He says that his controversy with Mr.
Knowles has gone far enough and says
that he is ready to stop.
His letter written yesterday, in the

The letter was as follows:
EAST DURHAM, N. c., March IL
To THE EDITOR Il would like to ask
| the favor of replying through the hum
mer with horns to the article replied to
in THE GLOBE of the 18th by one Knowles
and half dozen others. In so doing will
say that we wrote the article with no in
tention of causing any hard feelings or
rejecting in any way on any of the man
agemert or any of the young men therein,
but simply to advocate the cause of the
poor depressed women of this community;
far from criticizing Knowles, as the mill
was in operation when he was given
charge and had boys in it at that time. l
will here start with the firm name of the
replyees, namely Mr.. Gentleman Colo
mel Boss Blackguardist Superintendent
| George Ellen Knowles & CO. He starts off
on cheap citizen being answered by a
gentleman. Yes, from way back. Pow
erty and loafing have tendency to make
things gentle. We will leave the article
of the 18th to any unbiased sane man to
say where the wrong comes in-we pro-
pose to leave nothing to dudes or fools.

blows we received, that grown young
men should run knitting machine that
any lady can. Still the above firm name

take his proposition for term, that is
hunting up mill in the United States
where they do not work boys. provide :
he will foot our bill in advance and prom
ise to buy himself suit first, so that he
can even appear decent in the mill among
the ladies, for it is understood at this
writing that such has not been the case.
At living prices as scarce as lady workers
are, guarantee that in thirty days time
there could be six such mills filled with
lady help, but not to work under any
thing that might spring up not having a
natural existence. As present we want
nothing, having been always able to wear
a few clothes, though common, and had

their article, will soon cease.
