.CURTAILMENT Is
PLANNED BY MILLS

Boston. October "a gigantic move
ment. born of unrest of long standing.
is in progress throughout'fhe leading cot
ton textile districts Of the world, look
ing toward a general curtailment of pro
duction during the remaining months Of
this year. and In 1910 The principal rea-
sons advanced for the movement are the
gradual increase in the cost of raw ma
terial and the failure of the dry goods
markets to respond IN way which would
assure continued profit to manufacturers
during the next II months.
In Lancashire the yarn spinners have
been running their mills on short time
for two months and recently many other
English mill owners voted to shut down
two days each week until November s.
On September Is the ArKwright club of
Boston, representing 100000 out of 1T,o00
900 spindles in New England, sent out to
all the cotton mills in this district. which
is second in the industry to Lancashire,
forms of an agreement for signatures for
o curtailment The investigations of the
executive committee of this club CON
vinced it that no dihfeulty would be ex-
perienced in occurring ths signatures repfe-
senting 100000 spindles.
The proposition calls for the suspen-
sion of work for 224 working hours be-
tween the date of the agreement and All
gust 1, 1910 to become effective when
no less than 1000, 900 spndles have been
signed up Reports from different sec
tions of New England indicate that the
proposition of the Arkwright club is meet
ing with an encouraging response. Such
d curtailment. however, is not likely to
become effective in this state In the imme-
djate future, as many of the mills that
will sign an agreement VIII be unable to

ImnrovIno MONEY Order svsten

Washington, October AT the confer
ence of money order experts of the post
office department, to be held in this city
on the 18th inst, every phase of the
money order system will be considered in
detail with a view to reducing expenses
and increasing the efficiency of the work.
The most important subject to be consid-
cred will be the suggestion that identifica-
tion of the holder of money order be
waived and the orders be made payable
at any money order office, thus making
money orders practically currency.

President Taft has been deeply inn
pressed with the beauty, not only of the
valley ITSELF but the entire Yosemite
park. He declared that the park had
been neglected, as compared with the
Yellowstone. Mr. Taft is anxious that
some definite plan of Improvement shall
be agreed upon in order that progress
may be made year by year. Road build
ing is the first great need as the Pres
ident himself has suggested, and he prob
ably will make some recommendations on
the subject in his forthcoming message
to Congress.

And there were many men hearing the

The crowd which heard Colonel Bowman
numbered 407. A. c, Smith, a well-known
attorney of Clanton, polled the crowd.
He declares that every man who heard
Colonel Bowman is voter.
This audience was enthusiastic to a
great degree. Its cheers repeatedly rung
through the courthouse as Judge benson
spoke. But its most noticeable character
istic was it's unanmity. Toward the con-
clusion of his address Bowman asked the
question:
"Will those present who intend voting
against the amendment hold up their
hands?"
Every hand went up amidst applause

Praise God, From Whom All Blessings
Flow"
Il. H. Reynolds, probate Judge, and one
of the political leaders of the county,
then made short address. He was
anxious that the impression get abroad
that 'the question Is not Comer's ques-
ton, but yours" He next enlivened the
situation by wondering in view of the
fact that $500 was offered for a small
south Alabama paper, what must The
Age-Herald and the Advertiser have re-
ceived,' which was a plagiarism on Kyle
Price, whose wit is one of the keenest OF
all those on the side of the amendment,
and whose strength of character has been
freely commented upon.
Judge Reynolds then read a statement
concerning himself in which he endeav-
ored to impress upon the audience his
claim that he is actuated by politics not
of the fight even '1f 1t means my political
death"
Judge benson was presented to the audi
ence by Solicitor w. c. Adams, who paid
the distinguished jurfst some very fat
tering compliments.
Judge benson Speaks.
Judge benson opened with the state
ment that the issue is whisky or no
whisky" and ventured the assertion that
Daniel Webster could arrive at no other
conclusion. He referred to the fact that
the people of Alabama favored prohibi-
ton, and declared the governor would
have been recreant in his duty had he
not noted the cry of the citizens and
signed the Statewide BILL He thanked
God for a governor whose backbone Is
not a string"
He gave It as his opinion that the
United States Brewers association Is be-
hind the fight against the amendment. In
timating that from this source the anti
amendment people had gained campaign
fund the speaker attempted to clinch
his argument by asking all those who
had contributed a dollar to the fight
against the amendment to hold up their
hands He then referred to the popular
subscription of $4,000 raised by the
amendment politicians in a Christian
church in Birmingham. AS is remem-
bered. at this meeting, Judge Weakley,
candidate for governor, astounded by
contribution of $3.50, which was followed
by a contribution from Walter D. Seed,
candidate for governor, OF $1,000, which
swept the people off their feet.
He answered the charge that the amend
ment would not be effective by referring
TO other amendments which did not carry
noIitics is the cause of the fight for an
amendment In Alabama at this time,
Judge benson answered with a simple
denial.

home" he said. mo one Is seeking to
take away that right. The liberty the

which is denied them to open a grog shop

church and state. There are questions
in the solution OF which the two should

Injunction which we cannot overlook.
At this point Judge benson effectively
told the story of Edward Dunbar's poem.

ment to hold up their hands"
Not a hand went up.
Interview With Mullins.
Upton Mullins, an anti-amendment sup
porter attended the speaking OF Colonel
benson and Governor Conner
AEar the speaking he confessed great
surprise.
A. said he, "a man as strong and
as able and as popular as Judge benson
cannot arouse more enthusiasm in Chill
ton county than was aroused this morn
ing, 1t Is an absolute certainty that no
other man can arouse much There
fore, whereas | have always felt that
the county is safe, L now believe the
amendment will go down in an over
whelming defeat.
And too, desired to hear an able man
of the opposition attempt a defense of
the second section of the proposed amend
ment. When Judge benson passed over
the section with simple denial that it
contains danger to the homes of the
people, l realized that it cannot be de-
Tended
Thomas A. Curry, one of the leading
lawyers of Clanton, said: "As a result
of the speaking | feel more certain than
ever that the day will go against the
amendment. Unless a political cataclysm
occurs we will win Chiffon hands down"
A. G. Smith, another prominent citizen
of Clanton, is equally as sanguine. I'VE
have cinched things" he said. I'VE have
gained strength as a result of the speak
ing. / am absolutely certain that the
county is ours"
The Speakers Arrive.
The accommodation from Montgomery
erl1uy
arrived at the same moment. From the
first Governor Conner and Judge benson
dismounted. On the second, Colonel Bow
man, w. e. Urquhart, Fred M. jack
son and others arrived
Col Robert j. Lowe of Barbour who
was expected to speak with Bowman, did
not come He missed connection In Mont
gomery.
Colonel Bowman was informed by the
anti-amendment committee that although
the dodgers calling the people together
had advertised a discussion of the amend
ment, Governor Conner and Judge Den
son had declined to divide time with an
anti-amendment speaker. Colonel Bow
man Immediately advised against intrud-
ing on the Governors meeting. But the
opponents of the amendment from all
over the county insisted on hearing a
speech And Bowman agreed to make an
address from wagon.
In the meantime the Governor was
speaking to a gathering of children in
front of the Palmer House. 1t was here
that he tore In twain the cartoon of the
raid of the Nelson family in Mobile. Then
following the parade of little girls, he
went to the courthouse. Judge Sam

President Taft took luncheon with Major
Forsythe of the army. His last day in
the Yosemite park was most enjoyable.
He began the day by looking at the sun
rise over the eastern granite walls OF the
valley his vantage point being the veran-
da Of the little Glacier Point hotel, right
at the very edge of a 3000-foot cliff. The
surroundings were rough and secluded.
and the President appeared in scant at

Mr.. Taft retired again and slept until
o'clock.
The altitude did not seem to affect him,

rides and early hours of the Yosemite
trip better than some of the other mem
bers of his party.
