[The State, 4th.1 So far from the cotton mill strike in this city being settle(-as The State yesterday announced was the case-the strike is now of larger pro portions than it had been before and the strikers are more determined than ever. All hope of a settlemllent i abandoned. The strikers will sok other places if -they intend to stick to the union, and there is no indication that any of them have an intention to give up the organiza tion. The strike will now settle down to the usual test of strength and its success depends upon the bility of the mill management to 11 the places vacated. As related in The State yesterday, t a meeting of the union the night efore it was agreed that the strik a should return to their places terday mnornting and off.r for k, the assurance having been con to them that no questions >Id be asked regarding their V.1 bership in the union. Accept this assurance in perfect good aith as many of the union members who could be in timo notified pre sented themselves for work at t'heir accustomed places yesterday morn ing. Many of them were mot. by the "bosses" and asked if thoy w%ere union members, and if so would t.hey agree to renounc the union before working in tlh nills. O'.hers went on into the mrrills and were at work for some time before the bossos could get around to put these questious to them. So far as is known every union operative replied that lie or she belonged to the organization and had no id."a of renouncing it. They were thereupon informed that they could not work there as long as they remained ill the union. Upon this the union operatives left the mills. This was what took place yester day morniin,; at each of the three mills of which Mr. V. B. Smith Whalley is president.. At the Rich land, the Cira ity, the Olympia, the union operatives who returned to I work were lenied employment ex cept upon the condition that they leave the union. In some cases, at least, the proposition was made that I the union operatives should sign a paper declaiming that, they were not members of the Textile union nor would they beconje such so long ats they renmaineud in the employ of the mill company. TMu issue of union ism or non uniionit. was tius sp'are ly made by the mill management. The union has never asked for recog nition as an organization and its members are not responsible f or the issue being made. Many of the strikers h ad confident ly expected to get their jobs back yesterday on the terms indicated while others offered themselves for work in accordance with the agree ment but with little hope of being taken back. All saw, however, that to take this step would put them in a much b)etter position before the pub) lie as the refusal of the managers to carry out the understanding wo)uld place responsibility for further dis agreement directly and unmistakably upon the management and thus re lieve the union and the strikers from that responsibility. It was a good move for the strikers whether they trusted or distrusted that, the under standing would be milhered to. 1t is estimated that something more than one.half the members of the union carried out their part of the pro gramme. The others either could not be reached and perhaps had other employment. THlE MILI.slRUNNINo. The mijlhs were running yesterday with about the same numberr of oper atives as on Saturday. Or at least that is the case so far as it could be sized up from estimates. President Whaley, Secretary Moore and Su perintendent Barnes were nt asked .for statements. The State has learned that polite requests to these omliin S wIU IulUOll Will De met witu curt refusals. Last night according to agreement another meeting of the union was held in Evans' hall. It was larger than the one hold there the night be fore. As on previous occasions some time was consumed in the reception of new r)omnbers and then President Thompson told the members what hey all know, how the mills had re. fuaed to accept their proferred labor unless the union was renounced. There was NO DISAOREEMEN'T us to what they would do. They did not need to be advised that the union should by every fair means endeavor to shut down the Whaley rnills. This was the sentiment of the meeting. There was no thought of 3oncession, no proposition to make further advances towards the man tgenent. Orators were not needed. The uenberi knew well enough what they would do. It was up to Item to either give up the union or luit the Whaley mills for good. Some may leave the union, but if here are such they did not make bieir intention known at the meet g last night. There were about )O(1 or (00 present. THE MEETINO. The meeting as usual was secret. Lresident Thompson and Prfsident Wallace of I ho Federation of Labor, III h d<lires-ted the union, nt'.d both t-rted tclthat thsire had been a breach )f faith (ont the part. of the mill mail tg(,ileent in not. adhering to the agree net announeed the night before. )thers spoke on th, FamHui line. What -esolutions were psed were not made ublic, but Mr. Thompson later said 1o would probably make a statement oday after conference with others. It is known, however, that the ma ority of the union operatives intend o stick to the union. They are deter nimned to get out as many from the nills as possible and to cripple their >perations in that way. The majority f the strikers will endeavor to leave own as soon as possible, but enough vill remain to do missionary work tmong new comers. The union is in or the light. WORK ELSEWHERE. It. was stated yesterday that offers iad been sent here from several local ties for operatives and that the strik irs will have no trouble in locating ilsewhere. Some families packed tip ,heir belongings yesterday and sent ,hem to the depot for shipment. The )elief is that plenty of places are open 'or these hands, particularly in the ka t-h Carolinai mils near Augusta. After the union adjonired last iight t hIere was some1 aniggestionis romt an uniinformned outsider that, mother effort should be made to set le the trouble. Presidlent Thomp.. lOn and President Wallace both de mhared that this was impossible and heir declarations were cheered most eartily. Mr. TIhomps~on said the mnion operatives had three times of !ered to return and had been refused iach. time, "treated like dlogs," one >f the speakers said. The proposi ion to try againl met a chilling re ponise. wisE ADvIoE. P resi dent Thompson took occasion o say publicly what he had said in he union at nearly every meeting hlat the strikers could best gain thleir lids by peaceful means. He urged ~hem to preserve perfect order and 200 violence under any circumstances. EIe said tihe good order so far has seen remarkable andl he hoped it wouldi no maintained. There hlave aeon no clashes and no t roub)le of any iort. COT rON OROP 10,383.000 ISA LKs.

New Orleans, September 2.---The tot als of Secretary Hester's annual report of the cotton crop of the United States were promulgated to day. They show receipts of cotton at all United States ports for the year of 7,706,452 bales,against 6,734, 864 last year; overland to Northern mills 1.140,287, against 1.161.1809 Nouvhern consumption, taken direct from interior of the cotton belt, 1, 576,733, against 1,540,863, making the crop of the United States for 1900 and 1901 amount to 10,383,422 bales, against 2,436,410 last year and 1 1,274,840 the year before. Mr. Hester has made his usual in vestigation into the consumption of every cotton mill in the South, in cluding woollen mill that have used cotton, and the receipts record shows a total of 1,628,933 bales, but of this 44,198 bales were taken from ports included in port receipts. This total shows that the mills of the South have used up 23,819 bales more than during 1899 1890, against a consumption by the North of 2,050, 000. ' Mr. Hester also gives the actual production of Oklahoma, 119,063 bales and Missouri, 25,794. His re port on the cottor crop for the dif ferent States is as follows: North Carolina, including Ken tucky and Virginia, 542,000 bales; South Carolina. 911,000; Georgia, 1,295,000; Alabama, 1,000,000; Flo rida, 45,000; Mississippi, 950,000; Louisiana, 719,000; Arkansas, 762, 000; Tennessee, including Oklaho ma, Missouri, Kansas and Utah, 350,000; Texas, 3,809,000. Tlotal crop 10,383,000 bales. Mr. Hester's full report, which will he issued, will contain interesting facts in relation to the continued in crease in the spindles of Southern mills and to new mills now building, some of which will come into opera tion during the new commercial year. He will also give interesting facts showing that, with an excess in bales over last year of 947,006, the South obtained for the crop an increase of $130,782,729; tha value of this year's crop having reached the enormous total of $495,567,549 more than had ever before been obtained for any cotton crop. The Designer. Those contemplating Hallowe'en festivities should hasten to procure a copy of The Designer for October, for in it are given novel and most entertaining suggestions for such af fairs, quaint illustrations aiding the description. October brides-to-be are especially oonsidered in this number, for it contains bridal toilettes, a sum mary of charming yet not extrava gant trousseau, and Etiquette Hints on bridal affairs. "Points on Dress making" treats of the new sleeves for coats and jackets, and the fashion designs presented are chosen with marked reference to coming Autumn days. A short story of unusual in terest by Charlotte Hall is entitled "A Daughter of the Sundown Sea," and is illustrated most aretistically, as, too, is the bright little comedietta by William Lincoln Balch, which tells the story of "Gay's En gage mnents." "Faint HeIart and Fair Lady," the Kentucky love story by Henry Cleveland WVood, is continued in this issue, and a short story for children. "What Teacher Tiauight Tom," should be of interest not only to parents with re'stless offspring of tender years, but to kindergarten teachers as well. ".Ihe Model Kitch eni" pictures and describ)es many ar ticles that are probably new to De signer housekeepers, and( lesB,.pracfi cal but certainly m'st attractive are articles of an entirely different na ture given under "Dainity Lace Ad orn - ments" and "Novelties in Crotchet ing." "Health and B3e'mty" con tinues the treatment of the arms and hands: "Notes of New Books" pre sents the newest comers in the lit erary arena; "Selections for the Re citationist" gives charming bits of verse for the juvenile orator or for ol ier folk, while "Household Hints," "Nursery Lore" and "Cookery" are as valuable as they are appropriate to the season. Last, but by no means least, must be mentioned with much commendation the millinery styles for Autumn lhe: d covering. No examples of the diflicult and charming art of photographing birds could be more beautiful than the re markable series of pictures by A. H. Verrill, which decorate the opening pages of Leslie's Monthly for Sep temahnr. BOOKS PUPILS WILL HEREAFTER USE, IN AlL '1iIC PU I,iO 8101,Oo4 OF' 1OUlJ0 ' ('AItl1.INA.
