The great labor strike in Pennsyl
vania is assuming gigantic propor
tions. 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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.
