BUDDHIsTS PROTEST.
Against British Dissertation OF
Ancient Shrines.

Los Angeles, Sept. &c. -Anagarika H.
Dharmapla, Buddhist representative
in America has just arrived in Los
Angeles from Ceylon, en- route to Lon
don. He has addressed the following
communication to the American peo-
pie:
IT want to call your attention to a
subject which, to a great degree, is
bound to affect the greater portion of
the entire population of the civilized
world. / have been officially informed
of the outrageous action of the British
officials in the distant island of Cey-
ia threatening to desecrate the an
cient shrines in the sacred city of
Anuradhapura, which is to the Budd-
hist's as great as Mecca is to the
Mohammedans or Jerusalem to the
Christians.
This historic city, which for 1900
years on account of it's hallowed asso-
Citations has received the homage of
500, 900, 900 of Buddhists of China. Ia
pan, Siam, Gambodia. Burmah, India,
Tibet, etc, is now threatened with the
destruction of the shrines at the hands
of the despotic British officials, who, in
their madness will bring about catas-
trophe which will result in a religious
convulsion throughout the entire Budd-
hist world all over Asia. have ad-
dressed a communication on the sub
iect to Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the
Secretary of State for the colonies, and

people for their moral support for the
suppression of this atrocious act of
vandalic diabolism."

RUMOR REVIVED.
That Atlantic Coast Line Shops May
Re Moved From Brunswick.

That Atlantic Coast Line Shops May
Re Moved From Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga. Sept. 26.-The old ru-
NOR of the removal of the Atlantic
Coast Line shops from this city was
current on the streets again to-day,
and was freely talked of in railroad
circles generally. Your representative
started out for the purpose of looking
up the rumor, with a view of ascer-
tanning whether or not anything in a
specific nature had developed.
1t was found that Assistant General
Manager Smith and superintendent Of
Motive Power Young. of the Atlantic
Coast Line, reached the city to-day and
spent the largest portion of the day at
the shops. These officials made num-
erous inquiries of those in charge of
the several departments of the shops,
but were as mum as clans as to the
object of their visit at this time.
Master Mechanic S. M. Roberts, who
is the highest official of that depart
ment in Brunswick, was seen, and
when questioned on the subject he said
so far as he personally knew, nothing
had transpired to give credence or
cause for the rumor. He explained
that neither Messrs. Smith or Young
had officially advised him of the in
tention of the company, and pointed
out that in the event an immediate re-
moval was contemplated that he would
have been advised on the subject.
Of course, it was perfectly natural
for this talk to be INDUCED in upon the
arrival of these officials, and there may
or may not be any cause for appre-

BIG MILL MERGER.

O"pltaI OF $25,00O,O0O
Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-The Record
VIII say tomorrow:
Inc project to consolidate 60 per
cent OF the spinning and weaving
mills in the South under the control of
holding corporation has finally ma
terlallzed, and it was announced yes
terday by one of the managers of the
enterprise that the Fries plan had
been adopted by enough of the South
ern mills to guarantee the success of
the proposition. The cash capital in
VOWED in the enterprise now amounts
10 $2o,OOO.Oo0. This will be increased as
last as additional mills come into the
combination.
Nearly all the largest and most i'm
portant of the modern spinning and
weaving mills in the South are in
tefeSted in the project and those that
nave not already signed options will
90 so as soon as the stockholders of
the several companies can be brought
logelher to ratify agreements already
maze by the accredited representatives.
Fhlladelphians directly concerned in
~-NN AANNA ~ lSCB yesterday confirmed Tile
Wen authenticated reports received
from the South as to the adoption of
the Fries plan, but they declined to
give out a list of the mills actually
acquired. They stated that the control
OF the proposed holdings corporations
would be vested in representative mill
men of the South. The executive off,
GERS of the holding company will also
be Southern mill men.
The directory of the new company
will include several Philadelphia men
who are prominently identified with
the cotton trade, as well as a number
of cotton men actively engaged in the
trade in New York, Boston and the
New England market. The financial
institutions directly concerned in the
enterprise will also have representa-
tives on the board of directors The
mill owners themselves, however, will
control the holding corporation under
the operation of the Fries plan, which
gives them a majority voice in the
directory as we'll as all the bonds and
preferred stock issued by the holding
corporation.
All the men directly in charge of the
mills will be representative mill peo-
pie of the South.

TO INVESTIGATE COTTON.
Department of Agriculture Has
Number of Special Agents South

Washington, Sept. ga number of
special agents of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have left
Washington for the South, and others
will follow tomorrow for the purpose
of investigating certain features of the
cotton movement. Statistician Hyde's
estimate of the amount of cotton actu-
ally grown during the year 1901-1902,
and the report of the census office as
to the amount ginned during the year
both differ considerably from the
amount marketed, according to COM
mercial reports. The department be-
lieves the difference is made up largely
of cotton carried over from preceding
years and of linters and repacks. No
expense will be spared, it is said, in
an investigation as to what the COM
mercial crop really amounted to and
what it consisted of, and a full state
ment of the result will be made public
by the statistician.

LOCAL MATTERS.
An Enjoyable Social.

By invitation of MIR. and Mrs. William
Jackson, the members of the Epworth
League, with a few other Invited guests,
assembled at their home on South street
Thursday of last week, and spent very
pleasant evening. The event was en-
tirely informal, the guests all enjoying
themselves as best suited their individual
tastes, the clever and obligng host and
hostess giving all concessions to make
their friends happy. Several students
IN the "ping pong" class made amuse-
ment for large audience by shifting
the ball"-off the table, of course. The
following ladies and gentlemen enlivened
the evening by musical renditions:
Piano solo, Miss Alice Guernsey; reci-
tation, DR.. S. S. Eddy; vocal solo, Miss
Alice ID. Richmond; vocal solo, DR..
Eddy. Mine host Jackson filled out the
evening by recital of his woes in
"cookin rice" during hunting and
fishing expedition, which placed the
entire party in the very best humor, for
the homeward parting.
About seventy persons attended, and
the event was made an occasion for the
new cOmers in town to become better
acquainted, through the courtesies of an
efficient committee.
