colonist was in town yesterday, the Rev
w. B. Barnett of Mississippi, who Is here
for the purpose of making arrangements
to bring a lot of negroes from all over
his state to Walker City, where they pro-
pose to establish negro town. This ne
gro leader says that he will have no trou-
BILE in inducing hundreds of his race to
come here and he expects to be back in
few weeks with a delegation.
If the plans of the Rev. Mr.. Barrett are
carried out 1t will mean a town strictly
for the black man.
A similar town has also been started at
what Is known as Booker City, some dis
lance from Ensley. Booker City, how
ever, as well as Walker City, is built large
ly, as yet. on paper.
The county is grading the Ensley and
Adamsville road near Booker City, and 1t
is thought this will greatly add to the
colonization movement there among the
blacks.

MANCHESTER, June 2S.-Trading
on the cloth market last week showed
no improvement. There were occa-
sional transactions for minor Eastern
outlets. Goods were reported to be
moving more freely in China at rates
far below the cost of replacing. There
was small miscellaneous business III
other departments. Prices were firm
and generally beyond the reach of buy
ers. A further curtailment of produc-
ton appears inevitable.
The situation in the yarn trade was
deplorable. Stock is accommodating in
spite of the reduced output and it is
suggested that four days stoppage of
the mills and two days work would be
more satisfactory than the present ar
rangement.
