[uniiuiiiiiii ? An E answei breedii sold n 2 rundec I KENTl i - "lllllllllllllHI PROPOSED MILL* MERGER. Stockholders Vote to Unite With Atlantic Mills Corporation it Formed. (\xitrol 300,OOO Spindles. McColl, Sept. 15. ? Representing in person or by proxy a maojrlty of the $1,000,000 stock of the corporation, a special meeting of the stockholders of the Marlboro cotton mills was held here yesterday, the obejct of the meeting being iinlttrmino Kothor n r lint tllP Marlboro milis shall unite with the the propose'' Atlantic Mills corporation. The meeting lasted for several hours but when the vote on the matter was finally taken it showed something like a two-thirds majority in favor of the merger. This action on the part of the stockholders of the Marlboro cotton mills is the Result of previous conferences held in Richmond, Va., and Payetteville, N. C., by prominent ofifcials and managers of the principal cotton yarn mills in the eastern Carolinas and Virginia at which conferences it was proposed to merge the mills of these sections into a corporation representy ing 300,000 spindles and $10,000,000 capital stock. The vote to-day of the Marlboro mills, signifying their willingness to enter the merger, however, does not assure tlu proposed corporation, for whilf some of the mills proposed have already voted to enter there are ?than the v,that have not yet decidd thai there w"\ >e n?t be effected dnieasJ J: many as 2,00,000 spindlet can be contr&ited. In addition to t'ne Marlboro mills at McColl, the following ifc-ti partial list of the mills that are c?PfiAdering the proposition: The Dillor mill, two of the Statesville mills one at Taylorsville, two at Fayetteville, the Smithfield mills, th< Selina mills and mills at Goldsboro Kinston and other towns in eastern North Cardlina and Virginia. The proposed Atlanitc Mill corporation is in many respect similar to the mergers formed in the early part of the year by the Parker and 9mythe interests in the Carolinas. Should mills amounting to as many as 200,000 spindles vote to enter the proposed merger, a meet ing or the officials and managers of these mills will be called for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization. This organization meeting will in all probability be held within the next ten days.

Modern life is one rush bustle and hustle, with little thought for tne niceties of the oc casion, yet, a stranger does nol rush into an office or private resi dence and shout out "Hello, hello!' and wind up this by angrily ex claiming, "Well, why don't yoi answer?"
