country round about lor Mt. Zion to at
tend the correspondents G. S. W. reun
ion. The town here was poorly repre
sented on •account of the meeting which
was going on here and the arranging
for the school rally. Among those who
boarded the train here was one bid v who
had never rode on the train before, al
though she had lived near the railroad
tor many years and has iiad many op
portunities to ride on them but refused
to do so because she was afraid, and 1
don’t think she would have ventured on
any other occasion save that of the G.
S. W. reunion. 1 have the pleasure of
introducing this estimable lady as Mrs.
Concord Cullings, Among the others
who boarded the train here for the re
union were I’. W. Carter and daughter,

bered 29 and it is needless to say that a
better representative body and a more
lively delegation never left. Concord and
that it was a trip of pleasure and prolit
in the highest terms from beginning to
finish, and the day will go down in the
history of the G. S. IV. reunion as a
grand success and second to none yet
held. Now thejG. 8. W. should have e-r
added to its abbreviations, as we have

We greatly missed the kind editor and

to those of our correspondents who

shall be celled the greatest.” It also
makes me prcn l that so many of oar

scribers, toll ns that they feel cbip

prize. I f' • i jiko I have done my whole

Mills tn Other Georgia Towns
Closing Down and Operatives
Wili Soon be in Bad Case
It is estimited that 2,000,000 cot
ton spindles or more will be idle
during the month of August a*? a
result of the high price of cotton.
But the live mills of Griffin will
probably not loss a day, having
just about enongh cotton t i run
El'cm through. They have never pur
sued a hand to mouth policy, al
ways laying in enough while cotton
is plentiful to last till the naxi crop,
buying according to their best jtidg
min—which has generally proved
g'od—as t „; when the market should
b j 1 ..west.
The only thing that threatens the
mills at this place is the lateness of
the present crop, it being about
three weeks to a month late. This,
of course, could not be calculated
anainst Ordinarily cation should
be coming in pretty freely by the
latter part of this month or the first
of September, and the supplies of all
the mills were bought on that cal
culation. President Kinoaid said
yesterday that the Griffin Mills
haveootton enough to last until the
stia of September, the Kincaid Mills
until the lOrh and the Spalding and
Boyd-Mangham Mills until the 20t-h.
Tae margin for the Griffin Mills he
considers very narrow, while the
others he thinks are virtually out of
danger of a famine.
Mr. Nichols, of the Rushton Mills,
says they have enough cotton to
last till the 10t-h of September or a
few days later, and thinks that will
be ample.
Conditions in Neighboring Cities
Macon cotton mills, with the ex
ception of the Willingham mills, are
running three days in a week. It.
was reported several weeks ago
that trie Macon Knitting Mills and
She Bibb mid-? No. 2, across the
river, were running four days in a
week.
This was continued until the mid
dle of lass w?eh, when they cut
down to three days in a week.
The cause of the shut down is said
to be the same that prevails all over
the country, namely, the scarcity
of cotton and unprr.fitableness of
running even when cotton can be
had, for the reason of disparity be
tween the price of raw cotton aud
th' price ot yarns.
C. B Willingham, president of
the Willingham mills, said that
they were running sixty-six hours
in the week because they were
fortunate esough to Have on hand
a sufficient quantity of raw material
to carry them over until new cotton
comes in.
Mr. Willingham has just returned
from a trip North and speaking of
the situation in general said :
‘‘Cotton mills over the entire
country are running on half time
and in thirty days two-thirds of
them will have to shut down. The
trouble is scarcity of raw material.
They are all sore about it and nc
body seems to know who is to be
blamed, whether it be the farmer,
the speculator or the manufacturer.
‘‘Another re,ason for mills shut
ting down is the disparity which
prevails between the price of yarns
and the price of raw material. 1
wag told by h mill owner in New
York a few days ago, that he had
jus? bought cotton at 13 7 16, and
that he would lose money by the
operation of his mill; bat that he
would continue to operate losing for
a time rather than shut down.”
Operatives in Need at Macon,
•-The most serious feature of the
situation is the condition cf those
who are thrown out of employment
by the mills being closed.
A great many of the operatives
are f amilies that have been moved
into Macon from the country who
have no means of subsistence ex
cepi their small earnings in the
mills, which for the adult is some
thing iTke 78 cents par day, making
on three days time 12.10 per week
It is reported that many of these
operatives are now lacking the es
sentials of subsisteoce in so much
that it has been discussed to ask the
mayor to issue them free tickets on
the railroads to get out of town.
It is not known whether the Ms
con mills are shutting down because
they cannot get cot ton or because
they think they cannot rnn with
out losing money.
However, they are shot down and
the prospects are that they may be
closed for several months.
What will become of operatives in
the meant’me is a question which
has not been sol vsd. They maybe
allowed to shuffle for *honiselve3 or
THE SUN, Established 1877
the mills may decide to render them
some assistance. - -
It G reported that one mil! owner
was heard to s*y that if he had to
shut down to where his nmn eonld
not make a living that he intended
'o take care of his men.
