Covington, Ga., Sept. 21, 1897.
THE WRONG OX GORED.
The shooting to death of 21 mi¬
ners, at Hazelton, Pennsylvania,
last week, was a terrible tragedy,
and shows to what a state ot affairs
the great strike of the coal miners
has led to.
As a rule, we do not believe in
the righteousness of strikes.
They are wrong in principle,
and do vastly more harm than
good.
We believe “the laborer is wor¬
thy of his hire,” and all that ; but,
if the laborer does not want to
work at the price he is offered, and
cannot command any more, it is
clearly his privilege to quit the
work and retire, but he has no
right to prevent any one else from
doing the work if he wants to do
it.
In the ease of the Hazelton af¬
fair, it seems that the men in most
of the coal mines had gone on a
strike sometime before, and it was
the custom of the strikers to march
in a body to other mines, where
the men were still at work, and
try to force them to quit also.
The courts and civil authorities
had decided that this marching
from place to place was disorderly
conduct, and ordered it stopped.
On the day in question, several
hundred of the miners had started
for a mine wheie the men were at
work, when the sheriff, with a
iorce of 103 deputies, armed with
winchesters, headed the miners off,
and begged them to return, but
they refused. He then read them
the riot act, and ordered them to
disperse. They attempted to con¬
tinue their march, when the sher¬
iff ordered his deputies to fire,
which they did, killing 21,
wounding a large number of
ers.
It is not for us to say which
was right in this awful affair,
whether the sheriff overreached
duty and authority or not.
But in either case it is a
against humanity and personal
erty.
Of all the tragedies and
ings that the northern press
ever assailed the south for
mitting, there has never been any
thing like the Hazelton affair
all the southern states.
We are glad this tragedy did
occur in Georgia.
If it had, the northern press
people would have sent up a

that would have I ( fairly jarred the
heavens! » »
But the wrong ox has l>een gor¬
ed this time, and they have but
little to say. It makes a vast dif¬
ference with some people where a
thing occurs as to whether it is
right or an outrage.
But no matter if the Hazeltou
affair did occur north of Mason &
Dixon’s line, it is none the less an
outrage for all that.
The criminal wave still rolls
high over the country.
It is said that a mule with prop¬
er treatment will live as long as a
man.
Judge John S. Candler had 58
prisoners before him, in Fulton
superior court, last Monday.
Some of the progressive citizens
of Atlanta want to incorporate the
whole county of Fulton into the
city. Well, that would be “great¬
er” Atlanta.
A man out west died of lock¬
jaw, the other day*, caused from
wearing tight shoes. That is a
tearful warning to those who
“wear feet” too large for their
shoes.
