Oroeniboro. N. C. Nov. 20. .Spe ri.il. There is a deep gloom over the f!i:ire community. The sole thought i-r topic of conversation is the infinite ly ad condition of affairs at the State Normal. There are certainly four pronounced f;io of typhoid fever,t the college; there arc now for;y-eigftt stu dents on the sick lit and confined to t::r rooms. It can no longer be a carter of doubt that the sickness is dio to a local cause; and the danger tii.it naturally suggests itself is that a zreat proportion of the forty-eight cases may result in typhoid fev?r. The knowledge that rhere was y ph.id at the college came as a" surprise : everybody. It was known that there had been a good deal of siek-r-s at the institution during the past fortnight, but it was not until Sacur l.iy that there was positive diagnosis that any of the girls had typhoid fever. Immediately after this diagnosis was ;a.!.!o. Dr. M elver, president of the il:t'. announced the presence, of ty jm.k 1 to the student body, :Jnd' inform td tlie students that any of them wish in; : do so might return home.

Fall River, Mass., Nov. 20. The sec ond conference of manufacturers and operatives regarding the demand of the latter for an increase of ten per cent, took place this afternoon. It re sulted in a compromise, the operatives agreeing to recommend the sliding scale presented by the manufacturers, who agree to advance wages five per cent. January ,1st, provided operatives would accept the scale. The scale provides that "from and after this date- the wages we pay to operatives shall be governed by a schedule based upon the margin exist ing between tlie price of cotton and the price of 28-inch and . SS'ij-inch U4xG4's cloth, made from standard yarns required to make 28-inch cloth weighing seven yards - to the pound. The standard by which wages shall be figured from time to time shall.be 18 cents per cut for weaving 28-inch 04xG4's, and the margin shall be found by taking the cost of 8 pounds of cot ton at the price of-New York for mid dling uplands, and 45 yards of 28-inc-h G4xt4V print ' cloth and 32.72 yards of.38-inch 04xG4's cloth at the market price advanced together. The margin fixing the.priee of 18 cents per cut for weaving and . the existing schedule of wages 1 shall' be 75 cents. If the margin sliall increase to 85 cents, then wages shall be increased five per cent, above the said standard. If the margin shall increase to 95 cents, then wages shall be increased ten per cent, above the . standard. If the margin shall increase to 105 cents, then wages shall be increased fifteen per cent, above the saM standard. If the margin shall decrease to 05 cents, then wages shall be decreased to five per cent, below the said standard. If the margin shall decrease, to 55 cents,, then wages shall be decreased to ten per cent, below thesaid standard.' "That no'change in.the wages shall be made oftener than once in six, months. If. at the expiration of a six-months period, the margin for the previous sixty days has risen or fallen to either of the standards fixed by this agree? tbpn at the' besinnintr of the following six months the advance or ment shall go into effect. The said. period of six months shall begin on the first -Monday in January and July of each calendar year." - ' Each committee will report back to its organization, and it is safe to say that a compromise will follow.'

Again there is no official news of military operations in South : Africa, and . nothing of much importance has been received from other sources., Interest is divided be tween Lord Methuen's advance to the relief of Kimberley and the-mutual advance of General Joubert and Gen eral Clery. in Natal. General Methuen's preparations for a forced march is in terpreted as indicating General Bullet's knowledge of a shortness of ammuni tion,.or provisions at Kimberley, which necessitates the speediest relief of that place1. Respecting pending events in Natal, very little is known, and in view of the contradictory reports in reference to Lady smith itself it is impossible to attnch great consequence? to unofficial dispatches. The concentration of troops at Estcourt for a northerly ad vance seems to be steadily proceeding. and if .General Jowbert is moving to the south, as stated, a clash must soon occur. .

A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Stormberg says that Commandant Duplooy, November 15, proclaimed Albert district to be part of Orange Free State. He ordered the British to leave within fourteen days or become burghers. He announced that .a commando would proceed to East London. Other dispatches from this district indicate that though few of the colo nial Dutch have joined the invaders they openly express their sympathy, and unless the British act quickly num bers of the disaffected will join the enemy at Stormberg, Aliwal North and Barkley East. At present the British hold Middle- burg, Naauwpoort and DeAar, with a strong column pressing close on Mod- der River, the passage of which will entail a fight unless there is a turning movement through Jakobsdaale, threatening the iBoer line of communi cation by Boshof.
