IMPORTANT MEETING
OF COTTON SPINNERs AT WHICH
IRON CLAD SCALE WAS
SIGNED.

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 27.-Cotton
spinners of the Southern states held
an important meeting here today. The
mill men were in session four hours,
and unanimously decided to advance
price of hard yarns. A schedule was
submitted and adopted, making a de,
cdied increase in the prices. An ad,
visory committee was appointed to
assist in carrying out the object of the
meeting. The spinners entered into
an agreement that each mill shall
have one selling house, that may be
required to sign an agreement not to
speculate in the product. The meet
ing was harmonious throughout. All
the spinners present, representing
every important yarn mill in the
south, with total of AT, ,499 spindles,
signed an ironclad agreement on
prices.
1t was the sense of manufacturers
present that before cut should be
made In this schedule every mill In
the south would be shut down until
prices were accepted. All big COM
mission houses in New York and Phil
adelphia were represented at the meet
ing. The radical action is expected
to have immediate and telling effect
on the market.

was one imposing a fine Of $100 on the

they felt that an injustice was being

should be amended so as to forestal

was received from the Pacific coast

The commission notified the coast peo-

SOME NEW RULES
FOR THE SCHOOLS
NEW SYSTEM OF CREDIT MARKS
ADOPTED.
No Final Examinations, But Frequent
Tests to Be Made-Prof. Weckel
to Manage Athletics.

At the high school chapel exercises
resumed Tuesday morning it was an
nounced that Prof Edward Weckel
had been selected as general manager
of athletics for the season of 1904 and
1905.
When the announcement was made,
Mr.. Weckel was asked to address the
student body and amid great applause
stepped to the stage, presenting an
outline of the work for the ensuing
year. In conclusion the new director
expressed the desire that all students
be present at the football game Friday
afternoon between the teams of Mas
sillon and Canton high schools. He
said the local team would promise
victory if the crowd of rooters was
sufficiently large and enthusiastic.
Principal Armstrong presided at the
services. He made lengthy speech
laying down the policy of the school
which will be in force during the com
ing year. AS to conduct, he said
he would not lay down any arbi-
trary rules to be followed but would
trust to the judgment of the pupils
If in doubt as to the propriety of any
acts he added that he expected to be
consulted If the judgment of the
pupil does not correspond to that of
the supreme head" of the school, Mr.
Armstrong advised that the pupil be
taken out of school. The subject of
tardiness was dealt with extensively
by the principal He explained the
unreasonableness of being tardy and
added that he would not promise to
treat all alike but would leave other
matters than the graveness of the Of
fense to determine the penalty. These
statements did not receive the ap-
plause that was planned but instead a
deep groan crept over the hall.
During the next year the credits
will be arranged as follows: The
grade for a semester will be composed
of the class record averaged with writ.
ten tests which shall be given at least
every six weeks. The grade which
determines promotion will be the av-
erage OF the grades of the semesters.
Final examinations have been abol-
ished but in their stead are the
tests which are thrust without
warning upon the students and which
bear equal credit with the examina-
tions.
Special effort will be made this year
to see that a perfect drill be intro.
duced whereby the entire building
may be cleared of students in case OF
fire, within a reasonably short time
The fire signal is three rings of the
electric bells and within a short fine
the first practice will be held.
Several minor notices were given
the pupils in regards to entering the
building and conduct in the halls No
communications from parents asking
that a pupil be dismissed during
school hours for cause, however
serious, will be countenanced.

PLOT TO WRECK A
j, s. BATTLESH|P
PROBABLY CONTRIVED BY DIS
oRUNTLED WoRKMEN.
Obstruction Placed on the Ways With
the Intention of Wreekina
the Ship.

New York, Sept. 27.-Some one,
probably disgruntled workman, made
an attempt last week to insure the
wrecking Of the new United States
battleship Connecticut at her launch
ing Thursday morning. An obstruction
was planted in the ways under water,
with the intention of ripping out her
bottom and furnishing the most largely
attended shipwreck in history.
What the obstruction was has not
been told, but, in the language of an
expert shipbuilder at the navy yard,
the same thing would have happened
to her that happens to an express train
when she hits rock at full speed"
Report has it that the obstruction was
set of stout spikes, driven firmly
into the ways.
Whoever planted the obstruction
reckoned without the official inspection
which is always made of the ways
before warship is launched.
Divers were put to work last week
greasing the ways and looking for the
smallest flaw that might turn the
course of the Connecticut when, with
the speed Of an express train, she hits
the lower ways and glides out into the
water. Just below the low water line
they found the obstruction, whose ma
ture is kept secret by the navy yard
people. The discovery led to the insti-
tuition of a guard of marines day and
night about the hull.
