WON'T WORK FOR NETTLES.
Publisher of Advocate Refuses to 1
Sign Wage Scale.
The Spartanburg Typographical
Union will "rat" the shop of the v
n VN -r-rv. D^intinor fnmTianV T
C5P<ii Idu. u ui fe a 11111,11:5 vumji?, ,
which prints the Southern Christian r
Advocate and is conducted by Rev. t
S. A. Nettles. This was agreed on at a
a meeting of the union held last Fri- t
day night, when it was decided that i
the publisher of the Advocate should r
sign the wage scale, agreeing to pay c
a given salary to each man for a i
special task. i:
This Mr. Nettles refused to do and
stated to a reporter for the Journal 0
Saturday morning that he was not e
operating a union chop, but an open b
shop, but that he always gave prefer- p
ence to union labor. He stated that t
he did not want to tie himself up by s
signing the wage scale, but stated he ii
did offer that, if the union would f
guarantee to keep him a man who
could set 40,000 ems a day, which is j
a fairly good amount, considering the b
/?rmv iind conditions hp would sien n
the agreement to pay this man $25 h
per week. The union refused to guar- a
antee Mr. Nettles service of this kind t
and he refused to sign the scale. a
The trouble arose over a new em- a
ploye who was working for Mr. Net- ^
ties. He was being paid $10 a week, b
which Mr. Nettles said was more than t<
he was worth. The scale price is $16 ti
per week. The union has declared o
that since Mr. Nettles refused to b
sign the scale that he is operating an f<
unfair shop and that when this de- si
cree is taken by the union, then all u
real union men walk out of the shop, si
It is understood, however, that a d
man is still working for Mr. Nettles
who holds a card. Mr. Nettles stated o
Saturday morning that only one man o
left him and that everything was s<
moving along smoothly and he y
scarcely missed the man. He only y
employed two. T
J. B. Felmet, president of the ^
' union, stated that the matter had ij
been reported to the international ei
headquarters of the union and he ex- b:
pected the national officers would or- ti
Pder a strike at this shop until all dif- r<
fe^ences are settled. li
This is the second time that Mr. b<
? Nettles has experienced trouble with
the union. The union men say Mr. w
Nettles is hard to get on w-ith and m
expects too much of them, and Mr. Sj
Nettles said the union men did not p<
"tote fair" with him. as
He says be is willing to pay tne qi
** maximum price for a minimum ti
amount of work, but, according to 0i
the printers, his ideas of "maximum" w
and "minimum" are, to say the least, ^
a bit hazy.?Spartanburg Journal. m
Another Calf.
Ex. Gov. Gillett, of California, at
a dinner in San Francisco recently ^
was praising the gift of repartee ^
which most women possess.
"Against this quick-wittedness,' 1C
he, said, 'we men are powerless. cr

"As an instance, a man whom I
C(
knew was very much displeased because
his wife had bought a few puffs cr
of false hair. He concocted a little
scheme to make a telling expression sa
of his disapproval, and hid in the hall
one day when his better half was
getting ready to make some calls. J1'
Just as the obnoxious puffs were 111
being adjusted he darted into his
wife's room.
" 4Emmelme!' he exclaimed, in a
voice of stern reproach, 'why under g
the heavens do you put the hair of ^
another woman?possibly a dead one ^
?on your head?' 0
" 'Why,' answered his wife, 'do you a]

DIET AND INTELLECT.
veeping Body and Mind in Pit Condition?Soipe
Great Eaters.
Spare living and hard .thinking
rere thought to be almost synonytious
terms and to some extent expeience
seems to have borne out the
ruth of this dictum. Many men,
.nd for the matter of that women,
lave done their best brain work when
nsufficiently fed and clad, and the
emark applies especially to inventus.
It used to be thought that fastng
purified the spirit and made the
ntellect clearer.
This view, however, as have many
if the old time ideas, says the Ditetic
and Hygienic Gazette, has
ieen relegated to the limbo of ex?loded
notions, and it is held now
hat while fasting may purify the
pirit the effect that it has on the
utellect is not altogether of a satisactory
nature.
Undoubtedly overeating has an inurious
effect on the mental powers,
ut on the other hand fasting does
iot strengthen them. Overeating
as a tendency to cloud mental agilty,
but perhaps fasting attenuates
he faculties of the mind. The old
xim that "what's one man's meat is
nother man's poison" holds good
,'ith reference to mind as to the
ody. The amount of food necessary
3 keep body or mind in fit condiion
varies with the individual, and
f course no hard and fast rule can
e laid down. The quality of the
)od requisite to insure a healthy
tate of body or mind is dependent
pon such a large number of circumtances
that it would be absurd to
ogmatize on this point.
Some of the giants of literature or
f other branches in which conspicuus
intellect has shone have been al)
trenchermen of no mean powers,
/alter Scott, Goethe, Luther, Charles
Dr. Johnson were all big eaters,
he great lexicographer, as was his
ont, discoursed to Boswell sapient
r and weigntily on tne suDject 01
iting and according to his faithful
iographer carried precept into pracce
with an unfailing and vigorous
igularity. So much so that in pote
society at least he must have
I
sen regarded as a glutton.
Napoleon ate very fast, a habit
hich caused him much suffering and
iay have been at any rate partly relonsible
for his end. The Little Cor:ral's
table manners were as bad
3 tncce of Johnson, for he was fre- ?'
lently in such a hurry to get done <
lat he would use his fingers in place <
: fork or spoon. His tastes in food i
ere catholic, but he had an especial !
king for Italian macaroni and Par- i
esan cheese and highly esteemed 1
te red mullet of the Mediterranean. <
He must have been the despair of 1
is cook, as he took his meals at any 1
me of the day or night. At night ]
iod was always kept ready for him. 1

ould consume at a late hour. s
Many great men have suffered from (
digestion due to some extent no !
iubt to errors of diet. The influ- i
ice which indigestion has exerted 1
l the course of events cannot be 1
imputed. Battles have been lost,
imes committed and the pen has 1
jen imbued with venom and deadly !

GIANT "ESCAPE" CAPTURED.
Big Bill Surratt to be Returned to
South Carolina.
Washington, June 6.?Six feet,
seven inches tall, with a weight of
about 200 pounds, William X. Surratt,
alias William Broadus, colored,
40 years old, manslayer and ex-convict,
and believed to be the tallest
prisoner ever taken in custody by
the Washington police department,
will leave this city in care of Sheriff
John Coyle for Gaffney, S. C.
Beside the giant prisoner, Coyle,
who is but five feet, five inches tall
and weighs not more than 150
pounds, looks like a midget, but the
diminutive sheriff is armed with
handcuffs and a six-shooter, automatic
revolver, and he declares that
if he does not deliver the prisoner
safely at Gaffney he is willing to ad

mit incapaonity or nuiuing ins uuiue.
Detective Sergt. James Springman,
one of the smallest men in stature in
the central office, arrested Surratt
Saturday afternoon in 7th street, between
P and Q streets, when the
giant wis armed with a razor. When
Springman, alone aEd without any
help in sight, calmly walked up to the
towering man and placed him under
arrest he gave a decisive reply to
the queries as to whether policemen
earn their money, demonstrate bravery,
etc.
Springman hailed a passing auto
and in the machine the prisoner was
conveyed to police headquarters.
There the razor was found in his
pocket. He was disarmed and charged
with carrying concealed weapons
in order that he might be held until
word could be sent to the South
Carolina authorities. Sheriff Coyle
arrived yesterday and will leave with
the prisoner as soon as the proper
papers arrive.
Nine years ago, Surratt, in a dispute
over 10 cents after a game of
craps, drew a knife and stabbed
Ridge Hale, also colored, to death.
Hale was cut in thirty places. Surratt
was sentenced to five years, but
after being in jail a year he sawed
his shackles with a file and escaped.
He has been living in Washington
eight, working as a hod carrier. Since
he arrived here he married and has
two children.
Do Not Make Good Our Claims.
It is pretty hard to convince the
average Northern farmer that we
can grow over 200 bushels of corn
Dn an acre, when the average yield
is less than twenty bushels. The
South will never be in the corn belt
until we make a better average yield
than twenty bushels per acre. Some
af our people are fond of boasting of
the fertility of our crops but those
Sr.*ho know our crop yields per acre do
aot believe our soils fertile. Likewise,
we talk much of the forage we
can grow, but our claims are discounted
by the fact that we buy
feeds for livestock. We boast of our
ability to grow two and three forage
crops per year, out discredit ourselves
by failing to grow even one. It
is true that we can grow two* or
three crops a year on the same land,
but this truth is no value as long as
we buy hay and pay the heavy transportation
charges from the Northern
States.?Progressive Farmer.
Removes a Nickel from Boy's Throat.
Dr. H. R. Black performed an unusual
and rather delicate operation
in the Spartanburg hospital Tuesday,
removing a nickel which had become
iodged in the aesophagus, or gullet,
cf a child.
The three-year-old son of L. K.
Kirby, of Union, put a five-cent piece
' ' - - Al- - 1
into niS mourn a wee* agu lvivuuaj
and by accident swallowed the coin,
[t stuck when about half way down
the gullet, and all attempts to dislodge
it had been futile up to Tuesday.
The child suffered intensely and
was unable to eat anything but soup
and other liquid foods.
Dr. Black administered an anesthetic
and while the boy was under
the influence of the ether thrust a
long instrument down his throat and
extracted the nickel.
The child was at once relieved and
was able to return home to Union.?

A Modern Test.
Rather long was the journey, and
the passengers, from talking cabbages
and other matters of vital interest,
had got on the subject of lies.
"Yes," repeated the man in the
corner, <4I don't think the test of
the cherry tree proved that George
Washington wasn't a liar."
"Well, perhaps you'll devise a better
one?" chorused the other passengers.
"All right," said the man in the
corner. "Supposing now, that George
Washington was standing on a stormy
night at the door of a restaurant,
and the waiter had rushed up to
him with a beautiful new silk umbrella
with an ivory handle and no
name on it."
Then the train entered the tunnel.
WOMEN AT MONTE CARLO.
> Sit Seriously and Solemnly at Tables ^
and Watch Others.
Naturally a woman going to the
> gaming table is interested in her fellow-women.
If she has never been
there before she looks instinctively
' for their horns, hoofs, and even tails, ^
in fond remembrance of Sunday'
school literature on gambling. But
she gets a great surprise, for she
; might almost fancy herself, so far as
dress and appearance go, enjoying a
pleasant Sunday afternoon in a nonconformist
chapel in the provinces,
says the London Chronicle.
Women sit as seriously at the
tables as they might do at their prayers.
And after studying them pretty
closely for nearly two months, I am
inclined to say that if gambling is
at the root of male human nature, it
is also at the branch, bud and bios/N
P f Vl A f A Y"r-> A 1 A t V
sum ui tii^ iciuait.
Women have wonderful luck. jg
While men work out elaborate "sys- M
terns," and sit frowning over figures 2
the mysteries of which would take a
very Napoleon of finance to elucidate,
and then play?and lose, women
simply plank their money on the
number they are "sure is going to
win," and they do win!
It is not at all an uncommon thing
to see a woman sitting against the
wall, her husband by her side waiting
to put pieces on at her command.
While he trots to and from the tables,
telling her what numbers turned up
last, fussing and fuming, and worrying
what to do next, she calmly surveys
the figures she has jotted down,
gives him another "piece" at the a
psychological moment to put on, aftd
her big velvet embroidered bag
grows wider in circumference every
hour. The five-franc pieces are even
hpnvipr anri rlnmsipr fo oarrv than
our crown piece. But she is so thor- M
oughly used to it in quantities she W
does not mind it all, but says: "The ^
heavier the better!"
These ladies play with a sang =
froid, an indifference as to whether
they lose or win, which is only equal- jft
ed by their menkind. I have seen 3
one of the Vanderbilts lose a for- J?
tune in an hour without seeming to
notice it. And I have seen a man
whose stake of 100 francs won him
over $3,000 the next moment have to gft
be tapped on the shoulder by the ?
croupier to pick up his winnings. He
had forgot that he had a stake on!
Good luck and bad alike are taken as w
calmly as a lake receives rain.
It is scarcely in human nature, jft
perhaps, to know when to stop gamb- 3
ling after one has once begun, and
hence all the sad tales of the broken
banks of those who have been to =
Monte Carlo.
The game of roulet itself is perfectly
fair and open and above-board.
Jou know what you may lose and
what you may win to a half penny,
which can scarcely be said of any perfectly
respectable business transaction.
Anything of a shadowy or
questionable nature in the Casino is
due to the human beings in it, not
the games played; and I am sorry to
say that when there is anything
wrong it is generally a case of
"cheerchez la femme."
The officials at the door have instructions
to be very particular as to
the men they will allow to enter.
Even a Duke would not dare to ask
for a card of admission while wearing
a flannel shirt and collar, for instance.
But, judging from the frowsiness
of some women, one would
fancy that in their case anyone can
pass the portals.
Thi9 is the more strange when one
notices that women win where men
lose, and, as I have said, are mostly
at. the root of any evils that arise.
There are women by the side of whom
it is dangerous to play. They will
pick up your winnings under your
very nose, and then brazenly declare
to the croupier they are theirs. This
happens not very frequently, but
sometimes twice or thrice in a day.
The croupier generally pays both parties.
There are women, also, who
make a practice of sitting by men

nings. They must be well known to
the croupiers at least. It is a pity
the porters cannot leave their posts
to look at the tables now and then,
to get to know those persons.
