In some sections of this great I country of ours a bitter and desper- i ate warfare is being waged between organized capital and organized labor. Those in the management of the interests of vast corporations are credited with having made the * statement that the fight is not so much directed against the demands of labor for increase pay aDd for shorter work days as it is against organized labor itself. It is argued in support of this contention that should capital make concessions to labor in this instance without first breaking the power of labor to enforce i-b demands there is no telling at what time other demands will be made or end. The same argument can be used as effectively in favor of organized labor. If labor permits its strength and power to be crippled, if it allows its organization to go down in defeat, then labor will be at mercv of sreedv capital to be w"",r ?^ n w * abused at tbe pleasure or caprice of the rich. Tbe fight, however, is now on and may those whose cause is just be the victors. The speech of ex-Pre6ident Cleveland at the opening of the Tilden club in New York last Thursday is the all-absorbing theme of conversation in political circles. It was a masterful plea for unity in the Dem- 1 ocratic ranks. He declared that it i was his burning, anxious aspiration j to see before he died: uthe restora- j tion to perfect health and supremacy j of that Democracy whose mission it i is to bless the people?a Democracy true to itself, untempted by clamor, unmoved by the gusts of popular passion and uncorrupted by offers of strange alliance?the Democracy of patriotism?the Democracy of safety | ?the Democracy of TildeD, and the Democracy that deserves and wins success." He advised the complete abandonment of the free silver issue but was silent on the tariff, ship subsidy and impsrialism. John L. McLaurin is still giving some people the nightmare, and various conjectures are made by politicians as to what he will do after his retirement from the United States Senate. During the period he has occupied a seat in the Senate he has been booked for many offices from a Cabinet portfolio down to a member of a law firm of Washington. He is giving his political enemies much concern and worriment as to his future, but JohnDy is laying low and saying nothing. A seat campaign dodge is being 1 worked by the friends of Congressman Johnson by claiming that while the other six Congressman had left their places in Washington to repair their political fences at home this Congressman remained at bis poBt of duty as a watchman upon the tower guarding the people's interest. All this is very nice, but then a political campaign happened not to be going on in Mr. Johnson's district, and furthermore no important matter was nor could not be up for consideration. Senator James K. Jones of Ark., is prominently spoken of as a member of the isthmian canal commission. The conversion of the Senator since his defeat for re-election to progres- i sive and modern politics is amazingly sudden and has called forth considerable criticism from his party asso- j ciates in the Senate. I / The Editor of the Carolina Spartan, who has been out on the roof surveying the Senatoii 1 field, has the following to say of the issues etvolved: "It is not the tariff, however much George Johnstone mi?y harp on it; it is not imperialism, although John Hemphill should declare that from 'the housetops; nor is it HcLaurinism, however boldly John Gary Evans may assert it, but the great issue of the day, the burning 4 " ?^ io Pio TX7lfV\ Q quesuuu ui tuc uuui 10 j. ie, mvu ? big P." The coronation cf King Edward VII, of England, which was to have taken place to day, has been postponed on account of the indisposition of the King. It was officially announced on June 24th that the King was suffering from perityphlitis and has undergone a surgical operation. The coronation ceremonies have, therefore, been indefinitely postponed. London, as well as the civilized world, was much stunned at the news. The white wiDged Angel of Peace overshadows the candidates with the exception of those for Attorney General. StevenecD, the erstwhile coun* ^ _ ci _. i j a T : 8ei lor me oeauuaru xjiur, wuu resigned to become a candidate for Attorney General jumped on Gunter, his opponent, with both feet. This "riled" Gunter who is giving him some telling licks under the robes, which are knocking him out of the race. It is now announced from Washington that the latest news in South Carolina political circles is to the effect that Micah Jenkins will be appointed internal revenue collector instead of George Koester, whose appointment is held up in the Senate. The latest day fixed for the adjournment of Congress is July 4th. Campaign Meetings.

Since the shut down of night work at the factory a number of operatives have left for work elsewhere. Vice President Foster, having left, S. B. Piatt has been made Superintendent of the mill and last week he | was married to Miss Maude Oliver, j of Augusta, Ga. The happy couple are for the present at Rev. N. G. Cooners. They enjoyed a lively j serenade by their young friends of the community. A picnic at the historic "Quattlebaum Mill" was attended by the youth and beauty of the town Thursday last. Dr. W. H. Timmerman is with the State campaign party and will be at home very little till the close cf the canvass. The sad death of Mr. Jackson, by the bursting of a rapidly revolving grindstone, marks the first casuality of that nature that has occuned in this part of the State. Pi of. E U. Shealy, of the Dutch Fork, has been spending some time with fiiends in town and as usual, with those unacquainted with our village, is utterly astonished at Batesburg's size and importance. The celebrated cotton oil trust has decided to erect a plant here and will beein operations at once. Base ball is engaging the attention of the many festive youths and they will probably have to get the Brooklyn, N. Y, team to interest the amateurs of Batesburg?so invincible have they become. Mr. E. Y. Cullum and Mr. G. L. Fink have the sympathy of this town, as both lost an infant child last week. Rev. J. D. Crout is a lonely individual just now, as the better half and the two sweet little girls are off for the summer. Oar town is remarkably healthy just now, still an occasional case of illness is reported.

There will be services held at Beulah church by Rev. Anderson on the first Sunday in July. We wish to see a large congregation. Master Heber Rodgers, the little son of Mr. D. B.
