton mills. The facts might as well be stated plainly. If ever New England cot ton mill people should attempt to build a mill in the South and bring in the foreign element, whether it came direct from abroad or from New England itself, it would endan ger the whole situation. The; Manufacturers Record is anx ious to see the utmost possible de velopment of the textile industry in the : South, Jbut it would regard as disastrous (!) this section the incom ing of foreign mill operatives. When the supply of labor in the Carolinas and Georgia and Alabama prove-s in adequate, as in time it may, dUe to the rapid growth of the mill industry, cotton manufacturers should look to other parts of the South. There are many sections of Arkansas and Texas and other states with climatic advan tages duplicating those of the Caroli nas, with great crowds of people who would make good operatives, avail able as a labor supply. There are some parts of the South where cot ton mills might not prove profitable, but scattered all along the line from Virginia to Texas and Arkansas, there are many sections where the climate, where the raw material, and where water power, can all be had, duplicating in many respects the ad vantages of the Carolinas and Geor gia. , The agitation that is now going on in North Carolina by organizers of the United States Textile Workers of America should be vigorously op posed by all people who have at heart the good of ihe Southern mill opera tives and of the country. There is probably no other industry in the world which has done as much for its labor in proportion to the length of its development and its wealth as the Southern cotton mill industry. Stead ily, year after year, it has improved the Irving conditions of its operatives, it lias built better homes, better vil lages, better mill equipment; it has built more and better schools, and V. M. C. A. and Y. W. C . A. build ings. Out of these mill villages have come many of the superintendents and managers of Sbuthrrrj mills. There is a peaceful, atmosphere pre vailing among the employees and em ployers, and it would be disastrous to both, and to the country as a whole, to see this happy condition changed by the power of labor agitators sent out from New England, whether sent by adverse political interests in New England, or whether going on their own volition for the purpose of stir ting up strife in order to keep them selves employed; for the labor agita tor has no other reason for his ex istence in the job except to stir up strife and by that means continue to draw his salary. The South is relatively free from foreign stock. It should remain so. In Rhode Island 69 per _cei^t of its population is foreign stock and in Massachusetts 66 per cent. No won* der there are constant labor trouble* in New England cotton mills. ? Man ufacturer's Record, February lf 192a. ? S11QOTS AT OFFICERS. Dan and Hh?*t t Mitcholi Arrested Near Rlnney. Federal, stale and county officers exchanged a number of shots with Uhett Mitchell early yesterday aft ernoon when they raided a still near Blaney. Mitchell was arrested, as was Dan Mitchell, and both wero brought to Columbia and placed in the Richland county jail. When the officers 'reached the still place they arrested the two Mitchells, but Rhett Mitchell broke away and went to a house, where he obtained :\ shotgun, the officers say. Aftt-r get ting the gun he returned and, opened fire on the officers. One or two of the shots struck P. J. Coleman, gen eral prohibition officer, and , Rural Policeman Neely, but no wounds were inflicted. The officers returned j the fire and gave chase. Mitchell , was caught without serious trouble. | The officers seized the still, a 150 I gallon copper outfit, and also 1,400 gallons of beer, 20 fermenters and seven gallons of whiskey. Officers in the raid were Federal Officer Coleman, State Constable Smyrl and Rural Policemen Neely and Trotter of Richland county. The raid was in Kershaw county, but had not the two Richland officers given their assistance, the two men would prob ubly not have been captured, accord ing to Mr. Coleman. The still was lo cated near the Richland-Kershaw line.-? Saturday's State. McBee Store Robbed. McBee, Feb. 3, ? The Corner Drug store of McBee was entered by rob bers at some time Tuesday night.
