"TEN-HOUR" LAW. Sixty Hours to Constitute a Week's Work in the Cotton and Wollen Mills of the State. The "ten-hour'' law goes into zffeet Wednesday, the first day of January. At that time 'he hours of avork in cotton and wollen factories in this state will be sixty hours per ,week, or ten hours per day. Before ,the passage of this law at the 1907 session of the ge;ieral assembly, the hours had been sixty-four per week, and the association of Cotton Manu facturers had indicated their willing ness to reduce the time gradually,, reaching ten hours per day in the eourse of the next two years. But the sentiment in the general assem bly was in favor of immediate reduc tion, though in the act as finally pass ed, the cotton mills were given twelve months' .notice, the hours being re duced to sixty-two per week on the first of July and to sixty on the first of January next, so that the mills -ouid adjust their contract to suit. The law which now goes into full effect is as follows: "Section-1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of South Carolina, That ten hours a day, or sixty hours a week, shall constitute the hours, for working -for all operatives and employees in cot ton and woUen manufacturing estab lishments engaged in the manufac ,ture of yarns, cloth, hosiery and other products of merchandise, ex eept mechanics, engineers, firemen, watchmen. teamsters, yard employees and clerical force. All contracts for longer hours of work other than here in provided in said manufacturing es tablishments shall be, and the same are hereby, declared. null and void, and any person entering into or en forcing such contracts shall be deem ed guilty of a misdemeanor, in each and every insVance, and on convic tion in a court of competent juris diction shall be ,fined a sum of money not less than $25 nor more than $100' or imrisonment not exceeding thirty days;! Provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as for- I bidding or preventing any such man ufacturing company from making up. lost time, to the extent of sixty hours per annum, where' such lost time has been caused by accident or other un "Section 2. That the hours of labor shall remain as they now are until July -1, 1907, when -tiey shall be re * duced to sixty-two. On the first day of January, 1908, and from and af ter that date, the hours of labor shall niot ex-?e~d sixty hours per week.'' S(E,IETY GIRL WEDS INDIAN. The Marriage Ends a Romance Which Began Tive Years Ago. I)enver. Col., December 30.--News has been received here that Miss Cora Marie Arnold, of this city, was mar ried last Monday in Santa Fe, N. .,to Albino Chavartia, a full-blood ed Indian. The wedding ends a ro Inanee which began .five years ago durinz the moun fain and plain festi vaI. when a numnber of Inidians were Ibrought to the city. The ceremony was performed b ihe Rev. Mr. Rendfon, a Presbyterian eIcergyman, and was witnesed by the bride's sisters, Misses Lillian and ~Geneva Arnold, of Denver. Chavarria is chief of the Santa 'Clara Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos1 in New Mexico. With a large num-I ber of his tribesmen he was in camp in the city park in Denver five years ago, when Miss Arnold saw him and immediately formed an ajttaofhment fo- him. Aft:er frequent visits to the camp Miss Arnold invited the In dian to call at her home. She lived at the time in a fashionable flat with her sisters and her ~step-father,I ^'rge Wilder. The Indian's first visit to his sweetheart was the cause of a dis agreement between her and the re maining memihers of her family. Ob jection was made only to the Indian race, his character being above re proach. In April, 1903, Mr. Wilder jumped overboard from a steamer in the gulf of Mexico and was drowned. He left a will in which he disinherit ed the present Mrs. Chavarria be eause of her refusal to give up her Indian lover. The sisters of Miss Ar nold finally consented to the mar riage and one month ago they went to her to New Mexico. Chavarria, is full 'nivilized, reli gious, fairly well educated and well to-do. HRe owns a large farm near Taosc, N. M., which he cultivates himself. .5 BBST BY TEST oF TIME-Par oid. Asphalt Gravel and Asbestos Spark proof roofing.
