would be unwise to put itself In

to depress the price of cotton.

President Gordon of the Geor-

response to a call for a speech

Tired of Censure of Brown and

What is Called Cot

Charlotte, Dec. SIN response
to a call by a committee repre-
senting the North Carolina Man
ufacturers' association, over 100
cotton manufacturers, represent
ing 244,392 spindles and S,O65
looms located throughout the
southern sta tes, met here today
and inaugurated a plan for the
ecurtailment of the production of
cotton goods by the mills of the
entire country. A committee of
Is was named to meet a similar
committee from other sections
and agree to decrease production
throughout the United States.
Even before the meeting was
convened it was evident that the
one purpose of the session would
be to Curtail production or to
make an effort in that direction
by a joint resolution.
Alfred A. Thompson Of the Raj
'eigh cotton mills made a motion
that the necessity for the nation.
al curtailment be considered the
sense of the meeting.
Mr.. Thompson suggested that a
meeting should be held in Wash
ington, at which representatives
of manufacturers from all parts
of the world might dIscuss this
great question on common
ground. He took occasion to
predict a large cotton crop for
next year. Mr.. Thompson's mo-
tion was referred to a committee
of three which, after a half hours
deilberatiOu. made the following
report which was adopted with
but one dissenting vote:
Resolved, That with the view
Of securing national curtailment,
which we think absolutely neces,

recommend that a committee of

Fatal Shooting.

Monday night about 1880 o'clock
Tom jenkins and Lum Hays, both
colored, had an alteration in the
rear yard Of the Samuelson g. Swartz
saloon over a "can" of beer. 1t ap-
pears that jenkins and Hays have
quarreled before and that Jenkins
walked up to Hays and deliberately
kicked the bucket of beer
from bis hand. Hays then
struck Jenkins but they were
separated before fight could
follow. Hays then walked through
the saloon and Jenkins was taken to
the alley. Shortly after, while Hays
was standing in front of Mat Boud
ridges barber shop, Jenkins came
up with drawn pistol and fired at
him, missing, the bullet going in
through the extreme edge of the plate
glass window. Hays then ran across
the street and into George Sedg-
wick IS store with Jenkins pursuing.
1t was here that the fatal shot was
fired, which went directly into Hays
heart. This did not take effect immedi-
ately for Hays grappled with Jenkins
attempting to take the revolver from
him. The pair got into the street
during the struggle and Jenkins fell
with Hays on top of him. During
this time jenkins was endeavoring to
shoot Hays again. Deputy Kiukead
came up at this juncture and arrested
jenkins. Hays died few minutes
later. Hays had no weapon except
an unopened pocket knife in his hand.
jenkins is now 10 jail awaiting trial.
His case will not be brought up until
next term. Jim Beverly, also colored,
was arrested on suspicion Of having
some completely in the affair, but will
probably be released soon.

Mr. A. V. Robinson informs US that
the opening of the mill is assured.
A stock company with capital Of
$50, 900 has been formed and applica-
tion for charter of incorporation was
made this week. 1t will take
probably sixty days to install the
machinery, The mill will have
capacity Of 200 barrels of -four and
100 barrels of meal per day, The
storage capacity of the mill is over
go, 900 bushels. This property was
entirely too valuable to longer remain
idle. The reopeuing Of the mill will
prove an important addition to the
business interests Of Lexington.
Thus we recover an important in
dustry lost to US for several years.
We also recover an excellent citizen
whom the people of this city will be
glad to welcome back.

LIVING.

Everything In the line of living
continues high. The market is poorly
supplied with fresh meats. Beeves
are not to be had at any price; pork
scarce and also mutton. A butcher
remarked to US a few days ago that
as soon as he made his appearance in
the country as a purchaser Of stock,
holders raised their prices at once
upon everything they had for sale
Choice cuts of beef are worth &c;
common sc; pork and mutton about
the same, with a better supply of the
latter. Young chickens, just large
enough to walk without aid, sell at
from $l.5O to 81 IS per dozen. Butter
is down; good sweet table from 10 to
124 cents. Eggs 1Oc per dozen, at
which producers seem to have fixed
their pegs permanently. Bacon,
alone, is cheap, aud that too cheap,
hams s to sc; sides 8, and shoulders 6
to 7, all at retail.
