FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

MORE WORKERS
OUT 01 STRIKE
Only Two Gangs Reported
for Duty Yerterday
Afternoon.
WORKED IJMTIL NOON HOUR
Understood That Two Companies
Have Sent to South Carolina
After Men and a Car Load
i
May Soon Arrive.
The strike situation along the bay
remains about the same, only ye.ster
day all hands went to work at the us
ual hour in the forenoon. They
■knocked off .ait the usual hour for din
ner and then failed to show up in
the afternoon. Just why the laborers
did this is not known.
There are only two gangs employed
directly by the lumber merchants, now
at work. As stated in these columns
yesterday morning the Southern Pine
company has granted the increase,
temporarily, however, it is under
stood, and their men are at work as
usual.
The men employed by the Dexter.
Hunter company are also at work.
Just why this force has not quit is
;Uot. ki^awn. It. is stated by the mamar
ihg that ito increase
fhc-r strtainge that the men are work
ing on the old scale.
At all the other wharves the old
workers have walked out, and an
nounce that they wilt not return to
work until the demand asked for is
granted. This the lumber merchants
say will never he done.
It is understood that Brown & Cos.,
and N. Emanuel & Cos., yesterday
wired to South Carolina for labor
and it is expected that an entire ear
load will reach the city some time
during the week. These two firms
offered to pay the expanses of all the
laborers wtio desired to come here
and work for 12 1-2 cents per hour,
the price now paid on the hay.
Iti is thought that, a large number
of the South Carolina negroes will
accept Ibis offer and when they'ar
rive they will be in sufficient numbers
to take the places of those who have
walked out.
It is not known exactly the number
of men on, the strike but it is estima
ted that between 150 and 2000 refused
to go to work yesterday.
However, the lumber.merchants are
not. at 'all alarmed over the situation’
and seem *t.o think that the strike
will not amount to very much. They
claim that there are numbers of ne
groes in Georgia and South Carolina
who are anxious to work at the rate
of 12 1-2 cents per hour. and. as one
of the; leading lumberman stated yes
terday “we will have as many if not
more men than are really needed!'
The merchants, of course, do noi
like the idea of sending away for
labor but they cannot grant the in
crease at this time and are almost
compelled lo have their vessels load

WEDDING OF KUHNE BEVERIDGE
Married Milliam B Branson, a Rich
American
New York. August 25.—Though it
has been several years since Miss

Coghlan, the actor, in October, 1899.
After the marriage it was discovered
that the actor already had a wife liv

being then about, 22 years old. Miss
Beveridge secured an absolute divorce,

A SECOND VICTORY
FOR SWIFT RELIANCE
Defeated the Shamrock Again Yesterday
in a Close and Exciting Race. Both
Yachts Sailed Fast, But the
Defender is Best Craft.
New York, Aug. 25. —When the
i sun penetrated the haziness off Sandy
Hook this morning it found a slow,
but, steady breeze blowing from the
southwest about 7 knots per hour. It
also found tile usual gtalaxy of stnal
craft, large craft, medium size craft
and every other conceivable fashion
of craft, cocked and primed for the
third event in the series of interna
tional yacht races, the result of which
would either transfer the coveted
trophy to t;he baiiWick of the court
of St. James or by another golden
spike driven in it all the faster the
ilothholdi statue in New York harbor.
As previously arranged the course
for the race wait south about to wind
ward, down the Jersey coast, the two
other legs being northeast by east
half northwest by west to the point
of beginning. This, of course, was
over a triangular course covering the
contract specifications of about thirty
mliles.
For some reason Hhe start of til
two gladiators of the seas was some
what belated and the delay occasion
ed good natured excitement on the
decks of the fifteen hundred craft*
that carried spectators from all sec
tions of the globe.
The preparatory signal was fired at
10,45,04 and at this notice both yachts
put out their staysails, .For several
two yachts busied themselves Jockey
ing off tjhe lightship. The seething
mass of moving spectators crowded
as closely to this demonstration as
the cordon of police revenue cutters
would allow and the nautical evolu
tions of the two boats as they played
for position were enthusiastically ap
plauded from the decks of the afore
said vessels.
After several unsuccessful efforts
in which the hard work of the com
manders was interspersed with mar
tial music anil the shouts of count
less spectators, the two yachts, re
sembling' in symmetry outline and
contour two great antelopes, the con
testants made a dash for the lino.

Facts concerning the reported as

tlie lady in question was approached
by tlie negro Monday afternoon near
her home. Whether or not he struck

not accomplished.
Officers in the city were quietly no
tified in tlie afternoon, and they at

was captured and brought to tlie city
and placed in jail, and the matter was
kept as quiet as possible.
yesterday morning tlie negro was
taken before Jurtice Lambriglit and
given a preliminary hearing. lie;
strongly denied his guilt, but the evi

to warrant binding lain over to the

it is also stated that a number oi
white men were .looking for the negro
Monday afternoon with a threat of
violence, but I bey did not succeed in
finding him.

CARD 01 SUBJECT
Mrs. F:, F. Coney Writes
Concerning Veter
ans Crosses.
Editor News:
In view of the fact that Hie Bruns
wick camp of Confederate veterans
has called a meeting for today for the
purpose of investigating and challon
ging the right of certain veterans >o
hold Hie crossec of honor presented
to them by the Daughleijs of the Con
federacy, I wish to make certain
statements in regard to the matter
under discussion.
The cross of honor is lie Mowed hv
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy it|ion any Confederate veteran
I appying for same, who ran give at
isfactory proof that, he had rendered
honorable service to the Confederate
cause in the civil war and had received
an honorable discharge.
These applicants, whose titles to
the crosses are now questioned, ap
plied to me in regular form, during
my administration as provident, of tip
Daughters of the Confederacy t.wo
years ago. Tueir application:: wet
signed by the commander and adjti
| tam of the Brunswick camp and these
sigaitures are on the papers which are
duly registered.
There was then no question raised
as to the validity of the claims ot
these men. The signitures of those
prominent, members of the camp were
I iinln vitaleiingly affixed to the appli
cations without any question of m
vestSgat ion or other ceremony, ob
jection or demur.
The applications were duly regis
tered and forwarded to Mrs. S. JS.
Gabbett, of Atlanta, the custodian of
tiie crosses. They were formally pas

bight,y;t authority of the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
Certainly, therefore, it would tip
pear to the just and reasonable mind
that every necessary formality had
been observed, and that the ptiesen
ting of these erossqs was perfectly
regular and proper.
It is extremely difficult to under
stand why, at this late day. tlie very
men who signed the applications
should resurrect litis matter and
seek to discredit the title of these
men to the crops of honor. By what
right they should presume to Inter
est thi mscivqin the bestowing of
these cror-es. rightly or wrongly, by
Hie ’ tgi.'i'is of ,the Confederacy
who alone have the right to give
them Of to investigate claim: is also
diffiv::!t to understand.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
is an organization separate and dis
tine! from the United Veterans.
Those crosses are presented them
as a. mark of distinction, a tribute
to tit,use who fought for a cause the
Daughters love and cherish.
Hie veterans as an organization,
have nothing whatever, to do with tlie
bestowing of the crosses. They mere
ly, by signing tJio applications, tes
tify to the validity of the applicant's
claim. As in this case this was done,
the matter itas passed beyond tlie jur
isdiction of the tamp of veterans.
Assuredly, they have no right to
demand the return of the cross,:;
and since I presented the crosses dur
ing my incumbency, I do nol hesitate
to advise the holder. 1 ; to refuse to re
lingttish them and to resign from the
camp rather than do so.
Tlie matter concerns the Daughter*'
of tlie Confederacy and not the vet
erar,:. who have presumed to veil

ter.
