WILD SHUT DOWN.
South Carolina Cotton Mills to Shut
Down For Two Weeks.

Hendersonville, N. c., June 10
The opening session of the South
Carolina Cotton Manufacture Asso-
citation here tonight was marked by
the passage Of a resolution urging
curtailment of products and by the
report of the president, E. A. Smythe.
The plan of curtailment is for each
mill to close down for one week in
August and one week in July or for
two weeks in August.
More than 100 members of the as
sOclation attended the opening ses-
sion. About 60 more were in town
at noon. They were met at the depot
by committee of business men and
escorted to the Hotel Gates. At 8
o'clock a reception at the hotel was
rendered them by the citizens of the
town. AT o'clock there was a street
car ride to Laurel Park where a four
foot key to the city was presented to
the association. w. M. Montgomery,
of Spartanburg, accepted the courtesy
in a very happy little speech. The
Merchants Association rendered the
delegates a reception at Laurel Park
retreat where refreshments were
served and some excellent music lis
tened to. Short informal talks were
made and the delegates returned to
town.
At $3.50 the convention was called
to order in the court house by Capt
E. A. Smythe, president of the asso-
citation since its organization at Lake
Toxaway, n. c., five years ago. He
is slated for reelection tomorrow.
The presidents report and those Of
the coal-buying, waste, traffic, bag
ging and ties committees were read.
George w. Forester of Atlanta, traf-
fic manager for the association, made
his annual report.

made the following recommends
tions: To amend the labor law OF
South Carolina to prohibit employ
ment Of children under IL years of
age for any cause whatever; to rec
Ommend to the legislature a mar
riage certificate law, a birth registra-
ton law and compulsory school
law for children under II years of

tcrestng and participated in by a
majority of those present.

SUGAR TRUST MEN GUILTY.
Employees Who Defrauded Govern
ment Convicted After Hard Fight

New York, June 10.-Charles r.
Heike the white haired secretary Of
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, was convicted tonight on one
count of an indictment charging con-
spiracy to defraud the government
of customs duties on sugar.
Ernest w. Gerbraecht, former sup
erintendent of the Williamsburg
(Brooklyn) refinery, was convicted on
all six counts.
For James F. Bendernagel, former
cashier Of the refinery, the jury stood
to for acquittal. He will be tried
again.
This ends the governments second
attempt to imprison the group of men
responsible for the vast underweigh-
Ing frauds, to which the so-called
trust has virtually confessed by the
restitution of more than 100000 in
duty Heike is the highest official of
the company upon whom blame has
been fixed and he now faces a pos
sible sentence of two years in the
federal penitentiary and a fine of
$4,000. He is S5 old and broken in
health and spirits. His counsel, in
summing up. declared repeatedly that
prison term meant nothing less
than death.
Convicted on all six counts, Ger
braecht can be sentenced to IL years
in prison, with a maximum fine of
$4,000. He is SO years old.
All three, defendants who were un-
der bond, were paroled in the Gus
tody Of counsel until 1920 O'Clock
tomorrow when court will hear the
usual motion in the cases of Heike
and Gerbraecht and barring some
stay, will announce the time of sem
tence.
The trial which ended tonight was
started on May 16 with six defend
ants included in the indictment. Be-

COTTON LOOKING up.
HAS GONE UP IN FACE OF
GOOD WEATHER.
Has Contributed to Gains in Sum-
mcr Months.

New orYk, June 1O.-Cotton has
advanced in the face of weather con-
been practically ideal. Covering by
large Wall street shorts has been the
great feature so far as the summer
months are concerned. The new crop
months did not move materially until
Thursday, when there was a sharp
advance. These options had evident
ly become oversold, owing to the fav-
orable weather and the many reports
Of steady progress of the plant. Yet
Of late excessive rains have occurred
in many parts of the belt, while in
Texas maximum temperatures have
been reported of 100 to 104 degrees.
These conditions have caused consid-
erable covering and there has also
been not a little new buying on the
idea that quotations for the new
crop months are too low when COM
pared with the prices ruling for the
summer months.
The stock of certificated cotton
here has decreased at the rate of S.
600 to 10000 bales daily, and thus
far this month has diminished over
$4,000 bales. AS leading bulls are
reported to have sold the bulk of
their holdings Of spot cotton, it is pre-
dicted that the stock will continue to
dwindle as fast as freight room can
be engaged. The Liverpool spot mar
ket has been active with spot ami
call transactions Of as high as IT,
600 bales in single day. Manchester
is reported active. The spot demand
in parts of the South has increased of
late. Large sales Of the actual cot
ton have been officially reported here
in New York. According to some
Liverpool people the sales of spot cot
ton there would be larger if desir-
able cotton was avilable. Increasing
reports of the appearance of boil
weevil have been received from Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
The crop is reported to be from two
to three weeks late in many sections
and the plant will be exposed to a
greater degree than usual to weevil
damage. A large crop is undoubtedly
needed. On the other hand the
weather has been in the main favor
able. Crop reports are in many
cases more cheerful. Trade reports
from most sections Of the country
have been unfavorable. The action
of the American Printing Company
at Fall River in deciding to close
down indefinitely has been followed
by the announcement that the big
Fall River iron works, the print cloth
plant owned by G. D. Borden, will
shut down every other week for an
indefinite term. At Charlotte, n. c., a
movement has been started looking
to complete shutdown Of the yarn
mills. Leading bulls have liquidated
to some extent on the advance and
there has been considerable selling
attributed to James A. Patten. The
dominant factor, however, has been
active covering by shorts, large and
small.

we believe, than at any other time of
the year. Many breeders OF thorough
bred stock have surplus OF eggs
now, which can, as a rule, be had
for less than half their usual price
for such quality in eggs. and any one
with little ingenuity and carefulness
about them may raise some nice fall
chicks which, while they may not ma
ture to be quite as large az the parent
stock, will serve very good purpose
for getting a start in a certain line
of good stock, and will eventually
produce as large a line of fowls as
desired. Any one who Is at all famil.
lar with rearing chicks KNOWS how
hard it is to raise them during the
early hot summer months, but as soon
as the season Of cool nights and some
cool days comes on, the conditions
change very materially and eggs will
hatch better and the chicks Matched
will thrive and do we'll. -
Where one has his premises fully
occupied with Matched maturing stock
aud is doing all he can to mature them
rapidly to sell for stock or exhibition
purposes, would not advise Matching

with them during cold weather, for
they are under such conditions being

older chickens the source of disease
such as roup, catarrh, ETC., which nat

will do any good. But as l have indi-

Dairyinq In the South.

Dairying is growing IN popularity
among the farmers of the Southern
states. They are learning that the
dairy COW can do for the cotton grow
err of the south what she has done for
the wheat grower of the north, i. e..
increase the fertility of the soil in ad-
dition to making the most satisfactory
returns for labor and money expended
for feed.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has been giving particular
attention to this question in the south
ern states in the past few years and
great service has been rendered. A
great impetus has been given to the
dairy movement, until now there are
thousands of Influential dairymen
singing the praises of the dairy COW
and demonstrating By actual expert
ments that dairying is the salvation OF
that section of the country.
Certain politicians, in order to Gre
ate an issue by which they might re.
tain ONCE, have greatly retarded the
development of the dairy industry in
the cotton growing states by creating
the impression there that the inter
ests of the cotton grower are opposed
to those of the dairymen. It has been
brought about in this way: Cotton.
seed oil is used in the manufacture OF
some kinds of oleomargerine. This
has been used to prejudice the cotton
producer against any and all kinds OF
legislation which in any way regulates
or restricts the sale of oleomargerine.

government reports shows that
