Experiences of Northern Weaver VIII,
Went South.

Lowell, May ss.-A reporter on one of
the Lowell papers, who is also an expert
cotton weaver, left work at reporting here
recently and went South to grow up with
the country and take advantage of the
magnificent boom in cotton manufactur-
ing said to exist there He says that the
Chester, N. c., mills paid 81 per chain to
quillers, weavers 25 cents per cut, beamers
81 per chain. The superintendent is a
Northern man, and got IS, but they pay
more to Northern men than to Southern
men for the same work. The boss weaver
got 50 day and the loom fixers 81. so,
slasher tenders $1.25, fnishers rs cents,
dye house men so cents, boys 30 cents,
and some dryers 81 and some rs cents.
The boss dyer, a Lewiston man, got So sc
a day. The Northerners and families are
octracized, so there is no pleasure for
them.
The mill runs twelve hours per day,
and six days in a week. Board is So. so
per week, the fare being hog and hominy,
eggs and hot biscuit He did not see a
piece of steak while there. He deems it
a country of unfulflled promises where
people slave for pittance, and where
Northern people work with the most
ignorant whites.

CRUEL WAR is OVER.
Bell Gobbies Up the Dirigo Telephone
Company of Augusta.
Especial to the PRESS. J

Augusta, May 28-It looks now as II
the telephone war which has been going
on in Augusta for the past few months
will, in few days, be amicably settled.
Negotiations are now pending between
the Bell Telephone Company and the
Dirigo Telephone Company, looking to
the consolidation of the two concerns,
and in few days the result will be an
nounced.
The Dirigo Company was organized
January by Mr.. Charles H o Brien. Soon
after stock company was organized
with Mr. O. Brien as general manager. !. In
spite of the greatest opposition from
the Bell people Mr.. o Brien has succeed
ed in giving Augusta fine telephone
system at a much reduced rate. The old
price OF the Bell telephone was $45 a year
and the Dirigo $25. The Bell company
not to be beaten by the cut in price,
came down to $1S year and secured a
large number of new subscribers. The
Dirigo company did not cut their price
from $685. and despite the drop in price
of the Bell company, did rushing busi-
ness and put in new telephones daily
The scheme of consolidation, it is un-
derstood, is to make the price $50 per
year, and Mr.. O'Brien will be chosen
superintendent of the consolidated COM
pany. The people of Augusta will be
more than satisfied at the new departure
as hereafter most any man can afford
to keep one of these useful instruments
in his office or residence.

INTEREST IN THE FAIR INCREASING.
Many of Our Leading Merchants Offer
Special Premiums.

Great interest is being displayed by many
of our Portland merchants in the floral
parade, which is to be the leading fea-
ture of the second day of the New Eng
land fair. Many special premiums have
been already contributed. One gentle
man, who is too modest to allow the use
of his name, but who is said to be
great lover of horses and flowers, and is
surely, by the terms of his offer, an
admirer of the fair sex, has offered
premium of $50 co. $500 for the best
decorated four-in- hand, and $40. 90 for the
belle of the parade. The last condition
will enable all to judge what eyes for
beauty our New England governors have,
for they are to act as the committee of
award.
For the best decorated tandem, Goudy
& Kent and Randall & McAllister have
contributed SIS each, while the FO.
Bailey Carriage Company offer a superb
English coaching whip.
For the best two-horse team, Mr. c. r.
Milliken offers $40, and Ira f. Clark
and Co., and Bolster, Snow and Co. offer
$40 each. For the best single hitch
Hooper, Son and leighton, Skillin,
Hawkes. and Co., and Us. Winslow and
Co. offer SO each
For the best saddle horse ridden by a
lady, j. F. Rand, Il H Boynton and Fred
A. Bibber have contributed s5 each.
The total amount offered in each class
will be divided into first, second and
third prizes. In judging the decorations
of the vehicles, horses. trappings and
general effect, will be considered.
Any further offers of special premiums
once in order to. ensure insertion in the
premium list which is soon to go to the
printers.
1t has been decided to give prize of
$40 to the person offering the best sug-
gestion for the decoration of float or
carriage in the parade. Sketches or letters
should be sent to Mr.. H. f. Farnham.
One of the most attractive exhibits at
City Hall will be that of the china paint
ing department. The 20 members of the
Portland China Decorators Club have
all promised individual contributions
and will secure all specimens possible
from their friends in other cities. Ex-
tremely liberal premiums are offered in
this department.
The second payments on the stakes TO
the October meeting were due last Sat
urday and are now all in. These pay
ments disclose the fact that q surprising
ly small percentage of the original nomi-
nations have failed to hold their interest
and there is every reason to believe that
the fields of starters will be phenomenal
| ly large.
Entries for the New England Fair
stakes close June 18th, for the July meet
ing, the first of the season, June 25th.
