Majority Of Textile Mills In South On Fifty-Five Fifty Basis Sixty-Eight Per ('out of Mills In This Stale Inaugurate New System. Atlanta.-—Ninety-eight per cent of the “narrow sheetings” textile mills in the United States are op erating under the “fifty-five fifty" maximum hours for labor and ma chinery, George E. Sloan, president of the cotton textile institute of New York city, told 40 leading cot ton mill men of Georgia and South Carolina at an informal meeting here. Sixty-eight percent of the eighty three “narrow sheetings” mills in Georgia, Alobuma and North and South Carolina are included in the textile list operating under the new system, Mr, Sloan said. “This recommendation looking to greater regularity In employment,” Mr. Sloan said, “has gained na tional recognition as the most con servative movement that has come within the cotton Industry during the past decade. Voluntary Adjustment. “Mills, north and south, with 23. 500,000 spindles or approximately three-fourths of the going mills in the United States, have approved this policy of voluntary adjustment downward in working hours which looks more, perhaps to the welfare of labor than any other constituent patty of the country. “The new schedule is of particu lar significance in those mill centers where the combined day and night run has heretofore been from 10 to 15 hours per week In excess of the maximum, now being generally ob served of 55 hours per week for the day shift and 50 hours per week for the night shift, with all overtime including the noon hour eliminated. “This latter provision will now make It possible for the mill em ployes to have their noon day meal with their families and away from the spindles and looms,” Many Running Shorter. It was brought out In the discus sion that many mills throughout the south are running much short er hours than the ‘•fifty-five fifty" plan at the present time due to the general recession in business. In regard to this condition of un employment. Mr. Sloan told the ex ecutives: "Such a policy on the part of the mill in balancing production with reduced demand is highly conserva tive and commendable. Indeed the piling up of stocks during the pres ent emergency would be contrary to all principles of sound economics and harmful to the best interests of the mills, the mill eftaployes and the consuming public.” Sh^lSv Divides On Willis And Calton An analysis of election returns is always interesting and reveals uni que facts. A. L. Calton and Ivey Willis, both of Lattlmore were seek ing position on the county board of education. Calton carried two boxes in Shelby and Willis carried two.

Why Hoover Should Eat on Tpp Mountain Stevenson Secretary Made The Brit ish Eat There Instead Of Charlotte. Yorkville Enquirer. The following letter received from Hon. A. Eugene Hutchison, secre tary to congressman Stevenson, in regard to what The Enquirer had to say in regard to thd proposed luncheon to Mr. President Hoover, the presidential party, governors, etc., on the occasion of the sesqui centennial celebration on October 7th, is self-explanatory as well as very Interesting. I Mr. Hutchisons letter: Editor The Yorkville Enquirer*. You are right,—give the presi dent his dinner, right on the battle ground in picnic style, right where the battle was fought and won, in York county, South Carolina—give him a York county style of picnic —friend chicken, Bethel township ham, 2 or 3 years old, pies, cus tards, cakes and plenty of cool spring water( opt of a gourd). And if the day looks as if It might be cold 1 get Jim Porter to make some coot i cr-soup, like he gave us at the H. F D. dinner on the 30th of May; If that doesn’t make a Democrat out of Mr. Hoover, nothing will. He gets plenty of hotel cooking, and as proof that he will enjoy a picnic dinner, I call your attention to the fact that whenever his du ties will permit, he goes to his fishing camp in Virginia, on the Rapldan and for a few days enjoys oarnplife "One of the best dinners I ever ate was served on the battle grounds by the D. A. R. chapter from Yorkville, two years ago, and It was plenty good enough for any body—president or any one else. The old boys who won the fight, if they had anything to eat at all, ate it on the battlegroudd, so lets have the dinner there also. "The British wanted to eat their dinner at Charlotte, with his Lord ship, Earl Cornwallis, but Camp bell, Sevier, Shelby et al, decided it was best for the British to stay and eat it with them, right on the battleground, and so far as I know I those who were able to eat, ate it I there.
