STRIKERS
Accuse Imported
Employees
OF Maliciously Tamper-
ing With Lines.
Claim They Want Char
ges Against Strikers
By Which They Can Avert a
Settlement.

Striking Electrical Workers deny
that any of their members have been
guilty of the depredations reported by
the managers of the telephone COM
panies.
They claim that If the work has been
done 1t Is chargeable to the new en-
ployes of the companies. ''The new
men," said n striker, 'would be very
apt to do what has been charged to
us, with view to getting us into bad
repute with the managers. If they can
short-circuit lines occasionally, or
break phone instrument, and have
the acts charged to us, they believe that
their own jobs will be made more Sc
cure by widening the gap between us
and the managers.
Il honestly believe that none of our
men has tampered with the lines; as
l said before, If any depredations have
been committed, they are chargeable
to the companies new employees"

Chas. R Flint Talks About

Along the line of a greater consoli-
dation Of interests for the rubber bus

Without qualification that the b. f..
Goodrich Co. has given an option 10
the Rubber Goods Manufacturing Co.
1t seems probable that the Bicycling
World, in making this announcement,
had got hold of but portion
of the information with ref
erence to consolidation all along tile
line. The latter story was given on
good authority and the only point in
it which might seem improbable was
with reference to the Consolidated
Tire Co. and the Rubber Goods Manu-
featuring Co. pooling their interests,
Some time this fall, probably, the
! suit of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co. VS.. The Consolidated Tire Co. will
be tried. The Goodyear Co. won a de-
cided victory in Circuit Court lately
when its attachment on tires worth
$4,000 was held good. The case must
now be tried on its merits. The for
,mer hearings have been on the at
tempts. of the Consolidated to dissolve
the attachment.

ROWAN SOLVES THE PROBLEM.
Builds County Home For the Insane That
Can't Get Into the Asylum.

The crowded condition of the insane
asylums in North Carolina is most UNI
fortunate. Even under the most faYora-
BILE conditions it is tragic thing for
human being to be bereft of reason, but
when such a one must, for their own safe
ty and that of others. be confined in
the common Jail with criminals it be-
comes doubly pitiful. Such a condition, II
allowed to continue. will be a deep dis
grace to the State.
In the present emergency, Rowan coun-
ty has set an example that is worthy of
imitation by all counties having in their
jails insane people for whom admission
to the insane asylums cannot be secured.
The Rowan commissioners have erected
a building with four large airy rooms for
the reception and accommodation of in
sane persons who otherwise would have to
be confined in jail. Experience has shown
that the confinement of insane people in
Jail has bad effect on both the insane
persons and the sane prisoners.

INSANE CONFINED
IN COUNTY JA|LS
A PilifuI Case Now in Jail at

All Efforts to Open the Asylum Doors
TO Her Have Failed.
TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO TAKE AC ION
Such Conditions Should no Longer Exist in q
Civilized State. There Must be Asylum
Accomm .dations For All Ct The
Insane of North Carolina.

To the Editor: My attention was called
to the lack of accommodations and room
at the State Hospital for Insane, and to
the confinement in the county jails
of the poor unfortunates who have lost
their reason, by letter from Mr.. Stevens.
printed in last Sundays edition of your
valuable paper Mr.. Stevens in his state
ment speaks of the deplorable condition
existing in Johnston county. But COM
pairing my statement with his, | think
that Buncombe county, and probably many
other counties in this State, have great
er grievance. There are confined in Bun
combe jail four persons committed on in
sanity warrants, two white women, che
white man, and one colored woman. One
poor white woman of the better order of
inhabitants, who has been tho mother OF
eleven children, and from all accounts
through the disregard of husband and
children who ought to have he.t her at
home as her strength would not permit
her to harm any one, was brought here
two weeks ago. She talks perfectly ra-
tiona, but is run down in health, and
has developed melancholy, constantly
moaning and crying for her children, in
the convulsive outbursts of a mothers
sorrow.
/ am confined in the next call charged
with attempting to kill one James A.
Ioyner, whom believed to have debauch
ed my young wife, and ruined my future
happiness.
Readers of the Asheyille papers of June
4th ana 9Th may recall my case, which |
only cite that you may know that l see
life in jail as it is, and not from hearsay,
as | am ever present each moment of the
long dreary nights and days, ana know
whereof | speak. l am a stranger here,
friends many hundred miles distant,
hence my failure to secure my release on
bond.
Since this poor womans incarceration
she has gradually declined, and at this
writing the jailer says he thinks she is
dying. She has taken no nourshment
for several days, for she cannot il sine
would, as she has nothing but the coarse
Jail food and her weak stomach could
not retain it. The jailer has made every
effort TO have her removed to some hos
pital, but his efforts are in vain, and |
fear that her unhappy existence will end
in a prison cell. | might prolong this
letter, with many narrowing tales of the
three others mentioned, but / hope it will
not be necessary, and that the people
of the State will bestir themselves, and
conditions of this kind will cease to exist.
