About two years ago the Marlbo Cotton Mills, at McColl, 8. C., - a * the Mansf leidi Mills,'- c|t Lumber!c N. C? yielded' to the nagging of lat organizers and signed contracts. Since then they have been fore to live in almost constant fear strikes and have seen their ml stand idle for long periods. Strikes have followed seUlemer ' so often that it la difficult to rem< ber whether they have a strike have Just settled one. We belle that the present situ.Von is tl both have just settled strikes a are to* operate for a few weeks. Theoretically, a labor union, a collective bargaining is all right. It the employees of a plant are ti treated right or are paid less th can be considered fair wages, it right and proper that they shot meet, in a body, with the manat merit and ?ubm|t jtbieir conufain 01* choose, from among themselvi > men who snail represent tnem at conference -with employers. Very few employers would obJ? to labor unions or collective barga Ing If the above was the system v eft, but there, enteres into the pi ture the professional labor organ' -?r who is not a worker In the pla or in the industry but obtains 1: 'living from the union dues paid1 1 those who do work. Whenever workers appear to lo interest in the union and the oolle tk>n of union dues becomes less h cause of such lack of intterest, tl organizer reaJixes that his job Is danger and seeks some cause of co plaint and pcsslble a strike as tl means of reviving the interest the workers and inducing them resume the payment of dues. An organisation of employees, t the prevention of unfavorable wor log conditions and unfair wag* wculd be all right and that is all tl pttbllc sees.

If legumes iwhich have been lnocn lated are plowed under, the orghnlc ' matter of the soil will bo Increased by. the tond of dry materials turned in, andi th6 nitrogen by about 40 Wm for each ton of dry material (roots, atoms, leaves, etc.,) added to the soil, Prof. Williams explained.. This means an addition to the soil of the equivalent of 250 pound* of u nitrate of soda, or about 700 >b?. I of cottonseed meal, for each ton of ^ dry material. A good average growth ie of legumes turned under should sup oly at least two or three .tone of dry ^ organic matter. ?

Su?rey Regiment. But when his Regiment is ordered to Egypt to join Kitchener's army in quelling the natives, Harry resigns his commission. His three friends and toother officers, John Durrancc, Arnold wlUoughby and Peter Burroughs, send Aim each a. white feather to express their opinion of his action. "When Harry's fiancee Ethne, daughter of old Central Burroughs, proves cold to his explanation of his motive, ho plucks a fourth white feather from her fan and leaves her. He then . goes to Egypt and submits to the torture of branding his forehead in order to disguise himself as a native of the mute and branded Bengali tribe. Chapter Thraa Under the blazing aun of the Sudan deeert, Captain John Durrauce rode at the head of hia Company, marching away from the camp of the Kn?|Wi forces, inland toward the bills. To Burroughs and Wllloughby, riding at . his side, he explained their Jftle k>n half proudly, -half rwsnilrf "We are the men that Kitchener has decided to gamble with; ahd I hope your bosoms are swelling The Derotefcea attacked, f flinging bum with pride! We're the decoys that 1 are to lure the ICabdi's army away I into the desert while Kitchener 1 goes gently up the Nile and takes J them by surprise."

After marching several miles Into the Baynaa desert they . pitched camp, the men throwing , up a "zareba" or protectlns bar- , rier of thornbush, all around the . encampment. The sun still burhed ( Itercely overhead, and Durranco j issued repeated warnings to his , men to keep their helmets on at , all times, lest sunstroke overcome t them before they realized it. If only he had heeded his own ^ advice! But when Durrance left s the camp to climb some nearby t hills and sweep the horizon for | some sign of the Mahdi's men, his ? intonthess on his errand made blm r .careless of tho sun's msnace. Ho v climbed higher and higher, grew more unbearably hot and shaky, o Than, Just as he caught a glimpse a of curling smoke and tiny moving v dots far in the distance, he made t a movement to mop his sweating ti forehead and In doing so knocked / off his helmet . s 'It rolled far down the hill; and b Durrance, loath to leave his point a of vantage, remained for on# laet look at the enemy camp, while P thc^sun^beat flercefy doWn on his n wave* of heat seemed to close 01 , over him; his knee* gave ishy, a and he sank to the jmmnd and g lay sUQ on his back.

Then he lay down and weakened by his, exposure to the mn, was soon In a deep sleep. He was still asleep when the Dervishes attacked, soon after lawn. From three sides of tho xrebi the ghostly waves of whlte:lad figures surged -forward, fling their antiquated muskets &n<l linging their long, deadly spears.
