Spartanburg County against the '
Spartan mills for back taxes, the su- j

$10,000.

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. It is ,
hoped that the North Carolina mills
will not have to curtail production, 1
either. * (
