Each member was clad in Scotland garb with funny little caps, gaily colored shirts, short pet ticoats reaching from the waist to the knees red striped stocking and heavy shoes. Various and sundry trappings fell from the shoulders end waist That all presented interesting sights goes without saying. The Kilties will be seen again Fri day. ... . . Rev. Dr. Klncfrid Is Coming.

Ice formed to a considerable thickness all over the city, and it iff feared that what remained of the ear ly fruit -has -been killed. ' From the country comes the information ' that snow and ice prevailed las't night and that prospects for, a fruit crop are anything but rosy. The cold yesterday afternoon and last evening was -ush ered in with rain. Later In the nlghi the thermometer dropped rapidly and then the enow began falling. A strong wind came ; oyer the mountains and the night was made ; disagreeable, to those compelled to tie out. The sur rounding country , was almost entirely covered with snow this morning, while the beautiful" has continued to fall at Intervals . during the day. , Verily, win ter lingers in the lap of spring. The shrtthbery-and trees are in full and half -leaf ; lilac and other flowers tfre blossoming, while the snow covers' all.

Number or Hours Constituting Week's Work Now 64 in Atherton, Eliza : both, Chadwlck. llosklns, Calvlnc, ' Dover, and Louiso aliUa. . Seven cotton mills in and about the city have reduced the number of hours constituting a week'a work from 66 to 64 hours. The changes went into er feet with the Atherton, the Elizabeth, the Chadwick, the Hositlns, the Louise the Dover, and the Calvine mills Mon day. : ; : " Instead of closing at 6:S5 o'clock In the afternoon as heretofore, In the future these mills will shut down at 6:11 o'clock or 24 minutes earner This makes the week'a work exactly 2 hours less than heretofore, there be ing but five days to which this rule applies. When these mills have become ac customed to the new order of things and the condition of the trade Justifies the change, another reduction In hours will be made. It is impossible at this time to say when the second reduc tion will take place for It is Impossi ble to forecast the state of the trade six months or a year ahead. It can be stated with assurance however that as soon as it is possible the hours will be reduced to 61 and then to 60, which is the goal the cotton mill men how have in view.' While but seven of the local mills have inaugurated the new system, It is certain that the oth ers will follow at a very early date. The seven mills making this reduc tion are capitalized at $1,476,000, and operate 2,146 looms and 96,168 spin dles. They are among the most pros perous and equably managed plants in the South Atlantic States. Shrlnem Will Meet at Gato City.
