The Finest Cotton Factory in the State.
It is the universal Opinion of experienced
men who have seen the partly constructed
building, that the Holt Cotton Mill will be
the finest building of the kind ever erect
ed in the State. It is massive both in con
struction and size and is built for future
generations of Holts we hope.
The Flea Hill Trouble.
No news from.Flea Hill to-day. Every
thing is apparently quiet, though trouble
may break out at any moment like a vol
cano. No arrests have been made as yet,
but it is said that there are strong cir
cumstance pointing to the guilt of several
persons. It is feared that bloodshed will
follow any arrests. We will keep our
readers posted from day to day.
Keep Straight-ahead.
The numerous collisions which are daily
occuring between bicyclists and .pedes
trians leads us to again call attention to
the rule that when a bicyclest rings his
bell it is not intended as a notice to the
person in front to get out of the way, but on
the other hand to keep straight-ahead. So
many people upon hearing a bell jump to
one side Or the other that a collision is unavoidable.
Important News.
We have -just received a telegram from
Washington as follows:
"Prices for Bonds run from 105 to 119.
J. Pierpont Morgan said he would take
one million at 110."
It will be remembered that the secret
issue last year brought only 104$.
The reader will find in another column
yesterday?s prognostications of the bond
bidding.
