With a rainy season present the *

whipped is problematical, that is ifi*
s
the rains continue for a great while.1
But it is certain that we will be *
whipped if we do not apply the poison j j
constantly. 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- $

Such talk has no foundation in fact (
and people with intelligence should ]
be able to satisfy themselves that)
these things do not happen. t
GET THE EVIDENCE
As the term of the strike length- s
uns the news of disorders in various *
/ .sections of the country shows that 1
these disorders are increasing. 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.
