The prisoner dressed in new dark gray suit and wearing his old black slouch hat was brought into court half hour before trial opened. Several friends greeted him and he returned greetings with curt nod, no smile breaking the prison pallor of his countenance.

The capital stock of Mays Mill, Is $2,000,000. This will be In-created to $3,000,000 at once In order to take care of the cost of the new facilities in the way of additions to the mill.

They have been absorbed by manufacturers of fine fancy colored goods in the New England or other Eastern centers.

It is the purpose now of Mr. Cramer to build a plant that will take the yarns from his mill and develop it lrto the same sort of fancy finished colored goods as have been turned out by factories afar, selling the finished product himself direct time.

The judgment signed by Judge Bis Ray in the case said: "It is hereby ordered, declared and decreed that the said Herman D. Shaw is dead."

Mr. Cramer said Friday that th construction of the new loom plant at Cramerton would be begun as early as possible and that he hoped to have the first unit In operation by next summer as the first of what may be a gradual development of fancy cloth manufacture to be undertaken by his company. Mr. Cramer, the head of Mays Mill, has long been regarded as one of the most eminent textile authorities and manufacturers in the United States. For 25 years up to a few years ago he was engaged as mill architect and designer and during that that company heard in Superior Court Thursday afternoon before Judge James L.

Webb, of Shelbv. The plaintiff charged that he had been struck in the eye from a particle thrown from his loom and was asking for $3,000 damages.

DR. COLBY HERE TO SEE MILLS University of Chicago Head Inquires as to Textile Manufacturing Dr. Charles C. Colby, head of the Department of Commerce, of the Un'versity of Chicago, is here Friday inspecting the Southern textile industry as represented in a number of local plants. He is making a tour of the South, particularly that section which has in the past quarter of a century grown from practically nothing to be the second cotton manufacturing center in the country.

Dr. Colby was conducted through several of the local textile plants by Winston D. Adams, secretary of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association, and one or two local textile men. Dr. although he was acquainted with many details of the phenomenal development of the textile industry in the South during the past 25 years was, nevertheless, much surprised at any of the eyi-dentes of rapid development he has met with and with the air of prosperity and content among the mill villages he has seen.

Ail speakers declared that intense vice president of the Southern Power Company. Commenting on the situation which confronts the company Mr Burkholder said that the action was taken now rather than compel the company to face the prospect of a more serious situation later unless the problem is vanished bv more copious rainfalls than have fallen during the autumn. He said that the limited coal sup-ply which the company procured during the coal strike and which embarrassed the operation of the four stenm plants, which are used as auxiliary power houses couplied with the continued drought, have pro-aucetl a limitation on the supply of electricity which will become serious unless curtailment steps are taken now. "TVe have had to draw so heavily on our water reservoirs that the heads have been pulled down to such a point that our generating capacity is ledueed," said Mr. Burkholder, and the curtailment is asked for in order to prevent the drawing of the heads to such a point as to put the water plants out of commission entirely," This is a continuation of the problem which arose during the coal strike, Mr.

Burkholder said. wVion Drought conditions over the area supplying rainfall for the rivers along which are the hydro-electrical plants of the Southern Power Company have become so acute that, beginning next Monday, company officials have given notice to subscribers that a curtailment program will be introduced, official orders from headquarters issued Friday afternoon declares. A full day's consumption varied subscribers have been asked to conserve in five zones that have beei. established.

"TVe are asking all consumers to discontinue the use of power for the period above outlined except such power as is necessary for strictly public use, or for the handling of perishable products or for fire protection," the official notice of the company to subscribers reads. "By your compliance with this request, we expect to be able to get through until the condition is relieved by rain and we sincerely ask for the liberal co-operation of all consumers to the end that it may not be necessary to make far more drastic curtailments." This notice went out over the signature of Charles I.

At that time the drought was severe enough to make it imperative to keep the steam plants at continuous operation and Mr. Burkholder says that th3 company has been continuously utilizing these plants for the past two montns, but the lack of rainfall the last part of the season has created a condition which demands a curtailment now rather than take a chance on having no power at all, unless the natural obstacles are over come in the meantime.
