THE KING MILL STRIKERS.
Must Return TO Work at Once Or
Give Up Their Houses.

There will be the first serious devel-
opment in the reopening of the hing
mill Monday afternoon, says an Au-
custa dispatch, when the operatives
who have not returned to work Will be
requested to vacate King mill houses
that they may be filled by operatives
from other places who are willing to
60 to work. A legal paper will be
served on all the occupants OF these
houses who are not at at work Monday
morning to vacate by Monday night
or 90 to work. President Thomas said
on Saturday that he wanted to give
the striking operatives every show in
the world and was doing all he could
to get them to go back to work. he
says he is thoroughly satisfied with
the manner in which the mills are
running, that a number of hands re-
turned to work that morning who
were not at work on Friday, and be
had been notified that those who
went to the country at the time the
strike went into effect to live on farms
would return to the city Monday
morning, to 60 to work. Besides
these, he says he has number of
engagements with operatives who
will be ready to go to work at that
time.
The position of the mill officials
is not to put the matter OF vacatlng
the houses in the manner of a threat,
but to 90 slowly and give the idle
operatives all the time to decide. Mr..
Thomas says he thinks as soon as they
realize the mill will continue to run,
whether they stay out or not, they will
change their minds and go to work.
He says he is not fighting a thing IN
the world but the demand for 10 per
cent. increase.

Pee Dee Oil Mill Blown Down.
Negro Child Killed. Crops

Special to Daily Item.

Special TO DdlIy 1Gou.
Darlington, May 26.-This place has
been again visited by destructive
storm of cyclonic nature, and consld-
cradle damage; was done to property
and one life lost.
Yesterday afternoon, after several
houIs of very sultry and oppressive
atmospheric conditions dark clouds
gathered suddenly and swept over the
town, accompanied by a violent and
terrifying electric display and heavy
downpour of rain and hail.
The wind for a few minutes was
intensely violent, and in the path of
the storm, which passed over the sub
urbs of the city, buildings, fences and
trees were swept away.
The Pee Dee Oil Mills suffered the
greatest damage. The seed houses,
warehouse and mill building were
blown down and almost completely
demolished. The engine and boiler
room, however, escaped with little
damage.
Several negro houses we're blown
down, and one negro, a child, about
twelve years old, was struck by a
heavy timber and Instantly killed.
Several other negroes were slightly in
Th Pee Dee Oil Mill, which is own
ed by the Virginia-Carolina Co., will
be rebuilt Immediately and will be
ready for business when the cotton
season opens.
The hail and heavy rainfall did
much damage to growing crops, espe-
cially tobacco, in the immediate Vi
cinity of the town, and the damage
probably extended to other parts of
the county, but as to the extent OF the
damage no reports have been received.

THE PHILIPPINES WON'T pay.
The Islands will be of Benefit TO
Capitalists Only.

A temperate and skilfully prepared
speech was delivered in the United
States Senate Friday on the Philip
pines bill By Mr.. Dubois, Of Idaho.
He confined himself almost entirely
to discussion Of the commercial and
industrial aspects of tthe Philippine
question, his purpose being to show
that it would be disadvantage to the
people of this country to retain the
islands. This Governments activity
in the Philippines also would serve to
arouse China from her lethargy, and,
once aroused, the dragon would de-
vour the trade of the world. Nj.
Dubois reviewed at length the agri-
cultural resources of Japan and Chi
ma. with a view to showing that, with
their advantages of cheap labor, they
would be able to control the markets
of the Orient, including the Philip
pines.
vantage in holding the Philippines
would accrue to the people of the Uni
ted States, except possibly to theFcapl-
talist, who would go into the islands
and obtain under concessions great
tracts of land, which they would de-
vote to the cultivation of sugar, to-
bacco and cotton, to which the land
was peculiarly we'll adapted. These
products eventually would come into
competition with the same products IN
this country, the result being detrl--
mental to both American capital and
labor.
Mr.. Dubois expressed the fear that,
with the cheap labor available in the
Philippines, our retention of the ISL
and would result seriously to Ameri-
can labor as we'll as to the American
manufacturers. Manufactures ulti-
mately would spring up in the Islands
and their products would come into
competition directly with the products
of this country in the markets OF the
world.
An earnest and forcilbe reply to Mr..
Dubois was made by Mr.. Beveridge, Of
Indiana, who contended that the devel-
opment of China's resources would be
Of advantage in trade and commerce
to the United States, as the industrial
development of other nations had
been. The argument of Mr.. Dubois,
he insisted, was refuted by all the facts
as it had been demonstrated that our
exports had increased most rapidly to
those countries in which internal
development was increasing, as there
by the people of those counties were
the better able to purchase from the
United States. This certainly would
be as true of China as it had been
of other nations. As the country was
developed the wants Of the people
would increase and so would our op-
portunity to supply these wants:
Japan had bad recently a wonderful
development and along with that devel-
opment or exports had increased from
about So, 600, 600 year, to more than
s29, 600, 900 a year. This would be
true of China. The exports TO China
from outside countries amounted to
about $3.50, OOO,0 a year and he be
lieved that it would be possible easily
for the United States to secure one
half of that trade. The Philippines.
be maintained, were a door to the
Chinese trade.
