Lockout in Cotton Spinning Trade
Devastates English County.
Cablegram to The Star

Speciai Cablegram to The Star.
MANCHESTER, England. November
1.-The great lockout in the cotton spin
ming trade has now lasted over a month,
and already it's devastating effects are
being felt over the entire county of Lam
caShire.
When the lockout began only 10000
operatives were involved and it was
hoped that an early settlement would
be arrived at, and that there would be
no stoppage of the entire industry. This
hope has been disappointed. AS the
stock of yarn became depleted no fresh
stocks became available. and now practi-
cally the whole of the weaving trade as
well as the spinning is at a standstill.
More than 100000 operatives are idle,
and it is asserted on the authority of
one of the best known men in the indus
try that up to date over S1e.0O0.0O0 has
been lost in wages. This amount may
be divided as follows:
Operatives locked out, s3.600.000.
Weavers and others left voorhees, by
the dispute, $6,400,0O0.
In addition to the loss in wages, the
locked-out operatives have lost from
their trade union funds the amount they

AN ACCURATE CLOCK.
Columbia's Timepiece Varies Only
Six Seconds in a Year.

From the New York Word.
In The observatory of Columbia Cniver-
sity. New York city. is one OF the most
accurate clocks in the world. II has run
for several months with mean error or
only fifteen-thousandths OF a second and
a maximum error of thirty-thousandths of
a second per day. That means that it does
not vary more than half a second month
or six seconds a year.
Compare this with the first pocket time
piece, the Animated Egg of Nuremburg,"
which required winding twice day and
varied an hour and half in the same
time. Compare 1t with some of the high
est priced watches manufactured today.
which often vary more than ten seconds a
week. and you will have some idea of the
refinements in the science of measuring
time Yet even this accuracy is surpass-
ed BY some famous timepieces, IL the trade
maya zines are, to be believed. There have
been accounts in them of clocks or
watches that have varied less than a
second in periods as long as ten wears.

The clock is set up in a room especially
constructed to keep it free from jar or
vibration. The temperature and barome-
trio conditions are maintined practically
constant and every possible precaution is
taken to minimize the errors of the run
ming rate.
II is not generally appreciated that
clocks Of the present type. although used
as far back as the twelfth century. and
possibly earlier. were but fair timekeepers
until several centuries later. In fact it
has only been within the last few decades
that really accurate clocks have been
manufactured. Those which the astronom-
ers used in their observations at the end
of the fifteenth century were so unreliable
that modified forms Of the water clocks
of the ancients were often employed as
checks upon them. Galileos discovery of
the isochronism Of the pendulum from it's
swinging chandelier in the church OF Pisa
was of great value in Its application to
the measurement OF time. The inventions
Of the mercurial and compromising pendu-
lums have aided materially in cutting
down the errors OF the running rate and
controlling the motions of the clock
mechanism.

ELIMINATION OF
LONG ROMANCE
DEPUTY SHERIFF YoKLEY IN
THE ROLE OF MODERN
LocHINvAR.
MARRIES BOYHOOD SWEETHEART
Fearing interference He Took No
Chances and Hurried Trip is Made
To The Preacher.

Coming in the nature of a surprise
to their many friends and somewhat
unexpected in its suddenness to the
bride and groom was the marriage
of Miss Olive Duncan of San Bernan
dino, Cal and Emmett C. Yokley of
Carter's Greek, which took place Mon
day morning at o'clock at the home
of Rev. T. C. Ragsdale, the Methodist
minister at Pulaski.
A romance extending through a
period of several years attaches to the
marriage. The bride is the daughter
of Starkey Duncan and formerly lived
near Carters Greek with her parents.
She and Mr.. Yokley were boy and
girl sweethearts and an absence of
many years and almost an entire
continent separating them did not
serve to Danish love or cause the
young people to forget their attach
ment A few weeks since Miss Dun
can arrived for a visit to her aunt,
Mrs. A. E. McMeen Of Carter's
Creek Mr.. Yokley was one OF the
first callers and was frequent visitor
thereafter. He decided that there
was only one girl in the world for
him and that he could not stand an
other lengthy separation. She de-
cided that there was no place like
Maury county for home and no man
in the west the equal of her Tonnes
see lover SO the two became engaged
and notified a few close relatives,
though the wedding was not contem-
plated for some months.
A complication arose which caused
the young couple to fear some inter-
ference in their plans, so like Young
Lochinvar, the groom-to-be rode to the
McMeen home Sunday night, secured
his bride and caught train to Pu-
laski, where the ceremony was per-
formed. They returned home Monday
afternoon and are receiving the con-
gratulations of many friends. The
bride is a young woman of unusual
attractiveness and adds to
this bright mind and sunny DISPOSE
ton. The groom is deputy sheriff
under Sheriff Webb and is one of the
most popular and highly esteemed
young men in his section of the
county.

Having Pure Drugs And
Foods.

Before the members of the Maury

Inspector, at the court house at noon
Monday gave an interesting description
of the work of his department. This
department of the State government
was instituted on January l, pursuant
to an act of the last Legislature and
as yet the people do not thoroughly
understand the object and extent OF
! the movement. Inspector Brown is
doing admirable work however, in in
medical profession and the laymen in
the movement which means so much
for the people. 1t is to be regretted
that he did not have larger audience
to hear him today. II would have
been a good idea il all the merchants
in the county especially could have
been present
The address or lecture of Inspector
Brown was a comprehensive state
ment of the objects sought to be at
tanned by his department and was
most striking appeal for pure food
and drugs. He declared that the at
tainment of the purity of drugs ana
foods was an object the Importance
of which could not be oyerestimated.
He illustrated the valuable work un-
dertaken by reciting the experience
OF other States which had established
inspection of foods and drugs a mum.
Der of years ago. He proved how the
quality of food and drugs had been
improved and these articles made
wholesome where before they had
been bost deleterious to the public
health.
The pure food law of Tennessee Ia
an enactment OF the pure
food law of the federal government
and it has been highly commended by
those familiar with it's provisions.
However, the people are not familiar
with the requirements Of the law and
the physicians are giving to the In.
