I g-. THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, October 17,1906. Hill Help is Very Scarce. Providence,. Oct. 8.?Cotton mill agents in Rhode Island complain of a scarcity of labor in some departments and assert that in this respect the increase of wages granted early last summer did not have the beneficial result hoped for. The increase has not thus far drawn back a sufficient number of those who left the mills when wages were lowered and when there is dissatisfaction among workmen for other reasons. >; In some mills, at present, more * ' * -a ai i ; ? looms are stuppeu, luiui us? mc case heretofore in the history of the industry in this State. In one large mill there are said to be six hundred looms idle, while a few years ago, the number of applicants for work exceeded the demand. A fifth of the looms in another large mill are said to be stopped for want of operatives. This scarcity of labor has brought about keen competition among mill officials in offering inducements to families of workers to become permanent help and foremen and second hands are employed constantly in* looking for new hands. In some instances the expenses of removing families and their household belongings from one village to another has been paid by the mill management so eager were they to secure experienced , hands who can be depended on to remain permanently. The Saniaox. The equinoxtial gales that come at the period of thejran crossing the line that divides summer from winter, making the day and the night everywhere on the iriobe of equal length, which some times carrys death and 9 distraction as the last one did. The vernal equinox comes about the 21st of March, and the autumnal equinox about the 23d of September. This year it was before and after the time, and consequently there may be more bad weather to follow, at what period we do not know. Scentific astronomers miss some times.

Wessinger, who resides in Lexington county, about eight I I miles from the court house, fell from an electric car on Main street about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and received injuries about the face and head which necessitated her being taken to the Columbia hospital. She is not thought to be seriously hurt. The car from which the lady fell was coming down Main street on its to the union station from Blanding street. As it was nearing Lady / street, Mrs. Wessinger arose and before any of those on the car realized what occurred, she pitched headlong gr out of the side of the open car to the street. The car was quickly stopped and the injured lady was picked up unconscious and taken to the drug store of Dr. E. C. McGregor. An ambulance was summoned and she was taken to the hospital.?State, Oct. 12. Dirt Cheap. In his address at Darlington on the iff inst., Mr. Smith, president of the South Carolina division of the Southom Cotton Association, told of his recent trip over the cotton belt before * and since the storm and gave it as his opinion that there would be no more and likely less cotton made this year than last. He stated that "the price ' is dirt cheap at 12>? cents," but he does not advise planters to hold above the 10 oents margin if they have obligations to fneet. ? . Advice to Housewifes.

That the coming winter is going to be the hardest one for the past twenty years there is an abundance of signs to show, and among them it may be mentioned that: The corn husks are a foot and a half thick, and all the stalks lean to the west. * The geese, ducks and chickens are growing a coat of fur under their leathers, and are rubbing borax on their feet to harden them up. All the one-eye owls are leaving the country a month earlier than usual, and the bob-tailed squirrels are laying in sweet potatoes, as well as nuts, for winter provisions. The farmer who has taken the trouble to investigate has found that all the toadstools on the old logs have wrinkled in them. The last time that this happened he^had winter weather that froze the bodies of plows. Babbits are f^tfcng around with humped-up look7 to them, and field mice have wriqkles in their tails. If this means anything it means 20 degrees below zero from November through to May.?Tryon Herald. An Awful Cough Cured.
