MITIGATION IDEA OPPOSED.
1t Did Not Originate With the UHiyer-
sity of North Carolina.

Especial to The Charlotte Observer
Chapel Hill, August 30.-It may be
of interest to learn that the UNIVERSE
~ Of North Carolina does not favor
the uniication idea. now under discus
sion in the state press. The Raleigh
papers have made it appear that the
idea originated here and a large num-
Der of people in the state seem to AXE
it for granted. AS a matter of fact,
the University las had nothing to do
with IL and should the movement be
put through some of the ablest men
in the faculty would resign. DR.. Vena-
bic, president of the institution, looks
with entire disfavor upon such a
scheme.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening Of the one hundred and
tenth annual session OF the University
of North Carolina on next Monday,
September 5th. Most of the faculty
and about so students are already on
the hill. Over IL per cent. more old
students will return this year than
last. An unprecedented number Of
letters have been received from young
men informing the president of their
intention of matriculating at the Uni
verSity this fall. In manifold ways
this session promises to De one of un-
examples prosperity. The entrance
examinations and also those for the
removal of conditions begin Monday.
The regular lectures start Thursday Of
next week.

unknown. Not the slightest trace OF

Story of a Magic Bath Tub.

Newport, r. l.. August 2S.-A story is
going the rounds at this resort which
is keenly enjoyed by the older MEM
bers of the select set.
One of the late additions to the list
OF Newporters. a nan who came out
of the West and quickly accumulated
a torture in Wall street, has just oc-
cupied a magnificent villa, built for
him after designs largely his own.
The structure Is a fine example Of
art in architecture, but Newport, which
has not taken very kindly TO the at
tempt of its owner to break into the
smart set, has had little opportunity
to examine it's interior. II lives In
expectation, however, for the wife OF
the newcomer, dainty, petite, extreme
ly modest and shy, has confided to
some OF her friends tina before the end
OF the season she expects to give an
affair TO which all Newport will be in
vited.
A few days ago the owner Of the
mansion was showing friends through
h place, enthusiastically pointing
out all of its superb features, and stat
ing in dollars and cents the cost OF
each one Finally they reached to-
bathroom, finished in purest white mar
bic. with gold trimmings.
Here I have the finest bathroom in

architects tell me there is nothing in
the world 10 compare with it.

that" was the owner answer, Il JUS

President Donnelly's Efforts o Spread
In Strike Against he Packers
His Intention Is to Create q Meat
Famine.

Chicago. August 3i--The efforts OF
President Dornelly. OF the Butchers
union TO spread the strike against the
packers through all trades that he
in any way contested with the packing
house industry was only partially sue
cessful today.
The first step was in calling out the
men employed by the independent pack
ers and the stock handlers. that were
still at work for those packers against
whom the original strike was made.
The total number of men who guilt
work today in response 10 the appeals
OF President Donneily was about 3.oco-
It was also announced by President
Donnelly that he had made arrange
ments for a strike OF the switchmen
on the railroads doing business In the
stock yards, that in a short time
the packers would find IL Impossible
to ship o. their products. The switch
men. however. have refused 10 strike.
After a long meeting tonight, which
was attended jointly by members of
of the Brotherhood Of Railway train
men, il was decided that the members
of 10Th organizations would remain at
work.
The packers says ii is Donnelly'sI in
tention 10 create a meat famine, which
he thinks would rouse the public TO
such a pitch Of Indignation that a set
tlement would be forced.

FIVE BALES OF NEW COTTON.
Mr. Alex. Casey Brings in First Cotton
o the Goldsboro Market-Begin-
ming Of the Trial Of Dan Teachey.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Goldsboro, IN. c.. September lon
the last day of August Of he present
year while the news gatherer had his
attention turned in s1other direction.
1--WE bales Of new cotton were brought
into this market by Nj. Alex. Casey,
one of Wayne county's most progressive
and extensive farmers. The cotton was
the first of the season and only sold
for 10 lis cents. because Of the infe-
rio grade. Mr.. Casey is entitled to
the credit of putting the first new cot
ton on this market, but in his anxiety
TO do SO he had his cotton ginned too
green and the staple vas very much
1acerated by the gin saws. 1t g said
by cotton buyers here that new cotton
OF an acreage grade should be worth at
least 10 1-2 cents.
The information that this c~orrespon-
dent received relative to the trials OF
he " murderers Dan Teachey and
George Daniels this week in Kenans-
vile was incorrect. The trial of Dan
iels has been continued and Teachey's
trial was begun today. A special yeniIe
OF two hundred men was ordered by
the court and it is anticipated that
much trouble will be had in getting d
jury on account of the publicity which
has been given the case. He has been
convicted once and sentenced for the
offense. The Daniels trial was continued
because it was not thought that both
cases could be disposed OF this week.
Mr.. Troy Hales, the man who was in
a room during a sever thunderstorm
some weeks ago near Pikeville, when
a woman was killed by lightning, was
in the city today for the first time since
he was also severely shocked and gave
a vivid account of the event. He says
hat a piece of paper which he held in
his hand al the time of the shock was
set on fire and that balls of fire ran
across the and set several inflam-
able articles on fire. The shock which
resulted IN the death of the woman was
terric. A stream of fire was seen by
other occupants of the room to run
down her back. The current could be
traced in Zigzag shape down her spinal
column. He considers his escape from
death almost miraculous.
