ed next week, according to notice
posted on the company's bulletin
board yesterday morning. The shut
down will affect approximately 450
people who are employed by the mill.
The shutdown was decided upon
as a measure to curtail production, it
was stated by the management yes
terday. Depressed markets with lack
of sales were said to be responsible
for the decision to curtail production.
C. L. Chandler, the superintendent,
stated that it was hoped the situation
would justify resuming operations af-
ter next week.
No other local mill has announced
a prospective shutdown for the I'M
mediate future, although all mills in
this territory, as well as elsewhere,
report but little demand for their
products.

GEORGIA.CAROLlNA
BOUNDRY CASE UP

Columbia, Oct. 13.-Attorney Gen.
eral Wolfe goes to Washington We'd
nesday to be present at hearing on
Thursday before the United States
Supreme Court to take testimony in
the boundry case, which is before the
true boundry between the States of
South Carolina and Georgia.
Mr.. Wolfe is confident of winning
his case. Recently the Georgia Of
fcials handling the case made an Of
fer of compromise, and this is taken
to mean that they are not themselves
confident of winning. The case was
instituted by a special act of the
Georgia legislature, prompted by the
influence, it is said, of hydro-electric
interests along the river dividing the
Two states. The Georgia contention
has been that all of the stream is on
the Georgia side where streams are
the boundry; the South Carolina con-
,caticn IS that the middle of the
stream is the boundry. Recently the
Georgia authorities agreed to concede
that the middle Of the stream was the
Laundry, if South Carolina would a.
gree to le tthe eastern shore of islands
IN the streams be the boundry. South
Carolina contends that where there
are islands the middle of that branch
the. river on the South Carolina side
of an island is the line between the
states.

SYNOD TO MEET IN
GREENVILLE IN 1920
Million Dollar Campaign Was En-
dorsed- of Offer by
c. E. Graham of Office
Building Urged.

DuiioiuB oESCo'
Bennettsville, Oct. 14.-With
standing vote, which was unanimous
! the Presbyterian Synod of South Car
olina gave emphatic endorsement to
the million-dollar campaign which is
now in progress for the schools of
the Synod by adopting the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the Synod of South
! Carolina, realizing the serious nature
of the crisis of the present hour and
approaching the imperative demand
to make immediate provision for the
Christian nature and training of the
youth of our church is of the opin-
ion that the time for resolutions is
past and the hour for action is at
hand.
ministers and elders are therefore
exhorted to exert themselves to the
utmost and by personal endeavor
public proclamation and prayer to
promote the cause of Christian edu-
cation. They are furthermore exhort-
ed to use every reasonable and right
eous method necessary to secure one
million dollars by the Synod for the
enlargement of our four educational
institutions.
"That the Synod earnestly urges it's
pastors and the leaders of its people
to let no gathering of the congrega-
ticns go without word of exhorta-
ton or prayer touching the success of
this campaign both the churches hav-
ing already been canvassed and those
yet to be canvassed." I!
No note of discouragement has
been sounded during the Synod re-
garding the ultimate success of the
campaign and those in closest touch
with it are encouraged to believe that
a good margin beyond the million
dollar mark will be pledged for the
equipment and endorsement of the
four schools of the Synod. The spirit
of the Synod is distinctly in sympa-
thy with these movements in the.in-
terest of Christian education and the
leaders in this work predict this
marks a new era of educational ad-
vance throughout the entire territory
of the Synod.
Greenville was selected as the place
of meeting for the session of the
Synod next year and the second Tues
day in October was chosen as the
date of the opening session.
The presentation of the cause of
the endowment fund for ministerial
relief by Rev. Andrew Blackwood of
Columbia, was an important feature
of the morning session of the Synod.
The special phase of this endowment
fund which DR.. Blackwood empha-
sized was the Importance of the &C,
ceptance upon the part of the South
ern Presbyterian church Of the Gra-
ham Building at Jacksonville. Flor
ida, which will yield a monthly in,
come of at least $4,000 toward the
support of the retired ministers and
widows and orphans of ministers.
This building is valued at more than
one million dollars.
Mr.. Graham has offered this to +,
the church seven hundred thousand
dollars, of which he will contribute
two hundred thousand. The church
is within two hundred thousand OF
the goal by which the transfer OF
the property will be made. In order
to meet the terms of the offer this,
amount must be raised by December
first and this Synod was urged by

A suit is being tried in Columbia
brought by S. B. McMaster against
the Ford Motor Company for the re-
covery of five hunded thousand dol
lars. McMaster had the Ford agency
in Columbia, and had patented an
attachment to convert Sc inch
tread into Sc inch tread, which he
was attaching to Ford cars in order
to broaden the guage. The Ford
Company cancelled his contract on
account of these facts, and the
suit is for damages on this account.
All cotton mills in Union County
will hereafter shut down on Fridays
and Saturdays for an indefinite
period. About 5000 operatives will
be affected. The loss on the pay
rolls will be about $4,000 weekly.
The ginnery at Lanford Station,
twelve miles of Laurens, has been
given warning to close down after
October goth. A similar notice has
been given the ginnery at Mount
Vile, in that county. No attention
will be given the notice.
D. C. Jackson, a Confederate vet
eran of Spartanburg, attended the
big reunion in Houston. On the way
he had his pockets picked Of more
than $10O, all the money he had,
and a good deal for a spartanburg
man. A collection was taken for
him amounting to $4,000. A kindly
young woman on the train, thinking
the money too heavy for the veteran
to carry about him, offered to get it
converted into green-backs. She
took the money away for this pur-
pose but has not returned. Spartan
burg people should not travel alone.
Hard times have hit Darlington
and a mass-meeting has been held
to devise "ways and means" to meet
the situation. One suggestion made
to relieve the situation was that the
schools of the county be closed so
that the children might pick cotton.
