Factories Starting Up.

CHICAGO, July 24.-The Allen Paper
Car Wheel company started up it's
works at Pullman this morning.
Only two of the fifty employees re-
turned to work. The managers OF the

the failure of more men to report for
work, and insist that the men have
been restrained from reporting at the
opening hour through fear of violence.
There was no trouble at the works or
violence threatened against the few
peOple who started t. work Only
six OF the laundry girls reported for
work this morning.

RusineSS in the South.

BALTIMORE, July 21.-Thc Manu-
facturerS' Record calls attention to
the fact that while official reports
show a total decrease IN bank clear
ings throughout the UniteS States, as
compared with the corresponding
week last year of 1873 per cent, there
was an increase in the Southern
States of 1916 per cent. Every leading
Southern city except three shows an
increase. The net earnings of the
railroads of the country also empha-
size the improving condition of the

VIII Endorse Whitaker.
From the Wilkesboro Chronicle

IIIC W IIhcoDOIO
We have it stated from Republican
authority, that Spier Whitaker is to
be endorsed by the Republicans and
Third party for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. We will not be sur
prised if such be the case. since seeing
last week the bitter denunciation
against Judge Whitaker in the Wins

cans denounce a Democrat so vigor-
Ously, they are figuring on running
him for some office BY the help Of the
Third party.

EDITORS NEWS you be kind
enough to grant me small space
In your valuable paper this week.
Guess work 10 as good as any when
Il hits, but II that was not an In
spired prediction of two weeks ago
what was Il? now wish to speak
of Jerry Botkin. the would-be
preacher and Congressman from
the Third district. You recollect he
said he had Col. Warner already
beaten, and that nine-tenths OF the
Populist party was made up OF EN-
Union soldiers, and that Attorney
General Dawes had made seven
votes for him in one speech, and II
he could have kept him i'm his dis
trict until the day of election he
would have made him twenty-five
hundred votes. This il fair sam
pie of the lies that he (Botkin) told
in Baxter Springs. He is reported
TO have said elsewhere that he had
cancelled his engagement with the
church and accepted a position III
the Pop party in consideration OF
promise made by II to him OF seat
in Congress. 1 have always sup
posed that Judas sold his Master
very cheap, although he sold to a
more responsible party aud re-
ceived the amount agreed upon,
but the Pop party, like the devil,
when he proposed 10 the Saviour,
that ''if He would fall down and
worship him he would give Himaii
the kingdoms of the earth;" like the
devil, they had no scat, neither Tor
themselves or Botkin. When Judas
came to think of the thing calmly,
he went back and returned the
money received for his Master, and
he repented and went straightway
and hanged himself. but what will
this miserable deccivcr do: He can
not return the lies he sold his Saw
Jour for. | would just give word
of advice: The first through train
that comes dashiug along bound
for that country where Mrs. Lease
said she was going). just get on; II
she is not OH that train he will find
her there waiting, for you will re-
member she said in speech at
Washington that she had started
from Wall Street, n. ", and that she
would never stop until she got to
the gates of hell. Now. If you
think she ever did tell the truth
Terry will have no trouble in find
ing her there. She is reported as
saying, "My dear beloved brethren
stop raising so much corn, wheat
and oats and raise little more
hell" So you see she not only pre-
fers hell to Wall street. but she pre-
fcrs hell to horse feed. hell to bis
cult. hell to honesty and hell TO in
dustry. Aud yet she was a leader
of this great reform party.
