Charlotte, N. C., June 9.—Three thousand idle men, women and chil dren, who had been employed in the Clifton mills, and several thomau! other persons, also without employ ment, are gathered around the wreck ed three Clifton mills at this place. Several hundred people wait for the company’s stores to open. Many are already without the necessities of life. They sound a note of distress that will be general today. Superintendents and overseers em ployed a small percentage if the ip eratives 'o ass'st in building fool bridges and Icing other work neoes saty to precede the reconstruction of the mill property. Mill No 1 is the least injured of the three plants. It will be months before it will be in operation. Mill No. 2 with its skeleton frame, is not much more valuable than the twisted ma chinery in the plant. Several bodies were recovered to day. Mrs. Maggie Robes was found alive on an island three miles below hero. With her were two children, dead. All had been swept down on the drilt wood. One little boy who was carried away from mill No. 2 floated to safety twelve miles down the river, over the dams at Pacolet, and was drowned. Reports today increase the death list for mill No. 2 and 60 people are said to he missing. Their bodies, if re covered, are apt to be found many miles below here The action of the company's officers here and at the other mills is admir able. Without time for preparation they are themselves facing the most ser ious conditions that ever confronted the managers of any industrial enter prises, but they are showing cheerful fronts and endeavoring to maintain order among the operatives. Relief must come direct and must furnish bread and meat to employes of the three Clifton mills. Estimates made today piacethe total loss at Clifton and Pacolet at $2,500,000 or $3,000,000, The loss to the county and to private property owners will prob ably increase the amount to an extra $1,000,000.

They came expecting to be pleased and were delighted. They went away last night impressed with the conviction that the governor made no mistake when he gave Augusta the encampment ef the First and Third regiments. As told, Col. R. Ush.ir Thomason, commander of the Thir i regiment, remained in the city, anu the Firet regiment officers arrived on the early morning train from Savannah. The party was composed as follows: Col. G.

The colored peojtle are not in it now because the price of watermelons con tinues high and it looks like it will remain so for some time.

V A South Carolina Paper Talks of the Senator’s Futura, The Columbia Record, one of the leading papers of South Carolina, dis cussing the money troubles of ex- Senator McLaurin, has Ihe following, which will be of interest to our read ers “Not only will be recover his finan cial standing back, but, in our opin ion, he is not dead politically, as some seem to think. | "At present, in this state, Mr. Mc- Laurin’s political influence is not i great. He has made mistakes, but he is undoubtedly a representative of the progressive politics oi' the day. He and those who agreed with him i were tauntingly referred to as '•Com mercial Democrats.” Not only was that a taunt, but it was an insult to a large class of honest-minded eiti zens in that it was a broad Insinua tion that they were in the movement for what could lie made out of in Ihe way of Federal offices. But the truth is that a great majority of them were men who believed that it was foolish to be forever following issues which had ceased to be matters of practical politics; they believe in throwing off Hie shackles of dead is sues and striving with the rest of the country to advance the material wel fare of it, and more especially of this state. “That this movement was a failure does not mean that the itleas repre sented l>v it are dead, for they meant, and mean, material progress; and while the exigencies of politics may have stified the movement for awhile, it will not remain down long. “We do not believe that Senator McLaurin will ever again he the leader that he aspired to be the early part of last year, but we believe that the principles he contended will, even tually, be the ascendant, and when that time comes hewill not lie an un important factor in it.” Two New Lawyers.

PRICE FIVE CENTS. STRUCK BY BIG SPOUT —♦— Passengers on Street Car In Brooklyn Have Close Cal!. New York, June 9.—Rushing in I font the sea, a waterspout, traveling at great speed, struck n train of the Brooklyn elevated road, bound city ward front Roekaway beach. The motorman saw the spout as the train reached a trestle over the broad channel of Jamaica bay. Ho threw on full power in an effort to get past, hut the Hood water struck between tlic third and fourth cars. The platforms were crowded with persons unable to gel inside. These were almost swept into the hay lint managed to hold last to the railings. The flood rushed down the isles and caused a wild scramble. Hun dreds of pleasure seekers were drenched to the skin. No one was seriously injured, however, and, al lhough tons of water struck the cars, they did not leave the rails, CROP REPORT. Tills has been an unusually hack ward season for ottr two staple crops. Diie long, continued wet weather de layed planting, and hi consequence caused muc h despondency among some of our farmers. But Nature as a general rule tilings iu a compensa tion somewhere and somehow. Thu backward seasons will puobabiy lie followed by such conditions that dur ing the next two or three months, by Intelligent, well directed la her, assist ed by impioved modern machinery, all disadvantages may he, overcome and Georgia retain her high rank as a com and cotton state. Tint present conditions are about as follows: In the counties of north Georgia cot ton planting is well advanced, and in some of them about completed; in sonic of the more southern counties of the northern bolt the cotton is coming up and doing fairly well, al though In some places the stands arn poor owing to continuous rains and cool weather. In some places the early corn lias poor stands, in others U Is doing fairly well. In Middle Georgia there are in many places complaints that cotton Is lining retarded by tain and cool nights and want of sunshine, which is true also of corn to some extent. At the same time good stands of both arc reported In many places. Southern Georgia rciorts in sonin counties cotton and corn both doing well, others report cotton greatly re tarded and much of it replanted. Corn Is generally repoiited in good condition, though In some localities much damaged by bud and drill worms. In both Middle and Southern Georgia good reports are made con cerning sugar cane. Invoking overt the general field, oats are doing fairly well, which is for the most part true ot wheat. Both of these crops, how ever, are in soma sections suffering from rust.. Tho price of cotton in New York on the 12th of May was 11*4 cents. The November and December cotton sold at 9 cents a pound, but now that, it is out of the fanners’ hands, the pries has gone up If farmers Should now have an opportunity to dispose of thu corning crop for future delivery at 9V4 cents, it would probably pay them to soil at that juice; for, although t.ha season is backward, there may yet be a good crop, and, If a very largo one, prices may go down. The Middle and South Georgia su gar cane is for the most part doing well Fruits. In North Georgia peaches are report ed as scarce; in Middle Georgia from a slight cj-oy to 50 per cent, while apples are stated to he plentiful in both sections Strawberries are of superior size and flavor and our homo, markets ant full of them at 10 a quart, while many truck farms are sending thousands o! crates to the north and west As they are exhausted, dewberries, blackberries and raspberries will cotno in. Georgia, alieady renowned for peaches and melons, Is coming to tho .rent among the great berry states. The fact is, all kinds of trucking do well in Georgia and no one need fear any danger of over production. Docs Trucking Pay In Georgia? Those Who have gone about this business iu an Intelligent manner say that It does. Of course we do not mean to say that every farmer should give all his attention to trucking, because some have grown wealthy by so doing, Geor gia is admirably adapted to be just what she has long been — a great corn and cotton state, ami is rapidly be coming a great grass and hay State and though in soma places truck farming is the best busi ness tlvat a man can on eg ago in, wa would not be understood as advising any neglect of our two staple crops.
