Fall Uiver, Mass., July 24 -Tho strike ot ;10,000 cotton mill operatives ordorod to begin here to-morrow because of tho I " per cent cut in wages announced by tlie manufacturers, promises to bo ono of the bitterest fights ever waged between capital and labor. Tho operativos sny that they caunot possibly livo on tlio re duced wages offered by tho manufac turers and tho spinners in turn say that they can never return to tho wagos which havo been paid to employees. A feature that will add to the suffering from the strike is the poverty of tho operatives. Already ovor a dozon families have ap ?eal ed to charitable institutions for help lannfacturers Bay that this means the strikers will not be able to hold out long, but the operatives say it is almost as well to starve in a fight as to attempt to live on what they term tho starvation wages ottered by the manufacturera.

In our jottings from this placo last week, WO ended up on the old pottery plant, soon to bo revived under the management and proprietorship of James F. Neville, who needs no intro duction to tho readers of The Courier. Intelligent, enterprising, understanding tho business from long experience in it, we foresee and foretell for him a success ful career. COTTON 8K?P OH. M H.t.. On tho south sido of tho railroad, di agonally across from tho pottery and just back of tho Strother A Pbinuoy store, is seen tho cotton seed oil null nearing completion. This is tho initial start for a new industry in this section and a bold venture, requiring a largo outlay of capital for buildings and ma chinery, bul Strother A Phinney have the needful and the enterpriso is hound to I succeed. The mill, built of brick and ? cady for tho roof, is 120 feet long and :5:i feet wide, while tho storage budding, nearby, and very substantially construct ed of wood, is 00 feet long und 50 feet | wide. They already present an impos ing appearance, and when tho now cot ton crop is gat tiered the farmers of this section will have a convenient market for their cotton seed as well as their cotton. Enterprises of this kind build up towns, give employment to laborers, and at tho same time bel]) tho agricultural class, without whoso labor tho world would speedily drift to ruin. A.NOTHRII KNTKHPRWK AFOOT, Tho Stoibrand property, of ahnutaoven ( acres, to which Mis. Paul Gibson foll heir, was recently sold to S. L. Richard son, of Old Pickens, who is about to es tablish a planing mill plant on it, the sec ond of the kind in West Union. Tins place is really getting on a boom, and Walhalla must wake up, or sho may in the end ant?or eclipso by her less preten tious neighbor. A PRBAOIIRR IN I.UOK. Rev. C. I). Mann, on account of im paired health, localed in West Union, at present occupying and owning the Mickler mansion, has purchased a beautiful four aero lot near the I depot on which ho may soon erect a tine dwelling house. < tidy a short time ago ho purchased the Stoibrand property for $350, and then sold it to Mr. Richardson for ivSOO, realizing over 1001 Eer cent on bis investment! This may e considered partly as an evidence of West Union's progress, and partly as an evidence that retired preachers as woll as laymen may succeed in secular pur suits, Wo apprehend, however, that] Brot her Mann may experience ?orno dilli culty lo singing John Wesley's Pilgrim hymn, beginning with "How happy is Uic pilgrim's lot!" Ito may have somo freedom in tho llrst stanza, but whon ho opciiB out on the second "Though I no fool of land possess, Nor cottago in this wilderness," wo fear "hosannas will languish on bis tongue," becauso of tho contrast between acres and mansion with "no foot of land or cottage." If ho should havo occasion to till a brother's pulpit, and this familiar hymn should Ht the text and sermon, we cnn imagino him directing tho choir thusly, "please omit the second stanza " Wo can suggest a way out of the ?lilli culty. John Wesley wns a very great and good mau, yet ho was human, and had his moods and tenses. Ho was in a pe culiar mood when ho composed that hymn, which gavo it an earth-loathing 'and heavon-aspiring cast that it. would not havo possessed had ft been written under other circumstances. Ho loved a lady that did not reciprocate his atten tions. Not wishing to ho tho wife of an ?lenci ant preacher without a homo, she declined bis offered hand and heart. It made him very sad and gloomy for awhile. Then by prayer and great will power bo became himself again, and in a sort of costany of soul composed tho fa mous pilgrim hymn. In it he presRes analogy unduly, making poverty, home lessness, a wayfaring lifo, contempt of earth, and heart only in heaven the characteristics of tho true Christian pil grim. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were all pilgrims and they were all rich. Jacob had a "trust" on ring-streaked and speckled cattle! These and all the Old Testament pilgrims wet o imperfect men, who developed n.ost Burntly lives in their latter days. We suggest therefore that Brother Mann and everybody oise omit not only tho second stanza of tho hymn in ques tion, but tho whole hymn, and all others that rio not contain the element of prayer, praise or thanksgiving to God. J. a. Safeguard the Children. Notwithstanding all that IS lone by boards of health and charitably inclined persons tho death rato among small chil dren is very high during the hot weather of the sum me: months in the largo citios. There is not probably ono csso of bowel complaint In a hundred, however, that I could not be cured by tho timely uso of I Chamberlain's Collo, Cholera and Diar rhoea Romedy. For sale by J. W.
