HAMMETT YESTERDAY START FRIDAY Petitions Presented Asking That Operations Begin Under Same Conditions as Formerly. After being closed down for two weeks because of a strike of tbs spinners-and carders, mills No. 1 and 2. Anderson Cotton Mills, will resume operations next PYluay morning at 6 o'clock. This decision was made yesterday afternoon after a petition signed by the heads of about 102 families was presented to Mr. Jas. D. Hammett, president, thc petition declaring that the signers wanted tho mill to start up aguln under the same conditions as existed before thu strike. . Tho names of tho heads of about 47 fam ilies, who do not want the mill to start up under the same conditions as formerly, were ulso presented. Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock a committee composed of Messrs. ll. W, Lee, W_ 8. Stone and G. W. Barrett wenf to soe President Ham mett at his office and presented to bim tho two' liBts containing the sig natures of tito heads of families em ployed In the mill. This committee state dthat they had canvassed the heads of families and that 1C2 of them wished1 to have t ie mill resume operations, under. the samo conditions ?as,.formerly.. /prey also explained that heads of 12 families did not wish to return to work under the same con ditions. The committee stated that the heads of about li? families Were out of the city visiting but that many of these had expressed their desire to liavo thc mill resume operations with same wagea as were formerly paid. After the lls'.s had been presented, and the committeemen had madu their statements, President Hammett spoke to thezn as follows: "I understand that you went ahead and got up this petition voluntarily of your own accord, and that lt rep resents th o heads of families. As far as I am able to understand there are about 1C2 Meads of families, to which is to lu .-.ided a number who did not sign who wa'it to go to v/ork, and about ?7 heads of families who do not want to go to work. Now, we are goingfl to oneil the mill, wc will dis cuss In a moment with our overseers as lo the best time to open the mill) and I want to assure you fellows that tho people who want to go to work (except tho few who were not satis fied ith us and wc arc not satisfied with them and therefore wo do not want them at alli will bo permitted to go to work, thero will bo sufficient police force here to enable them to work and anyone Interfering will be locked up. "We are going to opon t?ie mill and opeh it on thc sninn terms on which lt waB closed dow. f am going to bc very fair to you gentlemen as repre scntatifies of the heads of families and. say that !t is not of any great fin ancial benefit to us to run this mill st the present time, but wo ar - going to run It In order to give people I ? '.ujiioym.m who want employment. . 1 ' there is another strike any time ! i oon I do not. know what osition we elli take, but our people will not stand for lt and cannot be blamed for lt. Our wage scale at Anderson ls as high as lt ls anywhere -In this county. We have to Bell our g.. od? in competition with others who pay their employees less than wo do and it is not reasonable to suppose that wo would pay a higher wage than 'hey oar!, and we do not pror->se for these hot-heads to control our affairs. "The stockholders of this mill who are the owners of the property elect certain men to conduct their business and. these certain mea are going to conduct the business se. long as they are in this position, and we do not propose having a committee come here and dictate to you and me lust what we shall do wl.at we shall not do. As I understand lt this is satisfactory .to you gentlemen. Now thia is the only possible way for us to go back, and If it required aa in creased wage scale we would not opan up for ?la. months. Following the conference with thc members of the committee represent ing those who waot to go back to work President Hammett held a con ference with J. L. Bobo, overseer of weaving, li. ?. Aiken, overseer of carding, C. O. Carter, overseer of spinning, W. C. Austin, overseer of SPLENDID SERVICES OF EPWORTH LEAGUE 'ery Instructive Program Plan ned By Miss Get ?rude Turner Was Carried Out. Thc Epworth league servio,; at St. John's church last evening was es pecially instructive. Those who did not uttend the league certainly miss ed something which Choy should re gret. The program was prepared by Miss Gertrude Turner, 2nd vice-presi dent of thc league, lt was made very offectlvto by tho number of readings which were given. These had beeu carefully selected by Miss Turner OH subjects of every day observation, but still they were full of interest to all those who are open to enlightenment on thy conditions that co J front the modern man. The program was: Miss Gertrude Turner presiding of ficer. Song. Scripture reading, 1 Corinthians :13. Song. Loading: "Duty of Kindness," by .Miss Sudie Skelton. "The Kelicf of Poverty," by W. J. Drown. "Readiness to Give Help," by Victor S. Adams. Song. IJenedlctlon. The entire program was Instructive, and all those present feel very grate ful to Miss Turner for the faithful service she displayed in getting it up. One thing about the leaguo to be regretted is the small attendance. There always seems to ho sonic con flicting engagement on thc night that thc league meets, and numbers who would vary likely attend these Mou dry evening meetings ar called else where. Perhaps this ls due to the fact that so few people know what a great benefit can be derived from an hour spent lu a religious meeting once each week.

Heroism that they demand the return tu their 'white feathers. He lolls th \n simply: "Take them to her" and l'.nally on his return to England she is walting for her feath er and a wedding ring. 1111 i . 1 1 ? ? " cloth room. W.. P.
