Nor. 18 The re quett of the Textile Council for a conference with the cotton mill m mufacturera regarding the an nounced plan of the manufacturer t return on November 23 to the wage schedule in existence prior to March 17, 1O02, has Deen referred to the executive committee of del egate to the council, still hope, however, for a favorable answer from the Manufacturers' Associa tion. The committee meets Wed nesday evening, at which time the various unions will discuss the situation. The council withes to lay before manufacturers a plan of retrench ment less burdensome to the opera- tives than a return to the schedule of 1902, which means practically a 10 per cent, cut in wages. It it believed that there is little likeli hood that the manufacturers can be prevailed upon to reconsider their decision. That oppo'sitiou to the new schedule will take the form of a strike 1 still more doubt ful. Failing to effect a compro mise, the leaders cf tne operatives are inclined to nuke the belt ot the situation for the present. The Confederate Veterans The long grey line of Confeder ate veterans at the recent encamp ment in Ktleiglt was a sight to stir one' blood.

But the ap plause of history comes too late; and while they are yet with u, we should see to it that the survivor of the fitanic struggle between the North and South receive an earn est of the glory they have earned. Raleigh honored itself in honoring t he veterauf. Progressive Farmer Indicted for Bribery. Charlotte Observer.

TKe CBis xUnder MriagemenLt of Southern Lyceum Bureau PRESS COMMENT: "A thoroughly appreciative audience greeted the Mon tauk Ladies' Quartette The ladies presented a classical appearance dressed in white with the student s black cap and gown Outside of most magnificent voices, each pos' sessed charms peculiarly her own 'which grew on. one as the acquaintance ripened. Miss Nanette Hammond was all grace and stateliness and made one think of Portia as she appeared in the role of advocate of justice,. Miss Est e lie Richardson, perhaps, possessed the richest voice, and its rare mezzo quality came out beautifully in Streletzski's 'Dreams', Little Miss May Maxon was irresistible, so the young men say, and she appeared at her best in the lullaby 'Alabama Coon.' Miss Helen Taylor who produced the fun for the evening was charming with her ebullitions of spirit and gen" uine bon homme as she delighted the audience with comic rzadings. The quartette features of the evening were done to the complete satisfaction of everybody and the Montauk Ladies' Quartette merited the wildly enthusiastic reception accorded it" McKinney Texas, Daily Courier, March 13, 1903.
