had Little Effect.
(By the Associated Press

Charleston, S. c.. August 29.-President
w. b. Smith-Whaley, of the large cotton
mills in Columbia, tonight handed the
News and Courier the following state
ment for himself and his board of direc-
tors, requesting that it be sent to all

Columbia. S. c., August 29.--The press
dispatch fro~ 'ty of yesterday anent
the strike declared by Textile Union
No. 211 against the cotton mills of this
city is misleading in every particular, and
wholly untrue in many particulars and is
very injurious to isss-. interest of this
community. The Richland, CRANKY, Olym-
pia and Capita City cotton mills of this
city, are all running today the latter to
its full capacity and the three former to
at least three-fourths of their caracity.
THE so-called strike ordered by the
Textile Union against the above men
tened mills could operate against no one
in the mills for all of the union men who
had declined to conform to the rules of
the mills were discharged on Monday last.
The mills arc not seeking their return
aud on the contrary, have given notice
to the leading agitators among the union
men to vacate the buildings occupied by
them
The places made vacant either by the
action of the mill authorities or by those
whc may have voluntarily left the mills
are being rapidly filled by others. The
mill authorities have no compromise to
make with the representatives of the
Textile Union and are determined to take
back none who are in sympathy with
them. The mills have not been inter-
fered with to any serious extent by rea-
son of the action Of the so-called Textile
Union"

a Wild Man who Lives in Box in the Neigh
borhood of Blacksburg

Especial to News and Observer.)
Ruthcrfordton, ~ c., August 29.-Thir-
ty-eight years ago. during the War Be-
tween the States, the kIorthern soldiers,
in a chase after John Starnes frightened
him so badly that he turned over large
box on himself. and lay there hidden until
they had gone. When night came he
removed the box to the woods and since
that time he has made that box his home.
John Starnes is now wild man. His pho
tograph does him justice. 1t was taken
while he was feeling the effects OF corn
whiskey.
John Starnes lives five miles northwest
of Blacksburg. S. c. His box is surrounded
by poles to protect his hiding place. He
will even run from horse, COW or sheep.
The only way by which you can see the
wild man is by slipping upon him when
at his hox house. Then he will stop and
look you straight in the face. If you
will agree with him then he will talk, but
unless you do he will either get his gun
or 60 into his box.
Starnes is now fifty-fve years old. Be-
fore the war he assisted his father in
making hats The hat he now wears was
made before the war by his father
He offers no excuse for his way of liv-
ing. He will accept money from no one.
He will "cuss' if you offer him money.
He is in excellent health. He fishes,
catches and kills rabbits, eats acorns, ETC.
He bakes his bread on fiat rock as
the Mexicans do Mr. A. d. Gold, Of
Blacksburg, S. c., is the only man that
has been able to get photograph of the
wild man. Others dare not go>about him.
No one can understand how he lives as
he does and is so healthy. He gets food
and no one knows where he gsts it. 1t
has been said that Starnes has plenty OF
money.

j. NJ Baker. Fer the pardon every POS
sible appeal was made, while the State
