Mills Will Obey New Labor Law.

Columbia, June 1.-The new n-hour
labor law, affecting cotton mills, which
passed the last Legislature by large
majority, after several years of vain at
tempts to get it through, goes into par
tial operation the first of next month,
when every cotton mill in tho State will
have to rearrange its time schedule.
Beginning with the first Of next month
the law limits the hours to 62 a week,
the 60-hour schedule to go into effect tho
first Of next January. There is a pro-
vision in the act that lost time, accruing
from accident or other unavoidable
cav so, may be made up to the extent of
90 hours in the course of year.
The mill people say the new law will
be promptly and permanently obeyed,
both in the spirit and to the letter. They
say the change will operate against them,
as both North Carolina aud Georgia still
have a 6G-hour law, and competition for
help is sharp.

DEATH OF REV. wm. q. NEVILLE, LID.

The sad Intelligence was received in
Walhalla Last Saturday afternoon that
Rev. William Gordon Neville had de-
parted this life at Clinton, s. c., that
day at 1.45 p. m. The news was severe
shock to his many friends in Walhalla
and throughout Cconee county. Only
two weeks before he was on q visit to
relatives and friends and appeared to be
In the best of health.
He was born and reared in this county
and graduated from Adger College in
June, 1878. After graduation he taught
school at Westminster, after which he
entered tho Theological Seminary. He
became shining light in the Presbyte-
rian church and was one of its most
prominent ministers.
In the midst of his years and
greatest usefulness as an educator his
life's work is ended; but his influence,
ever potent for good, will long abide.
He was a man of high ideals and noble
achievements. To know him was to love
him, and wherever his lot was cast, much
good was accomplished. While the ter
mination of his labors was sudden, and
to human sense mysterious, yet the
world has been made better and human
kind helped by his, having lived and
wrought among men.
To his aged father, Capt. John c..
Neville, of West Union, and brothers
and sisters in their sore bereavement is
extended the sincere sympathy of many
friends in this and other communities
in which the son aud brother was so we'll
known. To them he has left precious
legacy in the memory of one whose ex-
ample was ennobling and ever worthy of
emulation.
