Trains Arranged For.

having charge Of arrangements for the

day in getting the railroad authorities
to agree to run special trains to York

that notices Of church services, etc.,
are announced in THE ENQUIRER free

any notice in connection with church
matters except in the case of enter
tainments etc., to raise money. Then
we require that the printer be paid the
same as other people. Death notices
Of the prescribed form are published
gratuitously, as are also marriage noti-
ces. Ministers and others interested
will confer q favor upon us when
they send in information about such
matters promptly.
\HSebably Paying.
Mention has been made from time to
time about the operations Of q gold
mining company that is' engaged In
working the sands of Catawba river
between CASTOR and Mecklenburg
counties The reporter saw gentle
man from the neighborhood a few
days ago; but could get little infor-
nation. The work Is being pushed
with great energy, and outsiders be-
lieve that 1t is peing pushed with con-
siderable profit; but the officers OF the
company nave not a great deal to say.
Just now the company Is engaged In
cutting q passage for its boats through
some shoals.
Demand For Labor.
There is a marked difference be-:
tween cotton mill labor conditions as
they existed last winter and as they
exist now. In the winter and spring
there was a strong demand all over
the Piedmont section for skilled cot
ton mill operatives. The operatives
had it their own way and In many in
stances were able to make such terms
as they chose with the mill manage
ments. But now with the closing down
Of a number of large mills and others
running on half time, hundreds Of op-
eratives are hunting work, on almost
any terms that the mill owners are
able to offer. There have been re-
ports to the effect that an unusually
large number of people who are dis
satisfied with the outcome Of the
years work on the farms. are look
ing to the mills for softer places.
Present conditions, however, are not
very prepitious for such changes.
