LOCKOUT OF WEAVERS.
Lancashire Cotton Workers, 100000
Strong, Shut Out To-day.

Manchester, England, Dec. 90
Nothing has happened to warrant the
hope that the lockout of 100000
cotton workers in Lancashire can be
averted. The lockout is scheduled
for tomorrow, and officially both
sides maintain an uncompromising
attitude. The weavers in the Ha-
lene Mill, at Accrington, went on a
strike December 20, because of the
employment of non-union labor. Two
days later the committee of the Lam
cashire Cotton Spinners' and Manu-
facturers' Association decided to
lock out the workers in all the mills
belonging to the Federation as a pro-
test against the attempts of trade
unionists to force weavers to join
their ranks.
To-day was general holiday and
few cotton men remained in Man.
chester. Therefore, it was not pos
sible to ascertain the views of the
majority, but among some there is a
disposition to refer the disputes to
the Industrial Council, of which Sir
George Askwith, the noted strike
settler, is president.
Meanwhile, the original cause Of
the dispute-the refusal of a man
and his wife to join the union at
Accrington-is likely to he removed
1t is said that the man has agreed to
Join and that his wife will leave
town.
The Federation of Master Cotton
Spinners will meet here tomorrow,
and it is expected, in the event of a
general shutdown of the weaving
sheds, that they will propose the early
closing of the mills in Lancashire,
as it is pointed out that it would be
ruinous to continue spinning yarn
while the looms are idle. This would
cause a general suspension of labor
in the cotton districts.

Thirty Times Wed.

New York, Dec. 21.-There is a
couple in this city who have been
married so many times that they
have probably lost count, and every
minister who smiled over them and
bade them good fortune and success
is the possessOr of a $40 check, for
which he gave $40 in change. The
checks were bad.
1t is an entirely new swindle and
it apparently worked with ease, for
the police have complaints from
nearly 80 ministers, who did not for
a moment doubt the happy couple.
Rev. w. F. Kerney, then of 33
West Twenty-sixth street, was the
first clergyman he police heard
from. On October % there called
on him a young man, who said he
was Eugene Keller, of PAT West
Thirty-sixth street, and a young wo-
man who seemed very shy and upon
whom Mr.. kerney beamed with cor
responding benevolence. They were
in great hurry and were united
with all reasonable speed.
Mir. kerney took d $50 check with
alacrity. and when he came back
with the change he found the couple
eXtricating themselves from an en-
brace that brought bushes to the
cheeks of the bride. They were very
much in love, he thought, and as they
went down the steps and left him
with the check in his hand, the cler-
gyman meditated on what makes the
world go round and went slowly back
to his study.

MAIL BY FAST FREIGHTS.
Hitchcock says Government is Say
ing Large Sums OH New Plan.

New York, Dec 26.-Postmaster
General Frank H. Hitchcock intends
tc extend the practice of carrying
second-class mail by fast freight
trains. He so stated in an answer
he filed in the United States Circuit
court to-day in the case of the Re-
view of Reviews Company, which
complained of discrimination because
it's magazines were carried by freight
instead of by mail trains through
the middle West for distribution to
far distant points.
The postmaster general says the
government lost seven cents pound
on all second-class matter transport
ed from New York to the Pacific coast
by mail trains in 1907-0S, but that
since early this year, when the fast
freight rule was enforced on certain
periodicals issued at intervals of a
week or more a saving of s1,400,000
has been made.
The rule has so far been applied
only to the so-called third central
section, but as soon as contracts with
railroads in three other sections ex-
pire the rule will be enforced there.
This, says the postmaster general,
will make an annual saving of s3,-
100000 in the transportation of Sec
ond-class mail.

over this way that We may have one

County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt EtchingS.

Ehrhardt, Dec 26. Last week
has been very damp, wet week;
raining nearly the whole time. Autos
are not moving about much, as the
mud and water makes the roads too
tough for them.
Mr. Frank Kinsey, son of DR.. G.
E. kinsey, who has been here for
some time clerking for his brother,
Charley Kinsey, died at his home af-
ter a short illness. He had all the
attention that medical aid could
give him and all the nursing that
could be had, but he was called and
had to go. Thus his earthly career
ended. A young, hopeful life, in the
prime of manhood, is taken from
among US. Frank, we will miss you
in all vocations. Jolly, good-natured,
sober, energetic and honest was his
record while among us. An allround
good young man in every way lies
now at his last resting place at the
cemetery at Williams, S. c., leaving
his many friends to mourn his un-
timely departure from this life and
place flowers on his grave in mem
ory of past friendship and tokens of
respect.
On Thursday last one of Col. ]. G.
Folks sons was at work around their
ginnery. when his clothing was
caught by set screw on revolving
shaft and in a short while whirled
the young life away from the body
of the young man.
Our school shut down for the holi-
days on the 22nd of December. Cant
say when they will start up in 1912.
Teachers have gone to their homes
for a short stay with their parents
and help them devour their Xmas
turkeys.
Moving picture shows have been
going on nearly all of last week and
had very good audiences every night,
notwithstanding the rains and bad
weather. This week fortune tellers,
horse traders, and carnival will
hold forth. Think they will get most
of the money that whiskey and cloth
ing, by mail orders, has left in the
hands of our people.
Monday night the Ehrhardt Luth-
eran Sunday-school had Christmas
tree for the school, Equality pres
ents was the main idea for the little
ones so as to make them feel that
none was above the others in the
thoughts of the superintendent and
teachers. Recitations and songs
were rendered by the little ones. 1t
surely makes ones heart glad to hear
the little ones sing. More of it
should be INDUCED in by all OF our
schools and the result would be far
better than any one has any idea OF.
You hear little tots singing to their
dolls, why not let it be spicy Sun
day-school song in place of some
other that is not so good. Then, too,
it makes them less bashful on other
occasions when you want their SER
vices. The Christmas service was
success and we feel happy by MAX
ing the little ones happy. JEE.

KINGS SLAYER LIBERATED
JOE DAVIS, WHO KILLED BAM-
BERG'S POLICEMAN, PAROLED.
Gov. Blesse Presents Thirty Convicts
with Christmas Presents in the
Form of Freedom.

Gov. Blease last Saturday paroled
and pardoned thirty convicts, among
them being Joe Davis, who, in 1903,
killed Chief of Police King, of this
city, while drunk, was paroled dur
ing good behavior. 1t will be re-
membered that at the time of this
killing public sentiment was much
against Davis, and it was feared at
first that the citizens would take the
law in their own hands, but cooler
heads prevented this, and the law
was allowed to take it's course, and
Davis was tried, convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary.
1t will be remembered that Davis
killed King at his (Davis's) home,
shooting him just above the heart
with a shotgun, as King opened the
door to enter, after having been
asked by Davis's wife to go with
her and try and make Davis behave,
who was drunk and threatening to
kill her. Davis shot Policeman King
at a house on what is known as Fac
tory Hill, killing him instantly.

clemency were exercised are from

port of family to murder.
