I 'h us ed Address llillvmil by Ir. Stiles. , Observer Bureau. 1423 Main Street, Columbia. S. C, Jan. 3. The South Carolina Cotton Munu fteturers Association held Its mid winter .gathering; here to-day. Th tr"erlng wbj largely social and was rimarlly Infen Jed merely for the jneetlng, of those interested In the cot ton mill Industry, exchanging vie.va And having a pleasant day In Colum bia. The- meetlng.-w,a.5 rounded .ill ,wit"a aueleg-ant itaiuiuct served at tho olonlal under the supervision of a local committee, of which Air.. K. AY". Robertson was chairman? The money condition have Hff0i't'd the cotton mills as much a other lines of business, -as the string ency has seriously lessened the de mand for goods. Jlany of the mills that have contracts ahead are experi encing difficulty In having the Rood ordered - out: others have not made advance sales and others are finding ready sale for their goods at prolit able prices.3 Capt. Ellison A. Pmythe. the president of the association, pres ided at the business meeting, but on account of a recent bereavement In his family did not attend the ban . quel. Captain Smythe, w hose whole heart Is in the work of the association and through whose. efforts the success of th,e association Is largely due, sub mitted a report on conditions general ly and made a series of suggestions most of which were accepted. A committee of five is to be ap pointed to consider and submit deli- nlte plans for the establishment of a waste cotton mill plant In the pied mont section. This proposition In, lio nise conflicts .with the Charleston ' AYaste Mill, the idea ibcLng that t.ie piedmont mill should devote luelf to manufacturing end the' Charleston plant more to the handling of the cotton In the original state and pre paring it for shipment. The associa tion feels that It has accomplished ' the establishment of the Carolina AA'aete Company In Charleston and now wishes to take up the establish ment of a plant near the mills, where "a certain quantity of the cotton waste may be manufactured. The advisa bility of establishing a Southern mu- tual Insurance company was consid ered., A committee is to 'be appoint ed to go carefully Into the entire mat ter and to consider tha suggestion of the Southern Mutual Assocliition, act ing In conjunction with the senior mutuals of New. England. This com mittee Is to report at the June meet ing of the association. Serious objection was made to the business methods of the express com panies. The members of the associa tion have requested the traffic com mittee to enter Into communication with the Southern Express Company to see If It cannot be arranged to gel tariff sheets that can be understood and tor these tariff sheets to be mads available to the public. The associa tion 'believes that if such published rates can be sectired in definite form, as Is done by the railroads, there will be less difficulty In the matter of overcharges and understanding rates. The. association will pursue this matter even if it is necessary to car- Ty it before the Inter-State commerce commission or other trlounals, -as the ' express business la quite" large with the cotton mills in the matter of cot ton samples and manufactured goods as well as supplies. The association unanimously adopt ed a resolution recommending to all of its members the curtailment of nro duetlon to avoid the accumulation of goods as far as, may be practicable during the next three months of 2"3 . per cent. The occasion for tills reso lution was that the present quota tions on print cloth, both wide and narrow; show no profit at the pres ent price of cotton and on the heav ier goods there Is a decided losv. The conditions of the cotton mills g?rernl ly all vary: some hsve sold ah pad and others "nave not. Up to this time comparatively little goods has been accumulated iti' this State and hii en tire absence of orders and no demand for cloth or yarns.
