There are already 28 entries in the race. This city has teen the center of good roads in the South and tourists at the time of the durability race will have ru excellent opportunity of test ing Mecklenburg's highways. The motorists will be highly entertained (luring their stay in the city and the following men were appointed last night to secure money with which to defray the expenses of entering the two official Charlotte cars and also the entertainment of the visitors: Ward One, Messrs. John Bass Brown. J. H. Ham and E. A. MeCaus land; Ward Two, Messrs. C. E. Hoop er, S. A. Pegram and W. L. Wil hoite; Ward Three, Messrs. E. B. Moore, Dr. William Allan and J. A. Jones, and Ward Four, Messrs. A. Bur well, Jr., J. II. Craig and J. L. Sex ton. Blue enameled signs with white let ters will be placed along the entire route of the highway and committees have been selected to assist a big Journal automobile truck in placing these stakes. .-... There has been a considerable fight for the controls along the way cf the southern division. The Journal to day has the following. to say of the controls and of the fights by the dif ferent cities ang tee route to control the same: Here are the fortunate cities and towns in the southern division of the national highway that will have the privilege of entertaining The Journal Herald tour on its dedicatory run: Martinsville, Va., noon control, Oc tober 2D.

Commerce, Ga., night control, No vember 2. - The tour will end in Atlanta around he noon hour of November 3, after leaving Commerce early that morning. Atlanta, the terminus of the tour, will therefore be the last noon control and the finish control combined. It is with considerable regret, an rounce the authorities who have made the control assignments, that several excellent cities have perforce Deen ! iett off the list. Winston-Salem has made heroic ef fort to secure the Sunday stop for It self, to take it away from Charlotte. "Winston-Salem has argued the clay's run from Roanoke the rnbst difficult, perhaps, on the whole highway; the facilities which it has for taking care ! of the tourists and the cars; the spirit of cordiality which it feels: and the increased interest which the surround ing countryside, now in the throes of a good roads campaign, would feel in the tour. , But in order to make Yinston-Salem the Sunday control a change in the rules sanctioned by the American Au tomobile association would have been necessary; and this change was im possible, in view of the wide distribu tion of the printed literature about the tour and the number of entries already Klfnor? lirv fn tnr'hav ' ct O rt hp- T5 fore Winston-Salem began 'her fight.

The News suffered the first serious breakdown of its press in eight years yesterday afternoon scon after start ing to print the second edition. " The euilizer broke and utterly put . the big Cox Duplex one cf the finest presses made out of action. The broken piece had to be brazed before it could be used. The result was that the News .did not'get;its city carriers out until about 8 o'clock, acd this was only possible by the fully appreciated cour tesy of the Observer and its press room force; who printed the edition and did everything in their power to aid in this misfortune. It gees without saying that the News keenly regrets -this mishap, unusual, unexpected, unavoidable, and due to no fault in the machinery, which 'is up-to-date and modern in every re spect. But presses, like people, some times 'Tall down." All night long machinists worked to repair the damage, and the News hopes to be able to print the single edition which will be made to-day. If this is not possible, the Observer presses will kindly print again. All yesterday afternoon and into the night the News telephones were ring ing, and its patrons were asking: "What's the matter?" The paper ful ly understood the disappointment manifested and hopes that it may nev er be the cause of it again. Duplicate pieces of the broken ma chinery have been ordered, as a pre cautionary measure, by telegraph and should be heje Monday, though local machinists will have mended the breach before then.

Numer ous congratulations poured in upon Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley today on the occasion of his seven tieth birthday. Admiral Schley was born in Frederick, Md., in 1839 and entered the Naval Academy in 1856. His career in the navy covered a period of 45 years and was one of unusual brilliance. He left the aca demy in time to participate in many of the notable naval engagements or the civil war. In 18G5 he helped to suppress a revolution, in Salvador and six years later he participated in the attack on the Salee River torts in Korea. One of the most brilliant achievements of his entire career came in ' 1884, when he commanded the Greely Relief Expedition to the Arctic, region, and rescued Lieut. Greely and six survivors in the frozen north. In 1891 he ; conveyed the " re mains of John Ericsson to Sweden, for which he received a gold medal from the King of Sweden. His later career, including the victory in the naval ' battle of Santiage, is lamiliar to all American newspaper readers.

Boston, Oct. 9. A gigantic move ment born of unrest of long' standing, is in progress throughout the leading cotton textile districts of the wbrld,' looking forward to general curtail ment of production during the remain ing months of this year and in 19.10. Principal reasons advanced for the movement are the gradual increase in the cost of raw material and failure of the dry goods markets to respond in a way which wouhl assure contin ued profit to manufacturers during the next 12 months. " On September1' 15th, the Arkwright Club of Boston, representing 14,000,- 000 out of the 17,000,000 spindles in New England, sent out to all cotton mills in this district, forms of agree ment for signatures for a curtailment. The proposition calls for a suspension of work for 224 working hours, the agreement to become effective when no less than 7,000,000 spindles have, been signed up. 1 Curtailment has also been taken up by Southern cotton mill owners. Yesterday the board of governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association at Charlotte, N. C, adopt ed resolutions setting forth their claim ; that the present disparity between the price of cotton and cotton goods pre cludes the possibility of successful op eration of Southern mills. - The committee was appointed to formulate a curtailment agreement which every "mill in the South will be tired to s,ign. In certain cotton producing and selling centers the claim is made that the present . curtailment movement i8 largely an attempt to hold down the price of the staple. In carrying out the plan for curtail ment proposed at the meeting of the board of governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association yes terday, Secretary C. B. Bryant will al once mail letters to all members of the association, including the curtail ment resolution, the reasons for its adoption and an agreement which members may sign and return if they ) desire. Unless 60 per cent of the 20,- ' 000,000 spindles represented sign up. the agreement does not go Into effect. The agreement to be signed is as fol lows: - "We, the undersigned, agree to cur tail operations of our mills one d?' or more each week until goods' ad vance to a parity with the price oi cotton. "This agreement is conditional up on signatures by. manufacturers rep resenting 60 per cent of the spindles of the - association and will becom'--operative upon statement by the com mittee to this effect." On the first vote for place of meet ing Charlotte received 9 of the 18 votes present, and then Atlanta, which had Teceived the next highest vote, moved to make the choice of Charlotte unanimous. The meeting will be hebi the fourth Tuesday in May, 1910. It will bring to Charlotte representative:-; of an association which numbers 1,09 :t members. Probably 2,500 people will come here to attend.
