A STRIKE AT COLUMBIA.
Strike Ordered In Four of the Cotton
Mills.

Columbia, S. c., August 2S.-Textile
Union no. 211 at its meeting tonight
declared a strike in the Olympia,
CRANKY, Richland and Capital City
mills until the authorities rescind their
action forcing operatives to abjure the
union. The unions strength will be
tested tomorrow when h mills open
for work. The striking operatives de-
idle indefinitely, but will not accept
the proposition that has been offered
until they ave made their fight against
the mills
will have the sympathy OF the Fedora
ton Of Labor in the strike now on.
Conservative estimates place the
number Of strikers at 900 or LOCO. 1t il
expected that this number will be con-
siderably augmented during the next
week.
The mill officials today began the
swearing out Of warrants 20 eject the
striking tenants from the dwelling
houses which are owned by the mills
and leased 70 the operatives for two
weeks at a time.
President Smith Whaley in a card to
The State tomorrow will deny his re-
ported statement that "the mill men IN
South Carolina nave entered into an
ironclad agreement not TO employ union
labor
So far the operatives have been
quiet and orderly and no violence is
feared for the present.

This is a day of history-making in

the times are producing events OF
startling moments, but that materials
for history are being gathered and
preserved as never before, and mate

is a powerful factor in this renaissance,
and as often as the country newspa-

to its community and to the state
Gastonia Gazette.
Our Raleigh correspondent notes that
the report of the state agricultural
department just issued, credits Neck
lenburg county with 10 cotton mills. As
a matter of fact there are II cotton
mills in Charlotte alone, n the list
was published in the Observer a few
days ago. Then there are two mills at

Huntersville, giving Mecklenburg coun-

The Alabama Convention

ntgomer Ala, angus ZS.-Ine
constitutional convention resumed to-
day to pass upon the report of the COM
mittee On orders, harmony and consis-
tency of the whole. The convention
remained in session only fifteen min
utes, as the committees report had
not been completed by the printer.
In the afternoon session the i've
ito by a close vote refused to bind it
self to a proposition not to receive
amendments. This probably means
hal the convention will be in session
many days. The new instrument is to
be written on parchment by an expert
after which it will be signed by each
delegate. To set at ease those dele
gates who will oppose h ratification
of the new constitution, the convention
today adopted a form of attestation.
The signatures will be merely an at
test and not a sign of approval.
