Big ham stated that he found tho far- ; mers very much In favor of the plan .proposed. -' In the afternoon at S - o'clock a . meeting ' of the stockholders In the warehouse and holding company was held, but there was not a majority .if , tho shares represented vand hence the . proposed election of directors could not be held. Another meeting was call- ed to take place two weeks from yes- ; tcrday( the first Saturday in August. It is expected that some more de finite action will then be taken., It Is ' proposed, If the plan goes through, to erect a brbk warehouse with a ca- pacity of 2,000 bales. v AS TO COTTON MILL HELP. Tho Mill Owner Is Largely ItcspoiiHiblc ... for tho Sort of Operatives Ho lias. , "How do you find the cotton mills in your travels?'' asked ran Observw reporter of a knight of the road yes terday. "I believe that the mills are doing well. They seem prosperous.", - "What about the help! Are the op eratlves improving?" " "Yea. In most of the mill settle ments tho working, people are doing well. They dress better and live bet ter than they did 10 years ago.. "I find this: that the mill operative is Jufct what, his employer makes him In' some instances I find dirty, thrift less, Indifferent help, while in-anoth er the, operatives are clean, thrifts and virtuous. Some mill owners pro vide gardens and yards with the ten ement . houses, white others provide nothing much. Some mill owners take no interest in the help just so it does the work while inside or tne mui: otn era have a care to the sort of people In the mill settlement. The man who ' looks after the character -of his op eratives can ialwayg get the better class of families. There , is Just as . much difference 1n mllVpeopJe as there Is In nleht and dav. "Some of the Charlotte mills havo a :. fine Jot of. people, while others have ' Just bout aa sorry folks as you would find in a diy s lourney. - ' 41 have come to the conclusion that " the mill owner makes the operatives. , If a mill is not carefuf about the class of people the better class will not go there. In other words birds of feather flock together as far as the ,help ls concerned, but I have seen the sorriest type of help working for the most plous-faced-mill owner." ; n.,1 ; i 1 1, 1., i . i .

'After a protracted and not uninter esting trial on the charge of deliver Ing whiskey, Pave Hart, colored, was freed by Recorder, William M. Smith yesterday' morning. The negro was represented by Mr, J. D. McCall. The State failed to make out Its case, though TonvHInton, who is now un der bond' for trial h the charge of Implication in the episode the other day, which resulted in the arrest of Hinton by Officer Fisher, SQ or m6re gallons of whiskey being In the pos cession of the negro. It was not clearly established that Hart was criminally connected With the matter and ha was dismissed. - ' A warrant for vagrancy was then read out against him. Several no Ilcemen Vftv put ' on the' stand who wore that they; had. not .seen him hurtlnp himself with rworlt lately. One of these was Mr. J. E. McCall, brother of the attorney. This creat ed a rather embarrwsln : aitnatinn for1 the witness and the attorney, but amusing tor tne spectators. "Do you mean to . say', asked the attorney, "that you are an expert on labor? .

Colonel rttera and his company played to a crowded house laat night at the rfirk pavilion. The day had becn hot, extremely hot, and it was a re lict to the people to take a trolley rid'3, and rest at the park for the perform ance. The play that was on the boards was entitled ' "Chinatown" and throughout it wsi extremely tragic in its nature. Bowie knives, daggers, pis tola and clubs figured rather exten sively in all parts. There were dramat ic situations enough to suit the most rastidious, and the outcome of each situation was most pleasing to the au dience, which showed its approval by howls of delight The hero of every cmbarraslng situation was Colonel Pe ters himself, and never did he fall to catch the eye and ear of the crowd". He is a whole show in himself, and he was always ready last night to carry, the most difficult and dramatic sit uation to a right sort of successful climax. The specialties, if ' the ap proval of. the audience is to be con sidered, were first, class and? Just the sort to please. " ' With a Greater Charlotte and- a continual growth tn population the erection of a large auditorium and the extension of the car line to the river are hailed with delight. .The au ditorium at the park ia now too small for the crowds that' make up the summer, theatre-going public, and the car ride to the. park is almost too short for a July night With thft 'ar line- to the river and a large theater on the river bank. Charlotte's nleasure-hunt- ers happiness will be at its- height. It is wonderful the'ftleaaure that one gets in the short trip to the present park and the pleasure-giving "ipropertiea that are found in the present bunch of pleasure-givers that hold forth evening after evening. To weary work ers that have tolled all week; the trip to see Colonel Peters and his aggre gation la : worth while in giving re laxation and as a driver away of dull care, , ' ; THE GEM'S SUNDAY DIXXER, if Will Make a Specialty of the Noon , ' Moal Once a celc The Gem" Restaurant Is ' going to make a specialty of the Sunday din ners in the Gem Dining Room.

The two learns which, will struggle for supre macy are the Charlotte All-Stars and a team from Columbia, 8. C, which styles Itself tho Railroad Ball Team. The Charlotte negroes think the name is appropriate because the South Car olina folks will be railroaded to defeat, Each team has the reputation of being the best of Its color In its native State; hence the boys say the game Is for the inter-State championship of the Car ollnas. The admission will be a quar ter of a dollar. -. . ' Charlotte a Sportln; Town.
