TO MOVE ITS PLANT.
The International Harvester Com
pany is making good its threat against
Aubuin, N. Y. Three carloads of
machinery from the twine mill that has
belonged to the trust since it absorbed
the works of D. M. Osborne and Co.,
ten years ago, and which had been an
important industry of the town for
ten years before th:\t time, were shipped
away last week.
They were billed “For Foreign Ship
ment,” to C. F. Gregory, an export
Weehawken. For anything
to the contrary' that is to be learned
here the machinery is to go on to
Germany forthwith.
'^ 'This is a result of a strike that
beltan ' * in- March when 700
employers ^uit work and demand
ed terms that the Harvester
people thought improper. Thus
- the walking delegate is at last
getting in his real work.
The leaders of the strike concede
that the company has literally wiped
the plant out of existence. The em
ployees themselves have accepted the
issue ds being so definitely lost to them
that their flight- from Auburn has
already begun. Auburn is facing a sit
uation that involves much more than
the closing of the twine mill and the
loss of the $1,000 a day its employees
received in wages. The continued
operation of the Osborne works seems
to be at stake. These works employ
3,000 men, and on their wages fully
one-half of the town depends. If these
wooks should be closed Auburn would
suffer infinitely more than “injury to
reputation.”
We have for j^ears insisted
r that Congress, create an arbitra
tion board to which all disputes
between lab r and capital be
submitted and settled, but. Con
gress in its weakness and fear
is neglecting to do this thing,
and’lthe result is that there is
going on a rapid conversion of
thousands of people to socialism.
Unless there is some ch^pge for
the better, some methods of
adjusting the acute friction
between capital, and labor that
is developing, at different points,
we are going to have trouble in
many of our big cities, such as
perhaps you have read about.
leader of the quantrel gang, But |
Blease is not ai,d acciient, he is
a creature, of an ignorant and |
perverted citizenry, ignorant I
from birth, but perverted by his
false and vicious misleading
lies, appealing to their predudice.
If any State i» the Union was
evet* bitterly cursed as a result
of the ignorance of its people,
it is South Carolina. Cole Blease
seems to gloat over the fact that
he is a mean man, and never
fails to exhibit evidences of his
petty spite and narrowness. His
recent exhibition is to take from
certain editors who wrote articles
disapproving of Bleases course,
their commission^ as notaries.
If he wished to go to the , limit
to exhibit his mean contemptable
nature, he could hardly touch
upon a smaller, or more ignorable
thing, than in this way to try to
stifle public expression, but its
Bleases way, a way in perfect
keeping with the character of
the man.

Proof against the winds and, tempests

Happy,laughter, games and pleasure

Till that fatal Lord’s Day morning
Speed was gaining, day by day.
Darkness fell; th^j stars were shinirg;
Suddenly the air grew cold;
Crash! the unseen, mighty iceberg .
Tore the ship’s side to her hold.
Just a jar and sudden tremor
As when mortals flinch from pain;
Still went on th? feast ard music.
Men looked up—then laughed again.
Hark! the call from crew and captain;
“Up on deck! to life-boats hai'te!”
Stunned, they all obeyed the summons,
With no thought of rank or caste.
Shouts the captain: “Man the lifeboats;
Launch them out upon the wave;
First the helpless little children
And the women we must save.”
i E'en the wealthy lord of millions
Could not purchase with hiS gold
One small seat beside hs young bride
In the life-boat we are told.
They were only men and women.
Rank, distinction, power were gone;
Ocean’s mandate: “First the ladies!”
Was heroically borne.

TYRUS DEFLATUS
A FARM LIFE SCHOOL
The "old Col-Tew Military
School building, a mile West of
Hillsboro on the north side of
the railroad has promises now of
heing made useful, after remain
ing idle for nearly fifty years.
The buildings which are substan-'
tial britk, and p^rounds of 140
acres, property easily worth
$25,000 dollars has been donated
by the Farmers Alliance for a
Farm Life School, on condition
that the Farmers Union donate
$10,000 for furnishings, the
State give $7,500, and the county
of Orange is to give $2,500. The
matter of vcting the $2,500 will
come up before long, and it is
felt that in view of this most
tempting proposition that the
county will gladly vote the sum,
not only for its great benefit to
county, and State, in improving
the minds of boys, and making
of them better men and more
valuable citizens, but in estab
lishing a school of great merit
largely enhancing the value of
taxable property of the county.
The School tuition is to be free
to the bovs of this State. The
arrangement is fi^r there to be
eleven trusteees three of them
to be from the State at largd,
three from the Farmers Alliance, j
three from the Farmers Union, *
and two from the county of
Orange.
Everybody admits that Ty Cobb is j
a great baseball player, probably the |
greatest ball player of the last’ quar- |
ter of a century. But the 'merit at
taching to his position is sadly maned,
and his lustre bedimmed by that disease '
which has ruined many good men before
him^enlargement of the cranium,
known in ordinary parlance as the
“swellhead.” Those who read Presi
dent Narvin’s statement yesterday will
readily agree that the president of the
Detroit club has correctly painted Mr.
Tyrus Cobb, gallery player and poseur.
'Loving public applause, publicity Jand
th^ limel?ght as a woman loves a new
gown, Ty Cobb has strutted over the
country defying his employers, setting
discipline at nauget and s^king to
establish a ruinous precedent in the
relations between clubs and players.—
Exchange.
i Its a pity for Tyrus, but it is
too true. It has not been many
years since a President of the
United States, and we speak of
Mr. Roosevelt who rather coarted
the honor of
hand.
There are a number of other
swell heads in this world of the
same weakness of Tyrus, but the
trouble with the latter crowd is
there is not a thing about them
that gives the slightest excuse
for having a swell head.

Slowly to her ocean burial
Sank the good ship to her grave,
j Bearing hapless hundreds with her,
I Gallants souls and seamen brave.
j To the last the ship's orchestra
j Played till silenced by the sea;
I Facing death they voiced that sweet
j h’/mn:
“Nearer, still, my God, to Thee.”
I On that night of wreck and ruin
I Portuls of et rnity
I Opened as the sound came faintly:
I “Nearer, still, my God, to Thee,”
I Food and clothing, gold and silver
[ Lavished on the remnant saved
I Ne’er can dim that harrowing picture
As their loved last farewells waved.
What to them that someone blundered?
That sufficient safeguard failed?
At man’s bar whose fatal error
When the great Titanic sailed?
Deep within Atlantic’s bosom
Sleep those hero souls and brave;
And their requiem e’er is chanted
By the restless wind and wave.
So we leave them to their Maker
Knowing, .‘^pite of narrow creeds.
He will overlook their faillings
P'or the sake of gallant deeds.
