This interesting hody of men and women (mostly women) spent live days most pr ditahly and very pleas antly in annual session at Spartan burg last week. These meetings are looked forward to from one session to the next and are growing in interest. No better place than Spartanburg could he found for their annual gath erings. and in Spartanburg, f'onverse College suits exactly. President Wilson is all courtesy and meets each with a friendly grasp of the hand and a cheerful word. The teachers appeared all in deep earnest, and were not slow in ex pressing their views.

IS!H. WE ARE THANKFUL. The South has passed through a severe ordeal. The late war left her under changed conditions. Accus tomed to have others to work for her she had now to work for herself. Self help is ev« r the best help and out of it has arisen the New South. The tide of immigration that has continually Mowed Hast and West to our shores has brought on its crest the worthless, the thriftless, and the morally impure, hut thank- to a pro tecting Providence the tide swept above our latitude. Then we were sorry, now we arc glad. In this we have something to he thankful for. The South still needs men who are men indeed to till her soil, devclope her mineral wealth and add to her resources, but better, far better, re main as we are. depending upon our selves' developing from within as we have been doing for this quarter of a century, than have among us those who would corrupt our youth, disor ganize our labor and imperil our civi- li/at ion. I’util the general government shall exercise a wise surveillance over t hose w ho come to our shores, he they 11 u n- garians. Italians. Spaniards. Japan ese or t’hinese. we must expect socialistic and anarchistic sentiments to be sown with a liberal hand in the wake of the immigrants path. We believe that there are men (not in the South) in the North and West who secret ly rejoiced when the an archist's dagger made P ranee to weep bitterly. Such a man. where're he be. would always turn liberty into license, and has no respect for law. order, or that good government that is protecting their unworthy lives. “The anarchist is almost always a man of evil life, brutish in his in stincts and brutal in his conduct. He tears down what others build, lb eont ributi - not li ing to tin sum of wealth or human happiness." They are enemies of the public peace and in their overt acts should be shown no quarter. Surely to he exempt from such bar barians is something lobe thankful for. THE BEGINNING OF THE END. The strikes in the North and West have already reached vast propor tions. It is not only the topic of conversation.but men discuss the sit- uat ion w it h bated brent h. t'hieago. the head centre of it all. is passing through a severe experi ence, and (Jovcrnor Altgcld who lib erated condemned anarchists through so-called executive clemency, is feel ing tne force of his own rash act. t'hieago has shown her inability to cope suecessfuliy with the frenzied masses that surge unhindered over stockyards and railways destroving, overturning or demoralizing every thing that opposes. A sad spectacle for a civilized, enlightened, progres sive people. I'resident 4 'Icvcla nd net cd prompt I y when the t niergeney arose. His mild reply totiovernor Altgcld’s severe strictures on hi- ordering I'nitcd States troops to t'hieago is not only eharactcristic of the man but shows clearly that he knows what he is do ing. When life and properly, peace and happiness are at slake lovers of order should unite in putting down disorder. It is no time for carping crit ieisni. Already has there been too great delay on the part of the general gov ernment. IHited States troops arc in Chicago none loo soon. If for- hearanee ceases to be a virtue, and it is shown that only sternest measures will be effective.We hope that tieiieral Miles will prove himself every inch of a soldier worthy of his commanding posit ion.
