IN SECRET SESSION
Hosiery Manufactures Set
All People to Guess
ing.
(By the Associated Press }

Charlotte, n. c., Sept. 7.-Hosiery
yarn manufacturers representing 2S5,-
900 of the 400 900 spindles engaged on
that line of goods in the South held
what was said to be an important secret
conference here today. They held two
sessions lasting the greater part of
the day and after adjournment it was
given out that there was nothing for
the public in the proceedings; that
several resolutions had been passed
and the situation discussed but notn-
ing else about the meeting could be
CLEANED from any of the tWenty-four
men in atten dance. One of the reso-
lutions looked to the fixing of the tare
at figure between and 10 pounds
of yarn. Samuel A. Carter, of At
lanta, was chosen chairman and j. f.
Taylor, of Kinston, secretary. The
principal feature of the meeting to
those on the outside is the reticence of
these concerned, which is quite un-
usual. An Alabama manufacturer, when
asked what was done, volunteered the
| information that the conference had
done absolutely nothing and Mr.. Tay
lor, secretary, said the meeting was
entirely informal and had no connec-
! ton whatever with any organization.
| 1t was called by six or eight prOmi-
! nent Splnners, who along with many
| others realized the necessity of con-
certed action and took upon them
selves the responsibility of calling the
| meeting The meeting, said Mr.. Tay~
| lor, was for the purpose of discussing
the situation and getting on a better
working basis. The outlook, he said,
! is more favorable, if the present cot
| ton crop can be kept out of the hands
| of the SPECTATORS If the crop ShoulG
prove to be more than II ,000,0 bales.

will hardly be able to manipulate it,
! One of the most prominent men at
| tending the meeting is r. S. Reinhardt.
| of LincOlnton, president of the Ameri-
can Cotton Manufacturers Association.
| Mr.. Reinhardt does not see anything

Mr.. Reinhardt.

ners who are attending the meeting

young nieces, in the back yard, peel
ing apples.
She complained of feeling sick,
arose and went to her room. In a
few moments, one of the girls follow
ed to know if she could be of as

brace of death.

living beings on the premises, their
father MI, James Knight, having
gone on a business trip to Guilford
College soon after breakfast. The
nearest neighbor was a mile away.

euualled by the aWfu! experience OF

seminated. kind neighbors gathered,
but it was late in the afternoon be-
fore Mr.. Knight had been apDrised of
the sad occurrence and hastened
home. The deceased was buried in
the family grave yard today.
The only possible explanation OF
Miss Knights suicide, as given by
those who knew and loved her, is that

London, Sept. Wednesday, }
English opinion regarding the situation
in the Far Feast is not much in
fuenced by General Kuropatkin's re-
assuring rispatches. Almost all of the
difficulties of the retreat reported IN
the latest Russian dispatches have
been foreseen by the English military
observers and, indeed. the Russian
confidence following so closely
the period of what was regard
ed here as exaggerated depression,
combined with complete Japanese si-
lence regarding the rursuit, leads The
Daily Graphic to believe that the Japa-
nese generals "have not yet given up
all hopes of inflicting a crushing blow
on the Russian main army.
"The Daily Nails Mukden corre-
spondent, wiring under date of Sep
tember appears impartially to sum
up the situation, saying that the rel
ative positions of the opposing forces
are just the same as ever. The enemy
is advancing from the south and
threatening the Russians at the same
time on the east, but the decisive bat
tie is still to come"
