Coal strikes and street car strikes seem to be the or der just now, for we have the Penn sylvania strike, and an Alabama strike, the latter for the seem ingly unreasonable cause that some negro miners down there refused to pay assessments to help the Penn sylvania strikers, and the companies for whieh they worked -refused to withhold the amount of the assess ment from their pay, and therefore the strike was ordered. The Union, which, as far as the public knows, had no other cause of complaint, embraces about 3,000 men. There is a street car strike in New Orleans and Bimilar strikes in several New York towns. What their griev ances are we do not know, but they are resorting to violence to prevent the cars from running. The Pennsylvania strike, which is said to have cost already $183, 000,000 (not counting what it has cost the public) is now in its sixth month, with no disposition on the part of the mine operators to make concessions and no disposition on the part of the strikers to yield un less concessions are made. They are now, since the absolute refusal of the mine operators, after an earn est appeal by President Roosevelt to come to some agreement, more de termined than ever and are receiv ing substantial encouragement from other miners' organizations and from individual sympathizers, who have come to look upon it as a de cisive test between organized capital and organized labor, either one of which must succumb. If this were simply a measure of strength between capital and labor, between employer and employed, people might sympathize with one or the other, and the public might watch the contest and quietly wait its ending, but in all such clashes it is the public that suffers and is most vitally interested. A street car strike, even when not attended with violence and riotousness, means a stop to the nsual means of travel through the city for the mas ses of the people, and that means not only personal inconvenience, and discomfort, but it means inter ruption of business and much loss of time and money to business men and people employed by them. A coal strike prolonged and of large proportions, even when not attended by violence, lawlessness and rioting, a shortage in fuel sup plies, if not an actual fuel famine now confronting the people of the North Atlantic States, and that means not only higher priced fuel, but much personal discomfort and severe suffering, with damage to in dustries, the money cost of which cannot be figured out. Aside from the employer and the workman, the former of whom is in terested in the loss of profits and dividends, and the latter in wages and in treatment, some way should be found to prevent strikes in the interest of the masses of the people who suffer from them more than the employers or the workmen do. It is absurd and a reflection on our in telligence and our state craft that no way has yet been devised to d tw nd that the problem has never Wn Pproached with the seriousness that uaponancejdemanda. Capital may organise, labor may organize, it is wen lor Doin mat they should organize; they hare the right to organize for more effective work and far mutual protection, but neither should be allowed to cuff the other, nor to go to Bhooting at each I other when it imperils the life of in- I nocent bystanders. Capital nas or i should have the right to work its I property in its own way, and to em- I ploy whom it pleases to work it, but it has no right to oppress its employes who may be in its power or to exact anything nnfair or unreasonable from them. It should deal with them honestly, sauarelv. humanelv and pay them living wages. It should not expect to make all the profit, get all the meat and throw its workmen the bones. Workmen have a right to cease working when they are not treated fairly, a right, however, which they cannot always exercise, because their necessities often compel them to continue at work, eyen on very on erous conditions, but whether they work or not, they have no right to put hindrance in the way of the man who wants to work, whose necessi ties may compel him to work to earn the wherewith to live and to provide for his family, if he has one. When the employer takes advan tage of a man's necessities to ex tort labor from him without just compensation he plays the part of an unfeeling oppressor and when the workman by violence or intimi dation prevents the man whose neccessities compel him to work from working he does the same thing and neither should be allowed to do it. This problem has been solved in other countries. Australia, which has arbitration laws has revolved it and so has New Zeland, which with her admirble system stands as an exemplar for other countries. The conditions in other countries and in this may be different, but there should be genius and ability enough in this country to at least devise some way to avert these industrial conflicts and ward off the calamities that follow in their wake. THEY WAHT MORE TROOPS. A Wilkesbarre, Pa., dispatch, pub lished yesterday, says it was re ported that the mine magnates would ask the Governor of Pennsyl vania for more troops on the ground that the troops which have been or dered into the anthracite district are not sufficient to completely patrol it. That's cool. The State Guard numbers some thing over 11,000 men when full. It is said the number for service in the anthracite region will be 9,000 men, fully armed and equipped for war. And these 9,000 are not, in the esti mation of the coal magnates, suffi cient to give them the protection which they need to mine coal. The presumption is that they don't think those State troops are hankering for that kind of werk and that they would find federal soldiers, brought from some other sections of the country, more serviceable and with fewer compunctions against shooting at the strikers and their sympathizers, if ordered to shoot, as shooting is their business, and they obey orders without asking questions or having any opinions, as to tne justice or injustice, or the necessity or the absence of necessity in the shooting. As far as the public knows there has been no rioting since the State Guard was ordered into the mining region, and so far as known the mine operators have not since made any additional efforts to mine coal, or that it must be simply a matter of opinion with them that the 9,000 State troops now there are not suffi cient to give them all the protection they need to work the mines and turn out the coal, for which there is now such an nrgent demand. Until they do that they cannot consist ently ask for more troops and if they don't do that they ought to be re quired to turn the mines over to receivers who will. Louisville, Ky., was honored a few days ago with a visit by a man who has 365 suits of wearing ap parel, (and he isn't in the clothing business although he comes pretty near "it.) He changes his clothes every hour and spends four hours a day in doing it. He scorns being called a dude, and says he has never smoked a cigarette, worn a monocule, or played golf , and ' his name it is Jones. Mr. Morgan didn't buy those 50,- 000 tons of Welsh coal to give away to the poor of New York, but to sell to them at cost, which will be about one-third of the cost of Pennsylva nia coal at the rate it is now selling in that city. Fifty thousand tons would make a pretty large pile of coal, but it wouldn't supply New York for one day, if generally dis tributed. It takes about 70,000 tons to do that. Mark Hanna has challenged Tom Johnson to debate, but prescribes a condition that no reference be made to monopolies. Mark don't want to have the monopolies chncked at him. They are all getting tender-footed on the monopoly business. Batrtth ) Tha Kind You Have Always Boagtit GUABDIHG AGAINST COAL SI0T3 The municipal authorities in New York city are taking measures to prevent apprehended rioting that may result from the scarcity of fuel. With the present scarcity of coal or other fuel in that city, rioting will De the inevitable result unless ex- traordinary measures be taken in time to prevent it. and the same may he said of all the large cities in the North Atlantic States which are dependent upon coal for fuel. Thus far the weather has not been cold enough to cause much suffering and the people have borne patiently and even good naturedly the coal shortage, with its attend ant high prices, hoping that work might soon be resumed in the mines and the worst be over, but let a cold snap come and it would take a regiment of police with machine guns to keep the clamoring people ont of the vards that happened to have coal enough to tempt them. The timely taking of precautions against such emergencies may have some effect in preventing raids on the coal yards, but it will not en tirely prevent them, should the weather become severe enough to cause suffering. The fact that the public, with very little division of sentiment, holds the mine operators and the managers of the coal carrying roads responsible for the coal shortage, would make the public condone raids on coal yards, and even the law itself would look leniently upon those who participated in them, on the maxim that "necessity knows no law." People in this country who are willing to pay a reasonable price for fuel are not going to suffer and freeze for want of it, without mak ing desperate efforts to get it if it is in sight. CURK:M COMMEN1 With a street car strike in New Orleans and rioting there, coal miners strikes in Alabama and Pennsylvania with rioting and dis order there, labor seems to be in a Mont Pelee condition in this coun- trv. Auqusta Clironicle, Dem. The colored bishops, who called on the President got a crumb of comfort in tnat the President as sured them that he did not approve of the Southern Republicans squeez ing them out of politics; but the President's disapproval will not help the bishops and their followers much. The squeezing process goes right along. luchmond limes, Dem. Notwithstanding the great activity in American iron and steel manufacturing establishments the imports of iron and steel have doubled in the past year while ex ports of theae commodities have fallen off about 5, 000, OOO and are still falling. Practically every class of iron and steel imports shows an increase during 1902 as compared with 1901. SavannahNeics, Dem. Senator llanna permits no opportunity to pass without making 1 i r 1 A A. ITT 1 1 ms lariii views Known, .at neei- ine, W. Va , the other day he ad vised his audience to "keep letting well enough alone." The Presi dent on the other hand, as is well known, refuses to believe that it is sacrilege to lay hands upon the tar iff or that any particular schedule of the Dingley law say the iron and steel schedule should or ought for ever remain inviolate. Senator Hanna's advice is an excellent one to follow by some people. The President's attitude, nevertheless, is sound, and has the additional ad vantage, moreover, which Senator Manna has not, of awakening a sympathetic echo in the breasts of countless millions of consumers.

Mr Dawson reports three in precinct township. Salisbury Sun: Mr W. D. Graham, of Miranda, was in Salisbury to-day. Mr. Graham, who is registrar for Alt. Una township, says tne voters are registering slowly in his township. So far more voters have registered in the six Salisbury precincts than in all the country precincts combined. Weldon News: Mr. W. H. Qui, a well known farmer in Fau- cett's township, brought to this office last Friday some of the largest and finest tomatoes we have ever seen grown in Halifax county. They are of the variety known as the tree to mato, and the plants grow all the way from nve to seven feet high. Mr. Mux Bays the plants he raised were seven teet in height and that two plants fur nished tomatoes for his entire family. Durham Sun: Sheriff S. A. Fleming, of Granville county, was here Wednesday morning on his way to Oxford with Will Garner, a col ored prisoner.

He made his escape after com mitting the murder and has been a fugitive from justice until arrested at Wilson, where he was turned over to Sheriff Fleming. Fayetteville Observer: Mr. A. D. Fann, who carries the mail between here and Manly, N. C, gives an inter esting account of some corn which he saw on his last trip. The corn was raised by Mr. Cyrus Johnson, who lives near Manly. Mr. Fann saw one stalk of this corn measured. He says it was fifteen feet long and ten feet to the first ear, and it had three well de veloped ears of corn. He measured two blades which were four feet and six inches long. The stalk measured eight and one-half inches around at the second joint from where it was cut off above the ground. Mr. John son has about one acre that would average this well. Concord Tribune: Thursday af ternoon a negro named Conner applied to Registrar McKinne to register. After testing the negro Mr. McKinne refused to register him. After this the negro became ugly and mouthy. After being ordered out of the room Conner refused to go and Mr. McKinne gathered a chair, when the negro stepped outside the room and stopped at the stable door. Here he picked up a brick and threw it, striking Mr. Mc Kinne in the head and knocking him unconscious. The negro made a des perate effort to escape, but was caught and placed in jail. Mr. McKinne soon recovered and was not seriously hurt. -!- Nashville Graphic: News reach ed this place Monday that Mr. Henry Whitley, living in Ferrell's township, had committed suicide. Mr. Wnltley and his wife had parted about ten days prior to bis rash act, he having driven her from his home while he was on a protracted spree and making home- life miserable for nis wife and chil dren. Monday morning he sent his youngest son for Mrs. Whitley to re turn. Mr. Whitley told his son where he would find what money he had, stating also that he was liable to die any moment. While young Whitley was a short distance away he heard the report of a gun from within the house, tie proceeded at once to the bedroom, where he found his father lying across the bed in a dying condi tion, while at his side lay his double- barrel shotgun. Raleigh News and Observer: Henry Campbell prominent and well to do farmer of Rutherfordton, shot him self through the heart Thursday. The cause is said to nave been family trouble. Several times during the past week Campbell has tried to end his life by drowning in a well, but each effort was frustrated by friends. He informed his wife that he was go ing to blow out his brains and asked her to accompany him to the barn to see it well done. She declined and he went alone and killed himself. He was 62 years old and leaves a wife and two children. Cora Morehead, a negro woman, is reported as having fallen into a well near LieakSVille, Rockingham county, though some suspect murder and arrests nave been made. She was In a row at a quilting party at a friend's house and three men followed her to the woods when she ron from the house. She was seen no more alive but the next morning her dead body, with a gash on the bead, was found in an upright position in the well. Strike a Rich Find. "I was troubled for several years with Chronic Indigestion and Nervous Debility," writes F. J. Green, of Lan caster, N. H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years.

The l?fr Method of Marketing Item From One of Its Advocates. The boxing of tipples for market finds numerous advocates nowadays. Fol lowing are some items gleaned from a lengthy communication on the subject to Rural New Yorker by a successful apple shipper. He has packed apples as illustrated. The dimensions of the box are 11 by 12 by 22, what is called A BOX OF BALDWIN APPLES. the California bushel box. In packing he graded to three sizes and packed the sizes to fit the box, tiering the different sizes to fit the boxes. As they were red apples he used white paper and put it only in the bottom of the box, letting It come about half way up on the sides of the box. After the box was filled the bottom was nailed on, the box turned over and marked for the best apples XXX, those next smaller XX, and the smallest ones X. In shipping three boxes were counted to the barrel, and In figuring the price per barrel three buBhels were counted per barrel. In boxing white apples this shipper would use some bright colored paper, as a red, blue or green. It may be well in boxing a red apple to use a clear white or bright yellow. Many times people living in the crowded city have not the room for a barrel of apples, but they could put a box in the corner or some out of the way place, or if they could not afford to buy a whole barrel they could buy a box, and there are many people thus situated financially, enough of them to consume many hundreds of barrels in a season, and thus almost open up a new market for us. It is more work, be cause they have to be graded carefullly in order to pack nicely, but not as much I trouble as one would suppose. After you get used to it it can be done quite rapidly. The cost of the box is about the same as a barrel. Blown to Atoms.

The cotton market opened steady with prices one point higher to two lower and then followed a narrow rut for a time in the absence of active trading by either side or special new feature. As an offset to the heaviness in the Liverpool market the liberal port receipts and the generally favorable weather chart were bullish spot market re ports from the South, reports that a storm of considerable Severity was working-; toward the central belt coast from the Gulf, and talk of a colder snap from the western belt to-night. Late in the morning the government forecast promised not only cold but wet weather as well for the western belt. Shorts turned for cover, with the result that January worked up to 8.78 and other options in accordance. The commis sion houses became eager buyers again and the South bought tLa winter months quite freely. The late dispatches from spot markets in the central belt stated that exporters were taking everything offered at former prices, with holders less anxious to sell except at an advance. Total ex port clearances for the day were nearly as large as total port receipts. The market later eased off on near months under realizing, with the close quiet and net two points lower to four points higher. Total sales were esti mated at 150,000 bales. Nw Your, Oct. 10.
