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 ;

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.
