Two women were strangers to
each other at reception. After q
few moments desultory talk, the
first said, rather querulously: "I
don't know what's the matter with
that tall, blond gentleman over
there. He was 80 attentive a
while ago, but he won't look at me
now" "Perhaps," said the other,

mington Messenger (democratie):
1.-THE American Cotton Manufac-
turer says that the prosperity of the
cotton mills In and around Charlotte
IL simply phenomenal, and 1t Is
demonstrated by the large increase
In the number OF spindles and looms.
Il also announces that two we'll
known mill men are contemplating
building two up-tO-date cotton mills
In Denton, the new town in David
con county. From other sections of
the State comes similar news about
the growth Of cotton manufacture"
Was such prosperous conditions as
this ever true under Cleveland's adj
ministration No, instead of new
cotton mills being built during his
administration, many that were al
ready operating had to close down
and over a million of people were
thrown out of employment. And
If the Democrats were to get control
Of our national government again
with their free trade platform we
would again see these mills close
their doors and go out of business.
If the protective tariff does not
benefit the mill men, why is it new
mills are springing up all over the
South7 When the new mills are
built 1t means more employment for
the laboring people and it also means
that the money will be spent at
home instead of sending it abroad
to pay cheap foreign labor to manu-
facture our goods.
