In the case of the tax payers of 1 Spartanburg County against the ' Spartan mills for back taxes, the su- j premc court has decided against the j mills.

( The South Carolina Cotton Mills < were not generally represented at the j meeting in Charlotte last Toesday. The mills in the upper part of the , state, especially, have good stocks of ] cotton on hand, bought at about 10c, ' and are not thinking about curtailing J productiou. To shut down or to cur tail production at this season of the year, especially, would be a great 1 hardship to operatives, and would re- ' act disastrously on the mills.
