tinues to And much that is Interesting
and Instructive. As each day goea by,
the eastern mill owners appreciate the
conditions to the south all the better
and there Is perfect freedom among
them in admitting the business-like
appearance ot the mills In the' south

most dbeerved and commented upon by
them Is the superior condition of the

will continue to be of native growth
for some time to Come. The committee
Bpent the morning much to Its delight
In Columbia. The mill men were very
quick to appreciate the wonderful fa
cilities and natural extvantagee of Co
lumbia. Columbia has of recent yeare
made rapid Industrial progress and
with her canal, with a developed horse
power of 18,600; her many railroads;
phosphate amt cotton mills, with her
admirable climate and natural advant
ages, naturally has every reason to
expect a material increase In the al-

“Wo have seen many mills to the
south, a number of which have struck
us very favondbly. Of course we find
quite a difference In the milts, just as
would he seen In any manufoctring
district north or south."
'Mr. Motley expressed himself es very
much pleased with the appearance and
conditions of the labored* to the south
ern mills."
The party was Joined at Columbia,

spindles and 4.K8 looms In the twelve
mills. President Dyer of the street rail
way cont|>any, after the Inspection of
the mills, which were taken as models,
took the party on eleetrlo cars to
this prosperous city. After a pleasant
ride the party was taken to the Com
mercial Club, where a reception was
held.
Among the speeches made was one
hy Mr. D. A. Tompkins, who, after s
few fellcltlous remarks went on to say
that, after the mill owners had care
fully looked over the field, the mill*
of the North and East could not help
coming South, but If they were coming
he would rather tor them to leave
their tabor and take that to he found
here. If the mill men came to the

wanted them to he successful, for
their success meant more success for
the South
Mr. Lovering, who Is president of
the Arkwright Club of Boston, and
who Is on* of the largest New England
mill men, said the gentlemen of the
party h*d come South with the simple
view of looking Into the Industrial con

He wss eminently satisfied with the
conditions nnd the future.
City Editor Bayne ot toe Augusta

The party was taksn to the Bon Air,

elegsnt dinner was served.
On the trip Senator Tillman, who has
been quit* a figure In South "Carolina
matters, was seen, and he said to the
(Madison. April 8.—(Speclsl.)—'The
report 4n today's Telegraph touching
the circumstances that led to the ar-
rost of Mr. Orth Stein of Atlanta yes
terday Is not exactly correct. The re
port In the Constitution was also
slightly errbneous, while that In the
Atlanta Journal of yesterday after
noon Is wholly misleading.
The facts are three: In last week's
Looking Glass, "a small local sheet,"
to quote front Mrs. Ellen Dortch,
whose aim in life seems to be to (Ind
out and publish unpleasant things
about people," appeared an article
dated Madison, Ga., and headed, "from
our regular correspondent," reflecting
on a very estimable lady of this city,
Mrs. J. L. Stokes. Dr. J. L. Stokes
was naturally Incensed at this out
rage. At Ihe time of the publication ot
the article he was on the eve ot de
parture for Anderson, S. C., on a mat
ter of business ivhich could not be de
ferred. On his return to MadUon he
made It convenient to paw through
Atlanta, -where he stopped, and, In
company with Dr. Foster, a dentist of
that city, called on Mr. Stem. Dr.
Stokes' sole purpose in seeking Mr.
Stein was to ascertain tho name of
"our regular correspondent" in Mad!
son. Mr. Stein, on the pretense ot
seeing the reporter who had handed
In the article, asked the two gentle
men to return at 2 p. m. They dkl so
anil found the edit* r and two police
men In the the sanctum sanctorum.
Dr. Stokes assured Mr. Stein that he
had no desire to hurt him, and again
requested the name of the correapon-
dent. The requrot was refused (hy Mr.
Stein, whereupon Dr. Stokes and h!»
friend left, the former Immediately
taking Ihe train for Madison.
Neither Dr. Stokes nor DJ. Foster
waa armed, nor was Dr. Stokes thirsty
for blood or In any -way rampant. He
almply wished to give Mr. Stein an
opportunity to disclose or refuse to
disclose the name of his correspondent
In this place. As above slated, Mr.
Stein refused to give the name.

honorable, highly respected and promi

'Mr. Stein need have no fear of
'blood spilling" when he comes to
Madison for trial; he need not (bring
the huge guns he Is said to keep con
stantly In his writing desk, li might
be well for him. however, to have hi*
“regular correspondent" begin at once
to manufacture evidence and otherwise
aid him to establish tho truth of Ihe
slander at the trial. Otherwise Mr.

Atlanta, (April 6.—{Special.)—There
.m much rejoicing in toe office of
Editor Blackburn of the Hpriglitly lit
tle Evening Commercial today. Tho
editor and the office hoy stood upon nn
equal tooting in too common celebra
tion of the event tbnt caused the whoto
eataabllshment to bubble over with feel-
iiiSM of Joy. The ertrtwhllo war cloud
that pervaded 'the plarc and ulao hung
lowering over the sanctum of the Cbm-
merdal’8 Broad alrect contemporary,
because of the bitter contention over
the city printing contract was mortally
pLnotured by the council commfittco
tihts morning and now Ihe white bltd of
peace has a (Irat-clare opportunity to
spread her wings and soar over tha
Journal title skies again.
When toe printing committee of tho
counail met in tho mayor's office to
open too new bids for tha public print
ing tots year. Editors , Cabanlss and
Ulackburn were both on hand. It was
their first meeting since the war clouds
began to gather above them on ac
count of the light over toe printing
contract, and on that account wns
Invested with a dramatic Interest not
usually attached to a gathering of the
city fathers, even when somebody's
corns ore In too way.
Mr Cabanlss had hte attorney, Mr.
Burton Smith and Mr. Howncl. Mi
city editor, wrlkta Maa ttirilf Mr.-Black
burn's business manager, Mr. Martin,
accompanied him. Mr. Martin having
formally entered toe Commercial's bid
for the contract.
Whatever might have been looked
for aa a resuk of the meeting In view
of toe rupture between toe two gen
tlemen, neither displayed any cut ward
signs of a belligerent disposition while
they sat and faced each other during
tho proceedings of Ihe committee, nnd
when the bids were opened nnd too
oontract wan awarded to Editor Black-
burtt'a paper he at least, on his side,
felt good enough to forgive und forgot
almost anything.
Alderman Htrsoh, who was instru
mental In having the Commercial's bhd
turned down originally, which action
was the cause of toe trouble that has
been hnng.ng over toe editorial sanc
tums this week, today advocated that
paper’s htd, which was an additional
oauoe for rejoicing In toe Hunter street
sanctum. The bid entered by Manager
Cabanlss was toe same os his original
bid, though the Canstltutnlon made a
large cut In Its rate to go under the
Commercial but missed toe mark Ju-'t
6 cents.
The Commercial Is toe "baby" of At
lanta Journalism. It -hns only Just pa-"-
ed tho first year of Its existence, and
toe victory it has won In being made
toe otnriai organ of toe city after J
fight that at one time seriously threat,
enoil to end In bloodshed. Is a remark-
aible one.
