The waters j of the Merrimae will continue to turn j more spindles than any other river in j the world but we realize that we have j Southern competition in the Carolina* j to face and to fight and that we must | be up and at it before it is too late.** j Such was the declaration of Mayor j Moses Vedette last evening as he an- j Bounced the plans for a state-wide textile j war to save the Amoskeag which has | suffered* considerable from Southern coni- i petition during the past eighteen months. “The situation is grave.** In* continued. | “This competition, scorned and ridiculed j by masy.
