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.

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 Case Postponed.
The case of the State against
A. M. 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. We are j
sending you some nrosecution ]
records and law pamphlets under ,
separate cover. " ,
A man does not have to post ],
his land in order to make it un-!,
lawful for parties to hunt on it. i
No man has a right to fish or
hunt on the lands of another .
without permission, but whenever
a man buys a license from ,
us and we find him hunting on ,
the lands of others we take it (
for granted that he has per- j
mission and do not molest him j
unless the owner of the land asl<ls

leaves. 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

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.
