CUTLER C0MPfNY OPERATIVES
SEEK ADVANCE OF 20 PER CENT.

The strike In the mill Of the Cutler
Manufacturing company at Warren is
for an advance OF 20 per cent, and with
this granted by the management the
strikers say the operatives viii be un-
derpaid, compared to the big Rhode
Island and Massachusetts factories in
the same line. "We can keep these
strikers out for 20 years and never feel
it," said Secretary James Cliffe OF the
Rhode Island Mule Spinners Associa-
tlon today.
The mill of the Cutler company is ST.
lent and deserted. In the office busi-
ness goes on, but not as before. for or
ders cannot be filled, contracts cannot
be made until some sort OF a settle
ment of existing difficulties Is arrived
at and when that will be is uncertain.
Frank II. Brown, treasurer and agent
OF the company. said the company had
no facts to make public. The strikers
are equally firm. Secretary Cliffe says
the Cutler company has for years paid
smaller wages than other similar con-
Germs.
The operatives at the wooden and
worsted mills at Peacedale have had
their wages advanced 10 per cent. The
600 operatives are elated. They made no
demand and not until today were they
informed that they would receive the
same pay as given other woolen mill
help In the state.

THIGH BROKEN.
Capt. Harding Met With a Mlshap
During a Blizzard.
PrseIpItated From Upper 10 Main Deck BY
Washing AwaI Of Ladder.

Coal barge Belle ofsOregon came In
to port yesterday righi out of the teeth
OF the bi.zzard which Mas prevailed for
a week past along the. north Atlantic
coast. Capt. II. r. Harding was down
in his berth with a broken thigh. The
barge rolled almost topky-turvy of
Block Island, east OF Montauk, and
high seas swept the vessel from stem
10 stern.
III was necessary TO keep a close
watch on the barge's course. and the
captain was on the upper deck during
the better part OF the evening. Ii was
about O'Clock Tuesday morning that
he decided to go below, and he went TO
the stairway leading from the upper
deck TO the main deck and stepped
down, as he supposed, upon the first
step of the stairs. The sea had been
so rough, however and the deck of the
vessel had been so overwashed nu-
merous times by heavy seas during the
evening, that this staircase had been
broken away from its fastenings and
washed overheard.
Capt. Harding is SO years old, big and
rugged, and weighs about 225 pounds.
As he made the step to the staircase he
lost his equilibrium AMI fell TO the
main deck, about five feet. Just as he
fell another heavy sea came aboard
and numbered as he was with his heavy
clothing. ii aided to throw him from
his feet. He landed heavily on his
thigh, and when the limb snapped he
narrowly escaped being washed into
the sea. The barge was badly battered.

New York. Jan. 4.-There is a hero
Inc up In Mount Vernon. and scores of
people last night called her blessed, for
to her they undoubtedly owed their
lives. She is Miss Mabel Fields.
eighteen years old. a daughter OF Tax
Commissioner August c. Fields, who
lives i'm Westchester. and she gave the
alarm which caused two trains on the
Harlem River branch OF the n. Y. y.

burning bridge.
AT about o'clock last night Miss
Fields was on her way from her home
TO the Episcopal church She discovered
the wooden railroad bridge which
spans the East Chester road at West
Chester borough Of the Bronx, burning
fiercely. The flames were rapidly eating
away the pine tlmbors. Miss Fields
knew that in a short time the o'clock

be due. This train Is usually crowded
with commuters returning to their sub

adjustment takes time and can only be
done when the faults are developed by

This could not be done on Sunday
and Monday, and hence the more or

enced by passengers and railroad men,
On those two DAYS Il was impossible To-
oil the joints. for the oil froze. and even
kerosene oil did not answer the pur-
pose. There is one fact that has been
established beyond dispute and that is
that the new system Of interlocking
switches has made collisions between
trains impossible in the station. The
towerman can delay Grains. but he
cannot by any possibility bring them
together for when one combination OF
tracks is set another cannot be set TO
send a train on that track until the
first combination Is broken.
Electrical connection is 10 be made
at once between the tower at the Canal
street end OF the station and the one

environments, to this election
can be pointed with truth, that
there is a possibility for merit to
be recognized, and many d voter
throughout South Carolina was
influenced in the casting of his
vote by the fact that Governor
McSweeney merited an endorse
ment by the people.
True, the paramount issue was
the matter Of liquor control, but
other questions became dragged
in until at the close of the cam
paign there were all sorts OF
matters offered for the consider
alton of voters. The Prohibl-
tionists did not conine them
selves to prohibition, but they
endeavored to win votes for their
candidate on his record as a
member of the church, as a Con-
federate veteran, and as an all
round man with no blemish on
private character. The oppo-
nents Of prohibition relied upon
a majority of the voters being in
favor Of the dispensary system,
their candidates clean charac-
ter, his record as a citizen, legis-
lator and Governor. The issues
We're joined and the people have
decided: it now becomes al OF Us
to acquiesce and put aside our
disappointments. in November
we will be called upon to con-
firm our nominations and every
man should go to the polls and
help to make the vote as large
as possible. The Republicans
of the North have an eye on the
small vote cast in this State in
general elections, and they are
threatening to cut off our repre-
sentation in Congress. 1t is our
duty to save our representation
and to do so we must all vote in
the general election.

The outlook for a good price
for cotton does not diminish, and
all signs point to an increased
price for the deecy article, but
in the light of past experience we
would not advise our farmer
friends to hold, signs often fail,
especially when they are con-
trolled by spectators. We
would advise the selling of cot
ton as early as it can be gotten
into a marketable condition, for
the price is good now, and if the
Spectators should take the no
ton they can pull the bottom out
and away down will come the
price, and those holding will sui
fer. If a farmer owes money it
is to his best interest for him to
rid himself of the debt, then
after he is square with the world,
and he wants to crafty his spec
ulative propensities he may hold
the balance of his crop. First
rid yourself of debt, lift the
mortgage from your home and
stock, put in your fauily's win
ter supplies. and if there is any
thing left hold your crop, is the
advice we offer our friends.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-09-12

No man who is in debt for sup
plies has moral right to specu-
late, by holding his crop which
is obligated to the man who fur
nished the supplies, because
that man has made obligations
upon the basis of the supplies
furnished, and if you withhold
from him you cripple his future
usefulness to you. Pay your
debts now while the price will
let you.

The national campaign is now
going on in real earnest. Will
liam Jennings Bryan is touring
the country and electrifying
large audiences with his wonder
full arguments. Teddy Roosevelt
the Republican Vice Presidential
candidate is also doing the tour
ing act, but being hampered with
orders from Mark Hanna he can
not give vent to his eloquence as
he would like, and is therefore
less effective.
