HOLT TALKS Docs Not Believe General Assembly Will ' Enact Hurtful or dangerous Legis- ; latfon. ' . .- ' ' J. Allen ! Holt, who was in Senator Greensboro Monday and yesterday as : "A a member of the legislative committee that- came here to examine the State Normal aiid Industrial College and the Air & M. College for the colored race, talked interestingly of the work of , th legislature and some of the measures liable to bej adopted. With refereueeUo- his anti-trust bill pending before the legislature, he had this to say il'It seems that what might be termed the 'little fellows' in our .in dustrial system are having a hard time of it. At 6rst the big trusts and com binations came along and pressed them to the walij.aloug with the producer of raw material, aud the consumer of the manufactured products as is shown by thirty of forty ruined tobacco factories in Vinbtou-8aJeiii, all the six or eight in Kernersyille, nearly or quite all in Greensboro the scores of vacant and noiseless factories in Danville, Reids ville, Pinnacle, Pilot Mountain, Mt. Airy, and :Martiuville, with -consequent loss to the dependent hands and their families at those places. : "Under the operations of the trust methods these men'have sought other kinds of business and lu order, to pro tect themselves they in turn have been forced to form combinations for their mutual interests, that are not trusts in the true sense of the word. Now, in the erlort of legislation to break up trusts, it is difficult to enact a law that will reach, the larger trusts without again grinding this feam'e class of men to powder, j; They! are between the upper and nether mill stones and are greatly to be, pi tied : Those who make the laws in the interests of the whole people do not wan, to hurt this class, yet if the law: is to accom plish anything and to reachfthe big, and really hurtful trusts, it is almost isure to catch those combinations which are not seeking to break reasonable competition, v "So far as my bill is. concerned, I do not expect to. push it if it can be shown thatts idnlrieault villi be to hurt NortK: Carolina industries aud institutions and not reach the leal offenders against our farmers and consumers. i "With reference Xo the railroad in vestigation I may ssay that so far we have given the whole time to hearing the railroad' magnates and attorneys i on the rate ouesUorf, and this matter will probably be , ettled at an early date. My idea is that for the larger roads there will be d flat rate as a com promise of 2or 2 cents and the roads will accept this without resorting to the courts. I t I : . i ' : S ' "It is not true that the committee has dealt harshly vith the railroad representatives. For the most part the questions have been! put with all cour tesy that anyone could wish for, aud have been appreciated by the repre seutatives of the railroads. Very little real information has been elicited. Un fortunate! y, many railroad men deem any inquiry j whatever as indicating hostility to the roads. i - "The matter of freight rates will come up the; latter part of this week, and the matter of the freight discrimi nations against North Carolina towns will be takenjup and shippers will be given a hearing. 1 1 "I think the legislature will be more conservative j than- some at first thought; but jit ought, not to adjourn without doing sometning in the way of correcting abuses, and I hope it will not. ; . I -':' :.V"'7' "J . "More anti-railroad talk: was heard froni Greensboro and High Point busi neHS men during the campaign than f.om any other places in the state, and it would come with bad grace from our people to joib the 'claqueurs' in an effort to iujur those who are trying to sift this matter to the bottom. We hear a good dal about 'No rate reduc tion but better service,' but who is go ing to guarantee this better service, if the legislature; adjourns without doing anything? For one, I ; believe in con servatism, bat also .think it will be necessary to put sand on one's hands to bold this eel." :-i ; .. ? ; ' t Land for Sale.

Wanted Six? bright jaeat girls to work in sample department and make up room. j Coulter & Lowbey Coj, 46-tf Finishing Mill.; SENATOR GIRLS ; "FLY THE COOP." English Lassies Prove Source of Trouble ; 1 to Government Officials.. - The colony oC twenty English girls quartered - here under the charge of United States government officials to be used as witnesses against the Char lotte cotton factory owners under in dictment for violating the immigration laws in bringing them to the United States under contract to work in the mills, are getting restless and discon tented in this city of staid and staady habits. Everybody here thought they Were enjoying themselves to the utmost and were given, a great surprise when it was discovered Thursday night that two of the English lassies were missing. - These.:girlfl are permitted to spend their days as they choose, but they are required to be at the boarding house before seven o'clock in the evening. Thursday after noou, two ofv the girls failed to put in their appearance by the appointed time and Guard it C. Hot lines set out in search of them. After making inquiries in different parts of the city, he learned that the missing ones were een late in the evening going southward. Following this clue he traced them tcrthe Groome building and learned that they were seen to enter the building. A search was made, but the girls were not found. Early Friday morning the guard returned to the building hoping to find 1 them, but this time also he failed to see anything of them, and left . to get breakfast. While he was gone the girls left the building, and fearing to return to their lodging house, made up their minds to leave the city. The guard was informed several hours later that they had been seen a few miles south of Greensboro, and accompanied by U. 8: Marshal J. M. MilUkan, traced the girls to the home of Doc. Stephenson, who lives eight miles from the city. The girls were arrested and amid protests and tears were brought back to Greensboro. The girls then told the officers their story. jThey said they spent the night in the building, as was anticipated by the officers. When morning came they were:afrid to return to their quafter on account or tne ract inai iney naa disobeyed rules, and they decided to leave the city; It is now said that the young men wno enticea tne young women away will probably be indicted for harboring government's witnesses in violation of law. The oflence is a serious one, 'and the result is awaited with interest.
