sentiment st Kali River
Against Wage Reduction.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. S1.-Meet-
lngs of five of the labor organizations
OF the city were held last night. and.
with the exception Of those held nv the
WeaVers, were largely attended. In all
save the mule spinners' associat ton the
sentiment, while marked by a stronger
Strlke feeling than the leaders had been
ied to expect, was in favor Of accepting
the wage reduction for the present,
me splnners were hot for a strike. and.
had vote been taken, would have
voted overwhelmingly to leave their
mules.
The leaders found that it was danger
GUS TO attempt TO urge too strongly the
acceptance of the conference com
mlttee's resolution, and after a heated
discussion, decided upon a postpone
neht or all action until Saturday after
neon.
At the Saturday afternoon meeting
balloting will begin at o'clock. The
roll OF mills will be called alphabettc-
ally, beginning with the American
Linen, and continuing through the rest
OF the list. Voting will be confined to
financial members only and, according
to the bylaws OF the union. it will re-
quire two thirds vote of the mem
bors to order a strike. A meeting of
the association will be held in the even
ing, to hear the result Of the voting.
and as there are some mills in which
notices have not yet been posted, the
question as to whether or not the spin
ners in them are to be called out will
be considered
The size Of the WeaYers' union COM
polled the holding Of meetings in va
rious parts of the city, and the results
were quickly obtained. They voted to
accept the reduction for the present by
a majority Of 1873 out of S99 votes cast.
me leaders were surprised at the
strength of the strike sentiment.
Out of total Of 145 members of the
slashers union over a hundred were
present, and the discussion was heated.
The vote was finally taken and stood
64 to AZ for acceptance of the committee
resolution. The meeting Of the spoilers
and Wrappers was largely attended, and
the feeling among the girls was strong
ly in favor of a strike. The leaders
rged them to wait, and the vote taken
resulted in the acceptance Of the reso-
lution-S8 to 81.
The meeting of the mill firemen was
held at two different times The night
men voted to accept the resolution.
The day men, after considerable dis
cussion, voted, 80 to 80, to strike, but
later reconsidered the vote, and decided
to accept for the present.
The strike feeling in all Of the unions
is much stronger than had been an
ticipated. The loom fixers and ma
chinists will meet tonight, and it Is ex-
pected that the former will vote to
strike. The same result is almost a
foregone conclusion in the spinners'
union. On the whole the strike out
look is stronger than at any time since
the first announcement of the reduc-
ton, although the strike, If ordered,
may not include all classes of help.

TEMPEST WAS WIENER.
Some Speedy Ice Yacht Racing at
Lake PENN.

There was an interesting ice yachting re-
gatta at Lake Pepin yesterday, six yachts
owned at the lake scudding over the triangu-
lar course in very fast time. The fleet Tenn
pest, owned by Fuller and Rafferty,, of Lake
City, and managed in yesterdays race by
Commodore Fuller, made the course in Is
minutes and 90 seconds, considerably over
sixty miles per hour. The yachts competing
were the Tempest, the Bertram, owned by
John Bertran; Marion, owned by ]. H. Harris;
Alaska, owned by Mr.. Nordeen; T. Elinor.
owned by John Fink, all Of Lake City, and
the Comet. owned by Milt Newcomb. The
race was for the Lake City medal, given By
the citizens as a trophy, which is to be won
three times in succession, to become the prop
erty of the winner. The result was Tempest
first. Comet second. anc Marion third. The
Comet he'd the medal before. Capt L. Y.
Lenhart was starter, and the timers were
Messrs. Seeley and Myers. A large crowd of
enthusiasts witnessed the exciting contest.
The Tempest. which won yesterdays race,
defeated the Reindeer at Minnetonka in 1895
for the Northwestern pennant, also winning
the Hudson CUP.

with Regards to the Others.

The question of choosing a successor to
Senator Davis whose term expires next year,
is beginning to interest the press of the state.
We believe it is a fact that were the selection
left to the rank and file of the party Sena-
tor Davis would have no trouble In succeed
ing himself. He is considered one of the
ablest men in the senate today, and 1t is
not the part Of wisdom to turn out a man
who has pushed his way to the very head OF
less experience. Senator Davis Is consid-
cred one of the best authorities on interna-
tional law to be found in the country, and
our state will do itself honor by returning
him to the senate for another term.-Todd

HE'COY's OFFER.
VIII Allow CkOyns!si Four Pounds
to Secure d .lnsch

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-McCoy's
original declaration that he would meet
Choynski at 1913 pounds as a stepping
stone to q match with Fitzsimmons,
has brought up a nice point of ring
procedure. Mccoy could have insisted
that ChOynski meet him at 1913 pounds.
At the same time Mccoy was perfectly
well aware that Choynsk could not
reach the middleweight limit. He has
decided to make a concession to Choyn-
ski. Speaking on the subject, Mccoy
said: "In order to get a meeting with
Choynski I will agree to meet him at
the ringside at 1872 pounds, which [ con-
slider a very fair proposition. To be
sure. if he is willing to go at 1913 L
would have no objection. I make this
concession to Choynski solely on the
understanding that if L win Fitzsim-
mons will then meet me at the middle
weight limit Of 15S pounds"

Treasurers, Superintendent and

BOSTON. Mass, Dec. 31.-The action
of the cotton manufacturers of New
Bedford and Rhode Island in deciding
to join the movement to lower the wage
scale in January, which was inaugu-
rated by the big corporations Of Fall
River, makes the reduction practically
a general one throughout the New
England states. Cotton mills in Fall
River. Lowell, Manchester, Salem, Sun
cook, New Hampshire and a number Of
smaller places have already posted
notices of reduction, amounting from
10 to II 10 per cent. In New Bedford
it is understood the cut-down applies
to the cloth mills only. AS far as
known today the reduction IN all the
mill centers applies to treasurers, su-
perintendents, overseers and clerks, as
we'll as to the spinners and other
operators.

CANADIAN COTTON MILLS.
They Have Net Suffered rs Have
Those Of New England.


MONTREAL Dec 31.-While the
cotton mills in the New England states
are in a very bad way, owing to the
keen competition Of the Southern mills,
the Canadian mills are doing and have
done lively trade. The knitting Mills
have turned envious eyes Upon the
cotton mills. and they have attributed
the success Of the latter to the COM
bine existing in the industry. So the
knitting mills people think that they
will try a combination also. Prices
must be put up, and the output reg
ulated. AS the Canadian wool crop
was smaller this year than last, and
as prices have been too low for any
decent business for a long time, the
wool men have taken advantage of the
shorter supplies and the larger demand
to put up prices. This naturally eff
fects the knitting mills. Their raw
material is more expensive now. and
they think the time has come to better
their positions all around.

THE TOBACCO FAIR.
VIII be the Biggest Attraction in
North Carolina This Year.

This years tobacco crop in the
Piedmont section promises to be fine
and the leaf exhibits at the Tobacco
Fair the first week in November will
no doubt be full and of the choicest
selections.
As the Tobacco Journal states, the
planters are required to pay no en-
trance fee, and, besides, are offered
liberal money premiums. Our manu-
facturers, who had such exceedingly
handsome and unique displays of their
goods before, are determined to Guido
their former efforts. Manufacturers
of tobacco from other towns and max
ers and dealers in tobacco machinery
and supplies will likewise be we'll rep
resented, and contest with the home
people for the hOnOrs. Arrangements
are being made for a full assortment
of meritorious auxiliary attractions,
including a Midway, races, gorgeous
street parades, theatrical performances
and the like. Ample accommodations
will be provided for the thousands of
visitors.
This will be unquestionably the
greatest fair of any kind in North
Carolina IN 1898: more, it will surpass
any that will be held anywhere else in
the South. All persons interested in
the tobacco industry throughout the
United States are invited to attend
and will be well repaid for the
journey and the expense incurred.

A Winston lady, who is at Moore 5

lows:
Our quiet life has been broken for
the past few days with charming
music, welded by the carpenters tools,
floating sweetly upward toward the
hotel, from the ripling stream which
divides US from the life-giving water
of natures wells. This music has the
foundation of an artistic bridge, A
feet long and ; feet wide, suspendlng
itself across the stream in all its mag
nfficent glory and atfording senti-
mental lovers a surer foundation of
crossing than the old foot-log which
has been the only means for 10. these
many years, and caused many

The sad expression of some of our
visitors remind us constantly that the
Walnut Cove boys have left us and
the sweet serenades which made the
cats hang their heads in shame are no
more.
There are now twenty-seven visitors
here and several are expected today
