~H. AULL, EDITOR. Ent-!red at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. The Strike Settled. The packing house strike has been called off, and while it is announced that it has cost the unions several millions, and the packers more than it has the unions, it does not appear who has been gainer by it. Certainly the people who eat meat have not gained anything. It is up to them to pay the losses sustain ed by the packers, and the packers will collect it sooner or later. It is always so with strikes affect ing the output of any of the necessi ties of life. If the strikers win, and get higher wages, their employers raise the price of the commodity enough to cover the increase in wages as well as the losses through inactoft. If the employers win, it is simply the cost of inaction which the coristimer, must stand. But in either case, it is the public in gen eral thaf fobts the bills. No matter who wins, the great majority loses. Strikes should be only resorted to as the very last resort; and not until both employers and men have ex hausted every possible means to bring about an amicable settlement through. -arbitration. A big strike means - Waste, all, the way ar6und; and we have more than once seen how a protracted strike may mean cruel suffering. It is a difficult mat ter to make the public believe that the majority of them are not pre ventable if both employer and em ploye afe really willing to meet on the business like basis of arbitration. -Atlanta Journal. Neither party gains anything by a strike and it is awful hard for the poor man, to go up against the money power. There should always be amicab>le 'relations between labor and capital gnd their differences shouldi be settled without strikes. I1 is a fact, however, that the tendency of human nature has always beers for thes str ong' to 'oppress the weak and -money being the strong power in this..land;.is,as a rule, over-bearing Aind the poor fellow by whose labor * these large fortunies are made has that -spark .of independence in hin which at times rebels at the oppres sion. -But it is better, if possible, to settle the trouble without strikes, for there' is loss in the end to thc striker. Ue has to secure the nec essaries sof life by his labor, and in this case he will have to pay the loss to the trusts by 'the increase in the price of those* things he must have. "Rough:-RidersW'nVirgiia 'and"Be fore Da Cfubs" in Georgia the pur fore Dy Clubs" in eGorgia, the pur pose being the same, to burn houses and stores and rob the same, seem to porteig race trouble in the not dis tant future. -We believe it was Thomas Jeffer son who- predicted the freedom of the slaves as for back as 1821, and at the same time he said that being *free and enjoying the same rights under the government the two races could not live together. The first part of the prophecy has been fulfill ed. The latter will be. We believe the final'soletion of this race problem must be the seperation of the races. Amalgamation is impossible. The difference is too great. The crime of the igth century was when with freedom came the franchise. This has been admitted by some of those *who were instrumental in giving the suffrage to a- race that had been in slavery for generations arid who for lack of training and education were entirely unprepared to exircise 'it. These "Rough Riders" and "Before Day" clubs can only result in deteri ment to those who are organizing them. In any conflict between the two races in the south there can be but one result. No one knows this bet ter than the negro, and he should go along and attend to his duty in the sphere which is his and he will be given justice by his white brother. We have very little patience with those who see the "nigger in the wood pile" on every occasion and who, therefore, are trying to arouse race prejudice. It will all work out for the best and in the right way, and trouble is hastened by such organiza tions as those in Virginia and Geor gia, and by the appeals to prejudice of some of our small politicians. WONDERFUL DENTIST. Pulled Two Million Teeth With His Thumb and First Finger. There has been much weeping and wrailing over the death of-a dentist, but there are dentists and dentists. and this one was a Roman favorite. Of immense stature, gowned in the robe of- his. order, this monk-dentist had established himself on the island in the Tiber, where he did his work in the open air in the little garden at tached to his monastery, and for nothing. His- favorite instruments were his thumb and first finger. "Let me see! Is the pain here?" he would say, and before: the victim was aware of what was happening a tooth was held up to his view. "I have drawn 2,ooo,644 teeth," he said shortly before his death, "most ly Roman," he added. "If you do not believe me, look under the table." And there, to be sure, was three large coffers full of teeth. "And that is not all, by any means. Many of my patients drop them into their pockets as souvenirs." However, his clients were not all humble. He took great pride' in showing the photographs of well known people, their pictures with au tograph signatures. Among these were Leo XIII, and several local cel ebrites. One day during the pontifi cate of Pius IX, he was called to the vatican to draw the tooth of a high prelate. The Pope, who had never seen him, had him called to his pres ence, and after some conversation, said: "Dear brother, I should like very much to have a tooth pulled by you-" - "Oh! Holy Father!" "But it is impossible.". "Oh! Why?" said the monk, disap pointed. "Because," continued the Pontiff, tranquilly, "I have none left to pull.' Advertised Letters.
