MAY SUE FOR DIVORCE.
Mrs. Frances HOdgson Burnett Has
Separated from Her Husband.

WASHINGTON. Jan. u.-According to
the friends of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, who Is now Mrs. Stephen Townsend,
she is about to seek divorce from her hus-
band. The proceedings, according to the
Washington Post, have either been begun
or will be begun Immediately. Mrs. Bur
nett's first husband was DR.. Swan Burnett,
who now lives in this city. She secured a
divorce from him some fourteen or fifteen
years ago. In the summer Of $780, while
travelling abroad with her son Lionel, who
was the original Little Lord Fauntleroy"
she met Stephen Townsend, who at that
time was struggling actor. They became
very good friends, and Townsend was OF
great assistance and comfort during the
Illness of her son. Mrs. Burnett and Mr.
Townsend shortly afterward went TO Lon
don, where the latter's dramatic abilities
were exploited for a short time in a theater
for which Mrs. Burnett furnished the finan-
cial backing. The venture is said to have
cost her 1000. and then she returned to
America, only to be followed by Mr.. Town
send For number Of years their friend

came engaged to him. Her american

on March 10 Of the following year was mar
ricd. Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend went to Eng
land Immediately afterward and lived at
Maytham Hall, Kent
Within two months, according to the
Post, the husbands actions became so OBJ
nOXious that Mrs. Burnetts friends advised
her 10 get q divorce at once. Her sister,
Mrs. Jordan, went to visit her last June,
accompanied by Mrs BUrnett's son Vivian.
Observing the turn which events had taken
in England. they pursuaded Mrs. Town
send 10 return 10 America with them.
Friends Of the family, the Post asserts,
say that the husbands conduct was gross
~ abusive and excited the greatest indigna-
ton.
On returning TO America Mrs. Townsend
took apartments in Fifth avenue, New
York, and her son returned TO Washing
ton. Her house in this city is now for
sale, and it is said she Will not again
return 10 the capital to live. Mr.. Town

Winston-Salem, n. c., Oct. O.
During the next few days there will
oe meeting of few business men
in Greensboro, and this meeting may
have an important influence on cot
ton manufacturing in this and other
Southern States. Mr.. III. E. Fries,
who has been at work on the plan
for some time, gave out the follow
ing statement this afternoons:
ga great deal has been said about
mergers and trusts and their injur-
ious effects on the general welfare.
These gentlemen and companies they
represent do not expect to control
cotton manufacturing nor oppress
labor, nor enhance values beyond a
reasonable profit. They do expect to
eliminate ruinous competition, to
furnish employment to large num-
Der of our population at fair and just

wages, and to furnish to the public
the very best quality of goods trade
may demand. They are working
along conservative lines and the con-
summation of their plans will prove
a blessing and not curse to the COM
munity in which they dwell and
labor.
"The company that will be formed
to acquire certain properties, will be
know as the Southern Textile Com
pany.' According to the plan under
which they will be operated, there
appears the following clause: No
plant or business shall be purchased, |,
however, in the organization of the
new company except with written
unanimous approval as to desirable
ity of purchase and as to propriety OF
price of the following named per-
sons: Geo. A. Gray, S. B. Tanner,
Jno. w. Fries, G. G. Latta and A.

The writer regrets to learn that
Mr.. Gray is not able to serve. The
vacancy has been filled by Mr.. T.
w. Pratt, of Huntsville, Ala.
'"The options to be presented to
the committee will mbrace seventy
mills, located in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, and Tennessee. From
these mills the committee will select
the more desirable and same will be
paid for in cash securities of the new
company. The option provides that
the company can issue $7,O00,OO0 in
common stock, $7,OO0,O0O in pre-
ferred stock and $4,000, 900 in bonds.
