-A company of capitalists from Ben

Lb.j, chief "ngineer of tho A. V. Rail
road, have leased the coal right on the
J. W. Titley, Eberhart and Frederick
heirs farms, on the edge of Chicora and

The grinders started to work in the
Plate Glass works Monday morning and
the ri'st of the factory was in operation
next day, bnt not enough layers are at
work to lay the number of tables of
glass usual liefore the strike. Many of
the men left Butler to seek work in
other factories. While the factory
officials claim that the extra table which
caused the strike, only have made the
local workmen do the same work for tho
same money as the workmen in other
factories do, the men say they were over
worked without the extra table, To an
outsider, it hardly seems fair for a con
cern which is paying its officials nice
fat salaries and whose stock has in
creased in value 200 percent in two
yew. to virtually cut the laborer's
wages by giving themextra work.
Humanity's a foolish thing
In spite of constant preaching,

A Novel Tire inllater.
Geo. W. Mardorf the N. Main St. Bi- j
cycle dealer has completed quite a novel i
arrangement for inflating pneumatic
tires, namely compressed air. The stor
age tank which is located in his repair
shop is tilled with air to a pressure of 50
to 60 pounds and piped to convenient
points in his store, also a connection at
the front of building for the use of the
public. Tires can be inflated with this
system in less time and with less labor
than the old back-breaking method of
pump inflations. Call and test this
arrangement when in need of air. It is
free.
