ACTION is TAKEN AS RESULT OF
Low PRICE OF CLOTH.
Mills In the County Suspend Opera
tions for an Indefinite Period, and
Others in Different Parts of the
State Are Expected to Follow Suit
Thousands Of Operatives Idle.

sands of spindles and looms of the
cotton mills in Spartanburg county
were stilled last night when the presi-
dents of the several mills issued or
ders to close down indefinitely, the
shut down being complete because Of
the low prices of the cloth market.
The following are the mills affected
and the amount Of cotton consumed
annually: Clifton. $4,000 bales; /;
Pacolet. $4,000; Whitney, 10000;
Lockhart, 10000; Spartan Mills, co.
600; Arkwright. 10000. Other mills
will close down during next week. The
smut down, 1t Is understood, will not
be confined to the mills in the Pied.
mont section, but throughout the en-
tire State.
The above named mills have been
running five days each week for some
time, which has been a considerable
curtailment, but on account of the
low price Of manufactured goods and
the high price Of raw material, the
mill presidents realized that it was
impossible to operate the mills at a
profit and orders were issued Friday
afternoon for a complete shut down
for an indefinite period.
The shut down last night did not
come as surprise to the operatives
In the mills or to the public, for ever
since the meeting Of the directors of
the South Carolina Cotton Manufac-
| turers' Association in Greenville sew
eral days ago, it was believed that a
| general curtailment would follow the
resolutions Of the directors recon-
mending that the mills curtail.
The mill presidents say that they
have no idea when operations will be
resumed. Everything depends in q
large measure on the future price of
the cloth market. II there is an ad-
yaneement In, the price OF gepGs to
meet the price OF cotton, it may not
be a great while before operations
will be resumed. At present the mill
men say that they cannot afford tc
pay 1880 cents for cotton and sci
goods on 10-cent basis. The differ
ence In the price of cloth and that OF
the raw material Is too great and ne
mill can stand it.
| There are number of mills in the
state that have orders ahead tha
they are compelled to fill, and Just a.
soon as they catch up with the or
ders they will begin to curtail, amons
them being the Abbeville Cottor
Mills, which was one Of the first tc
shut down.
The closing down of the cottor
mills has resulted in $4,000 looms and
about $1,000 spindles being idle ant
affects several thousand operatives
The management of the mills will SET
that the operatives are given fire,
honse rent while the mills are shu
down and will endeavor to keep tht
operatives together during the idle
period. 1t was thought best to close
down before the hard winter month:
Set in, for had the mills postponed the
closing down period several weeks
the operatives would have beer
caught by cold weather and the ques.
ton of fuel and extra supplies would
have increased their living expense
and made it hard on them.

crowds Of the season, $50 people being
present.
Henson Of Montpelier pitched star
game for the Italians, allowing but three
hits and although he was Wild at times
he showed his mettle BY keeping the hits
down Just when they were needed BY
the visitors for runs. Olsen Of Granite

and although he allowed but six hits,
they were made just when they counted
for runs.
The locals backed up their pitcher
in gilt.edged style, making but one error
during the game and executing two double
plays that were good to see and which
pulled them out Of tight places. In the
first inning Berry, the former Goddard
player, was the first man up for the
visitors and he drew a pass TO first.
Henson then got in his good work after

Mrs. Rivsby's Funeral

Roy Rigsby arrived from Oakland
Sunday night with the remains of his
mother. They were taken from the
train to her late residence, where she
passed so many happy hours with her
family.
The funeral took place from the
Presbyterian church at 800 o'clock this
afternoon, and was largely attended by
those who knew her through the many
years she resided here. Rev. George
H, Greenfield, assisted by the choir,
conducted the services. Mrs. Rigsby
had been consistent, worthy member
of the Presbyterian church for MANY
years, and the pastors tribute to her
character and worth was appreciated
by all who knew her so long.
After the services the remains were
followed to the cemetery on the hill,
where the services We're concluded, and
another Christian mother was hidden
away from mortal sight.
Mrs. Rigsby loved her home and
family. New, that she has gone from
them forever may the memory of that
love and devotion always remain with
them.
May the last long sleep of this devoted
Christian mother be as sweet and peace
full as an infants slumber.

Silver Will Advance

According to Thomas Nevins g. Son
of New York the constant improve
ment in the position of the silver market
will prove an important factor during
1909. The advance in the price of the
white metal has been 5 cents an. ounce
from the low level of last summer, when
China was heavy seller of silver.
Now, however, China has begun heavy
purchases. In the meantime India is
preparing to coin a large amount of
bullion and the London surplus has been
greatly reduced. Moreover the Ger
man government will be in the market
for 10, 900, 600 ounces this spring
The advance of 5 cents an ounce
means an Increase in the value of the
Cobalt output of nearly 81 ZOO, 900, tax
ing last years production of about 49,
100000 ounces as a basis. This would
be over two per cent on the entire cap.
italization of the dividendpaying mines.
If silver goes to 55 cents during 1909
it will mean a substantial dividend in
crease before the end of the year to all
dividend-paying stocks Many silver
experts expect that u price of 90 cents
an ounce is among the probabilities of
the year.
