Not a Word of Truth In the Report—
Aged Lady Alto Denies It,
CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 26.—A
special from Greenville, S. C., says’:
“By a vote which was practically unan
imous cotton spinners from North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi, who met here
today, decided to curtail production 25
per cent, or to a basis of 75 per cent,
during the month of August and Sep
tember.
This action was due to the unsettled
condition of the cotton goods market
end to the poor demand, both from
home dealers and exporters. The ques
tion of curtailment was the most im
portant matter considered at the meet
ing. which was largely attended, espe
cially by South Carolina mill men.
Col. James L. Orr. president of the
Piedmont Manufacturing Company’,
presided. The special committee ap
pointed at the Spartanburg conference
to ascertain the extent of curtailment
now existing showed the following:
North Coralina. 60 per cent.; South
Carolina, 26%; Georgia, 25 per cent.:
Alabama, 26 per cent.; Mississippi, 25
rer cent.
After brief discussion the following
resolution was adopted, the voto being
2.183.052 spindles for and 106,096 spin
dles against:
“That the mills present agree that
production shall be reduced during the
months of August and September 25
per cent, by either running all of the
machinery 75 per cent, of the time or
stopping all machinery one-fourth of
the time, as may be most advantageous
to the respective mills," the object be
ing to limit production to 75 per cent.
of normal, and they further earnestly
recommend that all the cloth mills In
the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and Alnbaina, which
are not curtailing to this extent shall
do likewise for the months of August
and September.
It was further agreed that the man
ufacturers would not pay frieght be
yond New York on goods destined to
1 leacheries and that the bills should be
paid within ten days from date of ship
ment or date of Invoice. A rate sched
ule for the month of August was adopt
ed and prices were fixed below which
the mills will not pell.
A committee was appointed to notify
the mills of any changes In prices.
Commission houses will be notified of
this tariff sheet. Telegrams were re
ceived from South Carolina manufac
turers indicating a material Improve
ment In the condition of the cotton
goods market since the Spnrtanburg
conference when new higher prices
were agreed upon.

There Is reason, good and sufficient,
for the paucity of the throng that dally
betakes Itself to the ba llgrounds, and
cspeclaJly for the few ladles who are
now to be seen at the games.
Among the crowd in the grand atAnd

1 "f n***n who Indulge in the delectable
paattlme of throwing cigarette stubs,
peanut hulls, and other heterogeneous

dressed ladles present, spitting tobac
co Juice with praisworthy Impartially
right and left, and giving vent, in the
frenzy of excitement, to gutteml ex-
ercatlons, not too gutteral howevre.but
that the ladles present could hear
them. On yesterday afternoon .one
lady waa pelted with a cigar stub by
some Ill-bred and unthinking fellow.
Others sre subject to like pleasantries
on the part of the gentlemen of the
grandstand. There is little use won
dering why crowds don’t attend when
ladles are subjected to such Indigni
ties. True they are admitted free, but
their presence Is worth considerable to
