Havoc at Moscow.
By Associated Press.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 2. The govern
ment strongly worded .the announce
ment yesterday that it proposes ' to
pursue to the bitter end the policy of
putting down the "Reds" following on
the heels of crushing of the revolt of
Moscow. This demonstrates the con
fidence of Premier Witte's govern
ment that it has the ability to com
plete the task it has undertaken. The
main cause of this confidence is the
fidelity by the troops.
Despite the rigorous, ruthless fash
ion in -which the war- against the
"Reds" is being conducted the govern
ment is taking every opportunity by
word and act to try to prove to the
public that a repression of the revolu
tionists does not involve the abandon
ment of a reform programme, but that,
on the contrary, their suppression is
necessary in order that a new regime
may be realized.

REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR.
After a Long Quiet, Trouble Begins
Anew. ,
By Assoclc.; Press.
Washingt iu Jan. f 2, After a long
period of qutscence in Ecuador ,the
revolutionary movemeiht appears to
have manifested itself there. The State
Department has learned that .trouble
broke out at a place called Rio Bamba
but the nature of the cause is not
stated in the report which came from
Guayaquil. Telegraph communication
between Guayaquil and Quito, the cap

A New Law Firm.
Mr. Paul C. Whitlock, of Rocking

rison practiced under the law firm of
Morrison & Whitlock several years
priror to Mr. Morrison's moving to
Charlotte. The offices of the firm will
be in the Trust building. Both Mr.
Morrison and Mr. Whitlock have risen
rapidly in. their chosen profession and
both are enjoying a large practice.'
Our Pressroom, Giving Great Additional
The press weighs twenty tons. It
stands about eight feet in height, about
17 feet in length and is about seven
feet across. j
Its operation is a little less than a
wonder to those people who are not
accustomed to the workings of present
day printing machinery. The News ex
tends a cordial invitation to all its
friends both in and out of town to call
and examine the plant.
Technically the new press is known
as a "flat bed Web Perfecting Press."
It is a flat bed because the forms from
which the paper is printed rest on flat.
beds. By the term "Web Press" is
meant that the paper used is a continu
ous web being fed from a huge roll and
not from sheets. And the term "perfec
ting press" means that a perfect paper
t
is made in a single operation," complete
in every detail. This is the interpreta
tion of the technical name, Flat-bed
Web Perfecting Press.
The process of printing takes place
altogether at one end of the press.
Here are stituated the three horizontal
beds already mentioned, on which the
pages of type are placed. Moving back
ward and forward over these beds are
three impression cylinders mounted on
reciprocating crossheads and carrying
rollers to guide the web and inking
rollers. The press prints a newspaper
with every half revolution- of the driv
ing wheel; half the pages being print
ed on the lower bed while the paper is
passing to the right, and half on the
upper bed as the web passes round to
wards the folder. There is thus left an
interval for the ink to dry between
the impressions on a given paper of the
lower cylinder and that of the upper.
For the supply of ink there are six ink
fountains. '
A most ingenious device of the press,
which makes it a more remarkable in
vention than the rotary s tereotype
presses, is the equalizing mechanism
by which a portion of the web is stop
ped to receive the impressions from
the type, while at the same time the
paper is continuously entering the
machine from the roll at one end and
passing steadily into the folder at the
