He claims that Ruther ford county is now the banner county in the State in number of spindles and in the manufacture of cotton. He says he used to run a cotton mill across the river from Caroleen, with about 200 cr 300 spindles, and wTorked two bales per day. He thought then that was .a big thing in that country where land was $1 an acre. The num ber of spindles now in the county is as follows: Caroleen and Henrietta, 71,150; Forest City, 13,000; Rutherfordton, 6,240; total, 90,390.

More Than a Thousand Negroes Have Been Vaccinated He Thinks it the Duty of the Peo. pie to Support the Authorities in the Matter of Vaccination. Mr. Editor: I am sorry that it has become necessary for me, in the in terest of truth, to have to publicly cor rect a wrong impression which seems to have gone out with reference to the enforcement of the vaccination ordin ance, and I would not do so, but for the gross and wanton misrepresenta tion of the facts in an inflammatory article which appeared in your val uable paper on yesterday evening signed by Mr. J. iA. Baldwin, a minis ter of the Gospel, who preaches direct ly to the mill operatives, and with whom he, no doubt, has considerable influence. In the first place .Mr. Bald win is totally ignorant of the facts about which he talks so glibly, because if he had been familiar with them, I know he would never have written this ill-timed article. He evidently seeks to give color and emphasis to the "Cock-and-bull-stori.es," which have been put in motion 'by some fel low who imagines that he has been "discrimiTiatea .; against" in i? the en forcemeht of the ordinance referred to. The truth is, we never thought of discriminating against the mill peo ple. In fact the ordinance has been enforced upon all classes. Mr.. Bald win is not aware of the fact that we had been busy for-a whole week vac cinating the colored people before wo began at the cotton mills. No parade of this has been made in the city pa pers because the colored people, be it' said to their credit have offered prac Really no rjesstance, and they are still, beingf vaGcjhtedftoy the score, t;r WJiy his it that these friends - X ?l of the mill folks have not taken up-the cudgel in defense of the little school children at the City Graded Schools who were the first victims of this vac cination law? There are about 2,500 children in these schools, every one of whom has had to bare his little arm to the vaccination knife, and they are the children of all classes in the city. The doctors tell me that outside of these schools they have vaccinated about 500 whites and about 1,000 ne groes. iDoes this look, like discrimi nation against mill hands? If Mr. Baldwin will furnish us with a list of the clerks, bookkeepers, agents, business men, professional men and "Nigger Cooks" who have not been vaccinated, we will see to it that they are vaccinated or "exhaust the judiciary" in the effort: Again we have spared no pains to be kind and considerate toward the poorer classes of our city in the enforcement of this ordinance. We first gave them a chance to be vaccinated voluntarily and hundreds of them did so. And then we went to the mills and told the operatives that we would allow them to select their own doctors without any cost to them, and thi numbers cf them did. In fact we have had. no trouble except in communities where some "Smart Aleck" had advised that the law was "onconstitutional," etc. My idea of good citizenship is that we should uphold the authorities in enforcing a law which' is intended to mitigate and stamp out this most loathsome of infectious diseases smallpox. And I wokfld modestly sug gest to my Brother! Mwin that he could do more good i by; axl vising his parishioners to. quietly submit to the "Powers that be," jds'tea'd of lecturing the city officials for doing their duty and circulating articles which ar calculated to stir up bad blood and! incite those people to insurrection and resistance to law and order. J. D. McCALL, Mayor. WILL MAKE CHARLOTTE HER HOME. Miss Anna L. DeVane, of Fayette ville, N. C, is at the home of N. M. Lawrence, 900 South Tryon street, Miss DeVane as a" graduate of St. Luke's hos pital .South Bathlehem, Pa., and ha had (three years experience as a train ed nurse in institutional and private work. She comes to make her home in Charlotte. ANOTHER PRESSED BRICK PLANT In addition to the pressed, brick plant that the News spoke of several days ago, it is learned that Mr. S. -J.

The interest that .centeretfy--in the McCabe case which was heard J, yesterday morning, was brought to a sudden end by the case being appealed1 , to the superior court. .While the vacci nating physicians are still doing some work,, they are not doing the wholesale business that they did several days ago. This, the physicians say, is due to the fact that a large majority of the citizens of Charlotte have -been vacci nated. The vaccinating at the Louise Mill still continues. The mill has employed a special physician to do the work and the hands are submitting without, the this troublesome matter is about at an this troublesome matteris about at an end: . ALIVE AND Af THE COURT. George sBerryhill, a well known old darkey of this city, was out yester day soliciting funds to bury his wife. The police suspected that the o!Id ne gro was telling a fairy tale and arrest ed hiim. This morning just as George was going into the court room to tell of the great injustice that had been done him, he was confronted by his "better half." He never attempted to offer any explanation. Just simply acknowledged the corn and went hack to the tombs. When seen by a News reporter this morning, Berryhill. said he thought sheifb'& wife) were dead as she had faeeh "ailing ; for a good bit-. : . - - - V SEEKING LIGHT. ' , An old darker from the country Was Jn the city this morning. He says the object of his visit was to ascertain whether, or not the vaccination ordi nance now in force in Charlotte applies to the Catawha river section. He says his wife prevailed on him1 to come to Charlotte and find out the truth. Up in his section the old darkey says, the "niggers" are taking to the wooda. Whenever they see a man from Char lotte they think right away that he is-' the "smallpox physician." HAD NO INSURANCE IN THE MU ''. : TUAL. It was stated several days ago that Mr. J. C.
