f SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. f
- s
The Press and Banner is not ready v
to accept as settled all the facts stat- t
'ed in the editorial of The State of
Saturday, under the heading, "The
Worst of Crimes in Georgia." The
Press and Banner believes that the
true facts in the matter would justi- ^
fy The State in bringing a further n
indictment against some of the strikers
in this matter. In the view of the e;
Press and Banner, strikes cannot be
promoted and made successful ex- jc
cept through unlawful force and by
unlawful methods. We, therefore, be-| m
lieve that every strike is more or! ai
less a conspiracy to defy the law.
But it is true, as stated by The g(
State, that not all the men in a giv- ^
en case take part in the violent meth- gi
ods which are adopted. Perhaps ei,
large numbers of them persuade
themselves that such methods az^e not! )C
to be resorted to. Perhaps only a|UI
handful of the many hundreds in- j W(
volved in a given strike resort to 'su
such methods. But, it is equally true,!
as pointed out by The State's edito-.ty,
rial, that all the strikers share the jjr
wages which such methods. are de- ^
signed to command. How then may
a law-abiding citizen give his con-' r
1 V _ . I
* sent to become, or tfo remain, a part1 ac
of an organization which profits byjm
murder and dynamite? That is a ques- j ar
tion which a great many people are;
asking. It is one which the law-abid-l <
ing element in the labor unions mustica
answer satisfactorily if they are to1
. continue to be considered "men of a'0jhigh
order of intelligence and char-1 fr
acter." In every other crime the man; ex
who receives the loot is considered m.
as bad as the man who goes out and
gets it. . , br
The editorial referred to is given er
at length. It should be pondered and mj
considered by everybody. The State
says: # t pu
"No more infamous crinte has ever
been done in the South than the dynamiting
of a freight train on the
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic rail- ^
road, the killing of John Morris, the
* \
engineer, and the injuring of three
trainmen. 'Railroad transportation
1 ' r S6<
has been calle^ a 'key industry.'
When felons attack a train thpv aim
not solely at the men who operate ^
' and ride in it, but at all men, women
. SOI
# and children. If trains can be dynamited,
men, women and children can ^
be starved and left to perish with .
At
cold.
t "The railroad company has offered ?
(a reward of $5,000 for the arrestv of v
the -felons who placed the dynamite v
. and the Governor of Georgia has of- ^
" fered another reward of $500. The
life of the state of Georgia is at stake ^
"Lynching is a' crime evil enough, j ^
*but a man may be lynched in Georgia i V
- without serious interference withjV
the processes by which other men V
live and earn. If trains are to be V
dynamited in Georgia, the decent peo- V
pie of the state would better move V
out and abandon its territory to the V
savages who are content with sav- V
age conditions and can cope with V
them. V
"The strike of some of the railroad V
operators had nothing to do with the V
principle involved in this matter. The V
question is whether the people ofjV
Georgia have a right to travel on i V
railroads and ship and receive goods | V
hauled by them. If an engineman J V
can not run his engine without the j V
consent of other men and must suffer j V
death because he disobeys them, civ- j V
ilization in Georgia is at an end. |V
'"Strike leaders in Atlanta vigor- V
uosly disclaim knowledge of the out- V
rage and J. R. Larrisy, an officer and V.
railroad conductor, declares that the v
union chiefs have sought to conduct
an orderly strike.' We are entirely V
willing to accept those statements as j V
true but it is the business of the^V
union men to see that the strike
conducted in an orderly way.
"If they have pride and faith
their cause, it is for them to ,prot<
it from disgrace.
"Sympathisers with the preside
of the railroad did not kill Engir
man Morris.
f* A 111 AC A/ fli A w AV*/?VnomIC nn/1 ?*

mers who live along the road did r
place the dynamite on the train.
"The union men were not t
guilty parties.
"Who did this deed?
"If the union men have a cau
ivhich they can not separate frc
alliance with the cruelest and mo
:owardly class of murderers, it is
:ause that they can not afford
;upport.
. "If they can not prevent the vile
vretches living from striking tl
'oulest blow conceivable, in the
upjtosed interest, they are place
whether they will or not, in the pos
ion of recipients of . the favor <
hese wretches.
, "What are they going to do abot
V
^'Surely they will not be conter
rith 'vigorous disclaimers.' Surel
!iey will not be satisfied that othe
ten, though unknown to them an
ithout their consent or approva
rigage in a campaign of assassins
on because they have given up thei
>bs.
"Railroad conductors and engine
en are not merely mechanics. The;
*e men of a high order of intelli
jnce and character ,as a rule. Fo
jnerations here in the South the;
ive enjoyed the respect and the re
ird of their fellaw citizens. No oth
class of men is more heartily am
illy trusted. The place that the;
ive won, whether organized ii
lions or not, in public esteem, is
orth a great deal more than th<
m involved in a wage dispute.
"Granting, and we gladly grant it
at the railroad workers along th<
le of the Atlanta, Birmingham &
tlantic abhor the crimes that hav<
ten done, the question arises wheth
they will make that abhorrenc*
tive and effective. No body of goot
en can quietly wrap their cloaki
ound them and accept the wages
rived through murder.
"If a war against Georgia shall b<
rried on by the felons secretly ii
ihalf of railroad operatives. thos<
eratives can not save themselves
om being regarded public enemies
:cept by taking the field against th<
urderers.
"The members of the railroat
otherhoods can better afford to op
ate the trains of the,Atlanta, Bir
ingham & Atlantic at no wages thar
allow their craft to be injured ir
iblic respect."

As a part of the girls' cookinj
program in home demonstratior
ir"|'work, a state wide "Better Biscuil
?^j Contest" is being put on in this
| The preliminary contests will be helc
he at The Ridge Wednesday, September
14 and at Cold Spring Thursdas
September 15. The girls will bak<
se both Baking powder and Soda bis,m
1 'cuit. The two girls from each club
lSt 'making highest score will meet a1
a '"Abbeville at some date in near fu^0!
ture and compete for county prize,
which is a free trip to the district
. contest which will be held in GTeenst
ville September 28-October 1st.
r It is most encouraging to note the
'? keen interest and eiithhsiasm that
the girls are showing. Already many
^ 'girls, have entered. The contest will
first be a county affair, then district,
'and finally state. There will be one
lt girl chosen from each county as the
county winner. The choice will be
?t based upon record, interest and mery
it. The district contest, there being
sr three, will be made up of the cound
ty winners; and the state contestants
1? will be three, one from each district.
1- When the contest closes this fall,
t it is to be hoped that the rural girls
will be excellent biscuit makers. This
s- contest will be followed next year,
y with a statewide yeast bread con
- test.
r There will also tie held a sewfoj
P exhibit, for the purpose of picki
' winners to send exhibit to district
* contest which is to l>e held in Gree *
ville September 28 to October 1.
1 This contest will be open to members
