According to latest accounts, and these are said to be very con servative. seventy-four thousand steel men and fifty thousand miners have quit work, and two hundred and seventy plants are closed. Pittsburg is the storm center, from which the great strike radiates in all directions. Accounts of such disturbances have become so common that they fail to create any great interest to people living at a distance from the scene of trouble, and we mention the facts and figures mainly as furnish ing grounds for a few general re marks. We note first that strikes are in creasing rapidly both in frequency and magnitude. We note also at the same time that they appear to be de creasing in violence and high-handed lawlessness. The accounts from this strike in Pennsylvania, the greatest, it is said, in the history of the coun try, all show that it has been made leisurely, quietly, and orderly. There is no outbreak, no uproar, no depre dations on property. The strikers in obedience to orders from their chiefs, just quietly lay down their implements of labor and march off to their homes by thousands. In fact it is announced from some sections of the strike that the movement is made, not for money but for princi ple—not for higher wages or shorter hours, but for an acknowledgement of labor’s rights. Those facts, in our opinion, are of great significance. They indicate that labor in the United States is more thoroughly organized than ever before, that it is fully conscious of its power, and sure of the ground upon which it stands. Its organization is not yet perfected, but it is being rapidly extended and consolidated and p-omises at an early day to ex tend to every branch of industry and to control every department of labor. Democracy, free institutions, and free education have made such a consummation possible for the first time in the history of human govern ment. So, organized labor is lining up :n tie against organized capital, and powers are facing each other ce, each confident of its re- SUnrcm and of its ability to hold its ground. The whole industrial sys tem must be revolutionized before this contest will cease and our great industrial enterprises will be placed on a safe and enduring basis. Capi tal must sooner or later recognize the rights of labor, and labor must recog nize the rights of capital. Instead of capital's controlling labor, labor is going to control itself, and it will not be long before employers of labor must deal with constituted labor authorities in all contracts and not with individuals as heretofore. This continuous war must cease and we believe it will cease, on some such terms as we have indicated. Capital and labor are necessary to each other. They are twin forces that cannot exist apart from each other. And whenever each shall learn to appreciate the rights end limitations of the other, we believe that a permanent peace can 4>e es tablished without detriment to the interests of either. It might upon the whole be ad vantageous to the owners of large in dustrial establishments to deal with their labor through the authorities of labor organizations. A manufact urer who had employed, say a thous and hands through the agency of their constituted authoriiies on stipulated conditions, would have only to fulfill those conditions to be relieved from further rusponsibility. Such an arrangement would greatly curtail,if not forestall altogether, the gratuitous favors which many South ern manufacturers bestow on their employees, and would thus far oper ate against the laborer. We have little doubt but that in many cases capital is oppressive; we have as little doubt but that io many eases labor is oppressive. There are some enterprises in which the labor ers do not receive their rightful share of the profits; their are others in whicii, from the necessities of the case, they get far more than their rightful share. What is needed and what must be bad, is that these things be understood and intelligent ly and equitably adjusted. We be lieve this will be done, and that It will be accomplished through per fect organization. MOTKS A NO COMMENTS. The great strike is movir^ south wards, and Memphis and Birming ham are involved. Perhaps it is just as well that the issues between labor and capital should be settled now and for all time, though the country.should suiler all the incon veniences of a civil war. While the present stele of things continues, neither capital nor labor can be de pended on, and a State of uncertinty is as bad fo/ business interests as actual culemity. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We should like to know who pays the expenses of those two teachers whom Superintendent McMahan has sent out to the Philippines, and what is the object of their mission. Is South Carolina going to extend her free school system to those islands and plant it under the folds of “the flag?” If so, we shall soon need a State college or two there to refine and elevate into a noble citizenship the swarthy sons and daughters of the jungles and the lagoons. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The community W’as somewhat startled yesterday to hear that the Spartanburg Herald had changed hands. It was soon relieved, how ever, to learn that it was the owner ship and not the management that had passed into other hands. Mr. Harris, the capitalist and a man of business enterprise, has bought it, but Mr. J. C. Garlington will still be the editor, and Mr. P. H. Fike will remain the city reporter. The people care very little who owns the Herald, but it would take them a long time to become reconciled to doing with out Garlington as editor. ♦ ■♦ ♦ ♦ The Kershaw Era commented elo quently and appropriately on our recent editorial on the Poor House. It fully agrees with us that the name is obnoxious and ought to be changed, and further urges that the poor house should be made a comfortable and attractive home for the county’s un fortunates. We hope the Era’s sug gestions will attract the attention of the public and that the subject will be agitated until the poor house shall bedeprived not only of its name, but of all that is obnoxious. The Era justly remarks that it is a rare thing that a county is imposed on by unworthy applicants for relief; and now that our battle-scarred veterans are beginning to find their way into this institution, let it be called “Home,” a “Retreat,” any thing but the poor house, and let it be made the most comfortable and attractive place in the county.

This is in one of the most rapid growing sec tions of the city and will doubtless prove a profitable investment for Mr. Clary. The Infaut Terrible. Yesterday a certain family in Gaff ney had company for dinner. The good lady of the house had gone to a little trouble to provide something extra for her guest and evidently was feeling elated over the fact that her efforts had been appreciated, when a little six-year-old that had been allowed a seat at the table with the visitor astonished the entire gather ing by asking: “Is this Thanks giving or Christmas?” Mother was mortified, but her anger was some what appeased by the answer of the little one to the question of why she had propounded such a query, it being: “I thought it must be Thanksging or Christmas one because you had slaw.” Attention Veteran*!

WOMEN AND SOCIETY. 'All communications to tills column should be addressed to I’. O. Mox 1511.) BALZAu’H IDEA OK THE WOMAN I'ERKEOT, [Kansas City Times 1 Did you ever have tho good fortune to meet a woman whoso voice was so harmonious that it lent to her words the same charm that was so noticea ble in her manner? A 'woman who knew tho secret of silence as well as that of speech, whose words were well chosen and whose diction was pure? In that case you have met a woman whose jests are caresses and whose criticisms never wound; a woman who argues little as she dis claims, but one who knows how to lead a discussion and when it should be stopped. Her manner is easy and jffiant; her civility is never forced ; respect she has turned into a benignant shadow; she never wearies you and she makes you pleased with her and yourself. Her taste and grace you see repeated in the objects that surround her. All things in her delight the eye; the air one breathes there is the air of home. Then too, she is natural; she is given neither to pose of affectation. Her sentiments are expressed with sim plicity because they are sincere. Though candid she offends no one. She takes men as God has made them, pitying those who are wicked and forgiving those who are absurd. She understands age. She is never annoyed, for her tact has made her a clairvoyant. Both tender and light hearted she first aids and consoles. Your love for her is so great that did she err you would justify the error. Mrs. S. M.

BEFORE THE MAYOR. * Colored Man and Wife Up for Scrapping and Two Dusky Ania/.ous Dltta. Wednesday morning Golden Smith, whose name belies bis color, or vice versa (or both), was taxed a dollar or ten days by the mayor for violating the bicycle ordinance relating to the riding of wheels on the sidewalks on Sunday. Golden paid the silver. Yesterday morning there was quite a “dark array” of lawbreakers before His Honor, and the court room was packed with witnesses and spectators. Lum Whitesides, a colored sport who is getting to be quite a familiar figure at the city’s bar of justice, was the first on docket. J^um and his spouse bad had an altercation the night before in which more sub stantial things than “bard words” were used. Lum had gone to the bosom of bis family in an ugly mood on the night of the trouble, and be cause Mrs. Lum did not give to a cer tainty the location of the match box in answer to a demand from her liege lord to that effect, Lum got on his ear and proceeded to "reprove” her for this little deviation from the ac curacy which should have character ized her assertion. The partner of his joys and sorrows, however, was not so timid as to be thus easily in timidated, and instead of falling on her knees and begging for mercy she straightway swooped down upon a stick and proceeded to wallop Lum in a manner that at once proved her to be no novice in the art. She fi nally possessed herseli of a case knife and swore by all that was good, bad and indifferent that she would dissect Lum’s thorax from center to circumference just so sure as he closed his eyes in sleep that night. She declared in court next morning that Lum had dragged her from her bed and choked her almost to the ex tent of catting off her wind; while Lum stated under oatb that he merely slapped her once and that if he hurt Herat all it was in trying to prevent her from hurting him—in that way he “might have choked her a little.” There were no eye witnesses to the affair, and Mayor Littlejohn. did about all be could do under the cir cumstances—be let the testimony of one balance that of the other and dismissed tbem both, after adminis tering to Lujn a sound lecture in re gard to the error of bis ways and warning him against another occur rence of that kind. The next case was against Nora Petty and Albino Wilson, two colored “soiled doves,” for fighting on or near the street. Albino failed to put in an appearance at court and there by forfeited a bond of $7.50. Nora was on hand, but the testimony of herself and two witnesses proved to the satisfaction of the mayor that she only acted in self-defense, and the case against her was dismissed. Opie Agers, a colored girl, was up for stealing an umbrella from a white person in the city. Opie would not speak a word in her own behalf, and the mayor rr ijd do nothing but fine her $10.00 or thirty days on the streets, and she was looked up till her fine could he raised—which, of oourss, was soon done. ids. The Ledge^|PRff£ted to Mr. Hugo Sr Dodenhoff for a quarter of a dozen delicious cantaloupes. They were among the first of the season and were appreciated. Prof. R O. Sams, one of The Led ger’s good neighbors, also sent us some excellent cataloupcs the other day. But Professor is always doing such nice things that we fear we never appreciate them as much as we should. He is a royal good neigh bor and worth a great deal to any body. - Yesterday Mrs. YV. A. Jefferies, who lives three miles south of the city, sent us some of the prettiest tomatoes we have had the pleasure of seeing this year. It is a wonder to us that Allen had not eaten them up before he got to the office with them, but we suspect he was afraid of that better half of his. All these things are appreciated and go a long ways to brighten the pathway of the country editor, whose pathway is not always roses besprink led with dew, but a great deal oftener shavings besprinkled with glue. To Organize a Lyceum, An informal meeting of a number of ladies and gentlemen of Gaffney who are interested in the progress of the community along literary lines was held in the parlor of the Parish Hotel YY’ednesday morning, where they were met by Prof. Gamewell, of Wofford College, who laid before the meeting the advantages to be derived from the organization of a lyceum. Prof. Gameweil was listened to with patience, but on account of a desire to catch the ten o’clock train for Spartanburg, he did not get to stay as long as tbe assembly would have liked. The matter was thoroughly discussed and a committee consist ing of Prof. Lee Davis Lodge, Prof. R. O. Sams, Prof. H. P. Griffith, Col. J. G. Wardiaw, Capt. J. C. Otts and Mr. F. G. Stacy was appointed to look into the feasibility of the propo sition laid down by Prof. Gamewell. A meeting of the committee is to be called shortly and some step taken to give Gaffney the best that is to be had on the lecture forum. Hev. Air.
