JAbout four haodred stockholders and cotton mill operatives took adTantafe f the exoursion to North Carolina's Aunous summer retort and they bad aavgood time. It Indicates highly commendable Ute of feeling, existing between em ployer and employee that such excur sions are planned and carried out by w mill directors. It shows that our employers feel that their employees re one with them in the development of the cotton Industry at this place, .ftiid deserve considerate treatment as uch. That this feeling is reciprocated by the employees was shown the other morning when the knitting mill opera tives showered their superintendent with fruit on the eve of their holiday. , 8uch occurrences the free excursion and the fruit shower are beautiful in cidents in the run of an every-day life that is apt to become all too prosaic fcs Its details.

Senator Tillman oi South Carolina asd Senator Burton, of Kansas pro pose to enliven the dull season out in the" great northwest by ' Indulging in a I joint debate on the race question. ., Many methods have been invented ' lor keeping things lively, but for two United States senators to constitute themselves into a travelling circus of the kind proposed is one of the silliest jet devised. Undoubtedly the debate will attract crowds, for each of the gladiators has . reputation of being able to entertain listening senates. But such a discus ton is ..not only most futile, it is iraught with decided danger to soci- If there is to be any agitation at -All It should take place right here in the south where the so-called question as to be .grappled with and solved. How the eause of peace can be bene fitted by a perambulating oratorical suae snow out west we are unable to Perhaps, however, Senator Tillman thinks that since tbe negro Is going out io the northwest he will go out and j 4 jarepare his way for him. . Such solic itude on the senator's part is entirely . , jfttuitous, since the negro . always V aypeaks for himself. He, as is the case with all, is judged by bis works. - " If the worst should come to the worst jud the south is compelled to have ft champion in such ft contest out In the morthwest or anywhere else, we would ' jwefer to send a man representative of - the conservative, sound common sense ; ' W our section rather than a firebrand, ms Tillman Is. The so-called race question will never be settled by legislation, nor ag itation, but like any other social ques tion, by such a transformation In the life of the negro as will make him a useful, industrious, law-abiding mem i tier of the community in which he lives. , Ebere is and always will be room in rery community for any man, white r black, who attends strictly to his . -own business, who knows how, to, do sswnething worth while in the unbuild. 1 tag of the oommunity, and who does It 0 make the title "hero" of any value it must be bestowed by some large part of tbe American public, but in the eyes of neither the laboring diss nor the highly educated class is the scab a hero, rt- FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE LABORING CLASS, ' THE GREAT MASS OF THE ' AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE TERM SCAB IS ONE OF DEEPEST REPROACH. ' This class knows the scab through and through. While no class is more generous in its recognition of heroism, laboring men. have "never called the scab a hero. From earliest childhood it has been taught to despise and loathe him and to look upon him as taking away from the laboring man the chance of bettering his condition. On the ground of motive, the scab's attitude cannot be justified in the eyes of the educated class. Scabs may be divided into the strike breakers and those who remain at work either through devo tion to their employers, through necessity or from mercenary, mo tives. , The strike breakers are purely the tools of the capitalist and gain their livelihood from the misfortunes of others. THEY HAVE BEEN CALLED MANY THINGS,; BUT HEROES THEY ARE NOT. . t n ; , . ; The number of those who remain at work through devotion to their employers is pitifully small, and this fact shows that there is something radically wrong with the relations between employer and employee. ' Now as to those who feel compelled to remain at work. The workingman's income is small, and he usually has a family depend ent upon him, and the question is, "How can I pay the Tentrand keep those dependent upon me from starving V ' If any one deserves, the title so thoughtlessly bestowed on the whole body of scabs it is the one compelled by poverty to work. " t ' 1 " The largest scab class consists of those who remain at work from purely mercenary motives. Scab seems a much more appropriate term to apply to them than hero. To justify their admiration for him the friends of the scab have discovered that he is upholding the right of a citizen to work when he pleases, for whom he pleases and on what terms he pleases. 1 on BUT WHAT IS HIS RIGHTf IT IS A LEGAL ONE, BUT IS IT A MORAL ONEt WILL PUBLIC OPINION UPHOLD A MAN WHO, WHILE ACTING STRICTLY WITHIN HIS LEGAL RIGHTS, DOES AN ACT THAT IS SURE TO RESULT IN LASTING HATRED OF HIS FELLOW men.: ;,.,,: ; Jy'i:fvx..

ARY COLLEGES FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND for teachers, and I am quite positive, so far as our own students go, that those who are trained in industrial pursuits can find INSTANT EMPLOYMENT. In f set, the great difficulty is to keep them here during an entire course, because they find opportunities of employ ment at comparatively high 'prices' long before they are ready for graduation, and the temptation to go out into the world to better themselves is frequently more thai they can withstand.: The devel opment of the south along industrial lines has become so great that Lonia exposition. tbe demand for artisans in all classes of trades is FAR IN EXCESS OF THE SUPPLY. .
