IN PKICK, OH Iho Cotton Mills All Over (lio South Threaten Curtail the Output Of' (rOtMis. There i5 ft great dcul of interest . in the action of the American CotIon Manufacturers' Association regarding curtailment of production, following the proposition formulated at the board of governors' meeting in Charlotte last week, says the Columbia llecord. T his was about the ouly toj ie of importance seriously considered at this conference. The meeting was held at the office of the association. President Lewis ( YV. Parker of (jreeiivllle was in the * chair. There were present about J twenty-two manufacturers, including (, the officers of the association, the ' members of the board of governors, and a few special guests, recruited x mainly from former officials of the organization. The session was ultogether harmonious. Af'for Pitlikl/lnriiur 1 )\/? e 1 !1 t n u nf 1 expected to return them to the of- ' fleers of the association in order that , they may be turned over to the com- ( mittee. The agreement is as follows: "We, the undersigned, agree to & curtail operation of our mills one day or more each week until goods advance to a parity with the price of cotton. "This agreement Is conditional upon signatures by manufacturers rep- , resenting 60 ix?r cent of the spin- , dies of the association nnd will become operative upon statement by the committee to this effect." Some idea of the importance of the American Cotton Manufacturers' ( association and what a general curtailment by its members will result In may be gained by the statement that it represents about 20,000,000 spindles. i Tells Thrilling Story.

'It s time we should be put on record is opposing this nefarious practice. ' laid Miss Helm, alter calling the loard's attention to the manner iu vhich the tarfilc is carried on. "It s time we should ask for some legislation prohibiting a practice so de~ itructive to the home ties, so inmical to society.

This is a matter which canlot be lightly passed over.

Prof. Hishop said, among other things, "Our greatest light should be against the slave block of today. The block on which both white and colored girls are sold.
