The week opened with a strong tendency in the

has been a gradual upward movement. The
quality has been less desirable and the natural
course in values has been TO widen the range.

there has been a very strong feeling. especially
for all choice stock. and the few lots of that
kind offered brought more satisfactory prices
than for some time past. The demand. as usual
has been principally from shippers. but at times
local butchers were good buyers. There is no

SEWERS.
COUNCIL DECIDES TO GO AHEAD WITH sYs-
TEN IN PAW PAW.

The common council held an all days
session Tuesday to listen to protests and
suggestions concerning the proposed
sewer system in this village. Only few
taxpayers appeared 10 person to protest,
although a written remonstrance was
filed, sign by between 90 and 60 citizens.
The council held a special meeting
Wednesday evening, all members being
present except Trustee Turrell. A reso-
luton to go ahead with the sewer was
carried, all members present voting in
favor of the proposition except Trustee
Mcneil, who refused to vote when a full
board was not present.
Now that we are to have sewers. bet
ter water supply will be a necessity. On
motion of Trustee Ocobock, the clerk
was instructed to correspond with iron
companies and ascertain the cost per
foot of a steel tube 20 to "a feet in di-
ameter. The idea is to construct an open
we'll or reservoir at the water plant, hav-
ing the;sdriven wells empty into it..
Cement sidewalks were ordered in front
of Mrs. Hendricks property on Paw Paw

Longwell block to Oak street, and on

Men Fatally Wounded Are
Very Prominent.
(By the Associated Press.)

Albany N. Y, May 16.-Three men fa-
broken heads and cut faces, cars running
merely as arsenals with no patrons, the
city under martial rule with it's citizens
in frenzy of excitement, and the city
authorities and leaders of the strikers
tryin to ct the railway company to come
to an amicable settlement was the sit
uation when darkness put an end to the
strife rowin out of the street car strike
tonight.
Those fatally wounded are William
Walsh, a merchant, and Leroy Smith, a
merchant, both shot by National Guards
men, and William Marshall, a non
union motorman, skull fractured. Others
most seriously injured are:
GEORGE BOOZE, citizen, cheek ripped
open by bayonet.
WILLIAM ROONEY, citizen, shot by
National Guard.
GILBERT HALL, non-union motorman
shot by mob.
The bloodshed came after a day of
peace. From early morning the crowds
had melted away before bayonets and
shotguns, cars had been operated under
heavy guards and there was an impress
sion that the spirit of turbulence was
waning. There had been some minor
demonstrations, particularly in North AL
bany, but not shot had been fired, and
as the day passed the running of cars
attracted but little attention. The vol
ley fired on Broadway by a squad of the

citizens fell fortally wounded, changed
all that 1t stirred anew the feelin of
hatred as the exciting tidings swept
through the CITY, and the guardsmen were
bitterly denounced. Neither of the men
had been guilty of any offence, but were
caught in crowd, some member of
which had stoned the guardsmen and by
a mischance were hit The disturbance
was not a serious one and murder" is
the title applied by intlamed public senti-
ment to the shooting.
The guardsmen seem but to have fol-
lowed their duty as soldiers for they
were under orders to shoot if assaulted,
The bright prospect of a settlement of the
strike has not served to allay the growth
of vndictive feeling. and if the present
situation continues acts of bitter revenge
and violence may be expected.
1t was on the last run of the soldiers

occurred The cars were on Broadway

THE COTTON SEED OIL MILLS

Buffalo, n. Y, May 16.-The Southern
States are taking great interest in the
American Exposition, and many
Southern people are already installed IL
positions here. Among these is Lieu
tenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, oe
Alabama, in charge of the exhibit of
the Navy Department in the Govern
ment building. He won his spurs
when he sunk the Merrimac in Santiago
harbor. His mother was the daughter
of Chief Justice Pearson, of North
Carolina Chief Justice Richmond
Pearsons father was Richmond Pear
son, of Revolutionary fame. In quaint
cident is related by one of the forgot
ten chroniclers of incidents of the Rev
olutionary War. 1t is as follows:
"A British captain was drilling d
company of colonists, when tall and
stalwart man, from what is now Surry
county, North Carolina, was rudely
reprimanded for some slight breach of
discipline. Mr.. Pearson did not like
the tone in which he was addressed. 1t
was about the time many of the colon
lists were beginning to think of sepa-
rating themselves from Great Britain.
and Mr.. Pearson was one of the earlier
patriots who had made UP his mind at
the first opportunity to throw off the
yoke of George the Third. Instead of
obeying the superior officer he steppe
out of the ranks, made an appeal to the
other men of the company, dared the cap

will eliminate friction among the mills, :"
secure uniformity of prices, govern
the output" and minimize the cost of
production"
In the face of such glowing phrases
who would not hold up his hands and
deliver?
But the very fact that the sale of the
half interest carries with it no guar
antee that the mills will even be kept
open day. but the express under
standing that they. or any one of them,
are subject to be closed at any time that
it may be deemed "for the best interest
of all concerned" shows how absolute
is the sale.
The fact that this deal is being man
aged by Mr. Harvey. who managed the
formation of the American Cotton OH
Company and the Southern Cotton Oil
Company leads many to believe that
these two branches of the trust are nov
to be brought together with all the in
dependent mills that can be secured in

While the Independent mills In North
Carolina are about to be sold, others
are being built. Four new ones will

blocked the way of a car, and, urged on
by the crowd, the driver refused to move
on as speedily as desired Someone in
the crowd threw a stone, but it went
wide of its mark. The crowd was very
noisy and there was much confusion.
The car finally moved forward into the
next block and another stone was hurled
at it. There was a sharp command, and
as the car slowed down four shots were
fired from it. Leroy Smith lounged on
the steps of his store; William Walsh,
his business neighbor from across
the street. was his immediate companion
and small crowd hung about near them.
1t was into this crowd that the guards
men fired at range of less than twenty
feet Smith and Walsh were both shot
in the abdomen, and fell where they
stood third man, William Rooney,
was slightly hurt by a glancing bullet.
Some of the guards STEPPED from the car
and reloaded their pieces The startled
crowd fell back at the first shot and a
moment later the guards sprang aboard
the car and were rapidly wheeled from
the scene. Smith and Walsh were hur-
red away to hospitals for surgical care
and an angry mob swarmed into the street
to curse and denounce the guardsmen.
