CALL AN OUTRAGE.
The Turning Out of the Representa-
+jves.-Reid and Ransom at Home.

From all over the county there
come expressions of indignation at
the action of the House Of Repre-
sentatives in turning out MessrS.
Reid and Ransom and seating the
contestants, Clanton and VILLAIN
son.
It is now acknowledged by some
of the friends Of the contestants
that they really had no case, and II
the evidence had been fairly and
impartialIy reviewed, never would
have been seated.
The Republicans in the Leglsla-
ture simply needed two more votes
and took this method of getting
them. That seems to be the gener-
al opinion. Nothing more was ex-
pected of such a Legislature.
Messrs. Reid and Ransom have ar
rived from Raleigh. Mr.. Reid is at
his bomein Matthews. Mr.. Ransom
spent Friday night in Charlotte, and
went Saturday morning to his nome
in Huutersville.
THE TIMES has had many callers
from nearly every township in the
county, and they are unanimous IL
denouncing the act of the Leglsla'
ture as an outrage.

cotton mills of this place have ad-
vanced wages two per cent. This IS
commendable if the report proves

vention, less than five per cent. of the
goods manufactured from that staple
are sold by us. While Great Britain
does not produce an ounce Of the raw
material she exports II per cent. of the
finished product, and we import three
times as much cotton goods as we ex-
port. There is something radically
wrong in such a condition. With our
raw material right at home, and
American skill and Ingenuity in abund-
ance we should be able to drive Great
Britain out Of the cotton trade, espe-
cially when VIC consider that the Ameri-
can manufacturers could put the goods
on the market at the English price less
the cost of taking the raw material to
England to be manufactured into mar
ketable commodities.
