SAILORS' RESPONSIBILITY
While the laws of nations are full
and complete, as a habberdasher
would say, there are yet some inter
national laws to be enacted looking
toward the preservation of life on
high seas.
It seems inhuman that a ship could
see another in distress and refuse to
go to its assistance. And yet if we are
to believe the reports this has been
done more than once.
Any man or set of men who have no
more regard for human life should be
required by law to take cognisance of
and render assistance to any boat in
distress, which they might meet on
the seas, and upon refusal or neglect
to render such assistance, should be
found guilty of a crime.
Human life is too precious a thing
to allow it to be lost when there is
any possibility of preserving it. For
one ship to pass another in distress
knowingly without attempting to ren
der assistance is simply beyond the
pales of civilization, it is unbelieve
able.
Let the nations see to it that an in
ternational treaty is provided by tne
terras of which any vessel passing an
other in distress and withholding aid
shall be found guilty and punished
therefor.
''"ss must be a hard
hearted set to care so little for life.
We are inclined to think that it is not
so much on account of the attitude of
the sailors themselves, however, as it
is on account of the greed of the own
ers, who require quick trips, little ex
pense, and no delay and big profits.
Hereafter let it be known to the
shipping fraternity that they are their
brothers' keeper on the high seas
and that the laws of the nations are
going to require their blood at their
hands and many a life will be saved
that otherwise would probably be lost.

Sanwiched between Blease and
Jones literature in the Piedmont, we
find a very edifying paragraph on dig
ging bait, something new and unique
in that line discovered by Col. Bill
Sherrette. It is a great labor saving
device in bait digging and is as fol
lows:
"You take a broom handle three
and a half feet long" says Sterrett,
"drive it into the spot likely to be
inhabited by angle worms.Leave an
end sticking up about six inches.
1 KaomI on*i nih It
iutJU. m&c a luugu uuuiu uuu ?ww ?
over the top of the broom handle.
This causes a vibration of the earth
and the worms, angry and disturbed,
will work their way out of the
ground. A fellow can get a pail full
of worms in a short time."
"gut, Colonel," asked a reporter,
"doesn't it take work to rub the
board on top of the stick?"
"Get a negro to rub the board!"
exclaimed the Colonel.
It is very clear that Booker wants
to get down to Reedy and flsh for
mud cat and homey heads. You can't
do it, Harold, you've got to stick
Blease and Jones and Wilson and
Harmon and scissors and glue. Its
the price we pay for being worth
while.
No can of bait and fly hook for us
with "areless hours of sunshine and
rest. Only the happy folks can enloy
such beatitude. But we will remember
how to dig bait hereafter any way.
MUST INSPECT LIFEBOATS.
Otherwise Firemen and Seamen Will Re
fuse to Sail.
Liverpool, April 27.?The Liverpsol
brach of the Seamen's and Firemen's union
adopted a resolution today that on ann
after April 29 the men will refuse to sail on
any steamer unless representatives of the
union are allowed to inspect the lifeb.ats.
The union also demands that the flremen.s
wages shall be increased to four pounds
ten shillings (approximately $22J and the
seamen's to five pounds ^or month.
