UNION MLN ARE OUT Twenty-Six Moulders in Bowie & Ter hune's Foundry QnH, IT WAS CAUSED BY 10 PER CENT CUT Low Prices and Lack of Sales Cause Ac tion of Foundary Managers. Work Resumed Today. Bowie & Terhune’s Stove Foundry was closed down yesterday. Though the 26 union moulders walked oat on Thursday, the utmost good feeling is said to exist between the employes and employers. . The story of the differences began a little over two weeks ago. Mr. J. P. Bowie manager, yesterday made this statement to a Tribune reporter: "For the past six weeks we have been running on short time. We found this necessary because of the decreased demand for our product aad the close prices we had to make on the same. About two weeks ago we made this proposition to oui men: That a uniform cut of 10 per cent in wages be made, and two-thirds of them given regular work, we to run the risk of disposing of our output. “They asked for two weeks time to consider, which we agreed to. That time had about expired when they notified us that they would not accept onr proposition. We in turn notified them that further negotiations would accomplish nothing and that we would be ready to settle with them Friday at 11 a. m. The majority of the men had been with us, 10 to 15 years. I am glad to say that the utmost good feeling exists between the firm and the pld employes. ” “Will you resume work ? packed the reporter. "Yes, we’will start up again tomor row morning." One of the moulders was eeen and in reply to questions said: “About two weeks auo we were notified that there wov.ld be a uni form cut of 10 per cent in our wages, ■and that only a portion of the men would be kept. Twenty-six of us be longed to the Moulder’s Union and Mr. Valentine, of Cincinnati, vice president of the organization, came here, and we held a consultation. He finally told us to go to work under protest for two weeks and in that time the matter might be satisfactory adjusted. "The time was up Thursday, and the foundry people notified us to call Friday and get our pay and our tools. That is the way the matter stands now.” There were twenty-six men work ing in the foundry who are members of the moulders union. Their wages ranged from $2.50 to $3.50 per day. before the cut was ordered. There is a general fund out of which married men are paid $7.50 per week and sin gle men $5 while they are out of work caused by any differences between employers and employed. There is also a sick benefit. It is understood that several of the men have left (Rome to seek employ ment in other cities. Studio Opened.

The Rockmart Slate says: “When the announcement was made Tuesday morning by President Ballinger that school would close the following day, it was indeed a surprise to everyone, and accordingly Wednesday at noon pupils gathered up their books and went out from Piedmont to return no more this term. “Failing health of the president ?cir eity-of funds, falling off in attendance and other things also caused school to close one month before the end of the term. Very near all the boarding pupils have departed for their homes, conse quently the college end of the town has a rather deserted appearance. Miss Barkesdale, who has done verj’ efficient and brilliant work in Pied mont this fall, will leave for her home at Milledgeville Monday. Pref. Steed is attending conference at Athens. The local teachers are enjoying a well earned rest, with the exception of Prof. Ballenger, who is also attend ing conference. In all probability school will re-open first of the new year and there may be some changes in the faculty. NEW FREIGHT DEPOT. Work About Completed On C. R. & S., Freight Building. The new brick and stone freight depot of the C. R. & S. R, R., facing on Second avenue near the Land Com pany bridge is almost completed. The tinsmiths are nearly through putting on the roof, and the interior finishing work is being done. The front of the depot is of pressed bricks and presents quite a handsome ap pearance. The building is commo dious, and has a stone foundation raising it above high water mark. The C. R. & S , people have not yet formulated any plans pie ns for a pas senger depot. It is said that they have discussed the idea of building just across the tracks from the new passenger depot of the N. C. & St, L.,’ Railroad, and that the tracks between would be covered, with iron roofing. Bat whether this will be done or not is not known yet. Work goes steadily on with the N. C. & St. L , freight and passenger depots. It will be only a few weeks longer before thay are completed. DEATH NEAR JACKSONVILLE. Dr. Montgomery, a Well-known Physi cian, Passes Away—Thanksgiving.

Insure with Goetchius Phone 169 ENOCH ARDEN THE 11 Gordon County Has a Parallel For Tennyson’s Famed Stoiy, LOVE, MARRIAGE, PARTING, MARRIAGE Husband Reported Dead, and Wife lu cjnsolable For Awhile Meets Sweet heart of Former Days. We often read of strange things but do not see many of them, but one day last week a case came up before Jus tice W. D. Fain which surpasses in re. ality most of the sociological entangle ments invented by fictionists, says the Calhoun Times. The facts disclosed by the investiga tion were these: About six years ago a young man named L. N. Newton fell in love with and married a Miss Hue kins. They, lived in Bartow county and for a short time their married life was as happy as a summer dream. But after a few months the husband suddenly disappeared. After a year’s waiting, a year full of heartaches and bitterness, the young wife received the sad intelligence that her husband was dead. The cold iron of dispair entered her heart. But time is a heal er and mender of all things, and the young widow was soon seen in the ranks of the gay and dashing belles and beaux of the neighborhood. Among her many admirers was hand some young Bill Cook. He was touch ed no less by her sad beauty and her womanly loveliness and he besought her to forget the sorrows of the past and join her fate with his. She con sented and the twain, as many other twains have done on previous occa sions, were made one. The old time joys and sorrows were alike tucked away in the meshes of oblivion and again life went as happy as of yore. After &. year a baby came to cheer and enliven the home by its melodious voice and the future loom ed rich and abundant with roseate promise. But Time, the soother of sorrows and the healer of broken hearts, is also a regular nuisance in the way of bring ing unexpected and undesired trou bles. Time is pretty much a fraud anyway. Bill Cook and his family had moved to the vicinity of Red Bud in this county and a few months ago Newton, the first husband, mourned as dead, suddenly appeared on the scene and demanded his wife. This kinder rattled Bill. And he cast an appealing look at the fair face of Mary. For a movement her cheeks were blanched even as a linen collar that has just come out of the laundry. She looked upon the form of her first love. He was a dandy to look upon and she kaew it and all of a sudden, like the rushing of an Alpine torrent, the kind of Alpine torrents that dash down the side of John’s mountain and feed the waters of Snake Creek, her old love came back, and she de olared she would go with Newton whithersoever he listed. And they went. This was a sinker on Bill. He didn't like for his wife and baby to be taken away especially by a man who had tried to die and made a howling fail ure. He kinder wanted to help him die. But he came to town, and, after swearing much on the way, swore out a warrant for Newton, When the case was called Cook was represented by Cols. J. C. Harkins and W. P. Dodd, and Newton by Col. W. S. Johnson and F. A. Cantrell. After the evidence was put in the law covering such cases which declares that all second marriages occurring while the parties to the first are living and undivorced are null and void, was expounded by Col. Johnson, Judge Fain dismissed the warrant and Bill Cook rose up sorrowfully and went out and swore out a peace warrant for Newton. And they [all of them but Bill Cook] lived entirely happy forever [that is up to this date] afterwards The three year-old boy of J. A.’John son. ot Lynn Center, 111., is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy, during a se vere attack, saved his little boy’s life. He is io the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place; and they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but,selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child’s life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures cf croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle and that it gives splendid satisfaction in all cases. Sold by Curry-Arrington Co , Rome. Ga. Have you noticed those pictures at J.

Miss Stiles, of Savannah, who is attempt mg to secure, through the legislature, the last state paper issued by Jefferson Davis for preservation in the Georgia room of the Confederate museum at Rich mond, says that the, room claimed by this state is called the historical room of the musutn. In a recent interview Miss Stiles said: “Dr. Everard Dtßenne, of Savannah, bequeathed to the Georgia room a most valuable collection of historical papets and curios which his mother had begun collecting two years after the war. That patriotic woman was moved thereto by the rumor of how zealous some of the northerners were in that line; how eager ly they seized and preserved any south ern relic of the war. So she began that collection which is now invaluable to the future makers of history. “What lhe Geoigia room needs most now to add to its appearance are portraits of Confederate heroes. Some of the other rooms of the museum have their walls lined with the faces of the pa triotic sons of the states represented. But on Georgia’s walls there are only two pictures, a portrait of Captain Kell and a painting of the Armstrong, the block ade runner, accompanied by Capt. Usina. The latter is an especially beautiful paint ing. But we ought to have more than these two; we should have portraits of Governor Brown, Bishop Elliott, General Bartow and dozens of other great men of the sixties. “That museum in Richmond has been made as fireproof as a building can be; there are granolithic floors and iron stair ways and every other i equisite of the fireproof building—everything necessary to insure safety for those relics. •‘Mary Hall, of Augusta, who is one of the' most zealous of Confederates, has contributed a flag to Georgia’s collection —a welcome contribution, as it is the only flag in the room, when there should be many.” A POLICE PATROL. “Observer’* Thinks the City Should Have One By All Means. Editor Tribune:— Thursday afternoon as the streets were crowded with ladies and child ren shopping, two policemen were compelled to litterally drag a froth ing, debauched piece of humanity up Broad street. Ladies rushed in stores, or anywhere to avoid the dis gusting spectacle, and small boys fol lowed taunting and jeering at Jwhat’ they thought was a huge joke. Isn’t it a shame that such moral de pravity, such disgusting degradation, such lowly expositions, go on under eyes that are pure, and vile oaths,and immoral imprecations pour from these disordered specimens of humanity. If such scenes were of only weekly occurrence we could endure it but al most daily some hopeless debauchee. Bdekicig with filth, must be bugged and dragged by our gentlemanly pa trolmen. Lately several. negro £wo men, have been carried cursing and swearing through the streets, and Bach scenes are not onlj demoralizing to our youths but altogether unfit scenes for our wives and sisters. Po lice reform in the hands of commis ioner Denny, has been eminently suc cessful, and we understand that he has looked into the patrol wagon sub ject. By ail means hasten the day Goodman Denny when coupled with the telephone service, we can have a police patrol that will be only keep ing place with our rapid strides of prosperity.
