WILDIINGTOW LIESSENG1JIE, TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1C1. ! Entered at the Postolflce at Wilming ton, N. C. as Second-Class Matter April IS. 1S79. GREATEST STRIKE OF THE "WORLD The Messenger has forborne to dis cuss the great strike among the steel folks that has been imminent for many days. It is so gigantic in its propor tions, Involves so much, and is so por tentous for eMl we have held back un til now making reference to it. It may prove a most protracted, stubborn, and 'disastrous strike and may be "big with late." Hope had been indulged by close (Observers that a settlement wouia oe arrived at and calamity avoided. There Is so much involved that it is most la mentable that a satisfactory -arrange, xnent could' not be effected. The own ers, the strikers and the laborers not t thp strike are all involved, for the - latter "class must suffer more or less in matter c omplovment It is now evident that the conflict of Interests having begun will continue and be as proclaimed "a fight to a finish." It is Chophesled that capital will finally triumph as it usually does In a conflict with labor, and it is thought that the result will be disastrous to the Amal gamated Association by its being so 'divided and broken as to be never able again to resume its old strength- The trust Is willing to make the fight, being Confident In its power and resources. It knows its vast strength and unlimited wealth, and it is not adverse to a test of strength feeling confident of a com plete triumph. The skilled workers will -suffer a great deal in case of victorV, for their present wages. The organiza tion has brought them superior wages. A loss In the battle will be sure to re duce them all round. The Philadelphia Ttecord says pertinently that the trust Is not adverse to the trial of strength with organized labor as "Its enormous capitalization has caused among in vestors at home and abroad a distrust of Its ability to continue to make pro fits, and in this condition the necessity of a general reduction of wages may be for the trust as essential a question as it is for the steel workers to main tain their union, and thus fence off e. reduction of the scale of wages. "A little over a week ago the steel .Workers could have obtained better terms than are now offered them. The trust was willing then to let them organize, if they could, in all the mills; . . . But since then the trust has taken an uncompromising stand, doubt less believing in its ability to break the strike." "We understand that President Shaf fer, of the Amalgamated Association, favored the settlement offered, but was overruled by the more radical element. The cause of the final failure at agree- monf was th flnlm nf thf trust to em ploy non-union labor with union men. President Shaffer is thougt to have shown a good deal of coolness, delibera tion, decision and wisdom, and has well Impressed the great public. It will be recalled that the attitude of the trust "Was uncompromising, defiant from the word go. Later they discovered the mistake and sought to rectify it by -agreeing to a conference. The steel trust failed in its terms offered, and since then has been more openly re solved and stubborn than before. Hence the present battle. Thus far some 58, 000 men are in the conflict. It is sup posed that by Saturday the army will be 100,000 strong on the side of the workers. "Will there be a starve out "process only, cr will there be a battle royal with blood. The "Washington Post says of the outlook: "The bloodiest internecine war which the world has ever known, the war be tween the states, was fought on account of a principle, and there have been re ligious wars without number wherein the matter In dispute could not be set tled by arithmetic. The strike which is now in progress bears relation to these great struggles because something more than mere dollars and cents is involv ed. The labor unions regard it as their final stand against the encroach ment of capital. It is a contest which is to determine their right to organize and protect themselves." The strike began on July 1st, among the workers in two companies, the American Sheet Steel Company and the American Steel Hoop Company. On the 14th of July the American Tin Plate Company joined the strike. The final cause of the general strike ordered is a difference of opinion as to recognizing about- a dozen mills as union, particu larly those at "Wellsville, Ohio; McKees port, Pa., and Painter's. Lindsay & Mc Cutcheon's and Clark's in Pittsburg. The total men employed by the trust is 213.000. It is expected that the strik ers will receive help from many non union members. Report is that Mark Hanna is to try his hand to heal. The two rival generals are J. P. Mor gan and T. J. Shaffer. As we learn from the Baltimore Sun, Morgan was born m. Connecticut in 1S37, was edu cated in Germany, has been banker, railroad organizer, trust organizer and leading nnancier. worth $100,000,000. He' is backed by the Billion-Dollar Steel Trust. Shaffer was born at Pittsburg. Pa., in 1843. He is a classical scholar, a worker- in steel mills, a Methodist preacher, president of the Amalgamated Association. He receives a salary of $1,500 a year a trifle for these extrava- In the swim."

The Messenger has consistently, per ternaclously opposed compulsory edu cation as unrepublican. undemocratic, paternalistic and full of New England sumptuary laws and Paul Pryism. But In view of developments what is to be done now? The Increase in edu cation among negroes according to the census of 1900. for ten years, was over 5 per cent and about 2 per cent for whites. That Is a shame ful, disappointing exhibit. What is to be done, we repeat? Is that neglect of whites to avail themselves of educa tional opportunities to continue? If It Is to be then the Messenger mustsay, come what may, that there are but two ways open for future action. The school fund for negroes by white taxa tion must stop. The south cannot af ford to have the coming generation of whites illiterates and the negroes lit erates. So if this is to continue, stop the schools in so far as the negroes are concerned and let them furnish educa tional facilities to their own children. But there is a better way than that. The perpetuity of free institutions de pends upon the intelligence, virtue and honor of the people. The white parents must be compelled to send their chil dren to school. There is no other way open now. But we see what education has done, for the negroes in the north. Their "voice Is still for war." The rascals do not expect to put their carcases in the forefront as targets for white riflemen. But at long range they wish to per suade the negroes in the south to begin a war of ietaliation now for lynching. Let the helpless white women and children be assaulted, wounded, de stroyed, what care they? But take "Winchesters, is the advice, and shoot all who would favor lynching the black brutes. Such fool talk shows the char acter of the "educated negroes" In Yankeedoodledom. At a gathering of the African Press Association at Phila delphia, the much mouthing T. Thomas Fortune, the perennial marplot and in cendiary.who was chairman, got off this "dandy" bit of wisdom when speaking on the subject of "The Press as an Ed ucator," he said: "We have cringed and crawled long enough. I don't want any more 'good nigger.' I want 'bad niggers.' It's the 'bad nigger with a Winchester who can defend his home and children and wife." He forgets that it is the bold, brave white man who can end "the bad- nigger" who in vades his home and lays his fiendish clutches on his wife and children. The "Winchester" is a potent instrument in the hands of angry white men search ing for devils incarnate who burn and murder and rape. T. Thomas forgot that. A negro fellow from Atlanta who edits the Age was particularly hot on Senator Tillman. Hear him and his first idea shows the size of his brains. - "I believe in the transmigration of souls. It will not be long I believe 1 will live to see the day before the soul f Ben Tillman will be wandering through the streets in the body of a 'suck-egg dog, with no one to throw him a crumb of bread to eat. The dol lar and cold Fteel are the things the white man respects,' continued the speaker. 'Many of them are afraid to lynch us where they know the black man is standing behind his door with a Winchester. Put they arrest us and then attack us defenseless in jail ana lynch us." A Life and Death lfls:nt . Mr. W. A. Hines, of Manchester, la., writing of his almost miraculous es cape' from death, says: "Exposure after measles induced serious lung trouble, which ended in Consumption. I had frequent hemorrhages and cough ed night and day. All my doctors said I must soon die. Then I began to use Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, which completely cured me. I would not be without it even If it cost $3.00 a bottle. Hundreds have used it on my recommendation and all say.it never fails to cure Throat. Chest and Lung troubles." Regular size 50c. and 51.00.

We read with care the list of North Carolina troops in the Great war from North Carolina as furnished after the war to Colonel Olds. That publication left a distinct impression that the total troops furnished the Confederate cause by North Carolina was but 80,000. It will make that impression on any one who reads it as it appeared in the Char lotte Observer and as copied into the Richmond Dispatch. Hence The Mes senger at once undertook to expose the injustice, the stupendous blundering statement. Now, as we learn from the Raleigh Times. Colonel Olds "explains that the number furnished by the state according to Major Neathery, aid not include the recruiting of the regiments, in some . instances amounted to more than the original number. Major Neathery's statement in no way affects the accepted amount of the official number of troops furnished from this state." "We were pleased to see the correc tion. But that first publication will do a vast deal of evil, and North Caro lina will not hear the last of the Neath ery statement as to S0,000. or as he gave it exactly, 79,999. Why publish at all such a bewildering, mistaken, absurd statement? The Raleigh Post points to another serious error of the Neath ery publication. It says: "The Post is in full sympathy with The Messenger in this contention. If we mistake not. the record as compile! in Washington credits this state with a little more than 126,000 troops, of all classes, furnished during the war be tween the states, besides something over 3.000 furnished the federal army during the same time. The statement credited to the late Major John B- Neathery shows incompleteness on Its face, as a number of regiments and battalions are not given., at all. We think the authority Is conclusive . that The Messenger is right in its conten tion."- NEW BOOKS. "Every-Day Thoughts in Prose and Verse" by HUa Wheeler Wilcox, a well known author and poet.

It .has dwindled now to but about 4,000. Typhoid fever is possibly more gen eral in North Carolina at this time tlan for some years preceding. It is known to exist in 57 counties. The Ralegh special to the Baltimire Sun says tiat the disease is worst "in the middle fec tion and particularly so in factory towns near streams. At one mill tlere are 20 cases reported. The state board of health is trying to fight the fever, but most of the ignorant persons vho have it or are exposed to it do not consider it as infectious, and this is the great cause of the trouble." jWe have reason for thinking that nfver before was this fever so violent or general in Wilmington. We have heard of some seven deaths frorr, it. There are cases in several section of the city if we are not misinformed. We heard the late distinguished Dr. George Thomas say in 1877, thai as long as he had been practicing in "Wil mington he had never seen a well de fined case of typhoid fever. Mr. II. A. IV Smith, associate editor of Charlotte's clever evening paper, the News, and the Weekly, the .Times Democrat, sends us a piece of music Just published and of his own composi tion. It is a song, and we are unable to say a word as to its merit. Not being able to strike a note or "turn a tune" our inability as editor of the musical department is complete. We hope it is fine and that it will be sung around the state. A list of important tanneries isbefore us. It shows growth In this industry, and a considerable output. There art tanneries with outputs from 54 hides a day up to 150, 180, 160, and 250. These are a small part of what are in the state. In fact the thirteen are on the line of the Southern Railway Company in North Carolina. The New York Evening Post makes the following announcement under its "Personal": "President John C. Kilgo of Trinity college, Durham, N. C, who is termed the 'storm center of North Carolina Methodism, leaves this week on a European tour, voted him by the trus tees in appreciation of his zealous work. He will attend the missionary conference in London as a delegate from the North Carolina Methodist conference." Women are Like Healthy andstrong - - ' mey Diossom and bloom.

THE FIRST DAY'S FIGHT IN THE B!S STEEL STRIKE RESULTS IN A DRAWN BATTLE BOTH SIDES GAIN ADVANTAGE Strikers Close Biff Steel Plant at New Castle and Corporation Partially Break the Strike at Clark Mills In Plttsburs: Not the Slightest Dis turbance Tet Occurs Shrewd Move of Manufacture rs-UopH of Settle ment Thro turn Outside Influence. Pittsburg, August 7. In the big steel strike honors are even n this section tonight. The Amalgamated Associa tion succeeded In closing down the big steel plant at New Castle, and the man ufacturers partially broke the strike at the Clark mill in this city. Neither side Is exulting, nor Is there any expression of discouragement. Victory or defeat of either at f M . j 4J it 3 vi Viler - 1 fare can hnv hut miA f uuv tut cuevi uc ; uuu indicating the probable line of battle to be pursued by each. Up to this hour not the slightest trou ble has occurred at any point in this immediate territory and Amalgamated men are correspondingly happy, for this condition would seem to be the carry ing out of the association's new. depart ure in the handling of strikes. The quiet waiting of the strikers may be one of the surprises hinted at by the national officers. From one or two points the strikers are reported as restless and eager for action, but so far they have kept faith with their leaders and re frained from committing any breach of the peace. Recorder A. M. Brown does not anticipate that there will be any disorder in Pittsburg on account of the steel strike. If there should be disor der, he says it will be the duty of the bureau of police to suppress it, and arrest all who are concerned in it. Re corder Brown Incidentally remarked that there should be no discrimination between strikers and employers and that all are equal under the law and will be so treated. The United States Steel Corporation. it was learned today from an official source, will at once, proceed in. a sys tematic manner to start its closed mills making the non-union plants of the Kiskimlnets valley the cradle where strike breakers will be trained and then sent out to the mills that are closed. So far as President C. M. Schwab is concerned, no overtures will be made by the trust to the workers. In a talk with a Pittsburg man in New York yes terday, ne said: "We have made our last proposition to the Amalgamated Association and will now proceed to start our works." President Shaffer makes this counter statement: "The next (proposition must come from the United States Steel Cor poration officials." Thus the two executives stand. It seems as if only outside efforts can bring them together. The trust offi cials have decided to go ahead slowly in the matter of starting mills and to do so with as little publicity as possi ble. The strongholds of the Sheet Com pany are the mills at Vandergrift. the largest in the country; Leechburg, Ap- polo and Scottdale. It has been decided to take as many skilled men away from these places as possible, without re tarding operations there, and start the mills where there is the least danger of an outbreak. The places to be va cant at the mills mentioned will be fill ed with meil deserving of promotion and they will be given better positions. This move will be undertaken slowly and with caution. The plan further contemplates that after a time many of the strikers will return when they see one after another of the mills resuming. This plan was tested the first few days of this week and found to be feasible so far as the mills at Hyde Park and Wellsville go, and it has been decided to adopt It so far as the sheet and hoop mills are concerned. Plans for starting the closed tin plate mills have not been completed. In this branch the situation is different. The Tin Plate Company have only six of their 232 roll trains going, while the Sheet Company have a few less than half. The officials of the Amalgamated Association say that this move will, in a measure, play into their hands. At McKeesport, President Shaffer said that he himself would lead men from Vandergrift Into the wood mill. The officials feel that if they can get the Vandergrift men away from their en vironments there little trouble will be found in bringing them into the asso ciation. Amalgamated headquarters were more quiet tody than they have been since the strike. The officials of the organization were busy all day attend Ing to routine business and in getting out material for the various local lodges of the association that have been organized during the past few weeks A report was received early in the morning from the strikers in New Castle, announcing that the order to strike had been obejed to the letter and the men were out to a man. The news of the starting of the Clark mills here was not surprising to the officials of the organization, as they had received intimation of what was to happen yesterday afternoon. The situation is perfectly understood in Lawrenceville. the officers say, and the misunderstanding that caused the col ored men to return to work will. It is said, be ratified in a short time- One of the most interesting factors of the strike is beginning to develop It was intimated that a plan is on foot for the formation of an advisory board for the purpose of aiding President Shaffer in carrying on the struggle. which will be composed of the presi dents of the various trade organiza tions, with headquarters in Pittsburg such men as President Simon Burns, of the Window Glass Workers Asso ciaition; President John Kunzler. of the Flint Glass Workers: National Sec retary James Pryal. of the Structural Iron Workers' Association: Patrick Do- lan, of the United MineWorkers and any who can be brought together. This board would, it was argued, prove a powerful factor in carrying the weight of public opinion with the strike and perhaps give far more substantial sup port to the arganization now struggling than by any other means. No one of the officers of the trust seems to expect any settlement of the strike except by the destruction of the organization of the ".Amalgamated AS sociation in all the trust mills. It seems perfectly reasonable to the officials that this should be the result of the present difficulty and they look for no other. The whole plan of campaign will be one of silence - and no statement will be made by the officials of any kind.

It is said that the officers have received assur ances from many of them that they will return at the proper time and they could start several of their mills if it was not for the desire on their part to avoid any open rupture or create riots or violence. They deny that there Is any motive on their part to goad the men to acts which will give cause for calling on the mlHtla. to iruard property and allow non-union men to work in peace. New York, August 7. The Commer cial Advertiser says: "As far as can be learned, no com munication has been received by J. P. Morgan & Co., or by any of the steel companies here from the labor lead ers since the conference of Saturday last. . Peace, however, may not be far away after all. It is learned that In dependent Influences are at work which may surprise everbody within the next few days. Mr. Morgan will not say a word, but it is believed in some quarters that h has received important communica tions from persons strong enough and independent enough to bring about a settlement before Shaffer's order to strike takes effect. Those who know Mr. Morgan say he will welcome any move that will hasten the end of the controversy, providing the fundamental objections he urged on Saturday last are respected. That something Is be ing done in the direction of amity is apparent from the manner of the steel men here and the course of the steel stocks on the exchange. Glorious News Comes irom Dr. D. B.

Telllae Fortunes With a Burnt Match Telling fortunes (with a match and a square of cardboard as the only ac cessories) is an amusing sort of a game which halls from Connecticut. A hole is made in the centre of the card board Jusllarge enough for the match to be stuck In it, business end up. From the centre draw radiating lines of any desired number and if it is a fellow whose fortune Is being told write the names of his various girl friends along these lines. Now light the match. It will burn about half way before going out, the burnt part toppling over or to the cardboard. The name upon which the burnt end drops Is the name of the fellow's future wife. Where a sirl's fortune is being told, of course, the name of her male friends are substi tuted. In place of people's names yon can substitute the names of various pro fessions, the position of the burnt match indicating the nature of a lad's, future? carwr In thf m- wav vmi can find out the various virtues and foibles of "your victim."
