the crew clung to the over-turned

gale about 6:.?.0 Monday evening
and fit midnight she began a desperate
iNiltle for life.
AN day Tuesday she fought valiantly
against the storm hut towards
evening it became apparent that the
pumps were unequal to the task of

by the buffeting of the waves.
About nine p. m. the captain and

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.

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

"The government has laws to prooot

iccomplished through a light waged

Prof. Hishop said, among other
