The cotton mills of Spartanburg
county use about 100000 bales of
cotton a year, while the cou nty
produces in round number but 80 .000
bales. The Clifton mills alone con-
sumo nearly as much as the crop OF
the county.
= Larry CAN'T seems to have put
quite lively hum on the atmosphere
in Spartanburg county. Ordinarily
Larry is right smart Of humbug;
but in the present instance the fact
stands him in good stead. Most Of
the men he is after are humbugs, too.

awfully uneasy for fear he would do
something to displease him. At last
he fell in love, of course, with Il very
Door but pretty girl named Kate. They
kept their love secret and lived on it
for about Il year, and thought the old
captain didn't know it, but he did. SO
they determined to get married even
tho it should make the old man mad
and he should turn them out of doors

took Kate by the hand and boldly
they went into the old mans presence
and told him all about it, and that they
had come for his consent and for him to
fix the day when they should be mar
ried. The old fellow was really glad
OF it, for he liked the girl, but nc
couldn't help being contrary and SO nc
clustered around and pretended to DC
very mad, and finally wound up by say

and Ill say when-yes, when. Well.

TO Shut Down Southern Mills.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2@3.-About
twenty-five representatives OF the
Southern Spinners' Association from
North and South Carolina are now
in this city. The delegation is headed
by President j. II. McAden and Sec
rotary G. Il. Hiss, OF Charlotte, n. G..
The visitors came to see the National
Export Association. They will while
here, tits said, discuss questions which
may result III temporarily shutting
down :: large number Of mills III the
South. This is on account of the am
ticipatcd increase OF cost OF cotton
The present price Of material such as
the mills in the Association use is C'
cents per pound. It's expected that
i'll sixty days the price will be raised to
- cents. The question whether ornot
ii would be advisable to take orders at
the present prices or refuse them is
accordingly the principal subject OF
discussion with the committeeman here
and among the members Of the Asso-
cation themselves.
Secretary Hiss said to-night that the
present prices are entirely too low, and
unless an advance i,madc it Willie i'm
possible to ill orders at tlcanticipatcd
raise iii the price OF the raw material :.
As anatlcr0f fact. he thought it would
be better 70 shut down than run the
mills at Il loss.
Should there bc Il general shut down
it might affect one Hundred and fifty
mills in the South.

Will Enter Suit Against the Bond.

Attorney General Bellinger is pre-
pairing to bring suit against the bonds
men of Col. w. A. Neal, owing to the
failure Of Col. Neal to make any other
settlement Of the amount the commit
tee finds him owing the State. 1t hap
pens that all three of the bondsmen
arc Colnmbians and arc men who stand
high in the community, financially as
we'll as otherwise. The bond is signed
by Willie Jones. p. II. IIaltiwanger and
Scott Pope.
Mr.. Bellingcr recently notified these
bondsmen that they were expected to
call to sec him and settle the matter at
once. OF the three Col. Jones called
and intimated to the Attorney general
that he was willing to pay up and
would do so. Mr.. Bellingcr said yes
tcrday that neither of the other gentle
men had taken any notice of his letter
to them, and he would forthwith pre-
pare to enter suit.
The bond was given for $4,000. ct
course the bondsmen will only have to
make good the shortage, which MIR.
Bcllingcr insists must be considered
what is set forth in the legislative COM
mittee's report. Each bondsman is
liable for the entire amount in case the
others fail to produce property cover
ing their share.
1t is understood that the other bonds
men will test the question OF their liza
bility in the courts before paying any
of the money claimed to be due the
State. Nh. Pope is said to have init
mated that he will await the bringing
of snit in the courts. Thus the matter
stands. OF course all actions OH the
bond will be entirely separate aud dis
