COTTON MILLS TO CLOSE FIVE WEEKS SOUTH CAROLIN XNUFACTUR ERS DECIDE TO CURTAIL. Shut Down is Not Caused by the High Price of Raw Cotton, According to Officials. Spartanburg, Jan. 17.-Curtailment for five weeks between April and Sep tember, or earlier if the manageMent of any mill sees fit, was decided on at a meeting of the South Carolina Manufacturers' association in this city today. ' The curtailment is in coopera tion with the mills of New England. There were present 76 mill men, rep resenting nearly every mill in the State. This curtailment, as previous ones, is due to the poor condition of the market for the finished goods of the mills. The high price of cotton has noth ing to do with the closing down of the "mills as the officials do not object to pay 15 cents for the material if they 'can get fair prices for their products. The following is the' conditioned statement as given out by the presi dent, E. A. Smythe, after the meeting had adjourned: "A very largely attended meeting of the cotton manufacturers of South Carolina was held today in Spartan burg, 4,000,000 spindles being repre semted. President Ellison A. Smythe presided. The resolution was adopted pledging the membership of the asso ciation to a curtailment of five weeks between April and September condi tioned on similar action being taken by New England and other Southern '-1s which cooperation was assured. r sooner, if the individual mill found it practicable. The only other busi ness transacted was the consideration of reports of various comnmittees on -different subjects. The association ad journed after a very harmonious ses sion." Immediately after the meeting in the chamber of commerce rooms, the visi tors were entertained at luncheon at the Spartan City club. WOULD SEE CENSUS RETURNS. Representat're Lever Introduces Reso. lution in House. Washington, Jan. 17.-Representa tive Lever today introduced a joint res olution, the purpose of which is to per 'mit an inspection of the original re turns of the census enumerators as ~such returns relate to the population. 'This resolution," said Mr. Lever, "comes as the result of numerous com plaints from towns an~d cities as to their population, as shown by the cen sus report. This is particularly true of Sumter, Greenville, Orangeburg and other places in our State, and -is no tably true of Augusta, Ga. Of course, thie census figures can not be changed, but the principle which permits the di rector of the census to conceal from The public the enramerator's return, a ~-matter of such wide public interest, is wrong and calculated to be wrongfully "These returns shiould be available for public inspections and there is nc reason which appeals to me for re garding them as secret. The director of the census goes to the extent of re fusing to allow a member of congress permission to see these returns, and only such a resolution as I am intro ducing, and hope to pass, will give the ublic the light to wihich it is entitled.'

LEE IE HO'NORED IN NEWMERRY (Continued from page two). make a gentleman. The light that never was on sea or land to the dream ers and the poets of other days, is set before us in the life of Lee, in growinI radiance and lustre." Theodore Roose velt says, "A civilization that has pro duced a Lee need never despair. No power could buy this man, or tempt him from his integrity." Lee said, "My name is everything that is left me, and that is not for sale." He is the flower of the chivalry of the sixties, a chivalry that esteems a stainless honor as a priceless gem, a chivalry that has come down to South ern youth to teach that life itself is worthless where honor is at stake, that the most exalted privilege of1a man is the defence of woman, and of family, and of native land. Lee's magnificent personality made for morals as well as martia, force. Never such an army. Those half starv ed and bare foot men who wore the grey loved their chief with a passion that never waned. After Gettysburg the army was retreating through Pennsylvania, and exhaustead by the burdens which he bore, Gen. Lee lay down beside the road to sleep. There he was discovered sleeping in the cool and grateful shade. But the army that passed tiptoed light stepped, and passed the word on back the line to not disturb their tired chief. Where is such solicitude in history-4ough men tamed by love to whisperr, whilst their great commander sleeps. On the battlefield at Gettys'burg a sorely wounded Union soldier lay bleeding. As Lee rode past him the s,cornful foeman, wounded though he was, tauntingly called after Gen. Lee and said: "Huraih for the Union." The man survived to tell the incident. He says Lee dismounted,'tenderly ap proached the soldier who had taunted him, and with a sad expression, said: "My son, I hope you will soon be well." The man said:- "If I live a thousand years I will ndt forget the expression on his face. There he was defeated, retiring from a field that had cost h.im and cost his cause the last rema.ining hope, and yet he stopped to say these words to a foeman wiho had taunted him. When qie left I cried myself to sleep upon the bloody ground." ISurely 'this mwn was a "Sidney as he foug'ht, And as he fell, and as he lived and loved, Sublijmely mild,'a spirit without a spot." Only 'he did not fall until after he had served the South as citizen and educator, on October 12, 1870. To the end no malediction escaped his lips no rancorous and spiteful word left his 'tongue. He lived, he fought, lhe loved, 'be led, he 'suffered, he died-a gentleman. The South can nevier forget this man! Never, 'as lon'g as there is a spark of aidmiration left with which to bail a gallant soul! Never as long as impartial 'history records the dar ing o~f the true and the virtues of the brave! Nev'eir, as -long as you and the Unted Daughters of the Confederacy have one green leaf or summer's rose with which to deck the graves of the martyrs of a lost but nobie cause! I can not refrain from quoting in conclusion the eulogy of the late Ben Hill upon the death of Lee. "He was a foe without bate, a friend without treachery, a soldier without cruelty, a votor without oppression, a victim without murmuring. He -was a public [officer without vice, a private citizen without wrong, a neighbor without re proach. a Christian -without hypocrisy, a man without guile! He was Caesar witout his ambition, Frederick with Iout his tyranny, Napoleon without his selfihness, Washington without his Ireward. He was as obedient to au thority as a servant, as royal in au thority as a king. He was gentle as a woman i-n his life, as pure as a virgin in his thought. He was as submissive to law es Socra.tes, and as grand in attle as Achilles." Priceless is the herituge of Lee for the Southern youth of every age! Let the South rise up ini worthy emula.tion of his spirit and,his deeds! Let the young men and women of our times Itake their place like heroes upon the battle line of Duty, defending the hon or and the glory and the prestige of a reunited country, march forward as one unbroken Southern phalanx to fight the foes of freedom, in the spirit of the immortal Lee. in the name of 1God and Home and Native Land!

Columbia, Jan. 17.-The executive committee of the State Farmers' Un ion favors the increase of the number of beneficiary scholarships at Clemson college. A bill to that effect will soon be introduced by Representative Mims, of Dorchester. The following resolu tion was adopted: "We, the executive committee of the South Carolina State Farmers' union, being empowered t-o assume the du ties and responsibilities of the legisla tive committee of said union, are hear tily in favor of the now existing law regulating the fertilizer privilege tag tax, as well as' the present method of using the money accruing from said tax, and we are opposed to the diver sion of any part of said funds to any other purpose." The following action in reference to the weighing of cotton seed was tak en: "Since .cotton seed has aittained such a large commercial value, and so many people are interested in the sale of' same, we favor the enactment of a law to provide for a public cotton seed weigher, when petition is made for_ same according to rules prescribed by law." I The committee met in the office of the State secretary today at 9.30 a. m. The meeting was called to order by President A. J. A. Perritt, A. D.

Mr. Bryan replied: "It all depends upon congress. At! this tinr 3 it is im possible to say what the ssues will be and who will likely be the poss.ibilities for the nomination. I think the entire matter rests with the next congress, and its actions and leg islation will largely determine both the issues will be and who will likely in*g such to be 'the case there is noth-' Ing more for me to say at this tinve, as we will all ha.ve to await the de librat.ions of congress."
