Greensboro's Silk Factory.
Atlanta Constitution. |

Atlanta COnStltuLlOn.
1t is announced in North Carolina
papers that one of the largest silk
manufactures in America is to be
moved from Patterson, N j., to

1t means the employment of 1900 op
eratives and nearly 81, 900 900 year
product is sold chiefly in the north
and the middle west; so the money
which the industry makes will prac>

TURKEY SAYS NO, SIR.
REJECTS PROPOSITIONS OF
THE AMBASSADORS
Thought That Mere Diplomatic Nego-
tiations Will Not be Effective
Russia Threatens Force If Thes-
sally is Not Evacuated.

By Cable to the Sentinel.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, July 10. 1.-The
Turkish government has submitted
an answer to the Ambassadors, by
TuIfik Pasha, and promptly rejected
not only the proposed change in the
frontier but liked the amount Of in
demnity at four and half million
pounds Turkish, and renewed the de.
mand for abolition Of the capitula-
tion guaranteed to the Greek subjects
in the Ottoman empire. This is re-
garded as clear proof that the Am
basSadors of the powers will be unable
to effect anything by mere diplomatic
negotiations.
BERLIN, July ia ccording to dis
patches received here Emperor Nicho-
las of Russia has telegraphed the Sui
tan demanding immediate evacua-
tion of Thessaly and threatening 9TH
erwise that Russian troops will cross

ADANGEROUS BEDFELLOW.
A Salem Man Has Two Bad Dreams
Choked His Son.

Salem has a citizen who might be
termed dangerous bedfellow. Some
time ago he dreamed that he was en-
gagged in big fight. He drew back
and struck his wife terrible blow on
the head. The husband was awaken
ed but he pledged his word and honor
to his wife that he thought he was in
battle royal-but did not mean to
strike her.
Not long since this same citizen had
another dream. He thought he was
standing near the Winston postoffice
when some one threw a rock and
struck MIN on the knee. He caught
the chap and was choking him-but
when the man awoke he found his
hands around his boys throat and the
little fellow was gasping for breath.
