Ward, Druggist, A BIG STRIKE IH WINSTON, Jhttt Hundred Factory Hands & Oat In a Body, 1 STRUCK AGAINST A WAGE CUT. AH Twin-City- Ministers Made It Warm For The Mormon Elders In .- Yesterday' Sermons. v Special to Thk Tbjghail Winston, Jan. 24 Many "pastors of this city ' yesterday uttered scathing words from, their pulpits against Mor tnoniam and the two elders here." 'Rev. J. W. -Frank v had previously an nounced this as his subject for the morning serv Iceland the elders went to hear him. After preaching he gave the elders the privilege to ' announce their meetings. Rev. H. A. Brown at the Baptist church preached strictly a doctrinal sermon and while he did not mention the name, Mormonism, yet there was a strong undercurrent in his sermon which was no doubt intended as a severe arraignment of Mormon doctrine. Other pastors spoke equally strong words against the 'invasion of these two elders, who in a quiet, un assuming way have stirred up such a hornet's nest. The chamber of commerce will hold a call meeting tomorrow night to confer with Col. P. H. Ly brook about the movement to secure a government building. Congressman Linney is re ported as anxious to secure all data and home support possible. The first strike in years here oc curred this morning. Three hundred colored employees at Brown & Wil liamson's tobacco factory came out in a body. Saturday evening when they were'to be paid off for the past two weeks, they were offered their wages with a big reduction from the amount they had been getting. They refused to accept the reduction and postponed definite action until this morning when after several conferences among them selves they decided to strike. The factory is now closed and there is no immediate prospect of re-opening. It is believed however the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted. WHEN SPRING TIME IS HERE. The Winter of the Carpenter's Dis content Will be Over. Men here in town who by reason of their line of bus'ness are in a position to know say that when the Spring sea son opens up there will be a great revival of building and work for car penters and masons will be plentiful. The demand for comfortable homes is very large here, much larger than the supply, and there will be some attempt to supply it. The demand for houses is largely for houses of eight to a dozen rooms, houses Modern in con struction and' arrangement. A num ber of Louses of that class would find takers in a day. It is odd, too, that the town should not have more flats and apartment houses. Nothing would pay better here than an apartment house conveniently, located and properly built. Such a house of fifty rooms could be filled in few weeks. Of course the proposed extension of the sewerage system is having much to do with the promised revival in building. Such extension will mean theexpenditureof thousands of dollars in homes in the next twelve months. Just watch Greensboro when spring comes. There will be other music be side that of the birds. Services Closed. The week of worship at the First Presbyterian church closed with last night's services. The results of the meeting were most gratifying to the church in the professions of faith and renewed spiritual zeal in the church body, The large audiences "that have heard Rev. A. R. SJiftw, of Hender son, who has been conducting the meetings, ha'Vb been greatly pleased with his earnest eloquence, force and sincerity as a preacher. His sermon last night on "Excuses" was especially fine and some of the speaker's climaxes were genuinely dramatic. He held his audit ice spell bound for minutes together. A Credit to Our Town. .There is an institution in Greens boro that is a credit to our town in its business management and the growth of Its deposits, and this is the People's Five-Gent Savings Bank. Their de posits have nearly doubled in the last twelve months and are steadily grow ing. The Telegram congratulates this ex cellent institution on its splendid showing. NOTES FROM MI dH POINT. .

After the sermon he called upon the lame and sick who were present to come forward "and God would have him heal them. Four persons re sponded. He prayed for them with his hands upon their heads, and in a few minutes they arose and testified that their pains were gone. Some of them went to their seats shouting. This man is a wonder among the 'colored people and much interest is manifested and great excite ment prevails. Sixty-Third Anniversary.

The Appointment of Dick's Succes sor Is Expected This Week, but May be Deferred Till Later. Special to Thb Telbg ham. Washingjifin, Jan. 24. The all im portant question that disturbs the njlnds of the North Carolina ioliti cians here at the present is, who will succeed Judge Dick. Of the severjimeo. spoken of as probabilities, the most prominenari Lusk, Boyd and EwartN However, there are some who believe that Senator Pritchard and Represent ative Pearson have indorsed Mr. Lusk. Col. Boyd, as far as Washington goes, is the most popular man named. But Col. Boyd is very much needed in his present place. It is learned from a good source that he is highly respect ed by the administration in general andis giving perfect satisfaction in the department of justice. Therefore, he is more than likely to be retained there. Prominent republicans also say that Col. Boyd is too young and active in politics to be retired in that . way. If one may judge tjy what is heard in Washington in republican circles, Mr. Boyd is by no means a politician of noticing more than state reputation, but he is a man of wide national repu tation. J udge Douglas seems to be out of the race entirely. It is between Lusk and Boyd, with Ewart tCk a strong third. ' The appointment is expected this week, though it may hot be made for some time to come yet. Hunting the Vestibule. Saturday night, a colored man named Charlie Brown, got full, very full, and with two pistols in his pockets started out to paint the town. Two policemen got on. his tracks ' but lost the trail... z Abo.rt eighoCloctbf rushed into a plae- down the .street where a young white man was trying to buy a second hand shirt, and said he was "hunting the through vesti bule," at the same time landing a blow on the young man's breast which staggered him. , The negro ran, and escaped into the street. About this time Policeman Jordan heard him and made for him. Brown was saying: "I'll paint 'er, I'll paint 'er red, or any old color." "All right," said Mr. Jordan, "You may paint the jail first," and he closed in on him. It then occurred to the darkey that he had no paint and his fun amounted" to nothing. When ar rested he had lost or disposed of his pistols, as they were not found upon him. Wang's Owners Still the Same. There has been a very general but mistaken Impression that Wang, the merry Siamese opera by Goodwin and Morse, has passed into other hands. As a matter of fact the work, which has been the. greatest popular and financial success known in years, and which next month goes" out for its third season, has not been sold. It is now the valuable property of identi cally the same owners as on the night of its first production two years ago. The contrary belief is probably due to the fact that during the first two sea sons the pera's owners allowed it to be produced on a royalty, while dur ing the coming season it will be under their own exclusive management. . They have recognized the fact that Wang has great-intrinsic merits of its own, that its success was never for an instant dependent upon one individual and that altogether, the opera was too valuable a piece of property to permit to be produced on a royalty. These are the sole facts in connection with the many published rumors. It is a recognized fact among- managers that -the opera goes out this season with more monoy behind it and more money lavished upon its production than ever before.
