spectively. Ellis F. Carter is over

A. P. Rhyne, of Mount Holly, X.
C., president of several cotton mills,
was in Fayetteville. N. C., last week

tors of the Plm nix cotton mills Co.
He made an oiler to the directors
that upon certain conditions he
would move the machinery from a
Philadelphia hummock factory into
the new Phoenix building and make
the concern a joint stock company,
the directors to furnish the working
capital. The matter is now under
consideration.
The prospective woolen mill at
North Wilkesborn, N. C., is being
worked up by G. W. Hinshaw. of
Winston, N. C., and W. F. Trogdon,
! of Greensboro, N. C. They say that
parties up North are anxious to invest
in the enterprise, bu^ want some
local parties to take stock and super
intend the work. Our correspondent
at Wilksboro, J. S. Foster, says that
is certainly a favorable location for
such an enterprise, and thinks it
would, if properly managed, pay
good dividends.
The Mayodan cotton mills, Mayo-
dan, N. C., arc preparing the foun
dation for a 50 feet addition to their
mill. The new part, when com
pleted, will be used as an opening
room. These mills have 15.000 mule
spindles. The company, so it is
said, contemplate building a new
mill, near this one, whenever the
conditions are favorable. They will
have plenty of water power, as the
Mayo river, on which the present
mill is situated,* will furnish suffi
cient power for another mill of like
size.
The new Smitherman cotton mills,
Troy, N. 0., contemplate starting in
Janury or February, so we are ad
vised by the company. They have
bought only their steam plant, but
will perhaps buy Kitson lappers,
Woonsocket speeders, etc. They
will put in 2,080 spindles and 80
looms to commence with to make 4
yd. sheetings. They expect hereaf
ter to make the mill a 5,000 spindle
and 200 loom one. The officers are
8. J. Smitherman, president; Miss
Minnie Smitherman, vice-president;
A. W. E. Cupel, Socretary'and Treas
urer; and Miss Inu Smitherman,
book-keeper.
The cotton mill hands at Laurens.
S. C., have become worked up
against the negroes. On the night
of Sept. 1 at the cotton mill store
there was trouble between the mana
ger and employe. In ejecting a
young white man from the building,
a negro employe, by order, assisted.
The factory people got excited and
moved in crowds in search of the
negro and demanded that the store
manager should be discharged. All
is again quiet. It is said that about
fifty employes of the mill were dis
missed, but. others have taken their
places and the mill runs on as
smoothly as ever.

JURY IN FREIGHT CAR.

Squire Kirk, of Alexandria, Ind., has
had trouble with juries “hanging.” Be
probably solved the question of hasty
verdicts the other day, and his recipe
may be of value to other justice shops
over the country.
Some petty offenders were on trial
in his court. The case had taken some
time, was t complex, and there were ex
cellent chances of another “hung jury”
on the question of guilty or not guilty.
When he instructed the jury he said:

able here. I have selected a box ear j
dowu on the railroad' traek. It will |
hold 12 men and my constable will
show you to it.”
The 12 jurors were marched to their '
freak jury-room and began deliberat- j
ing on the case. It looked very much
as if they were going to “hang,” even in
those quarters.
The constable had taken the precau- !
tion to lock the door, and the mun-
:holes at the ends of the car were the
only openings. When the 12 men had
keen given time to make up their minds
a switch engine was steamed up the
track past the ear.
After switching around some time it
was hitched onto the car and began
moving it away. The jurymen were
soon brought to the realization that
they were about to be landed in Louis
ville or Benton Harbor. There was a
hasty ballot and it was followed by
a thundering at the door and cries of
“Here’s your verdict.”
The constable was not long in get
ting to the car. The jury was marched
up town to the squire’s court. The ver
dict was found to be “not guilty.”
It is likely the city of Alexandria will
provide a half dozen box cars and an
engine for special use in bringing
juries to qui^k conclusions.
The scheme is the most successful
one yet tried in this section of the
state, where “hanging juries” is prac
ticed by loafers in order to get in two
-or three days’ pay on a verdict that
should be agreed upon in five minutes.

with Nuxlon* Ga*e*.
Medical men at Beaver Falls, Pa., have
been greatly puzzled by the case of
little Willie Rothman, whose brother in
flated him with a bicycle pump the
other afternoon. All night the doctors
were trying to devise some harmless
method of deflating the child.
Mrs. George Ruthman. the mother
of the child, was nearly prostrated
when one of the neighbors suggested
that the baby be punctured. It appears
that the pump used on W’illie by his
biother was an old one, and was made
of a combination of metals, which, ow
ing to the fact that it had not been
cleaned lately, generated a gas. 'Phis

.Man Twwed by a Carp.
Few liahermeu, especially in inland
waters, have the novel experience of
heyv porterdon aneeb.aEevv oledsat
riding in a boat towed by a fish. Such
was John Clark's luck while fishing at
Black Rock dam, near I’hoenixville. IV.
a few days ago. In the middle of the
stream he hooked a monster carp,
which resisted as the line was hauled
up. Neither fisherman nor carp was
disposed to yield, so away went Clark's
bout up stream, towed by the fish. It
was an exciting time for the fisherman,
but finally, in a quarter of a mile, be
managed to stop the akiff and get the
upper hand of the carp. The fish was
hauled into the boat, landed and taken
to Clark's home. It weighed S3 pounds.
