X efOrms bv Virginia Legislature

Richmond, Va, February 5.-The
house delegates took up today the
first practical steps in the matter of
retrenchment and reform. The
Feathrestone bill was ordered to it's
engrossment. The bill abolishes the
office of register of land Office, and
cuts down the salaries of several of
the state officers. It's passage will save
the state some $4,000 annually. The
debate on the bill evidenced that the
legislature was at last in for retrench-
ment in earnest, and opens the way
for the heavier cuts recommended in
the report of the committee on ex-
penditures of public Institutions
At the request of Mr.. Saunders, his
bill in relation to the fencing of rail-
roads, which came back on Friday
from the senate with slight amend
ments, was taken up out of it's order
and passed in order that it might go to
the governor.

Captain Carter's Court Martial

Savannah, February 5.-The defense
in the trial by court martial of Cap
tain o. w. Carter, United States army
had an opportunity to get in some doc
umentary evidence in favor of the ac-
cused and promptly accepted it. To-
day it was shown by the documentary
evidence found in Captain Carter's
office that Lieutenant Colonel A. A.
Gilmore in 1892 and 1893 advertised for
periods Of only fifteen or twenty days.
This seems to knock It the point by
the prosecution that Captain Carter
advertised less than Lnirty days for
the purpose of aiding in shutting out
other contractors than the Atlantic
Contracting Company. 1t was also
shown that former officers had sent
out only one copy Of specifications to
contractors, which was the rule fol-
lowed by Captain Carter. The court
adjourned until Tuesday at II o'clock.

NO SAN JOSE SCALE
Rumor as to Its Being Found at Green's
boro Untrue-Fire Insurance Companies
to Rerate the Cities of the Scale-Cotts n
Factory for Kinston

Especial to The Messenger)
Raleigh, n. c., February 5.-Profes-
sor Massey says the statement that
the San Jose scale has been found at
Greensboro is untrue. 1t is another
insect.
1t is learned that fire insurance
companies are preparing to rerate
r leigh. The president of company
so writes and adds that they are also
preparing to rerate all places in North
Carolina. This is construed to mean
lower rates.

Advantages of Southern Mills

Boston, February Jefferson Col
lidge, treasurer of Amoskeag mills,
of Manchester, has returned from
trip to Florida. He says of the gen.
eral mill situation: con the main
tenance of reduction in wages depends
the existence of New England mills,
and striking against a reduction is a
mistake on the part of the operatives
who are attempting to kill the
goose that lays the golden egg. If the
mill hands desire to be out of employ
ment they are taking the right course
in striking. Nearly all southern mills
are prosperous. The biggest mills are
earning large dividends, but are rarely
paying per cent as they are reserving
their excess profits to increase their
quick capital. The southern mills get
some advantage from cheaper coal
and cheaper cotton, but the wage ques-
tiOn is the greatest factor in their
favor. If it were not for low wages
paid in the south our mills could COM
pete with them without trouble.
Southern mills, having been later, are
superior to the average northern mill.
The best southern operatives turn out
just as much work as the northern
operatives and are just as intelligent.

Another Cut in Wages

Tauton, Mass, February 5.-The
employees of Whittenton mills Lave
been notified of Z per cent reduction
in wages to take effect Monday More
than 500 hands are employed, and the
concern is the largest manufactory of
cotton cloth in the city. Keen competi-
tion and the condition of the market
are given as the causes of reduction.
There will be no strike and the
cut will be accepted. Congressman
William c. Lowering is president of
this corporation.
