THE PHILOSOPHER OF CONNESTEE IS LUCKY. Tin Brevard News man fount! the Philosopher of Connestee surveying the wreck of his haystack with grim satisfaction. A tiun cow and a white billy-goat wim wading into the wreck with victorious determination. The philosopher was shaking hayseed oul of his eyes and pulling brier-tip: iron, his shirt -collar. The haystack looked like no other that the reported h: .1 ever seen in the wide range oi agricultural observations. Then was something so unusual about th< appearance of that prostrate stacl that the newsman forgot that it: main object was to interview th< philosopher on the subject of Mr Hoov r's conservation policy. Instead he i pressed his curiosity about th< structure that lay in ruins. "Why. that stack is layer-cake fo a cow," explained the Connesste sage, as he pulled a mass of straw and briers out of his hair, and sa down on a rock. "Look at the wa; that stack has split open. You se< those round layers of hay, each stand iiij; on edge like the slices of a bij api.ie wvn you held it at each em and bend it up? Well, here is how i happened. 1 calculated that it woul< cost more to move that stack intio th barn than to let the cow and the hors and the goat^ pick on its peripher; during warm and dry days in the win ter. I found the system worked splen didly. You see those pickets roum the stack. The cow and the goat ?ich had a stake, and the halters w?r just long enough to let them baret; rcuth the outside of the stack so the could get a mouthful at a time with out being able to push initio the stac or to waste the* hay. The horse's haJ ter was fastened to the pole above th stack, so she could not get the lin under her f<3et but could also nibbi n't day long. We'd, they just oirclc that stack nicely all winter. The picked off every straw, and made int a compact cylinder, until they had t saw off the hay with th<ir teeth, bu as they had nothing else to do, the; could take their time, and it gav them good dental exercise." "But you know how it rained thi morning. It was a writable ecjui nocital waterspout. I could not le the beasts out in the storm, so the; were hungry and angry wften brought them out. I let Molly ani Biily out first, and they started fo the stack with fire in thedr eyes. The; were tired of that incessant nib Wing. They wante ? a good decen mouthful at a time. Billy put dowi his head, Molly tos i up hers,, am they ehargvd that sf.Ck full tilt. I hau been strong, but -he tremendou rain hail weakened it underpinning and it shook with thi. impact, trem bled. and then went down. It fel over on one side, and each layer spli open just as if it had been cut wit! a knite. It was the easiest snap fo moving hay I ever saw. Tugging a a stack to get a pitch-fork full fo: each day's feed has long befen one o my most hated jobs, but that was toe tempting. I saw that ail I had to dc was pull that pole out. to stick th< fork into thi middle of each circu lar segment, and to catTy it in tri untph to the barn. When I lifted uj that fork-full it was exactly like ar umbrella over my head. The sun was hot, and that helped. So I put a whole stable full of hay in that bam in twenty minutes. It is soim'thins brand new in the science of agricul tural engineering. I recommend it to Mr. Holden, Mrs. Stokes, and Mr. H. P. Clarke and other meimbers of the new farm organization. The system got my stock well fed all winter, and then the remnants under shelter ir. quicker timer than Henry Ford could have designed a new system for it." Brace up, cheer up, Spring is here. The question is, are YOU ready for the summer's business? This county will have more tourists this season than for many years in the past. "Set your house in ofdtT." Then let's treat theem right ? and they'll come back. Several hundred people are missing pojwrfully fine srmons by remaining away fw the Methodist revival. All <rho hear P.e<v. Mr. Aycock are thrill ed with his great sermons. , t TEXTILE STRIKES, THEIR [CAUSES, DANGERS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS. Labor troubles in the textile cen ters throughout the- Carolinas create a condition that has attracted the at tention of all the South, and the in terest in thesei troubles? is especially keen in the New England section. To understand the cause of these troubles, one must know something of the textile industry, its beginning, its growth, its practices and its cus toms. When the South was laid in vast* jas a result of the Civil War, and siai'lj i poverty reigned eveiVwher* South <>. jthfc Mason and Dixon line, a few nu-i iU-gan building small cotton nulls 'Such men were looked upon in then t communities as so mi? kind of super J man, or a god of some description, iThrf? people were so glad of an op | portunity to obtain employment thai 'la cotton mill was looked upon as * llife-saver. So anxious wew the des Ititute people to get work of any kin. . ! that tl*c mill owner was given ful | sway in everything. He named th 1 1 wage, he sot the hours of labor, h< ? 1 laid down the conditions under whici > i his employes were to work. In addi : jtion to this, the community as a whoh - 1 looked upon him as a great leader f j and the cotton mill baron soon be came the most powerful factor m th South, succeeding in power and ?' fluence the old cotton planter wh | owned his thousand slaves. The industry grew and expander . i until it assumed such proportions tha , I the cotbon mill workers soon consti ? luted the second largest single grou I of people in this state, exceeded i r numbers only by the farmers, s New machinery was brought int s South, where the cotton is growi t and the workers became trained an >' efficient in making the yarns an s weaving the cloth. It was but natun - that those men controlling this gree ? (industry '-exerted a powerful infli i ence in the state. Banks were nc t properly organised unless cotton mi i men were on the board of director' e newspapers must have the support o e cotton mill men, or there was no as f surar.ee of success; dhurcues of th - different denominations boasted c -.certain "big mill m?n" who mad i such and such donations W the.. s churches; no politician was bi e enough fool to seriously engage i y political warfare unless he was fir. y assured of the support of the cotto r mill men in bis district. All these cor k sections, with their interlocking a teres ts, gave to the cotton mill owt e ers a power and influence nev< e equalled by any other group in tt e h)3tory of our state, i But the workers in the mills di y not make lik** progress. Althoug o cotton mill employes constitute tn 0 largest group of workers, their pa 1 has always been the lowest wage pal y in any given community, and the e hours of labor have own longer tha that of any of the next largest grou s of laborers. They have never be* .- permitted to own their own home t always having lived in the cotton mi y owned village. They have been pei I mitted no voice at all m the matte i of wages for which they must labo r the hours of labor they must g-v v WPek after week, nor have they ha - one particle of effective voice in n;ur t ing the conditions under which the u must labor. These workers have bee 1 taught to depend upon the mill owi tiers for everything, thereby being ut slnied the privilege of becoming sell j determining citizenship. - 1 The cotton mill workers have eve ' Ibeen denied equal leadership m th t church affairs. The ministers i!hu i have filled the pulpits in ihos r churches attended by the mill wort t ers have usually been first yea r preachers, ser.t by the church of f ficials to these cotton mill towns t > practice upon these workers unti > such time as they could qualify to til ; a pUlpit down town, where the fam ? ily of !the cotton mill owner an< ? other better folks attended church. ' Up until North Carolina adoptei 1 the compulsory school attendance lav ! the majority of the mill workers wen ' minors. In the old days, early in tht ' century, many a man with a largi ' family of children acted as "busines manager" for his wife and children while they worked in the mills anc he stayed at home or sat on a goods box about the store, and whittled anc whistled his life away With the passage of the compulsory school attendance law, practically al. 'children under fourteen years of age 'were1 taken out of the mills and put into the schools. Then the daddies had to go to work. This law was pass in the face of the very strongest op position made to it by the mill owners 83 a whole. It was even said then that such a law would ruin the indus try in the South, thereby causing all 'the textile mills to move to New Eng land. This argument was used until ^bose saying such things were whip ped into shame by declaring that the (success of the South fended upon the labor of children under fourteen <ars of age. Conditions in the beginning were not ?o bad. The man who owend tht mill was his own manager, and he had personal dealings with each of his employes. As the industry expanded however, and private ownership gave way to corporations, and even the privately-owned mills grew to i>uch an extent that the owner was forced to employ representatives to carry on his work, the personal touch between (owner a fid worker was lost. These su perintendents at first wene chosen from among the mill working groups, land, strange to say, proved, as a ruk\ to be the most autocratic "boss" these workers had ever known. Perhaps the 1 imost harrowing chapters of the tex tile industry were written during that 'period. Later the old A. and M. college ' trained men for these places, and in 'i eluded in this training was the doc ' trine that tht most effective way to I get results from working people was ' to treat them with consideration The J textile workers had been considered . to such a small extent that it did not take much consideration to cause them to believe the millenium had dawned. ' I For the past several years, since . !the first fruits of the compulsory ' I school attendance law began bo show e 'the mill people have become more and more educated, until now there is t real intelligence1 in the mills that tht owners and their representatives must meet and deal with. I I The textile workers of today lool back over the history of the industry J which their parents and grand-par n ..raits worked in, and they see tha i<-very law that has been enacted foi Q the benefit of the workers was ob 'tained only after a long, hard figh. jwith the cotton mill owners. Whethci , |the law pertained to school attend , 'anee, age limit, hours of labor, work '! iing conditions, or what not, an arous 1 ed public opinion had to force thi ? laws in the fat* of the opposition o ; the mill owners. The workers of U> .. iday, thanks to our public schools, c?i ' 'read and understand stock market re ?' ports, financial statements, crop con Editions, and so on, and no longe . lean be fooled by the mere statesmen ^lof an employer as to the condition o ? I the industry. , These workers alao look bad I through thp years of their industry " and they can find not one single out standing character that has been de , v^oped in the cotton mUl village. N. * great doctor, lawyer, statesman * preacher, teacher, painter, engineer or any other outstanding mail 0 I woman has come from the textile ? dustry. Therefore, these workers o today know that something is wroni , when such conditions exist. h So when the mills of this day an. * time attempt to have two men d; T three men's work, without _ any a ddi d tional oay for the two, it is .not hk ir the olden days when the mill worte n accepted without protest just eny o P condition imposed upon by the mil II ? owner. ' This industry has been due a gen lersl shake-up for a long time. tf f" forts at effective protest have beei * made before when the workers trie. r' [to form their unions. Living in com ! Liny-owned houses, a condition unde C' i which a worker loses not only his jO ' but the plarte he calls home as we y j when he displeases the boss, made th. n I tasU of organization simply impossibl. ?t the time it was attempted. Then ?' too, the state has always been ready ' and apparently most willing, to sent troop* to any mill village at just an; n old time any mill owner called foi e them. If you think two or three Iran lt dred armed troops hold no intim.'da * tion for you, then you just try i< once. Many a working man has beer r driven back to his job through feai " of troops placed in the strike zones. 0 Now things are different. The cut ton mil! owner is not as alm.ghtj 11 powerful as he used to bo. The cot " ton mil! worker is not as illiterate as J he used to be. The public has also changed attitude on these questions, 1 and even the press, once the greatest ' ally of which the cotton mill owners 5 boasted, now make effort to tell the s facts about conditions and write edi 5 torials that a few years ago would s have been considered "labor propa * gantla." 1 The workers in the textile industry 3 are going to have their organization, I and they are going to have, through these organizations, a voice in nam r ing the wage, setting the hours and 1 outlining the working conditions of . the textile industry. Thei local or , ganizations will be either affiil'.ated with, the great American Federation of Labor, whose every principle 'S based upon right and justice, or they will be affiliated with the commun istic group now operating in Gastonia, whose principles and purposes are twin children of Red Russia, bred in the slime of secrecy and born in the deafening noise of revolution. The people of this state, the press, land the mill owners themselves, ought to encourage organization of 'the1 textile workers along the legiti-j mate lines ol labor unionism as laid down by the American Federation of Labor. Refusing this, tV.dn the mill owners, and the public, too, might 'well resign themselves to a series of labor -outbursts such as the South has never known in all its history. The textile indusUV. because of the fool things that have been done by the, owners, makes fertile field for t'nej spread of communistic propaganda. Then we, as a section, have adver tised and exploited "cheap labor" as i the clinching argument in getting ' Northern capital invested in the | South, and Northern, mill owners to jmove to the South, thus placing a jmost telling argument for radical ae |tion right into the hands of radical i leaders of still more radical groups. Now the very manufacturers who came into the South from the North, because of our very foolish advertis ing of cheap labor and long hours arc (the ones who are having most trouble jin tlier plants. iThe onlj force in the United States that can successfully stand between 'the text.il: industry of the South and ! communism, is the great American ! Labor Movement, at the head cf [which stands as solid as the Rock of 'Gibraltar, the American Federation of Labor ? one of the most thorough ly American institutions ever known i Jin this great country. ' something missing on . 1 NEWS ARCADE. '! News Arcade, that short but ex tremely busy street running from : iMain Street to the postoffice, is a pe culiar looking section cf the town ' now. There is an old landmark miss 1 ing, a familiar sight is gone from here, and it dees not seem so much like, home any more. fc For a great many years, more than 1 we even dare express, there has bean " one fixture on this street which had become familiar to all people who haci occasion to travel this street. s Now it is gone, and something selems C wrong, and out of place, and there is a peculiar, unfamiliar air about this 1 section of town. Louie Loftis has disposed of that " old Ford car which has for so many r years puffed and panted into and out \ of News Arcade. It wasn't any parti 1 cular model of the Ford car, but wai ?ratljar a conglomeration of Ford; * ! of many models, and parts of ole wagons, sleds, coffee mills, tin can* and barbed wire. It was called a Fore simply because it used to be a car oi that make, and Louie had to call il something when getting his licehse. It is gone now, and something seems to have gone with it. Mr. Lof jtis dotes not even look like he used tc f jat all. Maybe in tilts* we'll grow ac 1 i customed to seeing him drivinf something besides his old car. But it': ^ queer now. DEADLY EFFICIENCY e Several teoctile strikes occurring ir r South Carolina during the past twe j weeks moved David Clark, textil* . editor, of Charlotte, to observe thai "too much efficiency" seems to be at the bottom of the industrial unrest there "Efficiency experts" wer< brought from northern textile* <?s .tricts to teJl Southern employes what it is all about. Their sold object ' seems to be to make mow dollars - grow out of the labor of the same r people without taking into considera j tion that the "efficiency" desired should benefit the. workers as well. Southern cotton mill men who hav? ! grown up alongside the cotton mill operatives of the South have lonp known that "go-to-hell" methods sim ply do not go with our workers. They I are human beings and so rtegarr] i ithemselves, not mere machines to be measured solely in "units of effic iency". They can readily understand any system that would enable them to do more and better work, and ge more I pay for it, and on the whole they are t eager to seize such opportunities, ijliut the sort of "efficiency" that would reduce them to merei "operat ing units" measured only by financial returns to others does not set well with them, ad Mr. Clark, who usually : reflects the view of the Southern mill j owner, appears sympathetic to the views of the mill workers. It may be significant that the trou bles that have so far been manifest are generally in those plants now un der orthern ownership or control. In this fact there should be waring to ? outside capital, which is warmly wel comed in virtually every Southern I community. Those who come in and (attempt to make the native workers conform to their ideas without ques tion will run into trouble every time. Our folks are neighborly folks. They despise "high hat" folks and "high hat" methods have no better repute among' them. They are not opposed to real efficiency in plant ojietration. They do not demand that capital be invested in plants to furnish them with jobs without the opportunity of a fair return to the owners of the capital. True it is theremay at time3 be some differences of opinion over what. is really a "fair return." Some-; times the argument of the workers is as well based as the opposite. There is such a thing, however, as "dteaaly efficiency", and Southern textile workers are quick to recogiize it. That most of the trouble has come about where the "efficiency ex perts" from "away up north" have , been doing their work is evidence at I so that Southern cotton mill owners also know something about the sort of efficiency that is constructive, both for themselves and their feBow work ers who toil at the loon or spindle. ?Lexington Dispatch. BEE GEE'S CORNER THE FENCE CAME HOME (Note: The following incident hap pened about fifty years ago, a?<i many of our old citizens will recog nize it, and recall the persons and the dcta Is. The parties are spoken of as Mr. D, Mrs. C. and Mr. 1..) (Note No. 2. At various places up and down the French Broad Valley one may still see a row of tre? alonp across, or along the side of t ihe road, leading across the valley, or it may be, an occasional tree, ana a line of stumps. One of the reasons for their being will appear . Shortly after the Civil War, Mr. D owned a farm, lying on both sides of French Broad River, containing say a hundred or so acres of bottom land, and extending back into the v, ill = on both sides of the river. Mr. D , j non-resident, for some years ha.', not visited the place. OiK'oftht' traditions is that he had lost a child while spending the sumraei , othu reasons are cited. At acquired an antipathy to the place, and, hi; contracted with Mr. C. 'manage the place for him. Mr. C. owned the adjoining farm below Mr D Also, along the fence ! beside the road, crossing the valley through Mr. C.'s farm, therewas. clcsc row of trees. A similar to I was along across fence a short i.s ita.ice? up stream. \Kout fifty years ago Mr. D. sold Ihis farm to Mr. L., of Charleston, and wrote Mr. C. to that effect and I for him to deliver possession of the 'farm when Mr. 1. arnved. I Mr. L. was a highly educated man land an able business man, and one versed in the arts and graces of tht old South Atlantic Coast anstocraci i a ve'-y likeable man indeed, but, ai fhe same, time, an excellent expon ent of what the mountaineers ^ de scribed as "Sharlestonian Culclur. Mr C. was an able farmer, a de vout churchman, by common con seit a general referee for ^d.spute. and' differences of the ncighboriio^d with an endless supply of dry fcumor and a neat slender man, scarce me , dium size, but strikm? fii?ure *T'V where. _ _ i During the years Mr. C. mana^ 1 T/r D 'b farm, Mr. C. moved a fev ' loads of his fence r?lla (the "??^ i j fpnee was almost uiu versa B. farm. dividing the ' from the- gw>wing ^^5%^ sui ' shift fences back and forth to ; his convenience. ?

' Mr L.'s education included muc ? law, and one of the points that hi . instructor had dinndd was that fences were part of tn 'realtv." Mr. L. sputtered and fun? ' cA and finally when he had calmej s down somewhat, his tirade endedwj^ * h ^statement : "I haw a registeret title ? my land, and the fenc^ar nn*+ fvf the realty. 1 would like t , ?fy?. o?.?.^ mar, mo.. on, 1 There was a wonderful twinkle j1 t the eyes of Mr. C. as he listened t ? the harrangue, and, when it was end ?

Everybody was \ ousy with bid own emergency af fairs Time after lima he returned, and his e .Torts to gel rails became more and more frantic, and the burden of his request gradually changed from blustery demand to humble supplica tion. On ijach return, Mr. C. .gave the same reply, and, if possible, his ap pearance at each repetition w,ts more st?-n and forbidding. This kept ivp for some two days and a half, by which time Mr, C.'s fences were re placed. On die morning of the third day, Mr. L. had made a last appeal, and stopped talking from the length and fervor of his appeal. Mr. C. w/is .standing and quietly looking serosa and up and down the valley. His various men and teams were return iing after the last finishing touches. Mr. L. was in despair. Was there 110 moving that stem countenance? | As the returning men and teams approached the drift there was com mand and direction in quick succes sion. In less time than it takes to | tell it, a dozen wagons were being 'loaded with rails, and rushed to Mr. L.'s farm. Mr. L. was too dumb founded to utter a word, as Mr. C. in a few minutes had several loads of 'rails, and a tot of men at work rt placing the f<*nce between the crop* land the1 open range, and more fol lowing to replace the cross fences. Mr. C. paused, and as he wiped his I dripping fore-head with a large bar> idanna, he slowly turned to Mr. L., I who was too far spent to notice the jtiny crinkles playing around the corners of Mr. C.'s eyes and mouth. ' J Giving another look to see that the work was going ahead as directed, he ! "We haven't had time to pay any , again turned to Mr. L. : > attention to your foolishness.

I In later years, the writer has 5 j heard Mr. L. tell with great glee I "How Mr. C. taugnt him that there f jwor& decent men outside of Charles 1 ton", and Mr. C. laughingly admits . jthat he also learned t'aat "lie cul Iturcd Charlestonians wvre human af , ter all." t \ Both Mr. C. and Mr. L. hav<a long j since gone to their reward, and who i knows but that tbefy still tell and re !teft about the time, when THK FENCE CAKE HOME.
