FORTY MILLS ARE IN
Fries Cotton Mill Merger
Committee Still at Work.
The Forty Mills Operate Four Hundred 1hous,
and spindIes and one Hundred More
Have Applied,

The Fries Cotton Mill Merger Commit
tee was busy all day yesterday.
Sessions were held morning, noon and
night, and it was near midnight before
an adjournment was taken.
Last night the committee gave out the
first statement showing how far it had
advanced in it's arduous work Of placing
a valuation on the mills and deciding
which were to be accepted in the merger.
Out of one hundred and forty being
considered, exactly forty was the num-
Der that had passed scrutiny and were
considered as being acceptable. These
forty mills, it is stated, have in operation
four hundred thousand sDindles.
The committee Will meet again on
Monday. This was the decision at the
meeting last night, which was held at
the home of Mr.. G.. G.. Latta. Some OF
the members left last night for their
homes, but will return for the meeting on
Monday.
The committee decline to give out as
yet the names of the forty mills already
accepted, but will only furnish the names
when the list is finally completed.

WILL COMPRESS HERE
Seaboard Cotton Compress in
Raleigh to be Used.
c. (. johnson and Co. Will CONTINUE 10 Operate
the Plant Since That in Hamlet Has
Been Destroyed by Fire.

The Seaboard Air Line cotton COM
press in Hamlet having been destroyed
by fire it was either necessary to re
build at once, or go to a new point.
In Raleigh the Seaboard has a cotton
compress equipped to do a large amount
of work, and ready for immediate use.
This being the situation the conclu-
sion was reached, so We We're informed
last night, that the plant in Raleigh
would be used in Raleigh and not moved
to Hamlet, as had been stated.
The cotton compress at Hamlet was
being operated by Charles f. Johnson &
Co., of Raleigh, and this firm will con-
tinue in control of the work when it be-
gins in Raleigh.
The compress here is said to be SO
equipped that it Will compress a bale in
a minute and a half. forty bales to the
hour.
The re-opening Of the plant here means
that employment will be given to some
forty or fifty people, who will either be
brought from Hamlet, or people who are
now here will be given employment, and
it will in this one way, as well as in
others, add to the prosperity of the city.

AN ABSURD ATTACK.
Attempt to Make Capital OF
Mcknight Decision.
II was the Unanimous Opinion Of the Cour'.
Judge CIark's Record on the Bench in
Medical Cases.

Il am greatly surprised" said a prom
inent lawyer yesterday who was not an
original Clark man, Ito see an attempt
made to inject the Mcknight decision into
the anti-Clark campaign. The opinion Of
the court was written by Justice Clark,
but it is the unanimous decision Of the
court. Besides, the opinion on It's face
shows that the Supreme court followed
similar decisions in other courts. Right
or wrong, it is not the North Caroliua
spirit to wage a political campaign
against one judge for an honest opinion
Of the unanimous court simply because
that Justice wrote the decision. II the
decision is wrong, the Legislature can
pass an act that will prescribe medical
practice plainly and then the supreme
court will follow the legislative act. But
to raise a clamOr against Justice Clark
is as absurd as it is impotent. If the
doctors think it is wrong-and mind you
/ do not express any opinion upon that
point,-they should prepare an act that
will. stop such men as Mcknight prac-
Using and appeal to the Legislature to
make the necessary enactmentS.'
The cause of the above remark was
the following special in yesterdays Char
lotte Obs river:
southern Pines. Oct. 22.-There is uni
versal cond amnation expressed here for
Judge Walter Clark for that peculiar
decision of his in regard to the practice
Of osteopathy IN this State, and which
appeared in The Raleigh Post this morn
ing. Many wonder if Judge Clark ex-
poets to get the vote of the medical fra
ternity for reelection to his present
| tigh position. SO far as Mcknight is
concerned in this case, the best thing
that can be said of him is that he must
| rave hypnotized the judge, or else he
has outwitted him"
'"rhe suggestion he continued, "of
the medical profession getting together
| and voting against Justice Clark because
he agreed with the four other members
| Of the court is an insult to the pro-
fession's intelligence. 1t is along the
| line of class voting which has been ad-
vised SO much of late. If Judge Clark,
| who often dissents, has made a mistake
nobody who wishes to preserve the in
| tegrity of our judiciary will advocate
| furnishing an honest mistake by urging
the doctors to organize against him IN
politics.
1.-The Injustice of this political attack
| will be seen further when 1t IS recalled
| that at the time the question arose on
| the constitutionality of the act requiring
| an examination and license to practice
| medicine. Judge Clark wrote the opinion
| Of the court sustaining the constitution
| ality of the act, Estate VS.. Call, 121 n. C.)
| as he also did the opinion sustaining the
constitutionality of the act requiring vac
! cination.'

CONvICTs NOT YET CAPTURED.
The Four Negroes Who Made a Daring Escape
Are Still at Large.

The four negro convicts who, two days
ago, escaped from the county convict
road force, after disarming the guard,
Mr.. Hubert Davis, are still at large,
1t was not until yesterday that the
names of the prisoners who escaped were
known here. These are Lonnie Davis,
Monroe Rowland, Charles Alexander and
Joe Grift1S, all negroes.
The leader in the bold escape was
Lonnie Davis, sentenced recently for one
year for an assault on another negro
with a deadly weapon He is the negro
who was also accused of a capital assault
on a woman, but who escaped on this
charge because of the negro woman's
character. He seized the guard from be-
hind while Monroe Rowland, who's term
is six months for larceny, got the gun
out of the guards hands. He threaten
ed, with uplifted shovel, to brain the
guard if he did not give up the gun,
striking at him once, but the blow was
lodged.
Charles Alexander, with a sentence of
eight month for larceny, and Joe Crit
lis, with one year against him on a SINH
lar charge, are the other two negroes
who have escaped. AS yet there is no
clue to the hiding place of the men.

Hanged and Filled
With Lead.
With Lead.
CBy the Associated Press.)

T~allapoosa, Ca, Oct. Beer Brown, a
negro charged with having attempted to
criminally assault Mrs. Henry Dees. a
white woman, at her home, three miles
ing, was taken from the county Jail here
tonight at 7 o'clock by a mob of 900 men
and lynched.
The mob carried the negro to the
scene of his crime and hanged him to the
lower trestle work of a bridge over a
creek.
Troops had been ordered from Atlanta,
but did not arrive until an hour and a
half after the negro had been hanged.
Brown was captured a few hours after
his attempted crime by County Tax Col
lector Bentley and brought to this town
and placed in Jail.
AS soon as the news of the capture
was learned, a mob was hastily formed
and marched to the Jail and demanded
the negro.
Mayor Hutchinson wired Governor
Gambler for troops, and in the mean
while endeavored to persuade the mob
to allow the law to take it's course.
Upon learning that troops had been dis
patched the mob stormed the iail. and
after securing the negro, carried him to
a spot near Mrs. Dees' home, hanged him
to a bridge and filed his body with bull
lets.
When the troops arrived they found
the body Of the dead negro hanging over
the stream.
The town is quiet tonight.

MRS. J. ROWAN ROGERS SUDDEN DEATI
Called to Rest at an Early Hour Yesterday
The Funeral at ten This Morning.

The MANY friends of Mrs. j. Rowan
Rogers were shocked yesterday by the
news Of her sudden death. She appeared
in her usual health on Tuesday, was out
walking in the afternoon. and at night
came from her residence with her daugh-
ter.
Mrs Rogers was in the fOrty-third
wear of her age, her maiden name having
been Miss Annie s. Hodge, the only
daughter of Mr.. Madison c. Hodge and
Edna Agnes Ivey, his wife. On U
18th, 1878, she became the wife of Mr..
] Rowan Rogers, passing to that nome
eternal in the heavens" October I'D,
1902. at 3:45 a. m. She leaves a husband
brothers and six children, four daughters
and two sons.
After years of physical suffering,
borne with the bravest of spirits, Gods
finger touched her and she slept. Hers
was a life OF unselfish devotion 10 those
she loved, and being an active and
energetic member of st. k Circle
of Kings Daughters" her help was
ever ready for both the needy and dis
tressed.
Her hands, sick or we'll, they were
ready at every request to help us-sweet
hands, they deserve a sweet rest.
The funeral services will be held at
Christ church this morning at 10 O'Clock
and the interment will be at the old
Rogers plantation, opposite New hope
church, on the LOuiShurg road.
Help us to stem the tide of sorrow;
Held US to bear the Christening rod;
Give us endurance; let us borrow
Strength from Thy promise, Q my

Newspaper men like Mitchell because
he is not afraid of them. He deals with
them frankly and without suspicion, and
they always like that.
Some Of the men who break into public
life seem to regard all newspaper men
as scavengers equipped with X-ray eyes
which would lay bear the Utmost secrets
of their souls. Instead OF meeting then
frankly and stating, if it is true. tha,
there is nothing they can say, these men
clothe themselves in mystery and run
Secretary Root is one of these. It may
be that his defense, as attorney, of the
Tweed ring gang is responsible for his
desire to escape the questioning of the
representatives of the press, or some
other similar experience may have made
him look upon the questioners as GRIMM
ais; whatever the cause. there can be
no question about the effect. President
Roosevelt, who has had long experience
with the newspaper men Of the capital
talks freely with the correspondents, re-
lying upon their ability to discriminate
as to what should be published ana
what should not. and knowing that 10
confidence will be betrayed; no man could
be more frank and open in his
cation with representatives of the press
than was President Mckinley; the r.a1
secrets Of State are locked up in tue
