Preparations for the big-meeting OF
the Southern Textile Association to
be held in Charlotte on the 26th
inst. are now well under way and the
prospects seem favorable for making
this a pleasant and profitable occa-
sion for those who attend.
This association was organized at
a meeting of few mill men in Char
lotte two years ago, and has since
held profitable sessions at GreenVille,
Spartanburg and Columbia, S. c.,
Raleigh, N. c., and Augusta, Ga., with
a constantly increasing membership,
the attendance at Augusta last July
being over four hundred, and there is
reason to believe there will be still
more at the Charlotte meeting, as
this is a ''home coming" to a point
more convenient for a large number
of the members.
The various committees have taken
hold Of the work with a good degree
or interest, and everything possible
will be done by those in charge of the
ARRANGEMENTS to make the meeting a
grand success. As already announced
a committee consisting of Messrs. +.
H. Boyd, A. B. Sanders and G. A.

lection of the necessary funds TO de-
fray the incidental exp>rses, and be-
sides this We are informed that some
of the machinery and supply men Will

ment of the visiting members "on the
