NunicipaI Socialism Rebuked.

The complete ;reut of the progress
ives in London last week at the cleo
tions for members of the London
County Council is one of tha most
interesting of recent developments in
connection with British affairs The
defeat of the ~progressives was expect
ed, but it was proven even more dras-
tic and complete than hoped for.
The progressives, who advocated
every fad of municipal socialism,
have had control of the county coun-
ellis for the past sixteen years and
during that time they have saddled
the taxpayers of London with an
enormous debt, aggregating on March
so, 1905, the immense sum of $576,187,
900. At first the people Of London
/. applauded the expenditures Of the
progressives in acquiring control OF
tramways and opening up new lines
of street transportation. The acqul-
sition of water, sewerage and lighting
plants Was also hailed with satisfac-
ton, but when it was discovered that
the income from these utilities did
not meet all the expenses, and that
the taxpayers had to>pay> the bill in
| every case, the Satisfaction gradually
changed to chagrin and more recently
to violent oppoeidon-N O. CPieayune

Charlotte, y. c., March 21.-Leadlng
cotton manufacturers OF the two Caro-
linas met here today to take action re-
garding the methods Of shipping cotton
from the Mississippi delta to this SEC
ton.
The complaint of the mill men, stat
ed briefly. is that they receive a bill
of lading, with draft attached, for cot
ton they order from the south, and it
is necessary to pay this draft at sight.
In the meantime the railroads, the mill
men claim, take their own time about
shipping this cotton, and it is some
times weeks before the delivery OF the
goods.
The mill men want 10 change meth
DDS; that when a bill of lading is made
out it will contain the car number and
lettering, and SO that the consigned
will know that this cotton has been
loaded. n Will be IN q position TO
have shipments hurried up. In a nut
shell the mill men do not want to Gay
for goods that are being neld back for
shipment until they know that the cot
ton has been loaded and is III the
hands of the railroads.
Strong resolutions were adopted in
which the spinners represented aafea
to decline TO honor drafts unless ac-
companied by bills Of ,lading- covering
cotton actually in cars containing car
numbers, said a numbers covering
cars actually holding cotton lopresent-
ed in the bill Of lading., The resolu-
tons call upon the various ASSOCIATIONS
of. cotton manufacturers OF the country
to. stand by the southern spipners in
this action ~ . .
