ONE EVIL OF TRUSTS. ~ THEY LESSEN THE OP PORTUNITIES FOR FIND ING EMPLOYMENT. Washiogtoo, June 7.--t4I am op posed to trusts on the general propo sition that they deprive a certain cumber of people of work," said Mr. J. C. Anderson, of Chicago. "The man who gives employment to tbe most people is the greatest benefactor of the race. I wish it were in my power to have a big in dustrial p'ant which would afford 100,000 men the opportunity of toil ing six boars a day at maxmum wages. I have been an employer of labor ail my life, and have seen the hours shortened by degrees, bot they haven't been reduced enough. A s ix-hour working day. is long enough, for in that time, owing to the intro duction of labor saving machinery, there will be a sufficient amount of production Tbe only argument in favor of war is that it gives men em ployment. Nations that do not stand ready to engage in conflict stagnate ; the individual that does not engage in the straggle for existence is of but small account. "> "Bot I wouldn't make a man a mere drudge, a machine that was fit for nothing except toil. I would have him work with intense activity for short periods and then relax for intervals of pleasure and-study. An employer who studies the welfare of bis workmen knows that he can get 88 much ont of them in nine hours as in ten. A trust doesn't know or care ; it simply looks upon men as machines, and the idea of ever doing anything for the betterment of wage earners would never be considered by a trust." Samoan Trouble Settled. Hat afa Agrees to Abide Commission's Decision. Apia, Samoa, Maj 31. via Auck land, N. Z , Jae 6 -Maltetoa ana Tamasese bave visited tba members of the Samoan commission oo board the United States transport Badger, and Mataafa visited ::hem the following day. Neither of them waa recognized aa king. Mataafa expressed willingness - to abide by tbe oe m mission er ' decision, and blamed tbe Europeans for the trouble here. Tbe commissioners informed him that they had power to 'establish a govaromeot with or without a king Mataafa thought the Samoans should bave a king, bot expressed willingness to disarm bis followers aod leave tbs matter in the baods of the commission. The Germaos acted, for tba first time m many months, with the repr sentatives of tbe other powers, aod have officially sent a guard ashore. The naval authorities aod tbe mission societies have submitted their views to tbe commission, and tbe latter, by proclamation, fixed May 27 as the date for tbe natives to surrender their :.rms. Mataafa. however, asked for an exten sion of the time until today, when he surrendered 1,800 guns on board the Badger. The Malietoaos are now disarmed. The United States croiser Philadel phia, flying the flag of Admiral Kants, sailed May 21, and the British aod German consuls, Mr. B. S. Masse aod Herr Bose, will proceed to Europe Jone 17.

It is earned tb? Japanese are arcing to prevent Russian encroach ments on Japanese interests In China. Help Your Newspapers -The fol lewing is taken from the pen of Dr. Tali.age : "A newspaper whose col- j cmos overflow with advertisements of j bosioess men has more influence ie ! attracting attention to tbe building up \ .s of a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. The ^people go where there is business. Capital and labor will locate where there is an en ^ surprising community. No power is so strong to boiid op a town as a news* paper properly patronized. It will always return more than it receives " Law Respecting Horry. Judge Aldrich Bestows Well Merited Praise. Conway, Jaoe 6.-The case of the State vs. George Morrel and Daniel j Chestnut shows that Horry means to I maintain her good reputation in regard ' to lyooh law. It will be remembered ; that some time durog hst ? pring these negro boys broke into and attempted to jenter the boase of Mr. Snity, at Socastee. with intent to commit rape oo two white girls The young men of the neighborhood pursued rbe fiends to their biding place ic a swamp, where they were captured aod compelled to confess the deed. Although advised that ynohiog was proper, tbese youog men quietly lodged their prisoners in jail to await trial. Before passing the life seotenoe Judge Aldrich said : "Aod just here I wish to say to the good people of Horry county tbat in tbis instance you are deserving of the highest praise aod commendation of the people of South Carolina and of all this broad laud of ours. You are noted for being a brave people physi cally. There are no people on earth braver than the people of Horry county. That is the reputation you have made for yourselves in war aod in peace ; and therefore that the law io this coun ty was resorted to io the doe adminis tration cf justice means much. You (to the prisoners) violated the law io desecrating a pore nome among a brave people, and yet the bravery of the people of Horry county was adorned by that higher virtue, a love of law, a desire lo see tbs law enforced io its due and orderly course of administra tion, bravery over aod abave the instincts of race, of anger, and oo 'lyncher's baod was called opeo to protect the rights of the citizens of this oouoty. These youog meo who arrest ed you, youog meo io the flash of mao hood, io the dignity of American citizens, with a reverence for law whioh characterizes all pure meo, brought you here and incarcerated you io jail, from which you were brought to trial in a oort of justice, before a jory drawn according to law, duly tried aod duly convicted. Such a spectacle is worth a thousand lynchings "Lynch law meaos the destruction of law. Behind the hand of the lynchers may be the power of Sampson, but io the exercise of that power they pull down the temple of justice opoo the beads of themselves and their families and their posterity ; and in plaee of peace aod order, civilization and Chris tianity, they would hurl the oouotry into the lap of barbarism. **A iaod without law is a iaod without liberty, aod a Iaod without liberty is a land where the powerful oppress the weak, where might makes right, and the only refuge for the humble aod the poor is the courts of the land. In place of that io Horry eouoty, every mao cao walk freely abroad, and every house, be it ever so humble, is protected even io the still hours of the night by the uoseeo bot aii-powerfoi protection of the laws of the State of Sooth Carolina, and the people of Horry county have set a noble example, an example that will find respect io the hearts and conscience of every man who has iearoed at his mother's koee the precepts cf a law. It will command the respect of every citizeo, of every thoughtful man aod woman who io the progress of their edooatioo have Iearoed to love, respeot aod revere the law." Cotton Crop Movement. Nsw Orleans, Jooe S -Secretary Hester's analysis of the cottoo move meot for cine months of the sesteo, from September 1st to May 31st, stows that oompared with the crop movement of last year Texas, ioc udiog Iodiao Territory, has brooght into eight this season 446,000 bales more, while other Golf States, which include Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ten nessee, Missouri and Oklahoma, have marketed 423.000 bales less, and the group of Atlantic States, whiob in cludes North aod South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Vir ginia, shows a decrease of 114.OGO bales.

The Kind You Have Always Bough! Bears the Signature of Big Fire in Augusta. Heart of the City Was Threat ened With Destruction. Augusta, Ga , Jone 7.-Tbe largest fire in Augusta's history in many years barned over the same distriot that was swept seven years ago when the Augus ta Chronicle was buroed Several buildings that escaped at that time are now smoking ruins. The fire started io the drug store of Davenport & Phinizy. A negro was mixing a pot of Venice turpentine, which is hard rosin melted and mixed with turpentine. Fire got io the pGt and (he fi mes spread so rapidly that emploves in the front part of the store barely had time to escape. Smoke issved in dense volumes from the back and front of the store Owing to the oil, paint and chemioais in the stock, it was seen from the beginning that it would be fortunate if this fire was con fined to this building The flames mads quick headway, and in a short while the following stores were barned out : Kress & Co , five and ten' ceot store, ioss 10,000, insurance $7,000 ; Lamkin & Co , grocers, loss $7,000, insurance 5,000; Thomas-& Barton, musical instruments, bioycles and furniture, ioss 24,000, insurance 24.000 ; Alexander Drug Co , loss $17,000, iosuranoe $17,000 ; Davenport & Phinizy, loss $24,000, insurance $22,0000; Stoib & Co., liquor dealers, loss about $5,000, insurance about 3,000 ; Smythe, china store, loss about $7.000, insu rance $7 000; Wm. Schweigert, jeweler, loss very slight, folly covered by ic6araoce ; August Dorr & Sons, tailors and furnishers, loss on stock $10,000 folly covered by insurance The buildings barned were valued in the aggregate at about $150,000 ; iosuranoe about $75,000. Besides these there were a number of smaller losses, as the upper stories of the buildings were used as offices, making the total loss in the neighbor hood of $250,000. Savannah and Macon were telegraph ed to fer assistance, and tbe Central railroad had special trains io readiness to briog engines and hose wheo word was sent that the fire had exhausted itself. Dering tbe height of the excitement 10,000 rounds of cartridges io tbe armory, which was also barned, began to explode, and for about an boor there was a fasilade of shots that eoonded like a real battle Great flakes of horning embers were carried by a high wind a block away, and two or three frame buildings were burned, adding about 5,000 more to the losses. Three cotton warehouses were on fire at various times, but were fortunately saved before the flames got headway. Tbe entire departmeot was fighting the original fire, and bad it not been for tbe vigilance of citizens in watching and protecting their property the loss would have gone into tbe millions. Bucket brigades were on top of every building for several blocks around the neighborhood of the fire. New Ailment. The doctors have discovered a Jiew disease. They call it the "silk petti coat wrist," and with all kinds of enthusiasm are looking for its germs The "silk petticoat wrist" attacks only young women It is felt as a stiffness or cramp in the affected part. What causes it is the habit young women have of holding up their skirts Why they do this no one knows, for, though the doctors whom they consult always ask them why, they seem unable to give any reason. But as by an odd coincident they are invariably wearing petticoats of silk when taken sick, that garment has become associated with the name of the malady. Some specialists hold that there is a subtle kinship between the "silk petticoat wrist" and the "ankle cold." The latter disease confines itself to young men. It attacks them when, on sitting down, they thoughtlessly pull up their trousers very high, forgetful of the fact that their extremities are thinly clad.
