The MIL Lockout.

referring to the lockout in the cottor
mill section in that county, says The
outlook is gloomy and foreboding
Six thousand men are out. The
lockout went into effect Tuesday
Almost the entire population of tie
mill section of the valley is depend
ent upon the cotton mill companies
for its support; and the action Of the
mill presidents has caused dismay
among all classes in the Horse Greek
valley. Influences are being brought
to bear upon the stockholders and
presidents of the combination of mill
companies to end the lockout and
resume operations. In the event
that no attention is paid to the peti-
tion of the operatives, it is possible
that the union of the laborers may
proceed against the mill owners for
conspiracy under the antitrust Law.

The Tomato.

The tomato began to be used eau
tiously as food 1885 to 1910 in this
country. Up to 1850 only few
families in the up country raised
them. The small variety was the
only one known in those days Now
there are about as many varieties as
there are eDterprising seedsmen who
have the ability to get up a name.
But the tomato is not appreciated as
it should be. The season here lasts
from July to November They may

Wrong View Of Ills Position.

Greenville Mountaineer.
The Lexington Dispatch has mis-
taken view of our position with ref
erence to being a candidate for Gov
ernor, and as thelc may be others
who take a similar view, it may be
we'll to correct the erroneous impress
sion. The Dispatch says:
"Colonel James A. Hoyt has an
nounced through his paper, the
Green7ille Mountaineer, that he
would not be candidate for Gov
ernor in the coming State primary.
Colonel Hoyt is the leader of the
Prohibition clement in this State and
is otherwise a strong man politically,
and consequently this public an
nouncement of mis- not to enter the
race for Governor this year is of
more than ordinary interest and sig
nifcance in that it indicates that the
dispensary will not be an issue in the
coming campaign, and it also shows
change in the opinion Of those who
have heretofore bitterly opposed the
dispensary law from principle and
other considerations. Now, if these
people will lend their assistance in
perfecting the law with the same
measure of zeal and activity with
which they fought it, many of the
evils now existing can be reduced to
a minimum if not totally eradicated.
The experiment is we'll worth the
trying
It would hardly seem to be neces-
sary to explain that the announce
ment made about our supposed can
didacy was strictly personal affair,

pifcance only. Our contemporary
at aches entirely too much import
ance to what we said, especially in
assuming that we are speaking for
others, which we have no right to do.
The announcement was made without
consulting any one, and must stand
for, what it is worth. It does not in
dicate anything else than that sin
ole individual has exercised his right
to be free and untrammeled citizen,
and does not bind any one else IN re
gard to making the dispensary an
issue in the coming campaign. More
over, there is not the shadow OF a
change in our relation to the ''great
moral institution" which we hold to
be fraught with evil from every stand
point, rank with the elements of cor
ruptior, and demoralizing to the ut
most degree in the debauchery of
public sentiment upon the liquor
question.
"A word or so by way Of explana-
tion and we are done. Not by word
thought, either expressed or implied
did we assume that Colonel Hoyt
was speaking for others than himself
in reference to his declination to be-
come candidate for Governor. We
distinctly stated that Colonel James
A. Hoyt," "has announced" that she"
"would not be candidate" &c. Our
conclusions were based on the fact
that Colonel Hoyt is unquestionably
the most popular, as we'll as the
strongest member of the Prohibition
element in the State today, and it
was but natural to reason that if the
dispensary was to be an issue in the
coming campaign, Col. Hoyt would
be the logical standard bearer of the
opponents of the dispensary, and be
having publicly announced his unal-
terable determination TO lay down
the Prohibition banner, in so far as
carrying it into politics is concerned,
it was a logical conclusion to as
sumo that the dispensary would not
be an issue, for when the leader of
the opposition refused to bear the
standard longer, there was no posi-
bic chance for a weaker and a less
popular candidate to carry it to sue
cess. This is all there is in the in
cident. About the "moral institution"
being "fraught with evil from every
standpoint, rank with the elements
of corruption, and demoralizing to
the utmost degree in the deauchery
of public sentiment upon the liquor
question:" be it understood that Col.
Hoyt has impressed the fact upon
the reader that he is speaking only for
bimself, and his individual opinion Of
the moral institution" must, there
fore, ''stand for what it is worth."-

Fire Burns Over Large Area.

Fire burned over about $50 acres Of wood
land and sage brush fields Saturday in
the vicinity Of Centerville, Prince Georges
county, Nd. The blaze was first noticed
shortly after o'clock in the morning
along the edge of the lands Of James and
Albert Ball. From there it spread with
great rapidity through the sage grass fields
to other points. Fearing that their prop
erty would be destroyed by the flames,
the residents Of the locality organized a
fre-fighting brigade and proceeded to check
the fire as best they could. Before this
was done, however the flames had burned
through the woods and the sage fields Of
the places owned by Sarah Osborne, VIM.
Clagett, Enos Humphrey and the lands be-
longing to the Messrs. Ball.
Mr.. Ohio Humphrey, one of the men en-
gagged in the work OF extinguishing the
fire, was in Anacostia today and said that
about fifty men, women and children as
sisted in fighting the fire. The women
brought dish pans and other household re-
ceptacles and filled them with water for
the men to USE on the flames. The water
was mostly secured from neighboring
pond. The fence adjoining the store Of
Enos Humphrey caught fire, but the blaze
was quickly extinguished.
Mr.. Humphrey stated that the fire was
finally extinguished about nishtfall. Much
valuable timber had been destroyed in the
flames. he said. It has not been decided
positively in the minds Of the people Of
the section as to how the fire originated.
The blaze was witnessed from Anacostia
about dusk. Last night another big blaze.
