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.

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.

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 better to have worked for Mr. Joe Davis, who was cut in the left breast by a negro desperado near 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. FROM YELLOW CREEK. There is prayer meeting at Yel low Creek church every Sunday night. St. Paul church is to have a Sunday school celebration in Oc tober. About one-halt of the cotton crop is open.

L0NGSTREET TO GET IT 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. . The Cracker is for Gainesville first, last and all the time, and we beUeve the people of Gainesville will be for The Cracker. The dispatches -from Washington yesterday stated that General James Longstreet would without doubt re ceive the appointment as United States Railroad Commissioner, but that the appointment would hardly be made be fore General Wade Hampton made his annnal report, which would be about November first.

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.

PRODUCE MARKET. Inducements are offered by the business men of Gainesville to the farmers and planters of the sur rounding sections to cbme here and do their trading this fall. They will be w|ll treated and not only be paid highest market prices for their cotton and produce, but will be sold goods at remarkably low figures. The following are the quotations on produce in Gainesville to-day: Cotton, 6% to 6$£. Fries, 10 to 14 cents. Hens, 16 to 18 cents. Eggs, 10 to 12K cents, per dozen. Beeswax, 20 cents per lb.
