I dealrc to thank each and every one who hat made an effort to relieve the Hltuation of the unemployed. The most of the business and professional men are In sympathy with the working men, It lias never been suggested, only by few, that organized labor make a reduction In their wages to brink about more work. This has been left with all organized workers to work out; this has been left with all or ganized workers to work out. Organ ized labor has given this much thought. We have held several meetings In which to discuss the situation, and wo have coma to the conclusion, unani mously so, that we cannot afford to make any reduction of wuiges, and pay our living expense*.

II has been said to me that organ ized labor has made a mistake hy re fusing to make reduction In wages and that because of their falling to do so, work would not In the near future pick up. I desire to say that no or ganization ts infallible; they all rnaks mistakes, and organized labor lias been no exception. It luih made many little mistakes and some big ones, nnd the biggest mistake organized labor could ever make at this time is to make a reduction In their wages, when we can hardly exist on our present scale when we are all working While, as I say, organized labor has made 11s little and hlg mistakes I be low e thnt organized labor here In Au gusta as well as elsewhere has done more to make good men nnd women and brought more benefits of all kinds “This is the Tea my grocer recommended, Isn’t it delicious?

Labor unions have not only raised J the standard of living to their mem- j hers hy Increasing wages, i-horterdn-r hours of toll and securing better work j Ing conditions, but they have raised, the standard of citizenship of their; members. Organized labor has endeavored to teach Its members and others that there are a great many more objects In-llfe than the mere matter of bread-| winning. While the laboring man's opportunity has not been equal to that of men of wealth In securing an edu cation. the reason why labor's enemies -and especially those enemies which are to he found In the high places— are so ready to brand the unton man as an uneducated "cuss” Is because the kind of education the union man Is getting 1s the kind that reduces the aforesaid enemies’ chances of slipping up on the blind side of said union man, placing a noose around his neek. and leading him off Into the dense forest of hapl habits Ansso It would be a very/ bad habit for any unton man who has worked the better part of his life trying to get a scale if wages to be persuaded to make any reduction whatever, even If hard times do come. I wan to thank one and all of the wavs and means committee of thirty who have and are yet doing all pos slbcl to relieve the situation of the unemployed When you once get a man to believe that you are hts friend - that your mission to him Is actuated by a spirit of friendliness and a de sire to hslp or uplift him - then you get his confidence.

Carpenters and Joiners. NORTH AUGUSTA FIRE PROTEC TION. To the Herald: In your columns of speaking public mind I will beg you a little space to reply to a proposition front the fire committee of the city of Augusta to give North Augusta fire protection. 1 want to say In the beginning that we do appreciate the kindness of the dif ferent-officials of the city of Augusta In permitting the fire department of the city to aid us In our trials with fire in North Augusta. The proposi tion made hy the fire committee was that the town of North Augusta pay to the city of Augusta five thousand dollars annually for this protection. We think this rather high -In fact ex horhltant Before the town of Sum merville wns taken into the city of Augusta It was given the same pro tection for Just one half the amount that was exacted from North Augusta, and the XJ. S census report gives the town of Summerville 4,361 Inhabitants against 1.136 for North Augusta. You will see that the town of North Au gusta Is Just about one-fourth the size of Summerville and in taxable valua tion there Is a much greater difference The Income of the town of North Au gusta Is Just a little over $6,000.00 (six thousand) dollars, and if we were to accept the proposition of the commit tee we would have nothing wherewith to keep up the streets which In Itself would render the protection which we pay for useless to us. as your engines would never he able to report to a fire. Furthermore the town's build ings nre assessessed at about $500,000. the Insurance rate at 1 1-2 per cent would be $7,500.00 that ts tbs maximum rate over here but if we were to ac cept the committee's proposition our rate would be 2 1-2 per cent on our properties, this I think ts about what ts charged for what the Insurance com panies claim ns a hazardous risk. Now what would the etty of Augusta charge per fire to let the ftre department re port at fires In North Augusta'.’ In the past fifteen years we have not had more than one ftre per year. Now don't you think $5,000.00 for one fire exceedingly high, better let the house burn, don’t yon think? It would be a better proposition for the town to pay that money to the person who looses hts house. We would like very much to make an arrangement with the city of Augusta for ftre protection, nnd nre willing to pny to them a fair price hut let It he so much per ftre If the ftre Is put out In ten minutes or If the de partment has to fight to a finish.
