COMPETITION DowNEDl THEM.
New England Mills viii Cease Maxi
ing Coarse Cloth.


A special from Boston, Mass, states
that New England cotton mills are
giving up the fight against competition
in Georgia and the Carolinas and will
soon cease to manufacture coarse
cloths.
Monday the Lawrence Manufactur-
ing Company, of Lowell, one Of the
biggest plants in New England stop
ped making cloth entirely. The de
rectors decided to refund to the stock
holders half of the capital stock, shut
down half of the mill and make moth
ing but hosiery.
This is only the first of a series.
Other New England mills will very
soon have to shut down. Treasurer
Baker, of the Lawrence company, says
that this is a crisis which has been
pending for three years. He says that
the low wages paid for southern mill
labor is the cause of the trouble here.
The cost of labor there is 80 per cent
lower than it is here. Consequently
the southern manufacturers have an
advantage over those of the north Of
from II to 2 cents a pound.
Most of these mills are located in
the Carolinas and Georgia, although
all the southern states are manufacture
ing cotton. Mr.. Baker says that the
Lawrence Manufacturing Company
never expects to return to the manu-
facture of coarse cottons, as there is
such o surplus of labor in the south as
to last for a generation at least, max
ing it impossible for many years to
manufacture here at profit. He says
that the southern mills do not manu-
faoture enough to supply the Ameri-
can trade, but they make enough to
control the price, and that the north
ern mills have to meet it and that
manufacturing in the south is increas-
ing fast enough to discourage it here
for good.

Away.
Ex-Governor Thomas Seay, who
has been i'll at his home in Greensboro,
Ala, for two weeks with la grippe,
died at 1885 O'Clock Monday after
noon.
Few men in Alabama were more
loved than Governor Seay. He was
prominent in public life for over a
quarter of century and was always a
mover in anything looking to the vel.
fare or advancement of his state or
country.
1t was thought on Saturday that the
attack of lagrippe, which has been
severe from the first, would pass off
without fatal result, but at late
hour Sunday he changed for the worse,
and when the end came Monday after
noon he was surrounded by the mem
bers of his family, who had been by
his side for ten hours watching him
as he quietly passed into eternity.

Turned Down for the First Time In
the House This Session.
Speaker Tom Reed was turned down
for the first time in this congress by
the house Friday morning. The speaker
wants an early adjournment. To sue
coed in that the appropriation bills
must be disposed of early. Reed gave
orders that the house should take up
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
His leaders attempted it, but the house
rebelled, and by vote took up the pri-
vate calendar, whereupon Mr.. Reed
evinced much anger, but could
do nothing but swear vengeance
against McKinley's friends, who
he declares inspired the rebellion. This
was the first act of the Mckinley peo-
pie to prevent early adjournment. 1t
means that they will throw every OBJ
stacle in the way Of it and will sue
coed in keeping congress in session
until after the national conventions.

ference report to be taken up and that
went over until Monday. Mr.. Hill,
