IN CITY TO-DAY Sam of $300,000 Involved Commit tee, of YTlilcb Mr. Caldwell Hardy, or Norfolk, is Cliairman, Consider ing Re-Orgnnizatitn Plan Sale of Mill Property To-Mxrrow Receiv er Ceasar Couo Also In the City. The creditors of the Southern Cot ton Mills, located at Bessemer City, representing Indebtedness of approx imately $300,000, are meeting in this city at the Selwyn Hotel, to-day. to consider a. plan of reorganization and to provide for the safe-guarding of the creditors interests In connection with the sale of this property at Bes semer City to-morrow at noon, in front of the main mill building. A special- committee from among the creditors was appointed some time ago to look after the creditors' inter ests, this committee having met with the general meeting of the creditors this morning. The special committee is composed of Messrs. ' George Ste phens, of Charlotte, chairman, L. L. Jenkins, of Gastonia, Burton Craige, of Salisbury, J. A. Long, of Roxboro, and John Blue, of Aberdeen. The general meeting of the credi tors this rooming was attended by the above named gentlemen, together with others Interested in the re-organization, including Mr. Ceasar Cone, of Greensboro, receiver of the. South ern Cotton Mills; J. "W. Fry, of Greensboro, John M. Miller, Jr., of Richmond, T. B. Coltrane, of Con cord, and Mr. Caldwell Hardy, of Norfolk, who is chairmai. of - the meeting of the creditors in session to day. As there had been only one session of the creditors up to 3 o'clock, and as another meeting, or perhaps two meetings, are to take place before the close of the day, there will -be little information obtainable concerning the proceedings until to-night. The special committee of the cred itors, together with the creditors not on this committee, spent several hours in conference this morning, ad jourplng at one o'clock, and for this afternoon a meeting of the special committee was scheduled to further consider the interests of the creditors and to devise a plan of action to be carried out with reference to the sale of the property to-morrow at Besse mer City. Mr. Caldwell Hardy, of Norfolk, as stated above, is chairman of the creditors meeting, and presid ed over that gathering this morning, The most Important work that the meetings of to-day have to dispose of is the adoption of a scheme of re-or ganizatlon of the mills following the formal sale of this valuable proper ty to-morrow. . This subject formed a good part of the material for discus. sion this morning in the general meeting, and it is believed that such arrangements can be perfected as will offer to the creditors the best protection-obtainable under the circum stances. The Southern Cotton Mills " were placed in the hands of a receiver fol lowing a petition for a receiver pre sented In the United States Circuit Court about one year ago. The ord:r for the sale of the property was made on December 21, 1908 in Greensboro in Federal Court. The receivership was the result of a proceeding in equi ty entitled "The Cone Export and Commission Company, of Greensboro, et al, against the Southern Cotton Mills, of Bessemer City." The mill has been running undar the management of Mr. Ceasar Cone, the receiver.,, for about a year and has been successfully operated, and. the property is regarded as a valuable in vestment, so that the sale to-morrow will excite considerable interest in textile circles in this section. The Southern Cotton "Mills are equipped with 15,216 spindles and 401 looms, all of which, together with the building, about 55 tenement houses. and $57,000 in notes, bills and ac counts receivable, will be Included in the sale. WEBB'S REPLY IS SERVED TO-DAY In Election Contest Democratic Con- gressman States That J. A. Smith Has Not Complied With Federal Statute Requirements in His Con test Mr. Smith Here To-Day. The reply of Congressman E. Yates Webb, of the ninth district, was to day filed here and "served" on the de feated candidate, Mr. J. A. Smith, of Bessemer City, who is in the city to day. In this reply Congressman Webb sets forth a number of reasons why the form of the contest proceeding In stituted by Mr. Smith Is not valid. Among the chief reasons offered by Congressman Webb is one - declaring that the contest proceedings were In stituted after the expiration of 30 days from the time the election re turns were officially declared, where as the Federal statute, says Congress man Webb s reply, requires that all such contests shall be Instituted with in 30 days of the date oh which the result -of the election is made known formally, and that the party whose right to office Is to be contested shall be informed of such action within the 30-day limit. The copy of the reply as drawn up by Congressman Webb was placed in the hands of Mr. David Paul, attorney for Mr. Smith, ana both Mr. Smith and his attorney went carefully over the document to-dav. It is not nown what steps Mr. Smith will take in the matter now, he hav ing Just examined the reply of his op ponent, and not having had time to frame a rejoinder or other reply -to the document. BOBBERS AT WORK AT COURT HOUSE Entered Safe in Squire Severs Office and Helped Themselves. A rather bold robbery, in which the temnle of Justice itself was entered and stripped, occurred some time last night, when robbers gained access to the office of Squire H. C. Severs and Mr A. W. Brvn, in the north cor ner of the buiraing, and forced open, or unlocked, a small safe ana en riched themselves by whatever sum the safe contained between twelve and fifteen dollars in cash, all that happened to be on hand at the time. The safe was not one proviaea witn combination lock, etc., but a more or dinary affair which was closed by means of a lock and key, hence. the gaining of access to the interior was not a-climcuit piece oi wors as a Key or a little tinkering with the lock would be sufficient to get the door opened. Mr. Brown, upon whom the loss falls, has no Idea . who could 'have committed the deed and there was a noticeable feeling of unrest on the part of many of the county officials over the matterr .this being the sec ond time the court house has been successfully entered by robbers, the first occasion occurring last summer when an upstairs room was forced open and a large quantity of liquor was stolen, perhaps $50 worth. Mr. C E. Chllds, o fLIncolnton, is a visitor to the city to-day. TWO AMZIS MfcET ONE IS PLEASED But Patrolman Amxi McCall Shows . 3Iarked Indifference to the Dem onstrations of Old Negro Man Who Lays Claim to the Same Name The Story of a "Yaller Girl" Who Disturbed Amzi Barber's Equa nimity of 3Imd. , "Whar's Marse Chrisnb'ry?" wail ed . an ol'd colored man as he stum bled into the - police station and gazed around in awe at the men with the brass buttons standing In the lobby of the police station. "This way, old man," said Patrol man Amzi McCall. "Marse chief" said the old fellow, "I'se come in here to make a 'plaint 'bout a yaller gal what lives 'cross de street from me. She Jes laughs and talks, an has com'ny mos all de time, an' you'se kin hear her mos eny time o' de day an night carous- In" 'round. I wants to know ef dar ain't some' way to git her to quiet." "What's your name?' asked the chief. "Amzi Barber, suh but dey calls me some more names, too. I se an ole nigger an I has a good many names." "Well," said the chief, "and who is the obstreperous female, who dis turbs your midnight slumbers with unmelodious, vociferations and bur lesque grand opera singing? ' "Wait, wait, Chief. I didn't say she duz all o dem things. I an't af ter hangrin' de gal. I des wants de nois an' de talk stopped." "What is the girl'B name?" asked the chief. , "She am Ella Jackson, suh Ella Jackson suh. an' a mighty noisy woman she am too, so she is." The chief made a note of the name. "Here House, what are you doing?" inquired the head of the police de partment?" "Nothing, sir," said House. "Well, you and Amzi " here and Amzi McCall go down and see if you can find Miss Ella Johnson Jones Jackson, and have her up before the recorder." Patrolman House filed out. Patrol Amzi McCall shuffled after, having donned his street-coat, - and Amzi Barber brought up the rear." "Guide right; go through the door; forward, march," shouted Patrol man House, and the trio filed out from the station at a double-time pace. "Is yo name Amzi , too?" trem blingly inquired the old negro, after he had gotten outside and had taken a reverent and careful glance at the person of the big officer." "Sure," said Mr. McCall. "Lawdy, Lawdy." exclaimed Amzi Barber, and his step forthwith quickened and his eye sparkled. The trio followed the route indi cated by the old man and located the girl and this morning she sat before the recorder and wept while several of her neighbors, all colored wit nesses, told of the disturbances of the calm atmosphere of the neigh borhood, which seemed to come from the house occupied by the woman. The recorder looked at old man Amzi Barber, and at the other wit nesses, and then wrote on the war rant in the case "The Judgment of the court is that the defendant be confined in the county Jail for thirty days." "I'll take an appeal," sobbed the colored girl, and the court bound over three witnesses and the woman was led back to her cell in the sta tion.

"In view of the agitation being created by the civic section of the Woman's Club the suggestion is maae that some effort be made by the Greater Charlotte Club to bring to Charlotte a vacuum cleaning estab lishment or some scientific nouse cleaning company, or firm, which company would, no doubt, secure a good patronage and, at the same time, be of great assistance toward main taining sanitary conditions of cleanli ness in public buildings as wen as tne houses or homes of the community. "We feel sure that the housekeep ers of the city would welcome such a company, or organization, and would prove that interest -by giving tneir hearty support and patronage. "Yours very truly, MRS. C.

J. Zehm ,of Elizabeth College, states that the choral concert Thurs day night will be free to patrons and friends of the college. No tickets of admission will be given out and no seats reserved for any one except for friends of members of the chorus, for whom a number of seats will be held. After the peach blossoms and other indications of sprjng-ahead-of-Itself now comes the. rumor well confirmed that Charlotte is to have a regulation cold spell with ice and shivers and possibilities of skating along the newly measured bitulithic streets. The only moral is: if the ! ice comes, place in your heels two small screws; expose the heads a mere bit of a. fraction and .defy the Ice to make you slip If you weigh anything at all or at least weigh enough to press into the surface. . i RANEY A RECKLESS BOMB THROWER Illinois Congressman Takes Up Pana ma Canal Matter Again and Makes Sensational Charges of Graft Hot Shots for William Nelson Crom well.

Must Have Live Town to Do Bus! ness From The Greater Charlotte Club Work the Active Medium. The Wagner Electric Manufacturing Company, of St. Louis, has for some time past maintained an office in At lanta, with Mr. - A. H. Mustard as manager, from which point they have worked the South Atlantic territory. Mr. Mustard, hearing of Charlotte and its many advantages, pame to see if what he had heard was true. The Greater Charlotte Club being notified, immediately got on his trail, in an endeavor to see if this concern would not be persuaded that Charlotte . is the right place for the company to operate from. A systematic plan was put in operation, the aid of several of Charlotte's hustling business men enlisted, and the result is that the Wagner Electric people awoke to the fact that Charlotte is the one real live spot on the map of the South Atlan tic States. After a conference of the -heads of the house, the inevitable conclusion arrived at, was that Atlanta would not do Charlotte is the only place. Word came to the office of the Greater Charlotte Club, announcing the decision of the Wagner Company to move to Charlotte, and then fol lowed Mr. A. M. Mustard.
