1 COTTON MILLS SHUT DOWN MILLOXS OF SPINDLES CEASE THEIR BUSY \VHIRL. ^ Low Prices of Manufactured Goods Causes Mill Men to Cease V Work for a Time. Spartanburg, June 30.?The great curtailment movement among the mills of the Piedmont begins to-morrow. Mills in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will close down until the morning of the 12th. Out of 3,000,000 spindles 2,750,000 have signified that they would join in the curtailment, which will include at least a month in all, during the summer. The curtailment move* ment will mean a cutting off of from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 pieces of cloth, or one-twelfth of the output. Curtailment Necessary. ? Mr. Aug. W. Smith, president of the Woodruff mills, when asked tonight about the closing down of the mills, said: "There is a loss in every pound of cloth we are putting out, and we have to curtail to cover in part this loss and create a demand for our goods. I should say the outx put of the mills will be cut down onetwelfth by the curtailing, which will be done this summer, which will amount in all to about four weeks' time." I The majority of the cotton mills of Spartanburg county will close down and remain closed until Mondav, the . nth. The shut-down will include two i Sundays and a holiday. This will not be the only shut-down this summer. A number of the mills will close again on the 25th of July for 10 days or more. The curtailment will include : three or four weeks. The closing down of the mills is on account of the great curtailment movement which is being observed all over the country. This concerted movement on-the part of the mills is * * made necessary on account of the cloth market. Cloth Price Too Low. ^John A. Law, president of Saxon mills, in speaking of the action of the mills in closing down, said: "There will be the largest curtailment among the cotton mills of Spar-/ tanburg county ever known. The j price of manufactured goods is out of proportion with the price of cotton. A great many of the mills will close down on July 1 and others on July 25. The closing down of the mills ^ will be so arranged as to work as little hardship as possible among the mill operatives. Following is a list of the mills closing down and the length of time they will be closed: Whitney, from July 1 to 11; Arkwright, from July 1 to 11; Spartan i mill, No. 1, July 2, 3 and 5; Spartan / mill, No. 2, from July 1 through the 10th; Arcadia, from July 1 to 11; ^ Saxon mills, from July 1 through July 11; Beaumont, from July 1 through July 11; Enoree Manufacturv - ing company, from July 1 through July 11; Woodruff mills will close July 3 until the 11th; Tucapau mill, July 1 -to July 12. \ Woman Sues Roosevelt. New York, June 29.?A big bundle of papers purporting to be the ;? ? complaint :n a suit for $1,000,000 > . damages against Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Bacon, American ambassador to France, Charles Graves, American minister to Sweden, and his wife, is in the county clerk's office here awaiting disposition. .The bundle was thrown into the office by Mrs. Ida Von Claussen, after the clerk's refusal to file them, be> cause of irregularities. The attempted suit is an outgrowth of the refusal of Minister Graves to present Mrs. Von Claussen at the court of the late King Oscar of Sweden in 1907. The complaint begins: "I hereby make formal demand of the supreme court of the United States to procure me an honest law* yer to plead for justice for me if the United States has laws capable to protect me; if not, then the legisla^ ture must be appealed to." So far Mrs. Von Claussen says, sne has been unable to find such a lawyer. The complaint continues. "I therefore file in the supreme * court this complaint and institute a suit for slander, malice and revenge to recover $1,000,000. "The gross insult and slander I received in Sweden, of which the world r ^ has cognizance, is laid directly to the foregoing conspirators." 3Irs. Von Claussen has figured conspicuously in the newspapers ever since her return from Sweden. She * says King Oscar gave her his photor graph and invited ber to visit him. Holmes Pleads Guilty. Washington, June 29.?Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., former associate statis-' - t.ician in the department of agricul^ ture indicted in 1905 for miscon * duct in his office in connection with the "cotton statistics leak" pleaded guilty before Justice Gould and was fined $5,000, which he paid. ENGINE PLAYS HAVOC. Crashes Into Passenger Coach Injuring Four Persons. Valdosta, Ga., June 29.?Crashing ! into a loaded coach of a passenger train of the Georgia & Florida railroad in the yards here this morning, a loose engine of the Georgia Southern & Florida railroad lifted the coach, broke it from the remainder of the train and carried it 60 feet, '" "in" it nvnr and 14 of fho nacspn IU1 Uiil^ i C VI VI U?UU X x vx vuv if MW?? gers and trainmen were injured. The loose engine was on one branch of a wye track with the passengers on the other. The Injured. Among those injured were: W. T. Statem, Valdosta, shoulder and left side badly hurt, probably internally injured; Mrs. F. R. Daniels and little daughter, badly bruised and shocked, little girl's face cut;- Mrs. F. F. Martin, Madison, Fla., side and shoulder injured; Andrew Letley, Pinetta, Fla., one shoulder and leg broken; Mr. Washington, Boston, Ga., ear cut and left side injured; Conductor Yofton, of the passenger train had his face and throat slashed; Rev. Mr. Funk, Ohio, badly bruised; W. M. Henderson, Georgia, head and one whole side injured; G. M. Boyd and Dan Thompson, both of this city, were, badly bruised; J. W., West Valdosta, was cut about the face and his face badly hurt; W. T. Lane, Valdosta, face and neck cut and bad bruises. Made Narrow Escape. J. W. West and C. W. Sinclair, were sitting together on the side of the coach where t'he engine struck. TV.a,, nrara thrATl-n aprnec tha nnv nnH through windows to the ground. The coach turned over about them but they had fallen into an excavation and thus escaped death. All the ambulances here were rushed to the scene and the injured given attention. Despite the fact that passengers were tossed about in the tumbling coach none will die. Shot Girl Three Times. Springfield, July 1.?Miss Polly Williams, living with her mother on the place of L. B. Fulmer, near here, was dangerously and perhaps seriously shot last night at her home by Jerome Bonnett, a white tenant, living some miles above here, in Aiken county. Miss Williams is here now on her way to the Columbia hospital, where an operation will be performed. From a statement made^ by the mother of the unfortunate girl, it appears that Jerome Bonnett, Lute Padget and an unknown man came to the Williams' home last night in a drunken state. Bonnett asked the young Williams woman if she loved him, and she answered no, he pulled his pistol, and remarked that he would make her say she loved him whether she did or not, began shooting, three balls passing through her stomach. There is very little hopes of her recovery. Bonnett has made his escape. Padget is here and claims he had no part in carrying Bonnett to the Williams home. Five Arrests Made. Pensacola, Fla., July 1.?Resulting from the ambuscade and serious wounding of J. H. Givens, wealthy banker and mill man, and others of Laurel Hill, Fla., five prominent citizens of Falco, Ala., the scene of the trouble, were arrested to-day and will be tried for attempting to assassinate Givens and his companions, none of whom will die. Among those arrested was Olin Adair, who barricaded himself in a store at Falco and, it is alleged, gave the signal which caused confederates to fire upon a posse of citizens from a neighboring farm house, wounding three of the posse. Others arrested were J. A. Davis, owner of the store in which Adair took refuge, and his three sons, all of whom were released under bond. Davis admits having fired upon the posse, because he feared they would do violence to Adair, his book-keeper, whom bloodhounds are said to have trailed to the store from the scene of the ambuscade. Later reports are that the defendants were rearrested to-night. Adair, who refused to surrender to the citizens' posse, readily gave himself into custody when the sheriff arrived. Town Almost Wiped Out. Genoa, the county seat of Douglass county, t'welvev miles south of Carson City, was almost destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon. The loss is estimated at over $100,000. The court house, Masonic hall and other brick structures were prey to the flames. A special train from this city is carrying fire fighting apparatus. The flames now threaten the surrounding farms. Genoa is the oldest town in Nevada, and was the first white settlement this side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. YOUTHFUL BURGLARS CAUGHT. 1 Arrested Leaving 'Apartment House ( with Burglars' Tools. Washington, June 30.?Two well dressed young men, 17 and 18 years i old, were caught before dawn to-day I leaving one of the prominent apart- 1 ment houses in this city which they v admitted they entered for purposes e of robbery. They were Eley B. Run- 3 | yon, wno says ne is uie sou oi .wis. Emily E. C. Runyon, a physician of 13 Richmond, Va., and Julian D. Wichard, son of a former newspaper pub- * lisher in North Carolina. 11 Each of the youthful burglars was t armed with a revolver and they had a complete burglar's kit including a a dark lantern. The flashing of the s dark lantern was seen by a policeman r who made the arrests. A recent rob- h bery of the home of Edward A. a Moseley, secretary of the interstate * commerce commission, has been ' t. traced to the boys. When captured this morning, the s boys had entered the office of a physician and finding nothing they want- * ed, departed to discover a more lu- ' crative field for their efforts when the policeman saw their lantern. J The boys say they came to this city Tuesday night and registered at a hotel, went out shortly after mid- ? night to operate in a fashionable continn r\f fhc /?itv Riinvnn hnflstfl of his exploits in various cities of the west saying he had been trained as a burglar by an adept who is nowserving time. Wichard claims that t he recently met Runyon in Atlanta, j where he has relatives and traveled j( with him without knowing his occu- t pation until the two came to this t city. d The boys will be given a hearing j in court to-morrow. t About Young Runyon. c Richmond, Va., June 30.?Young Runyon, under arrest in Washington for alleged burglary, is presumably t the son of Mrs. Emily C. Runyon, a n practicing physician of good stand- a ing in this city. He got into trouble b on a somewhat similar charge in Sa- e vannah, Ga., not long ago and it is ( understood that the day his mother * obtained an order from Gov. Brown for his transfer from a Georgia re- c formatory farm, to which he had 1( been committed, to one in Maryland, t he made his escape and has since e been in Atlanta. He is regarded here s as decidedly abnormal in mental and moral development and his mother * has much sympathy in Richmond be- s cause of his waywardness. Young s Wichard, who was arrested with him, is unknown here, but is supposed to * be the son of a well-known North a Carolina newspaper publisher. t Wichard's Family Shocked. 11 s Atlanta, Ga., June 30.?Julian D. Wichard, the young man arrested early to-day at Washington on the charge of burglary, is the son of Julian R. Wichard, a printer who is well known and highly respected in t this city. When notified of the young man's arrest members of the family ^ expressed themselves as greatly ^ shocked and stated that they would . at once investigate the matter. ^ Wichard, the young man under arrest, is well known in Atlanta. t A Frightful Wreck j of train, automobile or buggy may cause cuts, bruises, abrasions, sprains or wounds that demand Bucklen's 1 Arnica Salve?earth's greatest heal- t er.

Mrs. Russell Sage a few days ago c gave $15,000 to the National Associa- E tion of the Audubon society for its r work in the South. A short time pre- j vious to that she gave $500 to the as- a sociation. The $15,000 is to be used ( in educational work in Georgia. Flor- ^ ida, Alabama, North Carolina and j Smith Carolina, alone the eeneral Q lines of work of the association, r whose object is to protect wild birds and animals. The ?500 was given to i start a "special protective fund," t the association is raising in an ef- s fort to protect the robin from ex- t termination in this country. The t number of birds of this species is de- t creasing rapidly. Recent reports re- ( ceived from Maine, Ohio and Michi- s gan show that the number or robins is t much smaller this year than former- a ly. This is due to the fact that in the f South robins are regarded as game c birds, and every yinter. when they r go South, they are killed off in large t numbers. The association hopes to t obtain the enactment of laws in the t South which will protect the birds. i ne premium usi ior ine AiKen county fair has been prepared, and c more than $1,000 will be given away c in prizes. The various committees c have been appointed to look after the 1 different phases of the show, and judging from the interest now being i taken in the coming show, it will be ( an Immense success. f ' ' . REFUSED CENSUS INFORMATION. Commissioner Bacot Hears an Interesting and Unusual Case. There was an interesting and unusia'1 ease before U. S. Commissioner 3acot this morning. G. O. Cox and lis wife Celia B. Cox, were charged nth not giving information to the ensus enumerators. The charge gainst Celia B. Cox was dismissed, rhile that of G. O. Cox will be continled for further evidence. Cox is a mulatto whose father in he days of reconstruction married a tegro woman and left a large propery to his mulatto children. He ob?cts to being classed with the negroes nd has on several occasions made trenuous objections to the jim crow egulations in force in the opera louse and other places. His wife is n octoroon from Augusta. They atend the Catholic church here and reuse to mingle with the negroes. Cox las recently built one of the handomest houses in Florence. When the census enumerator sent o the colored people, a very polite roman, Catherine Godbolt, called on iim, she was refused audience and eported it to the commissioner and he issue of the warrant by Marshal lowell followed. Cox claims to have ;iven the information to W. H. Bartett, who was appointed to enumerate he white people.?Florence Times. Woman Kills Self and Babe. New York, June 30.?Haunted by he intolerable fear that she was gong insane, Mrs. Jeanne Hodgson Catett gave cyanide of potassium to her wo-months-old daughter, Jeanne, his afternoon and swallowed a [raught of the same poison herself. + lfiT' AO/1 in flin coma TX7 V? on jyji.il iaj u^au IU bug o?iuu wvu ?* uvu he husband, a supervising chemist imployed by the Western Electric oinpanv, came home to-night. Beside the young mother lay a ong letter to her husband. "Don't hink me cruel to the utile life I've aade," she wrote, "but rather that i ,m saving her so much pain?for iodily pain is nothing to this, that is ither insanity, or nervousness?only Jod knows. She would surely inLerit it. "Don't mourn for me. I wish 1 ould go on with just you and our ove. My very life is one continuous hought of thankfulness for it, but ay mind must be relieved. The tenion is frightful." Evidently there was a moment phen the young mother yearned to pare her daughter, for farther down he wrote: "If I leave our baby tell her I :issed her with lots of love, and I m so sorry even to have been cross o her. "Leave my locket on me, but wear ay wedding ring. I have loved it o and caressed and kissed it so as he outward sign of the happiest monents of my life. "Put our baby in the very same ilace with me and try to think always of my love for you?not this lorrible nervousness." Pinned to the outside of the closed >erroom door was a note to her husband reading: "George, don't come n. Let some one else?one of the loys." Mrs. Catlett, who was born in Vir;inia twenty-four years ago, and her lusband, who is from South Caroina, met three years ago at Falls's hurch, Va. They fell in love at first 909. Since the birth of her daugher, Mrs. Catlett has been very nerrous, and her morbidness was leightened by the fact that her litle girl, named for her, cried much if the time. Battle in Florida.

Armed with knives and keeping their word to meet at sunrise in the woods near MacFarlane park, in the western part of Tampa, Fla., Tuesday morning, Marco Adalo and another Cuban, whose identity has not yet been established, fought until both had fallen from loss of blood, Adalo dying after proceeding a short distance from where the bloody duel took place. The unknown man was able to make his way to a nearby street, where all trace of him was lost. Two men were seen going into the woods a short distance from the park at an early hour, both gesticulating. Their demeanor towards each other was such as to arouse suspicion among the cigar workers who saw them and at noon hour a search was made with the result the evidence of a bloody struggle was seen, and later the body of Adalo. A stay of sentence of the case of Will Bethune was issued at Sumter. Bethune was convicted of murder in Clarendon county and was sentenced to be hanged on July 1. Execution is stopped till the appeal can be perfected. rsnirPi "I would like to guide suffering women to a sure H cure for female troubles/' I writes Mrs. R. E. Mercer, of Frozen Camp, W. Va.
