EIGHTEEN QUIT WORK.
A Little Excitement Was oocasioned
 at Bluff City Mills Thursday.

There was a little excitement at the Bluff City Lumber Company s plant in the western part of the city Thursday afternoon.
 The unusual stir was caused by IS of the employees of the sash and door department dropping their tools and walking out. They stopped work and called for their pay.
 The trouble, as related to us by one of the men who quit, is as fol- lows: It seems that Mr, Cramer had eensured one of the boys for cutting out an uneven sash and said if they could Lot do any better he would put negro employees in the place. He carried out his threat Thursday by bringing a negro in that department aud putting him to work. As soon as be dld so the eighteen men dropped their tools and called for their pay.

The prisoner claims that it was suicide, but this no one can believe for moment, Every thing points 10 murder, cold blood ed and cowardly, and the husband either did the deed with his own hands or stood by while one who disgraces the name of her sex ended the career of this young wife and mother.

 The people of Hot Springs have been decelved so often in the matter of railroads that not until Col. For dYee became interested ir the pro- ject to build road into thls city did they give any credence whatever to reports of new lines to be con stiucted.
 Though the amount subscribed ir this city is not large, it would be safe to say that Col. Fordyce is the only man in the State that could have secured 8 like subscription in Hot Springs to build a railroad.
 Now that work on the new line has actually commenced, with every prospect of the completion of the road before spring, there is reason for jubilance among the people of this city, and that real estate values will gradually increase until they get back to old figures, and even be- yond, there seems to be no doubt.
