Intelligent work we think is going to make itself felt more just now than at any other time during the season. All of us may lose after doing $he best we are able, but we do not think so. We 1 should keep up the fight. In this connection we must say that it is discouraging to hear intel- ? ligent men doubt the wisdom of ap- c plying the poison, and it is more dis- t couraging to hear the talk about i people being killed and live.stock be- $ "? ?

The 5 law officers, we assume, do not either provoke, or attempt to conceal evi dence as to the parties responsible for these outbreaks. The leaders of s the strike say that they are opposed to violence and are ready and will e ing to cooperate with the law-officers in "n ro von finer AiifVivonVQ " " h We are prepared to believe that ^ the greater number of those on . strike do not advocate the use of r violence, but there will ba misguid ed persons within their numbers and sympathizers who do re sort to violence. Such per sons bring more d^credit on organized labor than anything which can happen. The best way for the leaders of the strike to save them-i?' selves from condemnation by the pub-1 . w lie on account of these outbreaks is to seek out along with other law-j "^Biding citizens those persons who ^ are breaking the law and to turn them over to the courts for trial. It ^ is as bad morally to cdnceal a crime!, as it 19 to commit one. If people are ' to be deprived of their constitutional i C( right to work where, how and when ^ they see fit through force, those who profit'by it are as bad as those who commit the offenses. And it must ^ be understood that we cannot live u under the constitution when men are 7 deprived of the right stated. Should Make Themselves Heard. The disposition of the Clinchfield railroad is arousing considerable in- S terest in the Piedmont section of South Carolina. The Abbeville Press j Tk x ana oanner quotes expressions vi The State with approval and is em. ^ phatic in its declaration that the ^ Clinchfield should pass into the ^ hands of the Atlantic Coast Line or Seaboard Air Line if it should be c sold. It says: "Then again, were the Clinchfield Q to be turned over to the Atlantic j, Coast Line railroad we might hope j that more and better trains would s be put into operation over the whole system. The Charleston & Western ^ Carolina railway, connecting with the ^ Coast Line in Augusta and with the ( Clinchfield in Spartanburg, mignt De come a part of a great trunk line for ^ carrying both passengers and freight between points on the Clinchfield and Southern points. At any rate such a disposition of the Clinchfield, in our judgment, would mean much more to this section than the disposal of that * road to the Southern railway. The ' same may be said with regard to the i icquisition of the Clinchfield by the seaboard Air Line." The "trunk line" would haul trains lot merely from points on the Clinch leld, the terminus of which is Elk iorn, Kentucky, but from the whole ;erritory north of the Ohio river and south of the Great Lakes. Passenger ;rains perhaps would be operated from Chicago to Florida over the ines of the Clinchfield and Charles ,on & Western Carolina, the latter low being under the control of the Atlantic Coast Line. While this de velopment is conjectural, it would be tltogether probable in the event of he Coast Line acquiring the Clinch ield. The prospect of the sale of the ^linchfield is not immediate but it yould be unfortunate if it should be old without free discussion of the natter by the people in the districts nterested. While the cities and towns if Northwestern South Carolina are, ^e. think, unanimous in opposition to i ts allocation to the Southern Rail way company, they should make heir preference known so that the nterstate Commerce Commission hall be informed of it. Every news >aper and chamber of commerce in he Piedmont should speak, as The 'ress and Banner has spoken.?The State. NEW CHURCH OPENED rhe Rev. W. H. Murray Conducts Revival Service* Greenwood* July 18.?Lowell Street Methodist church, said to he me of the finest mill churches in his section, was formally opened or services yesterday with the ibe ,inning of a revival service -by the lev.
