curiosity in the way of walking stick.
1t was a perfect reproduction in shape

war with Spain, and these grow in clumps
of four and five twisted together. AS he

Views and Interviews.

Sheriff Mccain, of Stanly county, who
was in Raleigh yesterday, is enthusiast
tic over the prospect that Stanly county
is going to become the best manufactur-
ing county in the State. Speaking of the
big enterprises going on there. he said:
THE Whitney Reduction Company
which bought the water power of the
Narrows and all the land on both sides
of the Yadllin river for about six or
seven miles, has let a contract to build
a railroad from New London, near the
Hall Mill ferry. The railroad will be
about six or seven miles-it may be
more. Work has actively commenced on
the construction, with many men and
more than 200 mules and carts. 1t is TO
be finished within two months.
THE Whitney Reduction Company will
build a dam across the river of solid
granite at the point where the railroad
reaches the river. 1t is to be fifty feet
wide at the base, twelve at the top, and
forty or sixty feet high. This will give
them $4,000 horse power-only 1000
smaller than Niagara. The purpose is to
furnish Charlotte, Concord, Albemarle
and all the adjacent country with power
by electricity.
"Our people think it will do great
things for Stanly county and make it the
foremost manufacturing county in North
Carolina"
Mr.. j. J. Daniel, of Wilson, who was
in the city this week, says that his sec
tiOn of the State is in better shape, and

WAGES GOING DOWN.
A Marked Reduction in England in
the Share of Profits Allowed
to Labor. 49,.
What the Official Organ of the Lon
don Chamber of Commerce
Says of It.

From The Joxrnes s,.reo,s. Boom 10. Pool
Washington, Oct. 20.-A marked reduc-
ton in the wages of labor in England is
reported in the Chamber Of Commerce
Journal, the official organ of the London
Chamber Of Commerce, copy Of which
has just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics
There is a warming, it says. Ito mas
ters and men alike in the official report
on the changes in rates Of wages and
hours of labor during 1901. It foreshad-
ows q relapse from the prosperity of the
last few years, decline in wages having
to be recorded for the first time since 1895
Moreover, during the first half Of the pres
ent year, the tendency is still towards
lower wages. The number Of workpeople
affected by reductions in 1901 was greater
than any year in the period 1S93-19O1, the
computed amount of the reductions being
more than the total reductions recorded in
the previous eight years. 1t is estimated
that the net decrease in the wages bill
last year was about 1854 ZOO pounds ster-
ling, compared with a net increase of
5000, 900 in 1900. The fall in wages was
confined to the mining and quarrying and
the metal engineering and shipbuilding
groups Of industries, there being net in
creases in other groups-buildng, textile,
clothing, etc. One most So satisfactory feat
ure in the report is, however, the fact that
there was a large increase in the percent
age Of workpeople whose wages were set
tied by Cancellation boards, etc., which is
mainly due to the formation or re-estab-
liShment Of such boards in the mining in
dustry. Out Of every 100 persons whose
wages were changed only two were con-
cerned in strikes and lockouts. This is
the lowest recorded percentage. With re-
gard to changes in hours of labor, $50
WOrkpeOple had their hours heightened
and 2S,690 had them shortened, the net
| result being a reduction of 5S,728 hours
per week. The principal changes were in
the printing trade. Included in those af-
fected by changes in hours in this trade
are 1923 compositors, readers, machine
| minders, bookbinders, mechanics, etc, EN-
ployed in the London printing trade. Com
| positors'. hours were reduced under the
award of the arbitrators appointed by the
Board Of Trade from 81 to 521s. The let
| terpress printers bookbinders and ma
hc1ne rulers of Glasgow, to the number OF
5000, also secured reduction from 5211
to So A brief considera ton Of the fore
going will show that altogether the out
| look for labor is less encouraging than for
| some years past and it behooVes both
employers and employed to use common
sense, zeal and intelligence in maintain
! ing and consolidating industry, upon
which the prosperity Of the country de-
pends."

OUT TO MEET THE SHAH
Brilliant Cavalcade Along the Tehe.
ran Road to the
Frontier.

New York, Oct 20.-In description Of
the hurried journey of the shah's court
along the Teheran road to welcome his
majesty at the frontier on his return
from his European tour, the correspond
ent Of the Times at Teheran cables by
way Of London:
It was the strangest of pictures the
eyes of an artist could hope to light upon.
For hours at time streamed past a
ceaseless procession Of camels, mules,
horses and carts laden with parapherna-
La. After the advance guard of Rus
sian drilled cavalry came regiment of
infantry, souching along the road In
every variety of patched and tattered uni
form, once sky blue. Some Of them wore
two shoes Of different pattern, most Of
them none.
Rifles of all descriptions were stuck on
the back Of each mule. Each large band
instrument crowned, in solitary gran
deur the load of a pack camel.
When mishap necesstated repac{ling
a load in the middle of the road one got
a glimpse of costly carpets, of tents with
walls of many colors, of robes Of honor,
silken embroideries, quilted bedding. Here
and there silver ever or piece of gaudy
French furniture, tied on loosely with a
bit of string, kept clanzing at the side OF
a mule.
Officers of the household, with silver
slaves; f1unkeys in scarlet coats, high
state officials in full wa1sted black coats.
mulahs with green and white turbans,
Persian ladies shrouded in ample black
dominoes and with thick white wells,
rode in bewildering confusion along the
roads or sat in groups In the rest houses.
Further on were the two huge. camps
of the imperial harem, suddenly COM
manded by telegram from Europe to meet
the shah at the frontier.
The total cost of this motley pilgrim
age probably was more than 100000.

PARENTS BR OUGHT HIM In
Eugene Roe Who Escaped From jail
-. Is Brought Back by His
Parents. T.,

Eugene Roe, the boy who quietly walked
out of the county Jail several days ago,
is again under Captain Alexander S
charge, and this time is securely locked
into q cell in the insane ward. The
youngster was brought into the municipal
court this morning by his parents. No
new charge was preferred against him,
and he was at once sent upstairs to the
Jail. 49,,
Roe was sentenced to the state train
ing school from the municipal court.
When sent to the jail he was allowed the
run of the corridors and, when a new ele"
vator attendant was on duty, stepped into
the car and was carried down stairs to
the street, undetected. His escape has
made matters much harder for other boys
now in the Jail, for they have all been
locked up to guard against a repetition of
the occurrence. Roe will be taken to the
training school within few days.

Portland. Me, Oct. 2o.-At the w. c.
r. U. convention to-day Mrs. Emelie D.
Martin Of New York city, superintendent
Of the department for the promotion of
purity In literature and art at the national
w c.. T. u, said there was no more hope
ful sign on the horizon Of the organizat ton
than that they have gained the influence
Of public sentiment. The press reflects
public sentiment and during the past year
the journals Of the country have given
larger space to purity and temperance.
Mrs Martin asks for the adoption of a
resolution passed by the New York county
W. c. T.. u, as follows:
Resolved That the innocence of youth the
purity of middle age and the sanctity Of old age

Of the female figure, unclOthed, upon billbonrds

ment by appeals to city state authorities
and by legal means If need be, to have this
menace to public morals and stumbling block
to clean manhood and wOmanhoOd removed This
resolution to be submitted to all the women s
clubs and societies, asking their approval and
Endorsement Of the same and inviting their CO.
operation in the movement
Mrs. Martin also urged the adoption of
Miss Helen Miller Goulds resolution Ito
regulate the Midway dances at ST. Louis
worlds fair" which she said had been
adopted by the women managers, hs fol-
lows:
That 1t Is the earnest desire Of the National
Womans Christian Temperance Union that there
be no indecent dances or improper exhibits in the
Midway district during the worlds fair at st.
Louis, and that the exposition company be urged
to use the utmost care in awarding concessions
for the shows, in order that there be no objec-
tionable features.
She said: eve take courage in the fact
that the controller of the trea sury has de-
cided that the appropriation of IS, 900, OOC
for the exposition would be withheld un-
less the contract to close the gates to Wis

he said 1T is a. matter of eongratula-
ton that in the bringing about Of this
! progress Wisconsin has had large
share, and that her great son, Senator
John G. Spoonet has had so large, part
! In it." He scored the railroad companies
as being the most potent factors in build
| Ing up trusts and combinations, and grew
especially earnest In telling how their lob
bylsts control legislation, and the extent
to which they carried their efforts in the
last Wisconsin legislature.
He pointed out the failure Of the demo-
cratic platform to censure this Legislature
for Its shortcomings. as evidence that the
corporations are now throwing their aid
to the democratic party.
In discussing the primary election ques-
ton, the governor read a letter from w.
H. Hallamt graduate of Wisconsin uni
versity now practiciug law in Minneapo-
Ills, In which he said:
The most conspicuous and telling vic
tory for the primary law scored In the
late primaries In this state Is, it seems
| to me, the undoubted fact that it has
j cleared Out gang Of boodlers who have
| infested the state senate. No one In Min
| nesota Knows the members of the legisla-
ture better than Carl Wallace. who intro
| duced the primary law in the Legislature.
He has checked off for me the names Of
nineteen bad fellows on the last list Of
senators who will not go back next win
ter either because they ran and were
beatep or were afraid to run. In nearly
every case excellent men were nominated
in their places. This is out Of a total
number Of sixty three senators. The con-
dition Is similar in the house. and the I'M
questionable result will be the cleanest
senate and house Minnesota has seen in
twelve years at least, and I don't know
how much longer"
The governor left to-day for Baraboo,
speaking there this morning at La Crosse
this evening. His itinerary for the re-
mainder Of the week is: Tuesday, Chip
pewa Falls and Eau Claire Wednesday,

ness and American tailoring, they, are In
deed striking.
All these excellent features of the Nor
folk, however, can be retained and at the
same time the walking suit given a much
more elaborate appearance. One lovely

is just the thing for walking Is of queen

wear for shopping or even for country use.

this that the women want and are looking
