Tavener Tells of the Strike in the
Woolen Mills.
Washington, Feb. 29 The
woolen trust, havicg found that
bayonets would not compel its
$6, $7 and $8 a week workers to
call off their strike, is now utiliz
ing the hunger of little children
a.; a club to force the parents to
return to work at reduced
iv:vj:e.
Here is how the trust is work
ing its new scheme:
Many charitable organizations
in cities adjacent to Lawrence,
where the strike is in progress,
after reading of the desperate
straits to which the strikers'
children had been reduced, made
arrangements to have hundreds
of these children cared for in
private homes outside of Law
rence until the strike ended.
Under this plan, many children
were sent away, some to New
York and Boston, and some as
far away as Philadelphia.
With the knowledge that their
children were being cared for
tmderly, the mothers and fathers
back in Lawrence gained cour
age to carry on the fight. Freed
from hearing their own children
crying for bread, the strikers
took renewed hope.
"What happened? The trust
magnates, realizing that if all
the little children were sent
away from Lawrence the strikers
could longer endure the strug
gle, at once issued orders to the
servile police and militia
commanders to put a stop to the
deportation of children. They
kw that where bayonets, per
sedition, unlawful imprison
M:cnt, and all other ordinary
weapons of big corporations in
fighting the unions might fail,
there remained one thing which
the strikers could not long re
s:st, and that was; the cry of
their own children for food.
Tnese millionaires knew that
where strong men and women
could suffer in silence them
selves, they could not long bear
to see their children suffer.
Accordingly, there was issued
aa edict against sending the
children away where they could
obtain food. Immediately a
squad of state soldiers was sent
to each railroad station, and
"frhen the strikers arrived with
their children many of them were
seized and thrown into jail.
Diabolical as this may seem it
actually is being done, not in
Russia, but right here in these
United States.
The woolen trust is the most
highly protected of all trusts.
It makes millions of dollars an
nually in profits on stock that is
watered until it is soggy, and it
ls the same trust which refuses
steadfastly to listen to the plea
f its men for a conference to
talk over wage differences.
Query: Since the protectbn-

EYES ALREADY ON MACON.
Veterans Are Thinking About Gene
ral Reunion in May. T
It's a little over two months
away, but so large a place does
the annual reunion occupy in the
minds of the Confederate veter
ans, that already they are antici
pating the Macon gathering ear
ly in May. The following state
ment from the hand of Adjutant
General H. A. London is apropos
of this:
Headquarters North Carolina
Davision,
United Confederate Veterans.
Durham, N. C, March 1, 1912
General Orders No. 45.
Paragraph 1 . The twenty-second
annual reunion of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans will be
held at Macon, Ga., on the 7th,
8th, and 9th of May. 1912. and
a most cordial welcome awaits
all who may attend. The public
spirited citizens of that city have
raised a fund oF $70,000 for the
reunion and they promises to
make this the most pleasant
and enjoyable of all our reunions.
It is earnestly hoped that the
"Old North State" will be large
ly represented and that we may
have a representation worthy of
the glorious war record of our
State.
Par. 2. All camps in arrears
for their annual dues are most
earnestly urged to pay the same
to Gen. W. E. Mickle. 824 Com
mon street, New Orleans, before
the first day of April. If not then
paid the delinquent camp cannot
have a vote or voice in the meet
ings at the reunion. All camps
hat are in arears will please pay
up without delay and thereby be
enabled to be represented. This
s a most important and should
not be neglected.
Par. 3. The railroad companies
have given the usual low rate of
one cent a mile to all persons
who may attend, ' whether they
be veterans or others, and the
exact rate from any station may
be inquired of the local agent.
The fare is 8.50 for a round-trip
ticket from Raleigh. All veterans
who cannot pay for their meals
and lodging will be entertained
free, but they must, without de
lay notify Col. W. A. Harris,
chairman, at Macon. Veterans
who wish free entertainment
need not expect to get it if they
do not send this notice in due
time.
Par. 4. The diyision is fortu
nate in having as its sponsor for
this reunion Miss Flora Bryan
of Charlotte, whose appointment
ishereby formally announced,
and who has appointed Miss
Ernestine Nuttall of Rockingham
her maid of honor.
By order of Major General,

A Modern Ananias.
Joe H. Carver says if the mod
ern Annanias was treated as they
treated them in the time of Moses
that Bob Oakley would never live
to evn get back to his tent.
However, he says the truth of the
matter is that Bob expected hioi
to tell about those two pigs which
he fed for eight months and then
put in a rat trap and sent out to
his brother-in-laws to be fattened.
Anyway, Bob had Joe on the
run.

During the holidays last year
there was a colored man by the
name of Abram Hemphill shot to
death by pistol balls by some uq
known party, up to yet, in the
neighborhood of Chesnut Grove
Church. The last seen of him
was one evening during Christ
mas at Isaacs Gilmore's house,
just on the line between the two
states.' He left there about
night being full of whiskey and
that was the last seen of him
alive.
He was found in the Dan Riv
er near Barksdale depot a few
days after that. A buggy was
tracked to the place on the vriver
bank where he was thrown into
the water. . There were two
tracks going from the buggy to
the water. One a number seven
shoe and the other a number ten.
The occurence is veiled in deep
mystery. No clue whatever to
the miscreants who perpetrated
the bloody crime. It is hoped it
will come to light soon and the
perpetrators receive their just re
ward at the hands of the law.
Sheriff Newton was at Cun
ingham yesterday, the 9th, col
lecting taxes, and their was a
universal complaint and kicking
by all on taxes being doubled
from last year. The democratic
leaders will haye to be careful
how they go on increasing our
taxes, as from the heavy com
plaint yesterday. If the demo
cratic '0" gets in the mire
we will not put our shoulder to
the wheels to push it out. They
had best go a little slower on
this line.
I am glad to see we shall have
parcles post soon as the bill has
been recommended by the com
mittee o'f Congress and Demo-
crats ana KepuDiicans are in
favor of its passage. This will
be in a measure a great relief to
persons residing on Rural
Routes, and will be a great con
venience to the people generally.
We would have had it some time
ago but for the opposition of the
Express Companies.
Well Messrs, Hiaitors, now is
our rnena ana orotner senex,
getting on?. I saw some time
since that he had an attack of
Paralysis. I hope it will be only
temporary, as his good chris
tian communications are always
read with great pleasure and
satisfaction.
Rev. Mr. Putnam, the new
pastor of Ephesus, I understand,
is making a good impression on
his people. The inclement
weather has been so that I have
not been able to hear him yet.

A PENTECOST AT THE STATE
FARM.
mmmm mm
Rey H. B. Cunningham, Acting Cha
plain at the, Farm, Tells Something
of Great Religious Work Among the
Convicts.
If I could speak with the elo
quence of John the Baptist and
he spOke with the eloquence of
heaven. I cannot but do this
work; which I am so Droud to.
present, justice. I am here as
acting chaplain under the aus
pices of the Episcopal church,
and God has blessed my every
effort.
The Episcopal church should
be proud, and justly proud of
xhis mission field and as the first
to introduce the gospel - to these
poor unfortunates who are down
and out in sin and in the peniten
tiary. It is a great and glorious
work and a cause which any
Christian organization may be
proud of. If the people of
North Carolina could have wit
nessed in a body the services to
night, on the Caledonia farm, it
would have been a decided vie
tory for prison reform. I have
had some great meetings here
and I have witnessed some great
meetings in the Galilee Mission,
but never in my life has God
blessed me like He has tonight.
The farm is divided into two
parts and a camp or stockade on
each farm or part. On Sundays I
conduct services at both camps.
At camp No. 1 in the morning at
9;30 asd at camp No. 2 at 2 p. m.
and then alternate.
I wish all of the ministers in
the State could have been pre
sent. I got so happy that every
body I came in contact with got
happy. It was certainly a Pente
cost for me and a Pentecost to 30
of the prisoners. How my heart
did go out and how my soul did
yearn for the dear mothers of
these men, the dear wives and
children of these men, how I did
wish that they could be here. O
how I do rejoice and thank God
for this blessing and what a glo
rious privilege it is to win souls
to Christ and to make glad mo
thers' hearts.
I feel that God is blessing ay
work, so it can no longer be hid
under a peck measure it must
shine forth and give light that
others may know what a great
work is going on here, I ask the
co-operation of all Christians to
help me in this crreat cause, h
There are 'six hundred hungry
souls here which need to be
brought to Christ for cleansing
and each one is a mother's son
and represents a broken heart
at home. Tonight was certainly
a Waterloo for the devil at Camp
No. 2, on Caledonia farm and
I earnestly and sincerely request
the aid and the prayers of all
Christians that God may contin
ue to bless me in this work.
I am praying to God and be
lieving that the day is not far off
when a church will go up here
on Caledona and I can invite all
true Christians to come and join
me in the services and in the
great and glorious work of win
ning souls to Christ. This work
is hard to the extent that it con
sists of so much personal work,
I have a Sunday school at camp
No. 2 for white and - colored.
White under the superintendecy
of Mr. Faison, a guard, and at
camp No. 1, I have a brother
hood, composed of thirty odd
members which would reflect
credit on any church. To sum
up everything in a nut shell, . if
you will excuse the expression, I
have the greatest and the most
glorious work in the State.

Our buyers have returned from the
markets of the North and their purchases
are arriving daily. Besides buying a big
stock of the latest novelties which we are
anxious for you to see -they picked up
some great bargains in Wash and Woollen
Dress Goods which are just the thing for
early spring wear. To begin the season
with we have placed a lot of these on a
TO
argain
Below we enumerate a few of these
popular fabrics and the low prices at
which we are- selling them.
36 inch fancy mohair, good 50c values for only 35c
36 inch fancy suiting, good 50c values for only 35c
44 inch fancy suiting, good $1.00 values for only 65c
These woollens are good styles and will make
splendid spring suits or skirts.
36 inch madras, slightly imperfect, value 18c for 12 l-2c
32 'inch madras, good 25c value for 20c
36 inch Scout percals, well worth 10c foY 8 l-2c

All the above are new goods just re
ceived from the wholesalers and tte styles
are desirable. All are perfect except the
lot stated as slightly imperfect. The
woollens are regular length pieces while
some of the wash fabrics are in short
lengths, 10 to 20 yards, but in nearly
every lot we will cut you just the length
you wish. They are great bargains and
we will both lose money if you don't get
some of them.

Some Hog Killing. .
Mr. Joe E, Montague, easily

pounds, the total weight being
6289. He has sold $53300 worth

terror for him.
