The Labor ProbleiTV
A northorn paper of note says
that there is a greater demand today
in the South for both skilled
and unskilled labor than ever hefore.
And wherein lies the difficulty
? It is not that there is not
enough laboring material in the
HoutJj. There in. It in becf.use
po large h portion of those who
can will not work. They Imve utterly
mistaken ideas, if any at all,
as to the responsibilities of life,
find through false metods of education
prefer to nhundon tlje farms
pud go to tho cities where they expect
to spend a large proportion of
their time in idleness and live
from hand to mouth through odd
Jobs, and far too much by crime,
f a close estimate of the number
of idle, vicious people who spend
Iheir time in this way in the South
could be made, the figures would
pe astounding to say the least.
Though, this class is by no
means confined to the South.
There are large numbers of them
in the northern and western cities.
It has been said that there are
three ways to get a living, earn it,
l eu it, steal it. If a man doea not
work for Jiis liying, hucI somebody
iloea not give it to him, he will net
it by dishope-t methods. In many
of the cities all over the country
the number of people who do not
earn their living is ipiitp large.
(They l>eg it or steai it. The idea
< f colonizing this gre&t army
pf the cities of the rpral diatriptn
plight be of valpe in the solution
pf tl^e prohlerji, provided the surplus
would agree to bping colonized.
With this ptyn iu successful
operation the lalior problem in
the agricultural sections of the
\Veat as well as the South might

Tillman Liable to a Heavy Fine.
The Raleigh News mid Observer
hold that Senator Tillman, because j
^f bis free use cif deadhead priv- !
i leges in the way of tree passes on !
the railroad* n#d free franks from 1
'lie telegraph companies and free
transportation from the /express1
companies, is "no worse or no better
than his colleagues." That is a
generous yiew to take of flic matter,
but it is not a correct view, us
our contemporary must admit if it '
wijl ouly recall the fact that it was
Senator Tillman himself who made1
tilt? fight .against, the use of free
passes by any officer of the State
government in South Carolina Newji
and Courier.
The News and Observer says;
"Senujo/- Tillman savs that mem- '
hers of congress are 'loaded down
with free passes.' The inter-state !
commerce act forbids free passes
under a penalty 'not less than SI.- J
tJUU ami not more than $5,UUU. I
The Nortli Carolina statutes, which j
our courts en fores, is a verbatim J
copy of the United Slates statute, i
Why is it that no federal district ;
attorney takes steps to enforce the j
United States law? Do federal '
judges and district attorneys ac- j
cept these favors? Any member of ;
congress, judge or any other public
officer who takes them, violates ,
his oath to obey the constitution '
and laws of the United States."
Booker Dined at White Folks' TableMuch
criticism has been heard
during the p-ist ten days over the
action ??f a hotel keeper at liamiet,
N. C., in allowing Hooker Wash- 1
ington and party of forty negro i
men and women to be fed in the
main dining room of the hotel, ,
while such distinguished gentle- I
men as Senator O. A. Devon, Representative
Shackleford, and Joel
Hurt, of Georgia, were iuvited to
take their meal in an improvised
dining room arranged in aside department.
They declined.
The eating house at Hamlet has j
the reputation of being one of the j
best places along the Southern [
railroads, and traveling men say
they never before heard of negroes
being served there.
Senator Bacon and friends were
passengers on a Seaboard train,
ami upon reaching Hamlet, walked
leisurely to the dining room, which
to their astonishment, was oceu
pied exclusively by Washington
and hiH friends
During the meal a number of
the local negroes of Hamlet gathered
around the windows and with
delight watched the movements of
Washington and his friends as
they ate. When they had finished
th" negroes walked out, seated
themselves, lighted cigars and
waited for the train to depart.

Taxes
Governor TTeyward, in im interview
a few (lnys ngo wiih a Clmr*
lotte Observer redorter, had this to
i say relative to "the great,(Ueation"
of taxes; as the most important
matter in this StHte at present:
"We Intel to borrow $.'?00,000 for
current expenses this year,' said
Gov. Hey ward, 'and that should
not Iihw been nocessary. The tax
returns are not at all adequate or
equitable in a very lar<^e number
of eases, or, J may say, counties.
Land in some of the counties is
not returned at more than 2o cents
on a proper value and bank stock
at more than 50 cents, We have
Kood enough laws to remedy this
but we need better machinery to
enforce the laws. Hut we have a
commission now at work, and it is
probable that hy legislative act a
proper remedy will soon bo at
hand."
Peonage in Spartanburg.
E. C. Daniels, a well known
fn rtnAV of KnnrlunKnitif n/?nn ir nn/1
*- ? "fxxil.iuu.n """"V
a man of considerable property,
was arrested a few days ago by
U. S. Deputy Marshal McLane on
the charge of violating the United
States laws against peonage.
The charge against Daniels is
brought t>y C. B. Kirby, who swore
out the warrant, but the complaint
was made by Leonard Brown a 16year.ol
I negro youth, who charges
Daniels with having kept him in
semi-slavery for the past four
years. He claims that for all these
years he worked for the fanner
without receiving recompense of
any kind. Every time he would
leave the farmer would search him
out, severely beat him and take
him back to the farm.
Daniels, it is stated, will claim
that the boy was bound to him for
his minority.

Mr, Ansel mttde last summer, thin

Arrested for Train Wrecking.
It is believed that th? culprit
who is responsible for wrecking
the Southern's southbound train,
No. 35. at (jJastonia about two
weeks ago, is in the meshes of the
law. The prisoner is a white man
by the name of Honeycuttand wan
arrested near Pineville a few days
ago. The arrest was made by Police
Officer Hargett, of Charlotte,
and Southern Railway Detective
Hnney, who at onoe carried Honeycutt
to Oastonia.
Officers have heen working on
the case ever since the wreck occurred,
and ne soon as suspicion
pointed to Honeycutt, they went1
to work to locate him. The evi- !
deuce im Buid to be strong and a
conviction is expected.

of Police Jones at Shelby, N. 0..
has been captured at last. Chief

it lias developed that Hnm Bullard
was none other than Jim Dowry,
the murderer of Policeman Jones
at Shelby, N. C . about two years
ago, and for whose arrest rewards
aggregating $800 were offered.?
Lancaster Ledger,
Banks Should Advertise.
Soliciting business through the
medium of newspapers and other
advertising, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel, is coining to be a matter
of course in every well regulated
banking institution. That it ir
true there is no reason to doubt
after hearing what representative
men in ni tendance upon the State
Bankers' Convention had to say
on the subject.
Fifteen of them were asked for
their opinions on the subject of
advertising from the viewpoint of
of the present day, and not one of
the number had audit to aav that
would be discouraging to the Hnancier
who is reaching out
through the medium of printers'
ink for more business.

Borrows $10,000 More.
As was announced some days
ago, the State of South Carolina
will have to borrow the full $800.0J0
allowed by law for general expenses.
The State treasurer has
made arrangments to l>orrow $10,000,
which runs the total borrowed
so far up to about $200,090. There
are yet four months of the Hscal
year and there is no doubt but
that the full amount will have to
be borrowed before that tiiua;

its delinquent subscribers:
"Last week a delinquent subscriber

R. G. JOHNSTON IN JAIL.
Fort Mill's Chief Marshal to Se Tried
for the Drowning of J. R. Norijoan.
.Contrary to the belief of many
tlint the drowning of J. R. Noruinn
w.o^ld not become a wattejr for
investigation by the courts, it now
looks as if the case will he finiv.li
in evidence when th.e court con-'
venes again. This conclusion is
baaed upon some vpry important
and unexpected developments enuring
the past few days.
There was considerable excitement
<>.n Abe streets Friday morn-1
int? when it became known .that
thiorijf John R. Logan had arrived
from York vi lie at an early nmjLad
placed under arrest Cpicf of Police
Jl. 0. Johnston. The niiept .vh|
made under a warrant j?vroru out
bv Coroner Loutliian at Yorjcvjlle.
The Times reporter did ijot see
the warrant but is informed that
the charge was to the effect that
Johnston was responsible for Norman's
death, in that Norman had |
gone into the water thorough fear i
of heimr iniured bv Johnston's
bloodhound.
Upon being arrested, Mr. -Johnston
resigned hb town marshal and
accompanied the sheriff to Yorkville,
where he was committed to
jail. Il is understood that Johnston
will apply for bail, but ns this
will have to be made before a
judge, it is not known when this
action will be taken.
Further than tips the^e ^
to say, except that the member# of
Norman's family have employer)
Attorney \Y. B. Wilson, Sr., of
Bock Hill, to prosecute the case.

A young man who had been a#
assisted away from the home of a
girl whose society he yearned for,
wrote the next day to the cruel
parent as follows: 4'1 did not mind
what you said to me, though your
language wais pretty rough, but
when you kicked me with that No.
11 boot you hurt my feelings. 1
shall make no further effort to win
your daughter, for if she inherits
your style of feet and any of your
veisatiiity in using them, 1 f?el
