WILLIAMS DECLINE TO TALK.
A Seaboard Director Says the Situation For
Consolidation is Brighter.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Dec. THE Commercial
Advertiser says:
president John Shelton Williams de-
clines to make any statement relative
to the conference at the Waldorf Asto-
ria yesterday which was attended by him
self, Director Davidson and Middendorf
and others. The report that progress was
made in an adjustment of the suits in
stituted against the reorganized Seaboard
Air Line by Thomas F. Ryan could not be
corroborated. Robert c.. Davidson, who
is president of the Baltimore Trust and
Guarantee Company, as well as a direc-
tor of the Seaboard, made this state
ment:
g The board has important matters UNI
der consideration, the details of which
it would be improper for me to divulge

CHILDREN IN THE FACTORY.

In the Baptist State convention yes
terday. Mr.. n. B. Broughton, one of
the leading men of the denomination,
made the statement that ''the over
work of the people in the cotton fac
tories was gripping and thwarting
the mission work OF the convention"
Speaking of the work Of children in
the mills he said:
These people must be protected,
and these infants must be saved
from such wrecking and the bodies
and souls of these over-worked women
and men saved by Christian effort"
In connection with the declaration,
which met with apparent universal
approval, we desire to call attention
to the fact sent out by the Associat-
ed Press yesterday that ''the mill
owners of Georgia have formed an as
ISOLATION ''to stop the practice of
working children under ten years in
the cotton mills of the State
1t is gratifying TO see that mill own
CTS, chuIcn leeouelS, SuucbloIS anu Iho
press are agreed that child labor shall
end in the factories. There may be
here and there disagreement as to the
manner of putting a stop to it, but
an effective method will be found to
do it. The demand of lazy fathers,
who put their babies in the mills to
support them in idleness, in favor of
employing young children in the mills,
will not be needed The children must
be saved from the dwarfing process of
early confinement in the factories! 1t
will not do to wait another year for
this reform that is demanded in the
name of humanity.

THE FALL or BRooKLYN BRIDGE.

The Brooklyn Bridge is being weakened
by electrolysis. Its four great cables are
live wires through which wildcat currents
are constantly flowing. These are escaping
to the ground through the anchorages
which they are eating away at an estima-
ted rate of nine tons a year. The con-
clusion is that the electrolytic effect
must be overcome at once or the bridge
may some day fall into the river, or ii
may have to be closed. Health is often
undermined in like manner-by the neg
lect of trivial matters. Constipation. in
digestion. dyspepsia, biliousness or ner-
vousness should be checked at once Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will do it. Nc
other medicine is as good for all disor-
ders of the stomach. Don't fail to give
it q trial.

STORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George d. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such slave
was made free. He says: My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backaehe, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only SOC. Sold by all
druggists.

Mr.. Hay did very well in China. Let
him stick to his wise policy there.
He does well except where England
lis concerned, and then he falls down.
The Nicaragua canal when built
SHOULD be wholly under the control
of the United States alike in peace
and war; to quote Roosevelt. That's
the true American policy and yet the
Hay plan is to give England "a fin
ger in the pie. No such treaty ought
TO be ratified.

GOING OUT OF THE STATE.

The Salisbury Truth-Index notes
that a carload of factory employees
passed through that town going to
Georgia and Alabama to work in the
cotton factories of those States.
Another paper says that several hum
bred have gone. They were employees
who worked in mills in Alamance
county until the trouble of a few
months ago. After strike precipitat-
ed by members of the Textile Union,
the owners of the mills announced
that hereafter no person could work
in their mills who belonged to the
union. As great result some mem
bers of the union quit that labor or
ganization and retained their position
in the cotton mills. Others refused to
withdraw from the union, and now
have gone into other States. Their
departure is to be regretted. They are
North Carolinians by birth. They love
their State and the State needed
them. They have gone because they
preferred regretfully to go into anoth-
er State than to surrender their right
to join any organization they desired
to join.
We had hoped that North Carolina
would escape the labor troubles that
have been witnessed in other manufac
turing sections. The departure of g
large number of mill operatives from
the State is serious matter Can we
afford to have them leave us and &c
to Alabama and Georgia? This is a
question that primarily appeals to the
mill owners, but it has deep interest
also for the whole State. If we lose
our labor, or any considerable portion
of it, we shall ultimately lose much
that we have gained in manufactures
