GRADY FINED FOR CONTEMPT
Clush Between the United States Court
and n Magistrate.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 8.—In the
United States district court Judge Wil
liam Grady, justico of tho pcaco at Pratt
City, was sentenced to ten days’ impris-
oninent in the county jail and to pay a
fluo of 823 and costs. The charge upon
which he was convicted was contempt
of court. Judgo Grady, who is a leader
among the minors nt Pratt mines and a
politician, was arrested and brought be
fore court to show causo why ho should
not be punished for contempt in failing
to obey an order issued by the federal
court.
This action grew out of a proceeding
in bankruptcy. Some days ago Kefereo
Trimble issued uu order to Grady com
manding him to show cause why he
should not dismiss a certain garnish
ment. Grady failed to notice the order,
and another was issuod instructing him
to dismiss the garnishment. He failed
to obey again, and then the matter was
taken to the district federal court.

Baltimore, Sept 7.—In 1S97 it was
announced with a great deal of satisfac
tion to persons interested in tho steady
industrial development of tho south that
tho cotton mills of that section had
passed tho 1,000,000 mark in tho use of
bales of cotton. Tho total consumption
by southern mills in that year was 1,-
0-12,671 balos, or about 30 por cent of tho
total number consumed in tho country.
In the year Just closed, however, the
consumption by southern mills bos gone
beyond the 1,600,000 mark, the total
number of bales used being 1,507,112, or
more than 40 per cout of the consump
tion in the country. This showing was
to bo expected in view of tho rapid ex
pansion of mill building in tho 9onth
during the past year, os one town after
another has started a mill for the first
timo, or has added to tho mills already
In operation, or increased thoir capacity.
There has boon, possibly, a slight do-
clino recently iu definite plans for addi
tional mills, although the belief in the
future of the south in this field is as
strong a9 ever, while the support of the
movement for textile training is becorn-
strongor every day.
A gratifying feature, however, of the
textile news presented during tho past
month by Tho, Manufacturers’ Record
was in the reports of the near comple
tion of newly organized mills. There
wero nine of theso mills, four in North
Carolina, two in South Carolina and
throo in Georgia, each expecting to com
mence producing goods shortly. Their
equipment raugos from 2,500 to 23,000
spindles and from 200 to 700 looms and
represents a total of 73,580 spindles and
2,224 looms and an investment of 81..
600,000.

Since tho turn of tho month tho 875,

tho Lowell, N. 0., cotton mill, nearing
completion, has boon increased from
875,000 to 8100,000 for tho purpose of
adding 2,000 spindles to tho original
equipment and it has been decided to
make the equipment of tho Alpiuo cot
ton mill of Morgantou, N. C., 7,000
spindles and 8,500 twisters.
Tho capital of $00,000 for tho Lavonia,

and a contract will bo placed fora build
ing to accommodato 2,500 spindles. The
Winder (Ga.) cotton mill has decided
upon a building two stories blgb, 87x312
