THE MEETING OF .'.'.ILL PRESIDENTS THIS WEEK. An organization of unusual itn portance waB effected this week in Greenville. It is to be known as the Cotton Manufacturers' Association of South Carolina, and its membership is composed ? c in a i . s f -i oi iniu presmenis, 01 wnorn mere were seventy three present hi the meeting, representing, it is s'ated, two thirds o! the spindles now running in the state. It was certainly a strikingly representative gathering oi South Carolina's captains of industry." The association, by resolutionadopted, took advanced ground on more than one matter ol vital importance to this commonwealth, and especially to the cotton mill interests. Among the resolutions passed, and without opposition, are the following: Resolved, That it is the sense ' of tins conference that the running time of the cotton mills in 1 South Ca*o ina he voluntarily i reduced hy the mill managers on July 1. 1906, to sixty four hours per week The mill managers I. itvogiiize thai f <r many reasons i' is best b tli tor the employees ' and the corporation, ?h i this ! ieduction to sixty hours should ] he gradual aud extended over a i pjriod of years. Resolved,that ;t ;s thejudgment , >' iliin meeting tl at there should ! he no change in *de in the wages : ' I | I i he employees at Kits tune consequent upon the change o< .10 irs so j ass *d.

I 'ho sanri" amount of waves dnr* ' ing the shorter tune that thoy I have previously earned. I R solved, That this conference t urg? upon a'l the cotton rn?nu- j faoturers in South Carolina to . .' tinue o carefully obs. rve the : a?e law liinilng the emp!o,-:w .1 m t of children to those of " lw dve years r?t ajre and r ider, w and forbidding tire employ* |j nient, except under lawlul con. d'tioos, of children under twelve yi-ars of age. Resolved that the conference ' of mill manufacturers earnestly s approve the passage of the com- tl misery school law in Sou'h yun iitia o applx to al' children mder twelve years of age, and dso recommend 'he enictmeu' . >1 a law requiring the reaistra- i ion of all births in South Caro- K ina, and also * law requiring ^ i marriage certificate h? f< re any eremony can be performed in k< South Carolina. Resolved, That 'lie chairman >t this conference appoint, a J{ committee ol seven, who shall deei prepare a circular letter to be tanc 5rint"d an I placed on the desk e >f each Senator anil member of i un^ he II ?nse ol Representatives of . . :he South Carolina Legislature ' u< lruing upon them the enact- c "" nent of tlie-e laws. vey The action of the association Kar n relation to the hours of labor J can n mills, reducing them gradual-1 sect y from sixty six to sixty per corn week, is as significant as if was to a unexpected. For the past few kqu rears an unsuccessful effort has in been mad^ at every session of tain the legislature to pass a b ll re- exp iueing the working time in mills and to ten hours a dav. And the refi decision of the mills to volun inji tarilv do what the legislature has 1 thus far refu-ed to make them to r do. mav mean that thev have to concluded it to be the part of sub wisdom to forestall any possible liu^ future legislation affecting the trie manufacturing interests ol the s'ri state. liat ? liqi Husband Killed and Wife Mortally Wounded by One \ of Guests. , I New York, .June 6.?In the midst of the gaiety attending a birthdav party hi South Brook lyn early to <lav one of tlie guestH '1 killed another and suboequently the rIio? and fatally wounded the Moi lalter's wile.
