la from his lat camping: station, near
Newells, early yeatorday morning. He
will depart from here this morning,
- on his way to El Paso, Texan, via
Uastonia, Spartanburg, Greenville and

Montana Joe is not an extraordi
nary looking fellow, but his unique
lreaa a large, light tan 'hat, a dark
colored .corduroy null, a black wool
whirl, bearing the letters, 'The Po
lice Gaaette'a Globe Trotter," and a
1 pair of oil tan shoes, presented by
George DeWItt, of Lynchburg and
Ills wheelbarrow, make him an ob
ject of curiosity to those who come
1 Jn close contact with him. He is a
short, well-built. nroad-Rhouldered
nan. of about 8G years. His stride,
as he moves along the street, is like
,thst of the North Carolina moun
taineer, long and regular.
Ike Swift, of The Police Gazette.

thone who are interested. In a letter,
that he vouches for the globe trotter,

an Observer man to Montana Jot
Jresterday.
"All right." i
"How many miles can you make
In a day, and roll your wheelbarrow?"
"I made 37 one day. but, on an
other occasion. I did not make but
14. My speed varies according to
the condition of the railroad bd and
the weafner. If the walking Is good
1 move right along."
"Do you follow the railroad?"
"All the time. I find It better."
"What about the trestles?"
"1 would rather cross a trestle than
to climb a hill."
"Have you met with any mlHhaps?"
"Yes, one. Up here at Bower. 26
miles north of fipencr, somebody
broke Into the box my wardrobe
that I carry on my wneelliarrow, and
atole my razor and my plMol "
"So you got alonn- nil right until
you reached Nort'n Carolina'."'

my box while I was Intdde of a
Jiouae."
"What time will yu arrive at El
Paso?"
"I expect to gel tTiere about Mie
20th of April."
"Where do you go from there back
to New York?"
"No, sir. I'm going to the only
Ktate me own homo State, Montana,
where I whh born nnd raised. Yen,
I'll go from El Paso, by train to Fort

Tide the rest of the whj "
"W'liat do you do for paHtlme along

(Julio a little flurry was crested Ih
local cotton mill circles yesterday by
the announcement that a receiver had
been appointed for the Southern and
Vermont mills, of Bessemer City.
While' nothing definite could be learn
ed as to the true state of affairs, it
was reported that the mills had been
In straightened circumstances for
months pant, Tbe plants were closed
down Thursday, and H I said t'n-t
application, has heen made by certain
creditors to have Mr. Caesar Cone,
of Greensboro, appointed receiver.
The Southern Cotton Mills were In
oorporated In 1S&. The capital was
1275.000. Mr. J.-M.-Odell, of Con
cord, is president; Mr. S. J. Durham,
or Bessemer city, secretary and treas
urer, and Mr. C. A. Davis, superin
tendent. "Tne equipment consists of
16,000 spindles and 401 broad looms.
The goods manufactured were Ma
drss and yarns for market. The. Cone
Export c Commission Company, of
Greensboro, were the - sales agents.
Four hunjjred and fifty' hands were
employed.
The Vermont ' Cotton Mill was
chartered two years ago with a capi
tal of $80,000. The officers were
Messrs. D. A, Garrison, president: J.
H. Wilkin, secretary, and . 3. Dur
ham, treasurer. Th machinery con
sisted of 6.000 spindles and 96 looms.
Joshua A. Bailey A Company, of New-
York and Philadelphia, were the
sales agents.
No facts could be Isarned as lo
Way the-. mills were In the tolls. The
past year has been a most prosperous
one to the mills all over the Kouth.
and especially In Piedmont Carolina.
It la to be regretted that the South
ern and Vermont mills ar In trouble.
No ultimate failure Is anticipated, for
tho who are most heavily Interest
ed in these mills are men of wealth
and influence, a reorganization will
likely be effected within a few days
and then the plants will resume
operations. Mr. R J. Durham Is well
known in charlotte, and Is universal
ly liked.
A Gastonla citizen who spent yes
terday In Cnarlotte stated that the
Southern and Vermont mills were
closed, but only temporarily.
