BELMONT'S PICNICU The Three Mills Stop for ft Day aad All the Feople Enjoy aa Oatiag Speaking aad Baseball Furnish a Part of the Fun. v: Correspondence of The .Gazette. ' BELMONT, Aug. 8. The Sunday achool picnic here Saturday was decided success In every way. All ' three of the cotton mills stopped to five their employes a chance-to go and the crowds from these mills, to gether with those from other parts of the town and surrounding neigh' borhood, made a large gathering In deed. The order was good. There was not a drunk man to be seen on the grounds, which speaks well for a town the size of Belmont. There was plenty to eat good things, too, including Ice cream and lemonade. It was a good picnic but that Is the kind we have here. The Farmers Union Band furnish ed the music and It was as good as the best. Those boys know how to .handle musical instruments. We al ao had a good speech from Rev. Mr. Martin, who is assisting the Baptist preachers here In a revival, which by the way is accomplishing much good. After everybody had eaten all they wanted, heard the good speech and the excellent music, bad seen each other and told some jokes, ail . went to the baseball grounds to wit ness a game between the Belmont team and the Gastonia Tigers. The " clouds began to come up from the West, however, soon after the game started andat the end of the -fourth Inning the umpire, Mr. ' Rhodes, declared the game off as it was raining very hard. The score was 3 to 0 in favor of Belmont, We . wish they could have played the .game out as it might have given the . Gastonia boys a cbance to win the game they lost to oub6ys the Sat urday before. The Gastonia boys ' are good fellows and good ball play ers. Before long we hope to see them back here and hear the umpire call "play ball." Belmont has a first- class team good fellows, too, and fast players. i The three mills and Supt. Howell furnished the Ice cream, lemonade .. and music. It was very kind of them to do this for the picnic and their generosity will, I am sure, , long be remembered by the mill operatives " It shows a good feeling between em ployer and employee and such acts as these are never forgotten by in telligent help, such as we have at the three Belmont mills.

Independent Judicial Ticket Elected la Teaaesaee by Mote than 40, 000 Majority First Test of Strength Indicate That Patter son's apolitical Days Are Number ed. Last Thursday, the 4th, waa elec tion day in Tennessee, it being the day on which Judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Civil Appeals were elected. Because of the fact that there were two tickets in the field, the regular or Patterson Dem ocratic ticket and the Independent ticket, the eyes of the entire country were centered on Tennessee, it be ing generally recognized that the re sult of this contest would Indicate whether Patterson could be re-elect ed Governor. The Associated Press reports of the election, appearing in the morn ing papers of Friday, the 5th, tell tbe atoay as follows, the dispatches being sent out under a Nashville date line: . The independents elected their Ju diclal tickets in Tennessee today in one of the most exciting and hard fought political contests ever known on the state. Following are the successful candidates: Judges of the Supreme Court Eastern division: John K. Shields. Middle division: D. L. Lansden Matt M. Neil. State at Large: W. D. Beard, Graf ton Green. Judges of the Court of Civil Ap peals: Eastern division: H. Y. Hughes. Middle division: Joseph C. Hig- gins, S. F. Wilson. btate at large: Frank P. Hall, John M. Taylor. The independent headquarters here claim that the majority will ap proximate 40,000. The regular dem ocrats whose ticket was defeated, claim these figures will be cut bv 10,000 or 13,000 votes, and their leaders allege fraud in many places. They also charge that they were de nied representation at the polls by the . election commissioner dominat ed by the independent faction. DRYS HAVE MACHINERY. Te latter represent in a large measure the state wide prohibition element or the democratic Dartv which has been vigorously opposing Governor Patterson since his mem orable campaign with the late ex Senator E. W. Carmack for the gu bernatorial nomination. It took on added strength when the state com mittee ordered a blanket primary for nomination of both judicial and state officers. Three members of the Supreme court, Chief Justice Beard and Justices Neal and Shields and Judges Wilson and Taylor of the Court of Civil Appeals, refused to enter the primary and the move ment was on Judges McAlester and Bell of the Supreme court who en tered the primary and on the regu lar ticket. Judge Barton of the Court of Civil Appeals was also a nominee for the Supreme court. FUSED WITH REPUBLICANS. Governor Patterson entered the lists for the regular ticket and Bumped the state for it. The Cooper case, charges of attempted coercion, and his pardon of Colonel Cooper seemed to make it a fight of almost Patterson and anti-Patterson. The republican leaders, Newell Saunders and H. Clay Evans, entered the fight for the Independents, arid It has been charged that there was a deal following a conference at the white house in which President Taft participated. The Indorsement by the republican committee of the In dependents was followed by a break in republican ranks, and the negro vote, tt was alleged, was solidly for the regular ticket. Negroes were registered more freely than ever be fore and they paid their poll taxes. The revolt In the republican ranks was led by Hon. Jesse Littleton, and many of the blacks followed, but It seemed not In numbeas that have been predicted. Governor Pattersoa ia a candidate for re-election, but as yet the opposition has not shown its hand as to what steps will be taken In putting out a ticket against him, and It Is safft that the result today will be disastrous to his future po litically. ' Last week ex-President Roose velt was In the coal regions of Penn sylvania. It was stated that he was gathering facts for a magazine arti cle on that region. MASS MEETING CALLED. Active Stepe Now Belag Take .To ward Securing C. N.-W. Rail , way Shops.

MAItKKT LOOKING UP. Haalthful Conditions Are Gradually Replacing Depression In Yarn and ..Cloth Market Five Mills of Chadwlck-Hoekins Company Re sume WorkLimit of Curtailment of South Carolina Mills Ends. Charlotte Observer 8th. Five cotton mills owned and con trolled by the Chadwick-Hoskins Company have resumed operation on full time after a curtailment on short time for about a month and a half. These mills are the Calvlne, Louise, Chadwick, Hosklns and the Dover, the latter at Pineville and the others at Charlotte. They have a total of 98,999 spindles and their resumption of full-time work is an indication of the improved condition in the yarn and cloth markets. A decidedly healthful tone sur rounds the market now and the aw ful depression which faced the mill men is believed to be gradually pass ing over. This period of depression has been the worst in the history of the cotton industry and affected mills everywhere. They were driven to curtailment, some resorting to half-time and others cecasing to turn single wheel until conditions bet tered. It seems the mill men have! realized that the raw products of the fields will bring a good pried this fall and they will not get out of pay ing less than 12 or 13 cents. At this season of the year the situation is usually more encouraging because of the anticipation of the fall business. With the last ten days cloth has ad vanced from 3-8 to 1-2 cent a yard while yarn has advanced on several numbers from 1 to 2 cents on a pound. On the finest qualities on some counts it has increased 6 cents and everything points to a steady and continued advance. In "North Carolina the mills gener ally agreed to a curtailment plan but no time was specified when this should cease. Some mills will prob ably keep it up through the month of August while others will resume work on full time if cotton is ob tainable and if the yarn and cloth market continues upward. The best posted mill men feel confident' that more prosperous times are ahead and that the depression in the market is gradually but surely passing over. The South Carolina mills agreed to a curtailment extending over a period of two weeks and this limit was reached Saturday. Many mills In that State will probably resume work today and continue until the new crop is marketed. A general movement of the curtailment plan swept South Carolina and very near ly all the mills pledged themselves to the two weeks reduction of out put. In north Carolina the move ment was not general but local and the mills did not agree to a specified period except in certain sections. Market conditions, however, will de termine the action of the mills and If the advance continues the spindles will run accordingly. At Hendersoavllle one night last week robbers entered the Jewelry store of W. H. Hawkins and stole 1 1000 worth of watches and Jewelry, ' LONG-DISTANCE WALKER. Mr. O. F.
