BERRYVILLE, VA, Ar'ril 13.-(Spe-

William b. Page for forgery, was devoid
OF anything OF particular interest, the
time OF the Court being occupied in the

WHY THE MILLS COME SOUTH

New England Manufacturers Give the
Causcs-ENpcricncc Shows that
They Cannot Compete With the
South.
The committee on mercantile affairs
at the State House in Boston has be-
gun an investigation as TO the removal
of their taxtile corporations to other
the opening day is quite significant
Hon. w. G.. Lowering said that a
great deal of loose talk had been in
dulged in by newspapers, especially in
the South, which would seem to indi-
cate that there was about to be STAN
pede. There are grave dangers
threatening our industries. The near
ness OF the cotton fields, supply of coal.
cquable climate daylight all the wear
round, and cheaper labor and 66 hours
against SO, abundant water power, are
all in favor of the South against Mas
sachusetts. 1t has been said that
there is skilled labor in the South. 1t
requires more skill for adjusting and
less for mending machinery than
twenty years ago. The real point is
that there is SO much restrictive legis-
lation in Massachusetts. We cannot
compete with our neighbors We
have reached the danger line, and it
should be stopped. We should wait
until our neighbors and other coun-
tries catch up before enacting any
more in the direction of shorter hours
or twenty other harassing things like
employers liability, which is a burden.
He did not ask its repeal. but Massa-
chusetts industries should not be dis
criminated against by her own legisla-
tion.
Mr.. Lowering said he believed that
SOuthcpncrs could not tend looms sue
cessfully. He did not doubt that, but
there would be labor legislation imme-
diately in the South, but there are
still many advantages in manufacture
ing there. Committees from the South
are continually in this city. There is
one in Boston now. Howard Nichols.
treasurer Of the Dwight Mills at Chi
copee, said his concern had built u
mill i'm the South. They were wanted
there, while there was too much re-
strictive Legislation here. They were
obliged to spend altogether too mucn
time at the State House fighting legis-
lation. His mill would prefer to re-
main here, but was discouraged. His
mill was then in Northern Alabama.
Mr.. Moriarty, of WOrchcster, had
tilt with Mr.. Nichols, the latter deny
ing Mr.. M0riarty's allegations that last
year he claimed that the chief advan-
tage in going South was to be near the
raw material. The three items,
cheaper coal cotton and labor, were
the principal attractions. The Dwight
mill was to make coarse goods. He
had been in a North Carolina mill,
however, where they were using yarns
much finer than the average in the
North. The company asked permits
sion to go south last year instead OF
organizing under Alabama laws. in or
der to save the trade marks. 1t ex
pected its goods would be better made
there because the machinery would be
now and improved. Only sthe picker
hands in the South are negroes. The
white hands are all from the noun
tain districts. They are far mote in
tclligcnt than thosc in Northern mills |

bullet proof every time, and worth q
good sight more than the $5 that Pm
waiting for you to pay me-"
Well ! Halsey he went home pretty
mad, without waiting to see Miss
Payson, and the very next day he
begins suit for divorce. That's the
great divorce suit L was telling you
about when l pointed out Rev. Mr..
Humphreys to you. It's been dragging
along for four years. Sometimes it's
decided in favor of Halsey, and some
times in favor of Miss Payson, and
then it's always appealed, and has to
be tried over again. Miss Payson,
she sticks to it that Halsey had agreed
to marry her, and that he understood
perfectly we'll everything the parson
said while the ceremony was going on.
The parson says that Halsey nodded
as was agreed upon when he asked
him If he took Miss Payson to be his
welded wife, and all that sort of thing,
and that Halsey had hold of the rope
that was tied to Miss Payson. which
was all the same as having hold of her
hand. On the other hand Halsey
swears that he never meant to marry
the woman, and never knew that a
marriage ceremony was being gone
through with, but that he had just
nodded out Of friendliness when he
saw the parson waving his hand at
him. The evidence, as YOU can see, is
pretty straight against him, and when
he does happen to get a verdict 1t costs
him IL powerful lot of money, for our
jurymen are mighty honest and high
toned, and it takes good deal OF
money to induce them to finally decide
that a man can be married to Halsey.
Pm interested in the case, because of its
Importance, for il the courts finally
decide that man can be married to a
woman when he is seventy-five feet
above her, and don't know what is
going on, none of us is safe, and first
you know some woman that is rushing
through here on the express will be
married to ME while | am selling
tickets in my Office, and knowing nc
more about it than child unhung.
Well there is no use sitting and
dreading dangers that may never
come to time, and | suppose If it's q
mans fate TO be married he's got to
knock under, and there's no good in
worrying himself over it till the time
comes"

In his Chicopee mills the help are
mostly Bohemians and French. far
inferior class to thUse in the South.
AS to climate Mr.. Nichols claimed
that it was more equabie in the South
ern mill districts than in the North.
The ChicOpee mills could not start un-
til o'clock yesterday because of the
ice in the. canals.
Arthur L. Lyman, treasurer of the
Lowell Carpet Company, said he did
not object to labor legislation. In his
mill the advance in wages had been
40 per cent, while the price of goods
had gone down 80 per cent. The ten
hour time was short enough if u man
really desired to work. A six-hour
day would close all the mills in the
State. 1t was fact that thousand of
spindles are going into the South that
ought to be put into Massachusetts.
Mr.. Lyman thought the tax system
OF the State particularly we'll devised
to drive people out of the State. The
offer from the Southern States in
cluded exemption from taxation for
ten years.
Edward Stanwood, special agent to
collect statistics on cotton manufac-
lures for the eleventh census, said
that all the statements made by the
gross figures in the States, tho cost
OF land and buildings is less than in
the North. The price of coal is lower,
and so are the wages, while the hours
of labor are longer. The price OF cot.
ton is less there, while the price of ma
chinery is less at the North. Ouc hun
dred years ago Massachusetts offered
bounties for improved machinery and
until few years ago every encourage
ment has been given to manufacturers.
Joseph 'Healy, of Fall River, said
that for six years he had insisted that
the South had the advantage over the
North in manufacturing. This had
now been proven.

minion?"
The selected speakers were Azel F
Hatch, in the affirmative; Congressman
D. Cooke, in the negative; Harry Reubens,
in the affirmative, and William E. Mason,
in the negative.
| The discussion took wlde range, and
this desirability of absorbing Canada,
MEXICO ana Hawaii was discussed. But
the matter dwelt on most earnestly was
the annexation of Cuba, which was learn
edly handled by some of the speakers.
Mr.. Hatch was in favor Of extension in
order that the market might be enlarged.
If Hawaii wanted to raise the flag this
country ought to take advantage of it.
The Nicaraguan canal should be aided
and the United States should become the
envy OF the world.
Mr.. Cooke, on the other hand, spoke of
the "Lust for Territorial GAIN" and called
it a "colossal crime" Social and political
reform, he thought, should engage the at
tention of the Americans. He took up
Canada, Mexico, Hawaii and Cuba, and
to the question, "Shall they be annexed ?"
he returned an emphatic "No." Thoy
should be aided In maintaining inde-
pendent republican governments, he said,
but not annexed.
The meeting was largely attended by
representative citizens.

The Wool Market.

Boston, Oct. 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says of the wool
trade: There has been a good demand
for wool the past week and the market
shows continued strength and a firm tone.
Medium and coarse wools evidenced an
i'm proving demand. Fine woods continue
active. Prices are practically unchanged
and users are meeting dealers readily at
existing prices.
The Boston market has ruled active,
fine to coarse and medium woods selling
in good lots. The recent and past ehor-
nous sales Of Australian have greatly re-
duoed the supply of most kinds of that
wool in this market, but fairly active
business was done here during the first
half of the period under review. Itlooks
as though the high price of Australian
GROSS breeds had turned the current in the
direction of domestic medium wools, and
similarly as if the current rates for all
kinds Of Australian had drawn increased
attention to the territorial woods, Of which
large sales have been made.
