L. Little, of Gastonia. N C., is in the city relatives and incidental I v doing a prospecting. Mr Little, in an interview last night gave a brief outline of the cotton mill try in his city Gastonia is a city of in- habitants and has cotton mills, employing operators. Mr. Little was surprised that a city the size of and it too being the largest inland cotton market, in the world, had mot taken this matter up long ago. have no trouble whatever in raising money to build a cot- ton mill in our said Mr. that too when we ship nearly all cotton that is consumed from Mississippi. Why you people could nearly keep that many mills running in the city with your wagon trade. Our mills consume about bales of cotton a day, and they tell me that yon have had over bales marketed here in a season. There is no question as to a cotton mill being a pro- position. We have one mill with as that cast one hundred thou- sand dollars and last year paid the stockholders in pro- fits. There never was one in the con that went under per cent., and from, that to per Little, what would you suggest for the city as a starter in this asked the reporter. Well, I will tell you, a five o- ten thousand spindle would be my advice, preferably a five thou- sand mill; that ill cost one hundred and ten thousand d liars complete, will give employment to about a hundred bands. When I say complete, I mean that the cottages for the employees. Most of the cotton mills build these for their we absolutely draw the line on com- commissaries. opera get their money every Saturday and are at liberty to spend it where and how about was asked. that depends on the operative. I would figure on about p r, day on an aver- age. Of course, there are many that get a great deal more, but then, too, are several boys that work in such a mill but is a fair average, think advice would if the interested, and there ought to be an investigation, if it is not, with all this cotton in shipping facilities that you enjoy, is to get capital interested in this section. Why. we start out in our country and in a day's time have a company organized to build a mill with a capital of a hundred thousand dollars, and lam told that are hustlers in this country I may locate in this section, and If I do, I will be glad to assist n any way- that I can in this move- This is a proposition that the attention of the men of the city. It is to be hoped that Mr. Little will locate with us and lend material in landing a large cotton mill for the city. GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER NO Major in Maj. J. B. Neal, of Halifax Co., a representative in the leg- this year, and one of the State's grand young old mm, is a visitor. His visit recalls an in his life that shows the man h i is. In of Populism when it was as popular to wail the railroads as it is now, Maj Neal warted the Democratic for Corporation Commission- His prospects w-re most flat- when day a friend saw him enter the office of Col. A. B Andrews vice-president of the Southern. When he em- the friend called him aside and hers. Major, it won't do for you to be seen into Col. office. First thing you know it will be going the rounds that you are the railroad's can- God. the Hali- fax soldier cried, you think I am going to shun the friend of a life time, and comrade in arms for a miserable little Not a bit of it- If that's the price to pay the office can go to hell, for I propose to take Alex.

Andrews, who has more for North Carolina than any man in the State, pro- had something to do with his defeat. It was a danger- thing then as it is now for an aspirant for office to be on good terms with a railroad Post. SOCIETY AND SECT CLASH. Feeling Aroused Over Ute of a Hall A fraternal organization known as the Charitable Brotherhood own a hall at Oakley in which the society holds its meeting- In the same community the religious sect teaching the has been active in the last few weeks, and the of this faith wanted the use of the C. hall in which to hold services. There was opposition to this, and the result was a lot of feeling aroused on both sides. It seems that the adherents made up their minds that they would use the hall, in defiance of the and with this purpose in view a Mrs. Nelson, one of the followers, went to the building to open it and turn the others in. To stop this Mr. N. L. Gray, a member of the Charitable Broth- went to the building and during the argument with Mrs Nelson pushed her off the steps- The next move the swear- out of a warrant for assault against Gray, and the trial was had iii Greenville Monday before Justices Rountree, Harrington and Harding. A large number of people from that section came over to attend the trial. After hearing many witnesses Gray was adjudged guilty and fined and costs. The Reflector hopes the will end where it is, for it is too trivial a matter for a to be stirred into bad feeling over it. ELECTRICITY V LAUDANUM. Suicide is Brought Around by Shocked Sumo. N. C, Aug. 31.-Tired of life, tired of his family, which he had forsaken, and loaded with whiskey, Louis aged about years, yesterday afternoon entered the drug store of P. A. Thompson and swallowed a two-ounce vial of laudanum. Doctors worked and used an electric battery for three hours, a current of volts being turn- ed on the man. He is, however, in a precarious condition. Slowing Up Process And a recession in the Cost of doing things is inevitable- It is certain that the wages and in prices has gone too far and must be stopped. Prices must come down in commodities ready for consumption and the cost to the consumer must be lessened. The cost of carrying on business while it is profitable has so absorbed and near- everything is at a valuation. This condition brings its direct results to bear upon the working mar. The retail merchant, of course, suffers ac- as he is directly de- pendent upon the wage-earner- Industrial enterprises must don development This means, as a matter of course, that, lets material will be used and that less labor will be employed. When the demand for labor dim- and men are out of work there will be a competition that will necessarily bring wages for labor cost must be re- in order to bring prices down. Prices must come down in order to revive the demand for materials. Persistence to this process will only aggravate the situation. There is sure to be resistance because working men seldom realize that they are the worst sufferers from high prices, since the advance in the cost of living that is, of what wages buy, keeps ahead of the advance in wages What labor most needs is to keep up the volume of and keep down its cost. When rising prices produce a check production the brunt of reaction is felt first by labor, and it has no reserve to fall pack upon. The process of adjustment is slow and difficult. But the soon- this process begins the less severe and prolonged it will be- There is need of easing up It is certainly no time for speculative movements which will interfere with conserving strength for the fall demands. It is a time for conservative calculation, cautious and preparation for en- durance of strain as cannot be Journal. TURNIPS. Mr. J. F. Raises Them Mr. J- F. who was formerly a farmer in the section of Beaufort county and a large tobacco grower, usually has something to tell the newspaper man when he comes this way. On a recent visit here he told us that because of the scarcity of labor and trouble to control hands, he rented out his farm and the first of this year moved to Ayden where he rent- ed from Smith Brothers a house with an acre or two of land Loving to do a little cropping himself, he set about cultivating the patch of land around his home, which he said lie found very productive because of the line fertilizers the Smith boys had been putting on it. His crop this year was mainly nips and beets, and he says he raised some whoppers, some nips growing as large as inches in circumference. Mr. went on to tell that his wife raised chickens too, and whenever a hard rain came it fell to his lot to get the biddies under shelter. One day a heavy downpour he could not find a favorite hen and her brood in their accustomed roaming places. After wading around in the rain for some time he went to the turnip patch and was surprised to see the hen's head sticking out the of a large turnip. An investigation showed that had eaten out the inside of the turnip and the shell made a good coop which the hen had taken to protect her brood from rain. Mr. says he can raise hen coop turnips for anybody that wants them. BUDGET OF NEWS FROM RALEIGH. Some Interesting Happenings in the Capitol City. B R.

He has been awarded one of the scholarships for Governor Glenn expressed himself this morning as being highly gratified at the victory won for prohibition in Anson county Saturday. He says he felt sure temperance would win but the majority rolled up was surprisingly large. He says the result simply shows the steady march that temperance is in this State, leading surely and with rapid strides to the time when the liquor evil will be swept from every section and locality of the whole State. The fact that sixty-one out of the seventy-one law students who undertook the examination before the Supreme last Monday for law licenses passed successfully is declared to be a very high to the thorough work is being done in several law schools of the State, especially in view of the fact that the examination sprung on the boys was radically different from the questions propounded I in past years, the whole series I being pronounced by those com- to judge exceptional hard- The corporation commission will on Wednesday hear complaints regarding the breaking of rail- way connections at Sanford and Maxton- One of these has been broken for some time.

In response to an inquiry today Weather Observer in- forms your correspondent that the drought is severe almost over all the state in some sections quite serious. No rain fell here during the past week nor was there any at other places except in the southeast section. and round about. He he understands that the drought is causing cotton to shed and is doing that crop consider- able damage in some sections.

The Messenger, it-- We have little that most usual course, runs along in the. readers of this article have often lawlessness. We are bitterly op- posed to Lynch law.

He closed his story by saying Young man.

Four thousand a mighty concourse of North Carolina men, not a mob without sense or in their might, and despite the urgent pleadings of Overman, Solicitor Hammer, Judge Long and Mayor took the three hell-owned, fessed brutes, perpetrators of a most atrocious crime, from the jail and hung them to trees and ushered their wicked souls to the bar of that Eternal Judge whose findings are unerring and whose judgments are just. What does it prove It shows that the are disgusted with the slow, tedious process of the law. and they are opposed to delayed They feel that where an has been that adequate and condign punishment should be immediate- and surely administered. And this mighty gathering of people, seeing the course the case was taking, and knowing from observation that justice would be long delayed, took the case in their own hands and visited upon the confessed murderers the punishment they so richly merit- are others that would show equally as well. In the year several farms were sold at auction before the court house door in dividing the estate of a large land owner. One of these farms sold for The chaser went to work on it, through these fifteen years has supported his family and had a surplus to make desired improve- and a few days ago he sold the farm to a neighbor for If increasing in value twenty fold in fifteen years was not a good investment, we do not n what would be called lone. And it cannot be said that man who for I this farm did not know what he was doing, for he has lived right adjoining it all the time, knew what his neighbor paid for it fifteen years ago and was enough ratified with its growing value to give for it. Nor does this particular farm adjoin a that made it so increase in value, for its location is fully ten miles from Greenville, We heard another man who owns a farm not from town say that he now receives in rent from it, his share being one-third, more than the entire proceeds of the farm amounted to twenty years ago.
