According to recent press dispatches
it is generally accepted as a fact among
Southern cotton mill men that the cot
ton mill men of Now England, who
have been most seriously affected by
tho great increase of cotton mills in
tho Sontb, aro aiding in the organize
tion of tho Southern employes. The
mill owners of tho South charge that
this sudden interest in the welfare of
their employes is really a covert attack
upon the Southern mills by attempt
to create disaffection among the opera
tives. The mill owners are opposing
tho organization, and several strikes
have developed ’as a result in ’North
Carolina mills, The movement, osten
sibly, was inaugurated by New En
land labor unions to get all tho opera
tives in Southern mills in the union.
Genoral John B. Gordon, in reply to
resolutions recently passed by a Con
federate Camp in Tennessee, takes the
position that he doesn’t propose to be
dictated to about the matter of attend
ing sessions of the Grand Army of the
Bepublic when he is invited to do so.
Tho General has a wrong idea of the
feeling of the southern people. Nobody
wishos to dictate to him in regard to
this practice. Ho is free, white and
twenty-one aud can do as ho pleases.
All the true Confederate veterans want
him to know is, that they heartily con
demn all this slobbering over tiie north
and half way surrender of southern
views.—Athens Banner.
RIGHT PLACE FOR THE MILL?.
*Au exchan gc, speaking of the
cotton mill question, sensibly says;
Thore will be room for cotton mills
in the south just as long as there re
mains a bale of cotton made in the
south for snipmeut to the east or fore
ign countries. The south is the natu
ral locatiou for cotton mills, and tho
mills of tho future will be located in
this section.”
Tho great argument the Democrats
have to withstand in this campaign is
the hard cash argnment—the monoy
contributed by tho trusts as tho price
Bopuhlicau protection and the levies
on officeholders.

Rheumatism
Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
anil distress from tortured muscles, aching
loints and excited nerves. The blood has
leen poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, aud can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. Tile whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches aud pains cease.

HnnUtns. Lclaud Stanford and Charles
Crocker, but this suggestion is not to bo
nnywiso legally or equitably operative
or binding on my legatees or to restrict
in anywise their free action In dealing
with the stock, bat is merely made for
the purpose of indicating the mode and
manner in which I should have pre
ferred to make sales of such stock If I
had lived, and in which I should prefer
that such sales be mado after my death;
but, notwithstanding this suggestion,
the- legatees of my said stock are to be
at liberty to deal with the same accord
ing to their own judgment, except as
limited by the terms, conditions and
limitations hereinbefore expressly pre
scribed iu respoct to sale or disposition
thereof during the lifo time of tho said
legatees or the survivor of them.”
The ninth section gives one-half of
tho residue of the estate to Mrs. Hunt
ington, the widow.
HAS STARTED FOR PEKING.
Stated That LI HuugChang IsEnroute
to the Chinese Cupltal.
Washington, Aug. 25.—Chinese offi
cials expressed a belief today that Li
Hung C’hqng, tho Chinese poaco envoy,
hail started for Peking or Tien Tsiu.
While there is said to be no official ad
vices to this effect, yet it is so in accord
ance with the expectation of tho Chi
nese course that the officials accept it as
a fact. If this proves to be correct, it
may bring about nu early opportunity
for possible exchanges between Earl Li
aud the commanders.
Tho Chinoso government has boon en
tirely silent since the capture of Peking,
except iu the two communications from
Li Hung Chang, and up to the present
time Minister VVu has received no word
responsive to the American answer sent
rim by Mr. Adco last Wednesday.
Three days have elapsed and there has
been ample time for Li Hung Chang to
formulate his next move. In tbo cir
cumstances it is felt that ho accepts the
American and German answers, and
such others as may have reochod him,
as negativing any present prospect of
negotiations along the lines he proposed.
The opinion is expressed that this will
prolong the uncertainties of the diplo
matic situation, during which Earl.Li
will try to mako the requirements laid
down by the United States and other
powers, whtlo tho latter will endeavor
to roach some common ground of under
standing for tho future.
