Though there is at the present no conceited action on tile part of the Southern mills looking to a general curtailment of production, quite a large number of them are taking individual action in the matter ami are curtailing. Yes terday's Charlotte Observer states that the Chad .v i( U-l losk ins Compa ny of that city 1 1 ; i s inaugurated a curtailment schedule which calls for the closing of all the company's mills two days in each week for the present.

Xeill's Farm Building and 1 mi Association Organized. Correspondence of The Gazette. CLOVER, S. C, Feb. 28. At meeting of the subscribers of the Clover Mutual Building and Loan Association held last Friday night in the Clover opera house, the associa tion was duly organized by the elec tion of nine directors as follows: James A. Page, M. L. Smith, W. I. Brison, Vr. T. Beamguard, V. B Stroup. L. G. Thompson, H. L Wright, S. J. Clinton and F. E. Clin ton. Immediately after the adjourn ment of the meeting of shareholders the directors met and elected James A. Page president; W. B. Stroup, vice president; F. E. Clinton, secre tary and treasurer. The. first pay ment on this first series will be due and navable the first Saturday in March. The town was shocked last Satur day morning when it was announced that Mr. George M. Stewart had com mitted suicide. Mr. Stewart had been foreman on Mr. Z. M. Neill's place for a number of years. He was a quiet, inoffensive man and the last one that one would suspect of committing such a rash act. .Mr. Stewart arose about 4 o'clock and, a'ter building a fire, went out to feed his stock. At this time send ing a hired boy to a neighbor's house to ask the lady of the house to come to his house that his wife was sick. This we think was in or der to have some one with his fam ily when he would be found, as his wl'e was in her usual heatlh. Mr. Stewart committed the rash act with a razor, severing the wind pipe and external jugular vein. Magistrate Quinn held an inquest and with O. A. Neil as foreman of the Jury. Their findings were in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Stewart was about :I5 years old and leaves a widow and one child to mourn their loss. Mr. Stewart's remains were interred af ter funeral services 'by Rev. W. E. Lowe, in Woodslde cemetery at Clo ver Sunday at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Anna McKeown, of Sumter, is visiting her brother, Prof. Harry Spann, of the Clover High School. Mrs. John Law Jackson and Miss Gertrude Thomasson have both been on the sick list, but we are glad to reiort both as convalescent. Clover needs additional dwelling houses. Your correspondent knows at least half a dozen good substan tial citizens who wish to move to Clover but can't come as there are no vacant houses. Additional dwell ing houses and a good school build ing is all that stands In the way of Clover being a city In a few years. The school building will be gotten under way in the near future and the other things will follow. Quarantine liaised. It is understood that quarantine against the families of Hiram and Earl Burris, colored, who live In the Crowders Creek section was raised yesterday, all the victims of small pox having recovered. There were ten or twelve caes altogether In the two families, two of which were ser ious. None of them died. W. E. Logan and Claud Dockery were yesterday nominated for Unit ed States marshals for the Western and Eastern districts of North Car olina. The President sent their nominations to the Senate for con firmation. The appointment of Lo gan is a victory for Congressman Grant. . VAXCK'S PERSUASION. A IiegHid of How the Great War Governor Once Answered Inquiries. Amerlcus, Ga., Times. It takes a man acquainted ' with religious conditions in the South, with the intense rivalries that exist in same neighborhoods between the two great religious forces of this section, and aware of how vital a part religious convictions play in the lives of men who are oftentimes shut off from any but a very narrow com munication with the great currents of the world, to appreciate some of the stories that are told showing how church feeling sometimes cuts a great swath In politics and rallies for or against a candidate a considera ble following. One of the best of these storie3 is one told by the late Senator Vance of North Carolina and recently re-told by ex-Vice President Stevenson in his book of reminis cences. It runs as follows: As revealing some old difficulties of campaigning in North Carolina, an incident is related of a meeting, with refreshments, before which old Zeb Vance appeared as a candidate for Congress. The leader, had asked Zeb: "Mr. Vance, what persuasion be you of?" Promptly laying down the chicken leg, the chunk of salt-rising bread and cucumber pickle with which he had been abundantly supplied by one of the dear old friends, and assum ing an appropriate oratorical pose, with his eyes intent upon his Inter rogator, the candidate began: "My sainted grandfather was dur ing the latter years of his long and useful life a ruling elder in the Pres byterian church." The gathering now and shaking head of the local shepherd would even to a less ob serving man than the candidate have been sufficient warning that he was on the wrong trail. "But," contin ued the speaker, "my father was an equally devout member of the Meth odist Episcopal church." The sombre aspect of the shep herd, with the no less significant shake of the head, was unmistaka ble intimation to our candidate that danger was in the very air. Rally ing himself, however, for the last charge, but with one remaining shot in his locker, the orator earnestly resumed: "But when I came to the years of maturity and was able, ater prayer and meditation, to read and under stand that blessed book myself, I came to the conclusion that the old Baptist church was right." "Bless God!" exclaimed the old preacher, seizing Vance by the hand. "He is all right brethren! Oh, you'll get all the votes in these parts, Brother Vance." Besides the many good stories In Mr. Stevenson's book there are pa ges of serious tribute and sober memory. FUNERAL OF MR. CRAIG.

Eddie Lowe, Claiming Gastonia as His Home, Gets Into Trouble in South Carolina. The following item is from The Gaffney (S. C.) Ledger of Friday, the 25th: "Yesterday just before The Ledg er went to press a young white man named Eddie Lowe, presented a check at the National bank in this city for $10.50. The check was drawn by Mr. Samuel Jeffries, of this city, and was written with a lead pencil. The bank payed the check 'but 'before the man had more than left the bank, the authorities became suspicious and put Teller Walker on his trail, while the affair was being Investigated with Mr. Jeffries. It was then discovered that the check was for $2.5,D Instead of J 10.50. Lowe was at once arrest ed and taken before Magistrate Phil lips, where he waived his prelimina ry and was committed to Jail. Lowe claims- that his home is In Gastonia, N. C. and makes a fairly good ap pearance. He Is about twenty-one years of age. The above shows the folly of writing a check with a pen cil. This Is the second attempt that has been made to forge a- check on the National hank and both times the criminals, have been detected in less than twenty minutes." Inquiry Saturday failed to locate Lowe as a Gastonian. If this is his home he has evidently been gone some "time. Death at Ozark. Mrs. M. L. Milling died at her home at the Ozark Mill about noon yesterday after a brief illness. Fun eral services' were conducted at the home at ten o'cldck this morning by Rev. J. J. Beach, pastor of East Bap tist church, and Interment followed at Shlloh cemetery. Mrs. Milling was about 45 years of age and Is survived by her husband and four children. As noted In The Gazette re cently Rev. W.'H. Hardin, the pop ular rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church here, declined a call to the - rectorship of Grace church, Ander son, S. C. A special from Anderson to the Charleston Newt and Courier of the 27th 'states that Rr. Saunders Gulgnard, at present rector of the -f Episcopal church at Greensboro, has accepted the call to Anderson and will go there March 1st.
