\
Tlie interest shown a short while w
go in the affairs of the Union Cot- h
on Mill has been reawakened by c<
lie session of the special stockholders
in special meeting which began n?
'uesday morning. The meeting II
,as called for twelfe'o'clock in the U
doming and many lartre stockhohl
rs and creditors were present? from1 a
11 sections of the country. Quite Ik
number met at the mill oftice at m
lie time set for the-meeting, but
bis was adjourned until three M
'clock the same afternoon by Preslent
Duncan. B
The meeting was called to order la
t four o'clock of the same day and I)
djourned at six. A committee on
roxies, Dr. H. Kf Smith, of jo
rnion, B. F. Arthur, of Union,
nd A. Sv Wattless, of Canton in
unction, Mass., reported that c>
,014 shares of stock were reprcsen- hi
id out of the whole number 7,580. ar
. majority was therefore present. ni
The report of the expert account-1
nts showed that the liabilities of bj
le Union Cotton Mills amounted to!oi
bout $2,050,(XX) and that for some it
me the mills have been losing m
loncy.
A committc was appointed to ai
raxf"up by-laws for the Union Cot- w
>n Mills on account of the lion- in
sistcnce of such by-laws. The ai
Dmmittec consisted of F. M. Carey tl
f Baltimore, J. P. K. Bryan, of gc
harleston, and Victor DePass, of b^
fnion. e>
President Duncan made the first n<
pecch of the meeting and from re- gi
orts it was evidently a magnifiiBnt
defense. He criticized as un- Tl
crhandcd the accountant's reports,
lying tnat they had gone beyond
lieir directions and that ho could t,c
asily explain some of the entries, sa
peaking of his personal indebted- Ti
ess, he declared that lie had put Gi
p stock in other undertakings af
'h*eh was fully equal tothcamouut pi
e owed. su
He told of his work in upbuild- M
lg Union and the Union mills. ^
'rom hollows and gulleys, he delared
that he had reared magnifijnt
mills. He had built the Union cc
lill for one kind of manufacture C<
nd the Buffalo mill for another, trs
'o shorten expenses, he had built to
splendid power plant which would
sduce greatly the cost of produe- te
ion. To lessen traffic costs, he f?
ad built the Union and Glenn
prings road, saving by that very |)
onstruction many thousands to
he mills.
Dr. Clifford moved that a com- fu
littee lie appointed to examine the
sports of the expert accountants j
nd to report on their investiga- t*.
ions, and also as to the explanaions
offered by President Duncan.
'he committee appointed was Dr. K
I. W. Culp, W. E. Thomson and ??
. C. Wallace. jj|
During the day and while the tll
neeting was in progress, a dispatch m
rom Charleston gave information
o the effect that in the United ^
tatcs Court in Charleston a pcti- j
ion had been filed against the ;
Jnion cotton mills in involuntary !
ankruptcy. All the petitioners
,'erc small creditors and two weeks |f
iave l>cen assigned during which
he mill may show cause why it
hould not Ik; deemed bankrupt,
'he petitioners are: The Chesapeake i
>hoe Co., the Bnelsenbcrg Clothing (>(
Jo., the Aiwa Purniture Co., and ?
he Spool Cotton Company, in all jj
.mounting to less than 81,000.
The attorneys for the petitioners
re Scaife and Hamblin. Papers
pill soon lie served on the mill au- )
horities.
The meeting was called to order ft,
>romptly on Wednesday morning
,nd the stockholders went into their w
eoond business session. The com- jr
nitteo on by-laws reported a set of
>y-laws of the ordinary form and cj
lot differing in any respect from ],
he usual by-laws for any similar 8l
rganization. These by-laws were (|(
.dopted. The election of president jj
ame after some minor matters had

?f Baltimore nominated Mr. Thomas u
3. Duncan, seconded by Mr. Mac- p

The October McClure's is devoted the
peculiarly to Americal life and ac- ant
tivisies. Not a story in it, nor a car
special article, but concerns the real per

this country at large. Pastor Charles
Wagner, the French clergyman-author
of "The Simple Life," writes of
his visit at the White House, and ^
with simple directness tells of the tni
children and the household life of the n0
President as he saw them. He writes 'ier
an interesting and important estimate 'ias
of President Roosevelt as a man. tt(*r
