NEGROES FOR ARTILLERY.
Their Enlistment Recommended by
F.. Brigadier General Barry in His An
nual Report.

Washington, October 5.-Brigadier
Barry, commanding the department of
gulf in his annual report. recommends
the enlistment of colored men for the
artillery n their assignment to the
companies serving at eacoast posts
from Virginia to New Orleans. Mos,
of these artillery stations he says are
in the formative period, and many are
undesirable by reason of excessive and
prolonged heat, isolation, mosquitoes
and bad water. Men rarely re-enlist. at
these posts and General Barry says
that the maintenance of the organiza.
tons at their authorized strength is a
matter of serious moment.
TT would seem only fair say he.
'to transfer the organizations after a
tour of say three years at these stations
which will maintain the organization
intact and foster its tradition and his
tory. With a view TO encouraging their
re-enlistment, the transfer Of the non-
commissioned officers, mechanics and
cooks of these organizations has been
suggested, which will tend only TO fur
ther dissatisfaction and disorganization
The enlistment Of cofored men for the
artillery and their assignment to the
companies serving at these stations
suggests itself. There would seem tc
be ample authority for their enlistment
under the law. These men woul be
content at the stations referred to
can be attained N any number desired
and in time will master the require
ments of the coast artillery service, anc
there would be no difficulty at all times
in maintaining the organizations a.
their authorized strength"

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING.
Two Prominent Republicans Spoke at
the Cour House Last Night.

The crowd that attended the Repub-
lean speaking at the court house last
night was far better than was expect
ed. On account of its being show day
only a small crowd could nave been ex-
pected and a large crowd would not
have been expected under the most IA
vorable conditions.
The speakers last night were men
calculated to get the Republicans to-
gether. One of them was Hon. G. J.
Harris, the Republican nominee for
governor, and the other Hon. Thomas
Settle, who is one of the best stump
speakers in the state. The speakers
were introduced by Mr.. b. r. Keith in
a brief manner.
MI. c. J. Harris spoke first and from
a Republican standpoint he made a
good speech. He is a business man
and has never made but a few stump
speeches and his style is the plain
manner of one man talking to another
without any attempt at oratory. The
speech OF Mr.. Settle was attentively
listened to, although his Democratic
hearers differed widely with him in
his opinions.
Mr.. Harris goes to Fayetteville to-
day where he and Colonel Harry Skim
ner speak tonight. Mr.. Settle goes to
Greensboro to speak.

TRY TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS
Organization of the Southern COlored
Goods Association Perfected-Reso-
lutiOns Adopted and Officers Elected.

Charlotte. N. c., Oct. 5.-About 90
prominent men in the southern colored
goods association met here today and
perfected the organization of that asso-
citation which was formed in Atlanta
September Z.
The prime object of the gathering
wa sto improve the condition of the
colored goods market, which is far
from satisfactory now and has been
for some time. Something more than
$50. 900 spindles and nearly 5000 looms
were represented.
The following officers were elected:
F. O.. Mooring, secretary and treas
urer Of the Carleigh Mills, Raleigh y.
| c., president.
J.. w. Fries. persiden of Arista and
! Southside mills, of Winston-Salem, N.
C.. vice president.
3. S. Robertson, secretary and treas
urer Of the Holt-Granite mills, OF Haw
River, N. c., secretary and treasurer.
The following resolutions We:e
adopted:
Resolved. That we recommend that
colored goods mills continue to curtail
to The same extent as in the past
three months, and until the market
conditions change.
Resolved, further, That it is the
sense of this meeting that h colored
goods mills should not allow the COM
mission merchants to make freight al
lowances beyond the Mississippi nor
north Of Chicago, and that in no case
should they permit a guarantee Of
prices or put goods on Memorandum"
The secretary was instructed to noti-
fy all colored goods mills in the south,
not represented in the meeting, Of the
action taken and invite them to become
members of the association.
When interviewed, Secretary Robert
son said it was estimated that the cur
tailment for the past three months rep
represented one-third or more Of the
south's total production of cOlored
goods He added:
Il believ all mills are in sympathy
with the purposes of our association
and most of them will join when tine
matter is brought to their attention. In
company with Walter l.. Holt y.
C. Entwistle, L visited a great number
of the mills. going as far south as New
Orleans and found all of them in hear
ty acord and willing to join in the
movement we have inaugurated."
The next meeting of the association
will be at the call of the president.
A lumber of manufacturers sent let
tiers giving the expression Of thei.
hearty sympathy with the meeting and
saying they would gladly abide any ac-
ton that might be taken.
]. A. Smith, of Bessemer City, presi
dent of the Bessemer cotton mills, in
response to an inquiry said that he did
not think business had improved since
the meeting in Atlanta.
F. 0. Mooring, president of the asso-
citation. said:
There is very little business in oul
line, and wha business we are abb
to pick UP is at a loss. 4 great many
of the colored goods mills have beer
either shut down or are running o.
short time, and it is hardly probable
that full time will be made until mar
ket conditions improve. So long Il:
there is scarcely any demand and &
: low price, there is no inducement tc
continue making goods"

SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL.
Sis Baldwin Will Again Make Life
Miserable for the Inmates Of the
COuntS Jail.

Often guilty persons come nearer Sc
curing their just deserts in either the
police or magisterial courts han in
the higher court. This fact was plain
ly demonstrated yesterday when Sis
Baldwin was arraigned in the police
court for being disorderly and also for
being drunk and resulted in her being
sentenced to Jail for sixty days.
1t is a pity indeed that such a char
acter cannot be put to work instead of
being placed in Jail to lea a life Of
idleneSs for the mex two months. For
the majority of people confinement in
Jail would be punishment, but there are
many negroes who do not mind it in the
least. They do not have to work and
get we'll fed and they rather like it.
This condition of affairs is not liable
to exist many months longer for the
county commissioners nave about de-
sided to establish a house of correction
to be run in conjunction with the coun>
ty home and at the institution will be
imprisoned women and youthful crimi-
nails. The county ownS a farm at the
county home and both women and
youthful convicts will be required to
work on the farm. There will also be
a work house in which the prisoners
can be made to do some kind of useful
work during bad weather. The sooner
the county adopts the above system and
gets the Jail birds to work the better IL
will be for boil the city and county.
There is a law in North Carolina
against working women on the roads.

THE FOURTH CELEBRATION.
There Will Be Something Doing, After
All, on That Day.

1t looks as if Waterville was to have
something of Fourth of July cele-
bration after all, and if she does it will
be mainly due to the management Of
the Central Maine Fair Association.
These gentlemen are to have cele-
bratiOn at their park i'll the aftrnoon
of the Fourth and they are trying to
arrange for a celebration to be held
about the city streets in the forenoon.
They propose to have an automobile
parade as the big feature of this cele-
bration, and if they succeed as they
probably will, Waterville will have a
parade that no other city in the State
with the possible exception of Port
land, can boast of. There are IA auto
mobiles in the city which will enter
the parade, and enough others have
been promised from other places in
the country to swell the number to
nearly thirty. This will be a unique
and n very pleasing celebration, and
the success of the committees plans
will be watched with interest.
The city government has entered in
to the spirit of the affair and at the
meeting. last evening, voted an APP
proprio ton of $3.50 to further the plans.
1t is q years since Waterville had Z
Fourth Of July celebration, and that
celcbra ton this year should be made
good one.

Exciting Ten-lnning Game Gives
Series to the Institute.

Coburn Classical Institute defeated
Waterville High school in baseball at
the Central Maine Fair grounds. Tues
day afternoon, by score of 10 9 in a
1O-inning game, winning the third and
deciding game of the SERIES The game
was loose and both teams had it won
several times before the ninth, but a
comedy of errors would let in a couple
of runs and it was not until a batting
streak aided by errors in the tenth
gave Coburn the winning run. Farm
ham was in the box for the High school
and though he gave but one base on
balls he was touched up for nine hits
which, aided by number of errors,
gave Coburn the game. Tibbetts did
good work in the box for Coburn and
with better support would have won
his game without trouble. He struck
out is men, but at times was as wild
as hawk and gave five bases on
balls.
A big crowd saw the game, the grand
stand being occupied by q crowd of
students from both schools who cheer
ed themselves hoarse in the effort to
urge their favorites to better playing.
The Coburn students had a celebration
after the game, getting hold of the
the Baptist church and ringing them
Justify, and in other ways expressing
their elation. The summary:

The Temporary Bridge Begun.

The temporary bridge across the
south channel OF the Kennebec has
been commenced I'm order to allow the
removal of the old covered bridge as
soon as possible. This temporary
structure will be a pontoon bridge, SUI
ficiently wide for teams to pass con-
veniently. 1t will extend from land OF
Levi Weston, commonly called the,
Weston grove, to point on West Front
street near the end of the street wall.
A portion of this wall will have to be
removed to allow the incline to be suf-
ficiently graded.
1t was at first intended to place the
south end about so feet east of where
it now is, where there is a space of per-
haps Is feet between two houses for a
temporary street. but, on account of the
sharp corners, this would have caused
much confusion of teams at the south
approach to the bridge. 'la.
1t had also been intended to put In a
flame bridge, but the pontoon offers
more advantages in case of a fresfiet.
