Son+omhov 1 fith. ! snut uuwn ma ouvpo wwywvi?Mv* Henry Ford has a good deal to say. Nothing he says is of more signific ance to the public (and when we say the public we include the strik ers and the "struck",) than this paragraph: "It is all a conspiracy to fleece the public. I believe both strikes?the railway and the coal strikes?are conspiracies between Wall Street and the la i bor unions. I do not mean that union working men as a mass are conspiring, but I do mean that their leaders are. I be lieve labor union leaders are working in close co-operation with the railways and mine own ers." Tf has hppn charged and often charged that the miners and the op erators of the mines were in a con spiracy to help each other. The oper ators of the mines were getting coal out too fast for profitable consump-j tion. That was shown by the amount of coal on hands when the strike came, as well as by the price which coal was bringing last spring. If ai coal famine could be brought about' the operators would reap a rich*re- j ward in the way of higher prices, and of course the mine owners would not object to paying bigger wages if the price of the product could be doubled. The same calculations may have" been made with regard to the rail road strike. It may have been con sidered that sooner or later the peo ple would grow tired of traffic being nn anrl rlntnonH fViof +VlO frainc WIVU UjJ C\tlU U^iltUllU CUC4W ViUXiW run. Perhaps the people would be willing in order to get the trains to running again to consent to higher .'reight rates, which would enable the railroads to pay more wages. After all, if such be the case, who would get hurt except the people who buy the coal and pay the freight. Neither the railroads nor the miners would lose in the culmination sug gested. Whatever be the truth everybody knows that most of those who are on strike are not going to make much out of the strike. The shopmen, it appears, are willing for the present / to accept the wages fixed by the La bor Board, if only certain seniority rights are respected. They have al ready lost more than they could make in two or three years if the old scale of wages were restored. They are not going to gain. But the railroads may gain in higher freight rates, and the coal mine owners will gain in higher priced coal. The labor leaders will swing around the country in Pullman cars talking about what they have done, undertaking to justify their existence, and to keep up the good old days when they meet at the best resorts, stop at the best hotels, smoke the best cigars, drink the best liqjor, ] lA. iL. 1 3 *jiu cuaxge 11 up to me oruer, anu all this at high salaries. Perhaps after all Henry knows I what he is talking about. A good many people believe he does. * NO BONUS GAG IN THE SENATE There will be no gag rule in the Senate of the United States while the bonus bill is under consideration. The advocates of the horizontal t bonus will have opportunity to tell in the Senate why they want to pile $5,000,000,000 more of debt on the already burdened American people. The opponents of the horizontal bonus will have opportunity in the Senate to expose the menace of the scheme. The American people will have op-' portunity to hear the defense put forward by legislators who, when national economy is a patriotic duty, are willing to put a price tag on patriotism itself for the sake of a few votes in primaries or at the general election. This is a fine thing. It means that no Senator will be able to say with truth that he was not informed as to the exact meaning of the proposed horizontal bonus to the United States TViovu jiv/> United j ana to its peupic. - Status Senators of both great politi cal parties who scorn to traffic for votes with the puiblic's money, men like Borah among the Republicans and William among the Democrats, who will tell the truth about the bonus. This concession of full public de bate in the Senate has been wrung from bonus statesmen by aroused public opinion?the aroused public opinion which has demonstrated in the primaries how utterly ignorant jf the American soldier those politi-1 :ians were who thought he could be sought with a horizontal bonus. That aroused public opinion, American opinion, has changed the atmosphere in which bonus states men live. They have begun to feel the anger of outraged constituencies, the wrath of a betrayed people.? New York Herald. MANSE BURNED rhe A. R. P. Church at Prosperity Suffer* Los* by Fire. The following from Fayetteville (Tenn.) Observer will be read with interest hv the friends and relatives in this county of Rev. M. T. Ellis: "Last Friday night at Prosperity the manse was burned. It was a large two-story residence and was uninsur ed. It can not be replaced for $3,500 "The pastor, Rev. M. T. Ellis, and family were at service and had gone to the church bare-headed. Every thing the family possessed was burn ed. Among the things lost was Mr. Ellis' splendid library which had been accumulated and selected thru a number of years and of course he had quite a number of valuable vol umes which it will be difficult to re place. The belongings of the family was a total loss as there was not a dollar of insurance on it.

Alio- 98 _1 (tjl* IwVo . > - . DOVE SHOOTING WILL BEGIN SEPTEMBER 1. Richardson Gives Data on Efforts to Assist Hunters in this State.-? Two Different Laws. Dove shooting in South Carolina will begin September 1< this year, ac cording to a ruling of A. A. Richard son, chief game warden, who has reached an agreement with the fed eral authorities for this date and also under the federal migratory bird treaty act Mr. Richardson Will allow shooting to begin on this date. In reply to a letter of H. G. Holley of Aiken, the chief warden outlines his position and explains his ruling. His letter follows: "I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 24, in re open season for doves. "I can readily understand and re cognize your claim as to doves being a non-migratory bird, yet by an act of congress they have been made migratory and any one killing them in violation of the federal law will suffer. "I have made the ruling that the dove season will open September 1, and, in doing so, made this ruling for the benefit of the dove hunters of South Carolina. "Last year, under the state law, a person could begin shooting doves on August 15, and at the same time the federal authorities had the right to arrest such a hunter who killed doves prior to October 16. After a great deal of correspondence and personal interviews with the author ities in Washington, I got them to agree to let the dove season open September 1, with the understand ing that I would use my influence to have the state law conform to the federal law and open September 1. "The code commissioner, in the code of laws of South Carolina, 1922 Volume II, sets forth under Section 548 that 'the open season for doves shall be from October 15 to Januan 31 of each year.' This code, having been adopted by the legislature, this law would supersede all other laws and my hands would be tied were i1 not for the fact that in the same code, under Section 559, the com missioner sets forth that 'the feder al moratory bird treaty regulations being the supreme law of the land under Article VI of the constitutor of the United States, are hereby de clared to be the law of this state and the penalty for their violation shall be punishment of not less than $10 nor more than $25 fine, or 3C days imprisonment.' j "You will, therefore, see that, as head of this department, it is option al with me which section of the 1922 code shall govern dove hunting; and for the best interest of all parties concerned, I have ruled that Section 559 will cover the dove situation and said season for shooting doves in South Carolina will open September 1 and close December 15. "In Georgia and some of the other Southern states the dove season does not open until November 20, and in many other states of the union there is no open season at all. You will, therefore, see that we have much to be thankful for along this line. "A. A. Richardson, "Chief Game Warden." The open season for all game birds and animals in the state is as fol lows: Deer, bucks only, September 1; bear, mink, muskrats, opossums, ot ter, rabbits, raccoons, skunks and squirrels, October 1; fox, September 1; blackbirds, October 1; wild tur key, Thanksgiving day; doves Sep tember 1; wood or summer ducks, no open season; migratory ducks, j coots, snipes and gallinules, Novem |ber 1; rails and march hens, Sep tember 1; plover and yellow legs, September 1; woodcock, November 1; reed birds may be shot from Au gust 15 to Novembber 15 to protect rice crops; meadow larks may be killed to protect crops from Novem ber 1 to April 30; partridges (bob white), Thanksgiving day. # Cigarette Fire Fatal.
