ERS DECIDE TO CURT AH* shut Down Is Not Caused by the High Price of Raw Cotton, According to Officials. Spartanburg, Jan. 17.?Curtailment for five weeks between April and Sep? tember, or earlier if the management of any mill sees fit, was decided on at a meeting of the South Carolina Manufacturers' association in this city today. The curtailment is In coopera? tion with the mills of New England. There were present 76 mill men, rep? resenting nearly every mill in the State. This curtailment, as previous! ones, Is due to the poor condition of the market for the finished goods of the mills. The high price of cotton has noth? ing to do with tho closing down of the mills as the olflcials do not ob? ject to paying 15 cents for the mate? rial If they can get fair prices for their products. The following is the conditioned statement as given out by the presi? dent, E. A. Smythe, after the meet ins had adjoruned: "A very largely attended meeting of the cotton manufacturers of South Carolina was held today In Spartan burg, 4,000,000 spindles being repre? sented. President Ellison A. Smythe presided. The resolution was adopted pledging the membersrdp of the asso? ciation to a curtailment of five weeks between April and September? con? ditioned on similar action being taken by New England and other Southern mills which cooperation was assured, or sooner, if the individual mill found it practicable. The only other business transacted was the consid? eration of reports of various commit? tees on different subjects. The asso? ciation adjourned after a very har? monious session." Immediately after the meeting la the chamber of commerce rooms, the visitors were entertained at luncheon at the Spartan City club. $5 TAX ON BACHELORS.

The t?nl;? men exempt would be those# of bad moral character or otherwise unfit. A bill embodying Miss Smith's ideas has been Introduced. It pro? vides that all money raised through the tax shall be expended for the support of deserving spinsters who are "believed" to have passed the marriageable age. Representative Alfred Tewksbury, of Winthrop has put in a bill that prohibits the wearing of tights on the stage and very short skirts on the bathing beaches. James Robinson, of Dorchester, framed the bill and pe? titioned Mr. Tewksbury to present it. it compels every woman to wear in public a skirt extending at least six inches below the kneecap. The fine for violation is $20. The bill also provides that low necked gowns must have shoulder straps. Of course, it is a difficult sort of matter for a politician like Smith, of New Jersey, to understand a public officer serving the best interests of the people like Governor-elect Wilson. Judge L. S. Roan, of Atlanta, says that everybody In the world If insane, but some are crazier than others. Perhaps living In Atlanta has made him just a little more so than the others.
