COTTON MILLS TO REDUCE HOURS. Conference of Mill Men Adopt Resolu tions to This Effect?Also One Re quiring Compulsory Education. A conference most important in its bearings upon the industrial progress of South Carolina was held Tuesday in Greenville at the board of trade rooms. There were present 73 mill presidents of South Carolina representing 2,836,000 spindles, or more than two-thirds of the spindles of the state. The result of the meeting was the organization of the Cotton Manufacturers' Association of South Carolina. The conference adopted resolutions of vital importance to the mill interests. One of these was that the hours of work per week be reduced from 66 to 60, the change to be made gradually and extending over several years, and the wages of operatives not to be de creased consequent upon the reduction in time. The first change in hours will bo made July 1, 1906. Another important resolution was that a committee be appointed to re quest the legislature to enact three new laws: One requiring compulsory education in South Carolina of all chil dren under 12 years of age, another for registration of all births, and a third requiring a certificate of marriage in South Carolina. The conference also went on record as endorsing the state law limiting the age of children employed in the mills to twelve years and over, and pledging strict observance of it. J. A. Brock of Anderson, was, on motion of Captain E. A. Smyth, called to the chair, and J. I. Westervelt of Greenville, was requested to act as sec retary. Captain Smyth then introduced a se ries of resolutions which were referred to a committee of resolutions consisting of Captain Smyth, as chairman; and L. W. Parker of Greenville; V. M. Mont gomery of Spartanburg, president of the Pacolet Manufacturing Co.; Thos. Barrett, Jr., of Augusta, Ga., president of the Langley Mill, the Bath Manu facturing Co., and the Clearwater Bleachery, all in South Carolina, and Z. T. Wright of Newberry, president of the Newberry Cotton Mills. The conference then adjourned for an hour, where a beautiful collation was served by the Greenville mill officials and their lady friends. At the second session of the conference held at 2.30 o'clock, the committee reported the fol lowing resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That a permanent or ganization be effected, and a committee to nominate officers for that purpose to report at a meeting to be held on June 28, the place of meeting to be named later. The following resolutions were also reported by the committee on re solutions and were adopted by the con ference and speak for themselves: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this conference that the running time of the cotton mills in South Carolina be voluntarily reduced by the mill man agers on July 1, 1906 to 64 hours per week, and on July 1, 1908, to 62 hours per week, and on July 1, 1910, to 60 hours per week. The mill managers recognize that for many reasons it is best both for the employes and for the corporations that this reduction to 60 hours should be gradual and extend over a period of years. "Resolved, That this conference urge upon all the cotton manufacturers in South Carolina to continue to carefully observe the age law limi*:ng the em ployment of children to those of 12 years of age and older, and forbidding the employment except under lawful conditions, of children under 12 years of age. "Resolved, That this conference of cotton mill manufa :turers earnestly ap prove the passage of a compulsory school law in South Carolina to apply to all children under 12 years of age, and also recommend the enactment of a law requiring the registration of all births in South Carolina, and also a law requiring marriage certificates be fore any ceremony can be performed in South Carolina. "Resolved, That the chairman of this conference appoint a committee of seven who shall prepare a circular let ter to be printed and placed on the desk of each senator and member of the house of representatives of the S^uth Carolina legislature urging upon them the enactment of these three laws. "Resolved, That it is the judgment of this meeting that there should be no change made in the wages of the em ployees at this time consequent upon the change of hours so proposed; enab ling thereby such operatives as work by the day to secure the amount of wages for the shortened days as they would have secured for the longer day; it be ing the hope of the manufacturers here assembled that piece workers will be able to secure, through increased en ergy consequent upon the shortened hours of labor, the same amount of wages during the shorter time lhat they have previously earned. A Miraculous Cure. The following statement by H. M. Adams and wife, Henrietta, Pa., will interest parents and others. "A miracu lous cure has taken place in our home. Our child had eczema 5 years and was pronounced incurable, when we read about Electric Bitters, and concluded to try it. Before the second bottle was all taken wc noteced a change for the bet ter, and after taking 7 bottles he was completly cured." It's the up-to-date blood medicine and body building tonic.

Exchange. A LOVE IDYL. The Kansas papers, discussing rural love, relates a homely idyl, such as Theocritus never sang, about a love af fair "Oklahoma Dave" Payne once had. Payne lived on a farm when a boy, and his raiment consisted of a linsey sack with holes for his head and arms. He was deeply in love with a neighbor farm girl. One evening he went over and sparked the girl while she was milking the cow. She sat on one side of the cow and he squatted on the other so he could look her in the eye while she milked. Dave felt his love for the girl growing rapidly. It affected the boy in a peculiar way. Something warm would chase itself up and down his spinal column. It was a new sensa tion, and in his inexperience he was sure it was love. Just when the sensa tion v as the greatest the girl re marked: "Davie, the calf is chewing the back out of your sock."

You have heard of washout in places,but washouts occurred in every place in this commu nity, and much damage was done to the growing crops. Some will have to plant their entire corn crop over on the little branch bottoms, which was grow ing very nicely, and promised to make a good yield. The harvest is about over, and it looks like it will be better than for years. The first planting of cotton is looking very nice, though last Sunday's rain has made the stands very bads. Gardens and melons are looking very fine. We expect to have melons by the 4th of July. Everybody seems to have cabbages for sale, but no place to market them. In the winter we had to give two and a half cents per pound for them, now we can't sell ours for one cent each, so they say. The good people of Lisbon church made a nice little sum for the benefit of the church last Friday evening. J. T. A. Ballew lost a very fine cow last week. Mr. W. P. Morris has just returned from Charlotte, N. C, where he spent several days with relatives and friends. Miss Ella Tcague has gone to Ala bama with her grandmother, Mrs. T. S. Teague, to visit Mrs. Mattie Teague Robertson. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Milam, of Cole Point, spent last Tuesday with Mr. Mi lam's mother.

There are three good weekly news papers in Edgefleld county, and every man in the county should take at least one of them. It matters not how many other papers you take, do not do with out your "home paper." It stands up for your interests and your rights fifty two weeks in every year. It sympa thizes with you in your afflictions, re joices with you in your prosperity, and its columns a,re open at all times for the advancement and uplifting of the community. The local paper advertises your busi ness, your schools, your numerous so cieties, and in short, prints the thou sand and one items in which you are in terested during the year. It is your home paper that records your birth, publishes your marriage and chronicles your death. It is with you in everything and watches over you with eager solicitude all the time. It tells when you come and go, when your house burns down, or when you build a new one; when your girl has the mumps or your boy the measles; how much the little angel weighs on arrival; warns you against slick artists, greasy-pig games and gold brick schemes; and if you experience a streak of hard luck, or happen to take on too much tea, or get pasted wibh the rolling pin at home, "mums the word." If you have a boy off at school, send him the paper. If you have a daughter married and living in a distant town, send her what she will appreciate more Hum any other gift you could possibly bestow?the home paper. Send the home paper to some friend or relative who has moved away to a distant State, or to another county. If you like the paper and it strikes you that the editor is striving to give you the best weekly paper he can possibiy put out, tell your friends and neighbors about it and ask them if they wouldn't like to have it for a year. If some one tells you that the local paper isn't worth five cents a year, don't argue the point with him. He may have a grievance, and the opinion he entertains of the editor may be entirely mutual, or the poor fellow may be shy in the upper story. An editor some times catches a man with a'cold back, or he may happen to know that a cer tain man isn't "on the square" and says so, or perchance, he refuses to play in some fellow's back-yard. In either instance, it must not be expected that the grieved party will blow the editor's horn. Furiosus furore suo puni tur. A Western Wonder. There's a Hill at Bowie, Tex,, that's twice as big as last year. This wonder is W. L. Hill, who from a weight, of 90 pounds has grown to over 180. lie says: "I suffered with a terrible cough, and doctors gave me up to die of consump tion. I was reduced to 90 pounds, when I began taking Dr. King's New discov ery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Now, after taking 12 bottles, I have more than doubled in weight and am completely cured.

But nearly every one fails. Why? Because there are difficulties in the way. What are these difficulties? The things that pre vent achievement ?the hard things. What is the customary way of treating them? To dodge them or slur them. Why should that be the common way? Because it is the easy way, of course. Put down in a little book the hard things that you dodge or slur in twenty four hours, and study them .*i little. You are in school and the first thing that strikes you in the morning is a difficult problem in mathematics, sci ence, or translation. There are a dozen different ways of getting around it, all easier than to conquer it. You are in an office and a knotty question in ac counts comes up. It will take an hour to master it, but only a minute to get an older head to help out. You are at home, and suddenly some trifle irritates the temper. Every one knows it is easier to indulge it than to control it. A sudden temptation comes among a group of good fellows. To yield is easy; to resist is hard. So it follows that surrender to obstacles is the rule; successful resistance, the exception. But here and there a young man does overcome. He triumphs, and we recog nize a master. He acquires the con quering habit, and presently we find him rejoicing in the strength that comes from repeated and easy victories. Af ter that his course through the world, in whatever vocation he engages, is natural conquest, and the fellows who weakly yielded when difficulties arose arc the material he builds on. There seem to be two ways only of dealing with hard things. First, is to succumb. Yield to the tired feeling. Give up mathematics because it is tough. Drop history because it's dull. Give up the fight for the top in busi ness because it takes so much effort. Follow this line of surrender two or three years, then examine your back bone. Test your mind, your moral strength, your conscience. See how your whole capacity for achievement has been weakened until you are incap able, perhaps forever, like most of the weaklings around you. But try first the other thing. Grapple the first difficulty that comes up. Wrestle til! you down it, if it takes till break of day. Get on top of it with both feet. First the bear, then the lion, then (ioliath. (David worked up by degrees to the giant.) Master the problem in mathematics, and know the joy of victory; the hard things in other studies, and see what tonic to the mind; the hardest thing in your day's work at office or shop, and see how strong you will he for the next day; the tempta tion that assails you, and feel the joy of deliverance. Do all this faithfully until it becomes a habit. Then seo how strong your mind has become, how secure your con science, how you jump ahead in your work, how you grow to be a maiter of men. The world yields to such a spirit as that. Commence to-morrow morning the ob stacle conquering habit. If it fails you in a year or two of honest effort, go back to the habit of surrender before difficulties, and take your place with the great mass of nrtm who wearily hold aloft the banner of defeat.

Bomo examples of tho marvels of memory would seem entirely Incredible had they not been given to us upon the highest authority. CyriiB knew tho name of each soldier in his army. It is also related of Thomttttocles that he could tell by name every citizen of Athens, although the number amount ed to 20,000. Mithridates, king of Ton tus, knew all his 80,000 soldiers by their right names. Seipio knew all the Inhabitants of Rome. Seneca complained of old ago because he could not, as formerly, re peat 2,000 names In the order in which they were read to him, and he stated that on one occasion, when at his studies, 200 unconnected verses having been recited by the different pupils of his preceptor, he repeated them in n reverse order, proceeding from the last to the first. Thomas Cranmer committed to mem ory In three months an entire transla tion of the Rlblc.

Acetylene (Jnn Wn* Uncover ed by nn Accident. Cheap commercial acetylene gas was discovered by accident. Willsou, a sci entific experimenter, believed that near ly all metallic oxides could be reduced to a metallic state by heating them to an extremely high temperature by the voltaic arc in the presence of free car bon. Aluminium had been successfully reduced in this way. Mr. Willson wished to obtain metallic calcium. He therefore mixed a quantity of quick lime with pulverized coke and brought the mixture to a high temperature by the action of tho voltaic arc. He ex pected to obtain a white metal, bnt In stead he appeared to produce nothing but slag. This was thrown into tho yard, and one day at noon while the boys were having their luncheon they picked up these bits of slag and threw them at each other. One piece fell into a pail of water and produced a bub bling effect and a strong odor. This at tracted Mr. Wlllson's attention, and upon Investigation ho found that the strong smelling gas was extremely in flammable. Further investigation re vealed that it was pure acetylene gas.?

"Such as wake on the- night and sleep on the day uud haunt taverns and ale housos and no uiau wot from whence they come nor whither they go." So quaintly describes an old English stat ute against the gypsies. Ever since the year 1530, says a writer in the London Staudard, Great Britain lias tried to get rid of this struuge people without ap preciable success. Every year or so some county is up In anus against them, yet they persist in returning anil apparently thrive under persecution. The gypsies are popularly supposed to come originally from Egypt, as their name Indicates, but their origin is trac ed farther east than the land of the Nile. Wherever they come from, they are a separate people, a tribe quite by themselves. They appenrod in England about 1505, and twenty-six years later Henry VIII. ordered them to leave the coun try in sixteen days, taking nil their goods with them. "Au outlandish pco plo," ho culled them. The act was in effectual, und In 15<?2 Elizabeth framed a still more stringent law, and many were hanged. "But what numbers were executed," says one old writer, "yet notwith standing, all would not prevaile, but they wandered as before, uppe and downe." They got into Scotland and became an intolerable nuisance. Both in that country and lu Englaud legisla tion proved quite Ineffectual. The acts gradually fell into desuetude. Under George IV. all that was loft of the ban against the gypsies was the mild law that any person "telling fortunes shall be deemed n rogue and a vagabond." "Gypsies are no longer a proscribed class," says a recent writer. "Probably the modern gypsy does little evil be yond begging and petty theft, but his determination not to work is as strong as ever, and It seems curious that an industrial people like OUl'8 continues to tolerate a horde of professional Idlers." How numerous the horde Is may be gathered from the fact (hat the number who wintered In Surrey ,0110 year was estimated at 10,000. The language as well as the life of the gypsy tribe has a tenacity of Its own. Many of their words have taken firm hold in a half slang, half permis sibly way. Shaver Is the gypsy word for child. Pal is pure gypsy. Codgor means a man. Cutting up Is gypsy for quarreling, and cove stands for "that fellow." NOTES. A note given by a minor is void. ,Notes boar Interest only when so stated. Altering a note In any manner by the holder makes It void. It Is not legally necessary to say on a note "for value received." If a note is lost or stolen it does not release the maker. He must pay It. If the time of payment of a note is not inserted It Is held to be payable on demand. Notes falling duo Sunday or on a le gal holiday must be paid on the day previous. A note obtained by fraud or from a porson In a state of intoxication can not be collected. An Indorser has a rigid of action against all whose names wen- previ ously on a note Indorsed by him.

Having observed tho habits of the birds, ho took It for grant ed that the stork would reoceupy Its usual quarters upon its return In the spring, which Indeed proved to be the ease. The surprise of the clergyman's household was great however, when it* members noticed that "their stork" now wore two silver rings upon his leg. 1 The bird was recaptured and, behold, the old rieg was back again and ac companying It another, which read, "India sends greetings to Berlin."?Fil (rim.
