BUSINESS GROWTH
INSURES THE REBUILDING

Both the Clifton mills and the Pacolet
mills have been receiving large increases
in their orders for the export trade to the
far east. Both mills and several others
in this district shipped directly to Japan
and China.
The wonderful increase In this trade
alone is generally acknowledged to be a
sufficient guarantee in itself for the re-
building OF the mills 1t is known, too,
that extensive preparations were being
made to meet increasing demands with
the lowering of the rates of transporta-
ton with the opening of the Panama
canal.
At the time of the disaster stock in

Spartanburg. s. c., June 7.-(StaR Cor
respondence) 1.-The latest reports place
the estimated loss of life from the recent
food at fifty-fve. Damage to property
will run into the millions of dollars. over
1000 employees in the mills of the Clifton
Manufacturing Company are out of work
and in destitute circumstances
At Pacolet 1000 people are practically
destitute. In the smaller mills of the
county the number thrown out of en-
ployment will exceed that 5000.
Owing to the absolute isolation of Spar
tanburg terrible suffering cannot possibly
be prevented from the MANY thousands
afflicted by the catastrophe. Appeals are
| being sent out for aid. In these appeals
, money is particularly requested, as pro-
Visions cannot reach any of the points,
owing to the fact that railroad bridges
are down in every direction. The latest
reports of damages sustained are given
by those in authority as follows:
President Montgomery, of the
Pacolet mills, places their loss at
100000.
President A. H. Twitchell, of the
Clifton manufacturing Company
mills. places the loss at $1,8OO,OOO.
For the ID. E. Converse Company,
at Glendale, S. c., the estimate is
S5o,oo0
Tucapau mills loss placed at
S25 900.
Lockhart mills loss is $25 900.
Fairmont sustains loss of $4,000.
Whitney loss placed at $4,000.
Lolo loss is about $4,000.
TOTAL MILL LOSS, $3.50, 900.

QUESTION OF RELIEF

This question of meeting demands for
immediate supplies is quite the greatest
that now confronts the relief commit
tee. The members of this committee of
which r. II. F. Chapman is chairman,
are working day and night In the inter-
ests Of the homeless and unemployed.
All checks to Mr.. Chapman and the
exigencies Of this opportunity for real
home mission work cannot be over-esti-
mated Unless all signs prove to the
contrary, there will be real hunger and
grave distress among these unfortunates,
who have been entirely cut off from en-
rployment The representative OF The
Constitution, upon offering to make
request for help through the columns Of
his paper was warmly thanked and as
sured that any response would meet with
thorough Appreciation.
Almost all of the sufferers a the Cliff

western North Carolina, and in great
many instances have large families and

the wages earned by themselves and
their children in the mills.

Roosevelt H. For Union Labor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.--According to written address "To Organized La bor of America" issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, President Roose- welt has made it plain that except in the government service he believes that the employment of full union labor is preferable to nonunion or 'Sopen shops This is the most notable development of the present situation surrounding the attitude of the president toward union labor. It puts the president in the attitude of favoring an .open shop" at the government printing office be- cause the federal law sustains it and not because he believes 1t is preferable to full union labor.

ROBINSON GOT HER TRUNK.
anne to Visit Friends Here and Ship
 ped Trunk One Day Ahead.

The owner of the trunk which was shipped to the wrong address, 31 Wall street, was Miss Mary Ann Johnson of Torrington. Miss Johnson came here yesterday to visit some friends on Dublin street. She shipped the trunk the day before, but thought that she would arrive here in time to notify the express company that she was the owner. But as it was, she didn't, and the result was that the company sent the trunk to the wrong party on Wall street. Matters were righted yester- day.

the matinee offering of John A.

one of the most difficult tasks that
falls to the lot of the repertoire
manager today is to find satlsfac-
tory matinee bill. The audience
at that performance Is Of a totally
different nature from those that at
tend the evening performances and
a play to please this audience must
have sufficient comedy and sensa-
ton to please without frightening
the little folks and enough heart
interest and sympathy to appeal to
the ladies. Most managers have
given up the effort to find suitable
bills and rely wholly upon the old
stsudbys like east Lynne" "The
Two Orphsns," Ten Nights In a
Bar Room" and "Uncle Toms" to
fill the gap. This season Mr.. Him.
melein has made special fort and
has succeeded In securing the play
he has been after for years. The
above play Is laid In the mountains
of Kentucky among the moonshin'
ers and Is funny, exciting, pleasing,
natural and realistic and withal
interesting. 1t will mark new era
In repertoire circles In the fact that
1t Is the first time In the history of
this branch of the hu siness that an
entirely new play mas been used for
matinee purposes. Bring the chill
dren to see 1t. 1t will afford the
best afternoons amusement they
have had In any years.
