MILL OWNERS CONFER.
STATE ASSOCIATION HOLDc SES.
SION IN COLUMBIA.
Elegant Banquet Served at Colonial
Hotel in the Evening-Waste Plant
for Piedmont Section.

Columbia, Jan. 3.-The South Car
olina Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton held it's midwinter gathering
here today. The gathering was large
ly social and was primarily intended
merely for the meeting of those inter-
ested in the cotton mill industry for
exchanging views and having a pleas
ant day in Columbia. The meeting
was rounded off with an elegant BAN
quet erved at the Colonial under
the supervision of a local committee,
Of which Mr.. E. W. Robertson was
chairman.
The money conditions have affected
the cotton mills as much as other
lines Of business and the stringency
has seriously lessened the demand for
goods. Many of the mills that have
contracts ahead are experiencing diff
ficulty in having the goods ordered off,
others have not made advance sales,
and others are finding ready sale for
their goods at profitable prices.
Capt. Ellison A. Smith, the presi :.
dent Of the association, presided at
the business meeting, but on account
of recent bereavement in his family
did not attend the banquet. Capt.
Smith, whose whole heart is in the
work Of the association and to whose
efforts the success of the association
is largely sdue, submitted report on
conditions generally, and made Sc
ries Of suggestions, most of which were
accepted.
A committee of five is to be ap-
pointed to consider and submit def
mite plans for the establishment OF a
waste cotton mill plant in the Pied
mont section. This proposition in no
wise conflicts with the Charleston
waste mill, the idea being that the
Piedmont mill should devote itself to
manufacturing. and the Charleston
plant more to the handling Of the cot
ton in the original state and preparing
Ii for shipment. The association feels
that 1t has accomplished the esta5-
lishment of the Carolina Waste Com
pany in Charleston and now wishes
to take up the establishment Of a
plant nearer the mills, where a GER
tain quantity Of the cotton waste may
be manufactured.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY NULL.
The Supreme Court Hands Down All
Important Decision,

The Supreme Court Hands Down an
Important Decision.
Washington, Jan. 6.-That the con-
gressional act Of June IL, 1905, known
as "the employers liability law" is not
in accordance with the constitution Of
the United States, because it goes be-
yond the bounds permitted in the reg
ulation Of interstate commerce, was
the conclusion reached by the su-
preme court Of the United States in
deciding damage cases coming to the
court from the federal courts OF Ken
lucky and Tennessee, which were
brought under the provisions of the
law. The decision was announced by
Justice White and was reported by
the narrow margin of one, the court
standing S to 4 against the law. Even
among the five who voted not to sus-
tain the statute there were different
shades OF opinion. Much interest was
manifested in the result Of the courts
deliberations, but attorneys generally
refrained from comment. The law in
question makes railroads and other
common carriers responsible to ON
ployes for accidents due to the negli-
gence of fellow servants and to incf-
fective appliances. The decision OF
the lower court was affirmed.
