HAPPY ENVIRONMENTS,
Col. Ham, in addressing the
students of the Georgia Female
Seminary at Hie opening Wednes
day morning, uttered true words
when be told the young ladies
environments were
ORGANIZED LABOR.
The shooting do\gn of a . large
number of striding miners in Penn
sylvania a few days ago by a posse
in command of the sheriff of the
county is but one unfortunate in
cident of the strike. While the
officer perhaps* acted a little too
hastily, and was no doubt quite
indiscreet, yet to secure the pro
tection of property and to carry
out the mandate of the law, it was
necessary that severe measures be
taken, even though the shedding
of human blood was a most unfor
tunate and deplorable occurrence.
This serions trouble goes, to
prove that organized labor has a
tendency to bring about many
misfortunes to the common labor
er, who'becomes the slave and tool
of some wild, reckless leader the
moment he joins the “union,”
“society,” “order,” or of what ever
he may. become a member. His

.such as to rapidly develop them
into the highest, grandest, tender-
est and noblest creatures of God.
Truly, their surroundings could
not be better. Under tho direct
care of Christian men and women,
who as teachers are without supe
riors in - the educational institu
tions of the south, the heart and
mind of the student are advanced
together iu Christian character
and literary knowledge. Associ
ated with a refined, cultured and
enlightened people, they are en
couraged to put forth their best
efforts and accomplish those
things which reflect upon them
the greatest credit.
Within the walls of the institu
tion these young ladies attend is
found everything that tends to
advance them in knowledge and
strength. Though their labor at
times is arduous, it is lessened to
a degree by the pleasures provided
for them by a kind and consider
ate faculty.
It was extremely gratifying to
the people of Gainesville to see
such a magnificent opening of the
fall term of the Seminary. Stu
dents from all sections of the
country are here to obtain an edu
cation at the best female college
in the South. It is especially grat
ifying to note that the institution
is growing, and that the work of
Profa Van Hoose and Pearce is
meeting with such success.
- -The Cracker has a very deep in
terest in the Seminary and it will
do all in its power to help further
its interests.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, ofMarshfield, Mo.,
writes: “For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and
of physicians in Washington* D. C.,
Springfield, Til., and St. Louis failed to
reduce yIip enlargement. After six
months* constant treatment^ here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a- friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju;
iiw against patent- medicines, I be
gan its use. Before I had used^ one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used yonrS.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $150.” #
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease ana forces it out perma
nently.

In the case of the Pennsylvania
stiking miners* they have been out
of employment for weeks and
have suffered hardship upon hard
ship. Their homes and families
have been neglected and are today
in dire distress and want. What
is the cause of all this trouble?
Simply that some one fool man
didn’t feel satisfied at working for
a certain amount of money per
day and rebelled. He went to
work and got the union to declare
a strike, and all . the miners quit
work. No doubt the miners were
entitled to better wages, but it

Five Forks last week, was in the
city Monday and was telling his
friends of his narrow escape from death.
He had only gotten out a few miles
from Winder and was riding horse
back. He was unarmed, having given
his pistol to his father before he left
town. In his pocket he had $100 in
bills, and he is satisfied the negro was
after the money. Soon after dark as
Mr. Davis was riding quietly along
the road a negro caught hold of the
bridle and demanded his money. With
out waiting foir a reply he slashed Mr.
Dayis across the breast with his knife,
cutting him dangerously bat not seri
ously. The rapid approach of another
person on horseback scared the negro
off and he escaped through the woods
and has not been heard of since.

was
what they were getting than not
to have worked at all. If they
had con tinned under the old
prices, while they might not have
been satisfied, they would now be
living comfortably and would still
have employment. As it is, they
are out of work, almost if not
quite out of food and raiment,
and if they go back to work at all
it will be at the same or, perhaps,
lower wages. Besides this, sixty
or more have lost their lives, all
to no purpose.
And, it is the same experience
with all strikes. Where,-.then,
do the good results come in?
Where does organized labor benefit
the man who is dependent upon
his daily labor for his bread? He
pays bis money into the treasury
of the' “union” to help keep it up,
but the “union” cannot keep him
in ample funds to live comfort
ably while strikes and labor, trou
bles are on.
Organized labor is a curse to the
comrhon laborer.
LYNCHED—IN THE NORTH
The lynching of five white men
in Versailles, Indiana, Tuesday
night suspected of the crime of
burglary was without doubt one
of the most horrible and flagrant
outrages perpetrated in this coun
try in years. Although the men
were bad characters and had com
mitted many lawless deeds in the
community, there was no excuse
for their being lynched after they
had been captured and put into the
custody of the officers- *They
were merely suspects, and. even
if they had been convicted, the
law does not inflict the penalty pf
death for a felony. It is very
probable that it would have been
only a very short time before they
would have met with justice at
the hands of the law. Yet, in the
face of all these facts, the men
were taken from jail and lynched,
and that, too, in the state of Indi
ana. ..
What, now, will the censors of
southern morality have to say?
Will they continue to hold up
their hands in holy horror at the
lynchings in the south—for the
“usual crime”—and pass this
wholly inexcusable Indiana whole
sale lynching by unnoticed? It
would be truly characteristic of
them to do so.
Although Southern lynchings
are not to be condoned, it is a fact
that none have ever occnred which
were so utterly inexcusable as was
this Indiana lynching. No such
outrage was ever perpetrated in
the South—and never will be. .

A SHORT COTTON CROP.
It is now thought that the cot
ton crop of the state will fall far
short of what was expected a few
weeks ago. It seems to have had
a serious set-back, and nothing
like an average yield is expected.
The weekly crop bulletin issued
Tuesday says: “The general
weather conditions during the
past seven days have been very
detrimental to growing crops and
the condition of cotton has deter
iorated very much since the last
issue of this bulletin. The boles
are opening so rapidly that it is
impossible to pick it fast enough.
The top cotton is almost and as
sured, failure, as the plant is shed-
ding so rapidly. The cotton crop
for the 'State will not exceed 75
per cent, of the average.
