THU Y. DEC. 4. 1919. Backbone Needed. The government needs to show its backbone in the future dealings with those involved in the coal strike, and it needs to be exhibited with equal plainness to operators ' and operatives. Both have assumed an indefensible position in the matter of coming to a reconciliation. Both want the world and refuse to be satisfied with anything else. The government has tried many plans of mediation and failed in them all, not so much because of any falsity about the plans themselves as because the miners and operators are unbending in their original positions. Dr. Garfield who has been put in charge of the problem is showing a new brand of authority and the public, whose envov he is in this crisis, will not fail to give him however much support he may call for. He has said that the people of the United States are going to have coal and we hope he will stick to it. That's what the people themselves are saying. That represents their demand. They are determined to have coal, to keep their industries going and the fire aglow in the households, rather than to bow down in humble and abject slavery to a band of. workers and to a band of capitalists, who nave lost'all sense of their relation to their fellowmen and are out to make all they can, regardless of public interest. The fight has been declared. The lines have been drawn against the masses of the 1 *1 ! peopu*. ana trie masses ar? ready to return fire for fire. They have no notion of becoming the victims to as shameless a species of autocracy as has ever raised its hideous head in any land. ?Charlotte News. Buy Red Cross Seals and help fight tuberculosis. Democratic Leadership Fight. Owing to the recent death of the Democratic leader in the Senate, Senator Thomas S. Martin of Virginia, a contest has been started for this important post. The principal candidates are Senator Hitchcock, the acting leader, and Senator Oscar Underwood of Alabama. Both are exceptionally strong men and both are strongly supported, and there is likely to be a sharp tight. The important question in the matter is, however, as to whether the President will exert his influence in behalf of one or the other of these contestants. The treaty situation may cause the President to do this, and in that event it may be that he will find it wise to favor the selection as Democratic floor leader of some person other than Senator Hitchcock, in view of the unsuccessful efforts of Mr. Hitchcock in connection with treaty ratification and the further fact that his attitude and statements during the recent treaty fight would probably interfere with the effectiveness of any furthei efforts which he might make to secure concessions from the reservationist Senators.

Giles, the former Rock llill photographer who some ten days ago shot his wife on the streets of Rock Hill, the woman dying at a Rock Hill hospital on Tuesday of last week as a result of the gunshot, wa3 not called in the court of general sessions at York the last week. Giles, it will be recalled, was arrested in Charlotte on Sunday, November 23, and taken to Rock Hill, j He remained there until the ' ' ^ ,.41| . ^ V 1 1 following Tuesday morning and 1 was taken to York jail to await i developments in the case of his i wife who was still alive. The < county officials at York were t notified of the woman's death < just about ten minutes after the 1 grand jury had completed its , work and been dismissed from duty, and as a consequence no action was taken in the case of < the alleged wife slayer. , Giles ( will have to remain in the York jail until the next sessior> of < court. No Warrants Necessary. State Game Warden Glebes, of Columbia, has just rendered a decision to the effect that parties caught in the act of violating the game laws may be , arrested by the game wardens , without warrants, and has mailed out to the several county j wardens copies of this decision. ] Mr. Gibbes says, in part, in his , letter to the county wardens: . A game warden has a right to , make an arrest where the party , is actually caught in the com- i mission of an offense against { the game laws. In cases of in- t lurmauon ana oener or in catch- j ing up with a party after he has | once gotten away, it is necessary ( to swear out a warrant.

With a piano in one room, a punch bowl in the second and a goodly supply of seats in the thind, aty suggestions of school were banished except the blackboards and they looked unreal bordered witn conundrums, bits of songs and frivolous verse. The boys of the three high school grades had been instructed to see that all their classmates attend the first evening session of the school Wednesday from 7:30 to 10:30 o'clock. Needless to say, all assembled at the appointed hour. The first act of the assembled party was to give three hearty cheers for Supt. W. H. Ward who was enjoying his ?first birthday. The students were divided into four groups and each labeled with a miniature pennant as belonging to the No-it-AU Institute, the Do-Little University, the Hard-Nox college or the Dun-More school; with one of their number acting i as president. A grand indoor i .rack meet was staged in which iach college was represented. \mong the events were: Hazing ;he frashman, an aquatic event, iiscus throw, one,yard dash and :he standing broad grin. In the utter event a record was established when a grin measured four and a half inches. The No-It-AII Institute group having' made the best showing in the meet was awarded the grand prize, a platter cont aining a bag pf kisses for each member of the ijioup. Pimento and olive sandwiches were served and free access to the punch bowl allowed which proved smply large to quench the thirst of all. One of lL a 1 1: l A . l Liit; yuung lauies oegan 10 piay th<? piano and a numder of the popular songs were sung. A j turkey conundrum contest was i not difficult enough for the party I so they were further tested in a 1 cartoon drawing contest. Pifrs, i turkeys, donkeys, fords, cats and rats seemed to hard to caricature hut the agriculture teacher proved so easy that all recognized the resemblance easily and that cartoon was awarded first place with that of the English teacher second. This contest lasted until after the hour for dismissal but "Good Night Ladies" had to be sounded before the pupils even thought of leaving. And then, not being satisfied wish the time-honored customs that had already been broken, a precedent was established when the students were loath to depart until their teachers lined up at the door to receive their hearty handshakes ? nd many expressions of the delight end happiness that the evening afforded. ?lfi v Prirpc k/Jim.
