JANUARY 18TH, 1914,
A DATE TO REMEMBER

To anticipate a pleasure is perhaps
to doubt it. Because this is Sc, we want
to tell you now of something good that
is in store for you-though you must
wait until Thursday night. January the
18th, to enjoy it.
We would not attempt to tell you ex-
actly what this something good is to be,
for the chief performers twenty or
more of them-belong to that sex about
which it is not wise to make definite
predictions.
But we think we are safe in saying
that they will sing and dance for YOU
and tell jokes, and play on everything,
from banjo strings to heartstrings for
you. In short, they're going to make
you believe yourself in some fairyland,
where the fairies are all decided bru-
nettes, possessed of nimble wits and
other charms.
Then after the minstrel show there
will be short play, and after the short
play Tor between, maybe) specialties,
very special specialties, in themselves
altogether too good to miss.
All this is to be given at Armory
Hall under the direction of Mrs. G. W.
Marshall and Professor S. Cardosa de
Silva, for the benefit of the Emergency
Hospital, of Milford.
Enough said now-maybe more later.

for in the bill to purchase the canal. 1t

in the House by Representative Coving-

push it through. The fact that the same
bill is before both Houses, means that
it will be expedited.

COTTON MEN ASK
REDUCED TARIFF
Mill Owners Appear Before the
House Committee and Tell
of Child Labor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Lewis L.
Darker of the Parker cotton mills, of
r~aanviIIe. S. c., which has 100000
snfrdIes. today appeared before the
bouse ways and means committee,
which is considering schedule 81" on
cor+or manufactures. He testified as
n the working hours and wages of
children in Southern cotton mills, urg-
al the committee to make reductions
IN the cotton schedule and advocated
O further sub division of the CLASH
6cation of cotton cloth. Mr.. Parker
also declared that a lower tariff on
cotton would develop our foreign trade
How many children do you employ
IN the Southern cotton mills?" asked
Representative Hill, Of Connecticut, a
member Of the committee.
About sixth of our employees
are children"
rs there any legal restriction on the
employment of children?"
We can't employ any under twelve
years Of age"
Can't Work After 9 p. m.
ANY restrictions on working hours?'
"They can not work after 9 o'clock in
the evening. This also applies to
women"
Parker insisted that the wages in the
Southern cotton mills were not more
than 10 to 20 per cent lower than in the
Massachusetts, mills. He said the
greatest obstacle of the mill manufac-
turers to keep their help in the mills
was that employees constantly were
improving their condition and leaving
their positions for better places in other
industries
J. H. Fadden, Of New York, a manu-
facturer Of cotton gloves, said that his
industry could stand reduction in du-
ties of about one-third of the present
rate
J. Lysll OF Passafc, N. j., asked
that the present duties on cotton fab
rtcs used in automobile tires be re-
tanned.
Could Stand Cut.
f. NJ Miller, Jr., chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the cotton manu-
facturerS Of Charlotte, ". c., said that
the cotton manufacturers would be able
to stand for reductions in duties on
yarns and cloths, but he said the rates
proposed by both the Underwood and
the Hill bills were too low
S, W. Cramer, of Charlotte, N. c..
criticised the finding of President Taft's
board. He then advocated the appoint
ment Of scientific tariff board, which
would sit continuously and make a
study Of the tariff and change rates
