At o'clock yesterday about 20 looms in
the Saranac Mills on Valley street were
deserted by weavers and demand made
for increase OF pay.
They said that the class Of work
run on the two looms In the Saranac
Mill is far inferior to that in any other
mill In the place. Previous to the two

one loom was run IL Is claimed
weaver made on an average Of
$500 for 90 yards of cloth against s1.35
with liability OF being fined IS cents on
that amount. IN both cases, 40 picks To the
inch.
Fines and poor work are the reasons
given for the strike. 1t is claimed that
with the great amount of shoddy put into
the wool IL is impossible to make perfect
cloth which 10 required and that they are
not making living wages.
On the other hand the manufacturers
state that II the help are making anything
Ii Is more than they are doing with the
present market prices Of their goods.
The comparison OF the old price list for
one loom OF four shutties with that OF The
new price list, based ON two looms of two
shutlies each, is as follows:

CHAPTER XIV.
COMING OF THE RESERVES.

The night has come again. The smoke
has rolled away from the battlefield Of
Chickamauga There is neither sound
of cannon nor musketry, except here and
there an occasional picket firing. There
is another sound within the dark forest
where Thomas men are resting--the
sound Of the woodchopper's ak. The
commander in chief of the Confederates
hears it and knows, with generals
quick perception, that another chance of
destroying his enemy is passing. He can
not enter the forest at the dead of night
to stop that chopping, and he knows as
he hears hundreds of axes replacing the

Small pox,

DR.. Henry Flowers reports two cases
of small pox among negroes near Ad-
ans Camp Ground. One is a negro
named John Nelson, in Amite county,
one and half miles south of Auburn.
The negro had been living in New Or
leans for some time past, and return
ed home about three weeks ago to at
tend the negro protracted meeting.
The other case reported is about five
miles north of Auburn in Lincoln
county. An unknown negro was found
in cotton house on John Chisholm's
place. The negro claims to be from
Sabine parish, La, and that he had
been to visit his brother i'll Copiah
county, and on his return home was
taken sick.
The sick negroes and those who have
been exposed to them have all been
placed under rigid quarantine.
The leader., 1895-09-03
a Fine Record.

The present Board of Supervisors of
Lincoln county has doubtless made
some plumbers during its administra-
ton. It's members would be more than
human if they had not; but the record
the Board has made in the manage
ment of the county's finances, taken
as whole, has never been surpassed
by any other Board, and fortunate will
their successors and the taxpayers be
if it is equaled hereafter.
When the Board went into office
the county was several thousand
dollars in debt, and taxes, in
Guiding the State tax, were 1917
mills. All this Indebtedness has
been paid off, one of the best new court
houses in the State built, completely
furnished and paid for, including an
entirely new set Of record books, etc,
the court house yard substantially
fenced, shade trees set out, etc. And
now, in making their last tax levy, aft
er accomplishing all this, the Board is
able to reduce taxes to 3 mills for
county purposes making total of III
mills, including the State taX,-and
with all debts paid, there is still about
$4,000 in the county treasury to go on
till tax paying time.
THE LEADER believes in awarding
praise where due, as we'll as censure
and it is but simple justice to say this
to the credit of Messrs. Penn, Speed
Price, Sasser and Decell, who consti-
tute the Board, and all of whom in a

and snow. The Rock Island suffered
greater loses than did the other roads
In cuts near Limon the company was
compelled to shovel out a mass uf fro
zen stuff that snow plows, either ro-
tsry or wedge, could do nothing with.
The high wind Friday brought us a
good rain that lasted all day Satur-

rain will hardly save all the winter
crop, it made the farmer glad.
