Repre sentatives of the greatest Industry In the ceuntry gathered ia theballroam of the Bellevue-Stratford : to-day when the eleventh annual convention of the American Cotton Manufacture era Association' was formally opened and' during the day some of the most vital .features to the continued state of the cotton growing industry were discussed. The great lack of labor was one of the most important points touched on-and the healthy stimula tion of Immigration to supply the la bor needed in .the mills of the Noiih as well as the. South, was urged as a first necessity.: The . Influence of la bor agitators and demagogues, was attacked, and In vigorous terms E. J. Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Immigration In .South Carolina, called upon manufacturers and laborers to combine and ellml nate the "upstart whose sole mission In life seems to be to array capital against labor and section against' sec tion for :;hls own . petty political ad' vancement" v , -. : ; : -'. " ' . PROTEST AGAINST dAMBLINO. Following the session of the con vention and important conference . of representatives of the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges and of the association was , held. At ' the meeting a protest was registered by the manufacturers against ."the ex tensive gambling In cotton Which Is permitted . in the cotton exchanges and insisted that the method of grad ing .the ' stapl now prevalent should be changed. . ) - - ' Heretofore cotton has been divided by, the exchange into 29 grades, and reoentry - there has been a fight on in Mew- xork to require an investigation of the system employed. The manu facturers . insist that the number of grades shall be reduced so that such a wide range will not be allowed. In formation that the New York cotton exchange will hereafjer allow, but 18 grades gave considerable satisfaction. Tho opening of the convention was feonBiderably delayed by a misunder standing on the -part of Mayor' Rey burn, who kept the 2,000 delegates and guests waiting for over an hour before he ; appeared . and opened the gates of the city to them. ' LABOR PROBLEMS. The discussion of labor problems and the need of Increased 'immigra tion was led by Commissioner Wat son, whose efforts to import labor-for the cotton Industry - have brougnt forth cries fro magltators in all parts of the country and ended in the en actment of restraining legislation by Congress. ? He declared that the hour has come for the American manufac turer, and the American laborer with out regard to section, to Join hands and eliminate the political dema gogue wnose mission in life seems to be to array labor against capital, and section against section, without re I I II - - t I.

Mr. McCall ; loved his old teacher and approached the duty of the hour with a glad, heart and spoke words of truth ahd eulogy that have to be heard to be fully, appreci ated. He sketched the life of his subject, emphasized his greatness of heart and mind and laid before the crowd In pictures so impressive the beautiful traits of his character that his words will be remembered for many years. Dr. Abernethy possessed all the qualifications of a , great teacher. He knew what he taught and knew how to teach. And : he had the rare capacity of impressing his own" superior, nature upon every student 'who sat under his tutelage, and more than this, he inspired every modest boy with self-confidence and with a desire to lead a aoble life, ; ' MONUMENT UNVEILED.
