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.

Money to Protect Birds.
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.

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.

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

"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

reading: "George, don't come

Mrs. Catlett has been very nerrous,
and her morbidness was
leightened by the fact that her litle
girl, named for her, cried much

KILLED IN DUEL.
! Two Cubans Meet in Woods and
End Differences. .
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.
