LOWELL OPERATIVES
LIKELY TO STRIKE
Five of Ten Textile Unions
Vote to Stop Work.
The Remainder to Take Action Today
Owners Say They Cannot Grant
the Increase.

LOWELL, Mass, March 25.-A strike of
the cotton operatives here appears to be
inevitable, and it is expected that if the
unions carry out their threats all the big
mills will shut down Indefinitely, throw
ing 20, COO men and women out of work
The Textile Workers demand an in
crease of 10 per cent in their wages, the
same as was granted in the Fall River
mills recently. The mill agents have re-
fused TO accede to the demand. stating
that the Fall River concerns can better
afford the increase. as their coal comes by
water and is consequently cheaper than
car shipments here.
Five Unions Vote.
Tonight five of the ten unions affiliated
in the textile council held meetings, AMI
two of them, the weavers and beamera,
voted to strike unless their wages were
increased. The carders. nappers. and knit
ters instructed their delegates to declare
themselves at the meeting of the council
tomorrow night.
That this body will not vote to order
a general strike at the meeting seems
hardly probable, as majority of the
delegates are from unions in favor of
quitting work.
Should the strike be ordered the mills
will undoubtedly shut down Saturday
night, and remain SO until the controversy
is settled.

The New Ship Subsidy Bill.

ssThe supporters of the Frye Ship Subsidy
BILL" says the Republican Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger, s'urge as one reason why it should
be passed that it has been stripped of some OF
the provisions which were obnoxious to many
members of the last Congress. This is in
sufficient, however, to give certificate OF
character to the new bill.
ssThe present Frye bill marks the thin edge
to be inserted for the purpose of giving the
money of the Treasury to a special class.
Once the system is inaugurated it is certain
that on one pretext or another constant de
mands will be made upon Congress to give,
give.
'.It will be claimed that by the passage of
new laws in foreign countries the American
subsidy has been countervailed, and that there
is necessity for an increase in bounties, that
certain steamship lines find their volume OF
business too small, and cannot be operated
without additional bounty from the Govern
ment, and that in other lines competition
among American ships has become SO keen
that freight rates have fallen so low that dis.
aster will overcome the shipping industry I'M
less Congress helps to foot the expenses.
| "Anyone inteiiigently conversant with the
operation of the American customs tariffs
since 1888 knows that the recipients of benefits
are always resisting any reduction of duties,
and are, to great extent, favorable to still
higher rates of duty. So it will be with ship
subsidies should Congress initiate such a
policy

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate
FLoREsyILLE, WILSON Co., Jan. 20, 1902.
We have had splendid weather all winter
and work of all kinds is going on very &C
lively. Carpenters and painters are very
busy making substantial improvements. Las
year we got total rainfall of only l63 inches
The cotton crop was about an average; Other
crops we're light. During July and August
we had fully forty days that the temperature
went above 1902 During that hadean heat
four brick business houses were built in this
town, the mechanics working on regular time
with but little discomfort. No one was pros
trated or delayed by heat.
The oil mill here will run few weeks
longer, and consume about 5000 tons of cot
ton seed, making about 100000 gallons Of
oil, the average price per gallon being &c
cents-$3O, 900. See /?
The proprietors are furthermore fattening
1900 head of beeves on cotton seed meal and
hulls, and as fat cattle are selling high, the
owners will realize neat profit on that end
of their business rope. They are running the
entire oil plant with crude Beaumont Texas
oil for fuel much cheaper than formerly,
with wood or coal.
Farmers are rapidly turning the ground fol
this years crop.
Some cotton still struggling into market.
Corn is selling at $1.00 per bushel; higher
than for Is years.
I have nominated Arthur P. German, Of
MARYLAND, for next Democratic President.

Government, but great men often differ in a
friendly spirit, and we are no exception to
the rule. p. B. BARNES.

Smallest Baby Ever Known

DR.. W. F. Gillian, of Greensboro, KY, who
has been practicing medicine for 80 years,
tells story of the birth and growth of a baby
girl which is unparalleled in medical expe-
rience.
The parents of the child are Mr.. and Mrs.
Clint McMurty. On Decembr % DR.. Gillian
was called to attend Mrs. McMurtry for pneu-
monia. She gave premature birth to baby
girl, 10 inches in length. Its head was soft
and no larger than lemon and its thighs were
about the size of a mans finger. DR.. Gillian
had the babe wrapped in cotton and told the
father that it could not live over an hour.
On returning next day, Is hours later, DR..
Gillian was astonished to find the babe alive.
He gave it a little milk, and when it survived
the second day took great interest in the case,
and saw to it that the weakling was given
every attention.
At the end of 16 days the infant was
dressed for the first time. At the end Of
three months it weighed 20 ounces and awoke
for the first time The child is now almost a
year old and weighs IA pounds. 1t is healthy
and thriving.

Vaccination.

An argument often brought forward against
vaccination is, that it does not give absolute
immunity from smallpox. 1t is true that oc-
casionally person may take smallpox after
having had cowpox. just as a second attack of
smallpox itself is sometimes met with; but such
cases are very rare. Many of the supposed
instances are due to improper vaccination in
the first place. Jenner himself pointed out
that the lymph from cowpox pustule may
produce no effect at all, or it may even raise
eruptions resembling those of true cowpox but
that, nevertheless, to the trained eye, are diff
ferent, and which do not give immunity from
smallpox. He insisted that doctors should be
specially trained in this branch of their art,
and that children should be brought back to
them, after the vaccination has taken effect, to
see If they haze, as he termed them, "correct'
pustasles. If not, the vaccination should be
repeated

The question of most importance now be-
fore Congress is tThe Proposed Isthmian

Professor Burr speaks with the highest au

He is vivid writer and his article is entirely
free from technical obscurities. His attitude
toward both routes is judicial, and he balances
the advantages and disadvantages of each with
perfect frankness. Every one who wants te

of his own, even in the magni6cently appointed

seekers squealing for some sort of snap.
There is something soothing and restfnl about
a barnyard. 1t is real pleasure to lean against

has no axes to grind, whose highest ambition
is to borrow chew Of tobacco. take more
pride in my ability to guess the weight of a fat
hog than do in my capacity to hold the helm

That's just it. A man nearly breaks his
neck trying to get loose from his farm, and
after he has accomplished it and gets what
the world call ''way up" heis just as anxious
to get back on the land again. The contented
man on good farm, with little money in
the bank, has this world beaten to finish.
