We are glad that the Cotton Growers
\uJu. IN. ~ IL Rtl-
ter chairman. Io has done us much
or more for the farming interests of
Ncwbcrry than any one man, as far as
our knowledge goes. All people inter-
csted in cotton growing should lend u
hand, and by all means keep politics
and politicians out.
For the past two weeks there has
boon considerable sparring going on in
our town unknown to Il great many.

thing to give them al excuse to rcpu-
date the contract, and failing in this,
they boldly launched out 10 "do' the
cotton mill people, but were brought
up short with an attachment served by
Sheriff Buford. The company now has
to face suit for damages for $4,000.
In the mean time all their tools, en-
gino and drilling outfit is under levy,
taken out by the Cotton Mill Company.
Messrs. Stiles and Mcmillan, employ
ees of the company have gone. Mr..
Mcmillan to his home in Philadelphia,
und Mr.. Stiles-none know where.

ringing?" On Tuesday night, Decem-

arabic bonds that bind them for life.
