C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1905. NO. 49. 9 liff UBI Notes of Southern Cotton Milla anrj Other Manufacturing Enterprises Ware Shoals, S. C.-Another big Southern mill, the Ware Shoals Manu facturing company, is nearing comple tion. Its buildings are now complet ed, the machinery has been ordered and is being received at the plant for installation. This latter work is ex pected to be completed by November 20, and then the spindles and looms will begin to produce. The mill build ing is four stories high, 150 by 277 feet in size, and will have 25,000 spin dles, together with 800 looms, from the Draper Company, of Hopedale, Mass. There wil then remain suffici ent space in the building to double the spindles when the company desires to increase its equipment. The corpora tion, owning this mill is capitalized at $500,000, . and N. B. Dial, of Laurens, | S. C., is its president. J Gaffney, S. C.-It is expected that the work of developing Gaston Shoals,* a property on Broad river, about five miles from Gaffney, will be started at once. This property and other water privileges were acquired by the Gaff ney Manufacturing Company some time ago, hut were sold recently to a company that Mr. J. B. Cleveland, of Spartanburg, is said to be at thc head of. This company had a corps of surveyors at work at the property last week and it is thought here that the work of developing will he begun in the near future. This property is considered very valuable and if prop erly developed it is thought that these falls will furnish water power suffi cient for the manufacturing plants at Gaffney, Spartanburg, Cherokee Falls, Blacksburg, in South Carolina, and Shelby and other points in North Carolina. Nashville, Tenn.--A meeting of the stockholders of the Warioto Cotton Mills, was held on September 30 to consider plans for that company's en terprise. Officers were elected as fol lows: President, W. E. Odell, of . Concord, N. C.; vice-president, Wil liam Nelson; and secretary-treasurer, .J. B. Morgan. Directors were chosen as follows: M. J. Smith, Edward Warner, Joseph H. Thompson, H. G. Lipscomb and A. H. Robinson, and the three officers named. This com pany will not be in a position to make its building ready nor to install ma chinery until next summer, as it has purchased the cotton mill property of the Tennessee Manufacturing Com pany, which is under lease for some months yet, as stated recently. Durham, N. C.-The Durham and Southeastern Railway will soon be running trains from Durham to Apex, N. C., where this road will cross the Seaboard Air Line and connect with a road already running to a point on the Atlantic Coast Line a few miles north of- Fayetteville. This road will be a great convenience to the Erwin Cotton Mill intesests at Durham which have already established a large new mill and commenced the erection of a fine new town at Duke, which ie on the line of this road only a short distance from its eastern termi nus at Dunn, N. C. It is probable in j fact that the Duke and Erwin inter-1 ests have been the chief factors in the building of this road which will be j of great benefit to a section of coun try heretofore seriously lacking in fae I cilities for transportation ofVts pro ducts. Spartanbjyg-g. C.-The Sun Mills willjbpincorporated with an authoriz ?fif^capital stock of $500,000 to build and operate a cotton-rope and twine mill. John B. Cleveland, John A. Law, Walter S. Montgomery and A. W. Smith will be the directors and in charge of construction work and in stallation of machinery. Mr. Mont comery will be president. San Hartonia, Texas.-The contract with Del Rio people and Eastern cap italists for the erection of a large cot ton mill at this place was closed on the 29th and Colonel S. G. \Grimshaw, representing the capitalists, left at once for Fall-River, Mass., where he will make arrangements for work to begin on the building. The plant will cost $150,000, and work is to begin within four weeks. Muscagee.-The Commercial Club is negotiating with the representative of New York capitalists relative to the erection of a large textile mill, prob ably a cotton factory. Marion, S. C.-It has been hut a few. months since the Marion Manu facturing Company began operations with its 5,000 spindles, but already it finds it necessary to add to that equipment. The company's directors met and ordered that 2,000 spindles be installed, and William Stackhouse president, left at once for the North to -buy the new equipment. Memphis, Tenn.-Makers of textile machinery are invited to correspond with tho Shelby Cotton Products Co., relative to the purchase of machinery for manufacturing cotton yarns and blaching that product. The Shelby enterprise contemplates adding a yarn mill to its present plant to utilize the linters and waste cotton, and is pre pared to receive information and esti mates on the cost of the required equipments for the purposes named. Lindale, Ga.-The Massachusetts Mills whose plant is here will make a comprehensive exhibit at the Floyd County Fair, October 10 to 14. The dsiplay will include a Draper auto matic loom in operation, and also the other dc-tails of manufactur? from the raw cotton to the- finished product. The Massachusetts Mills in Georgia have now in operation 514 of the Dra per automatic looms. Burglars who rille safes should bc shot-gunned. Panners Holding Cotton. Norwood, Ga., Special.- Farmers in this section refuse to sell their cot ton for less than 10 cents and art hauling it back home. Less than ten bales of cotton have been sold in both Warren ton and Norwood so far this week, and the buyers are sitting around with absolutely nothing to do. The fanners in this section are all in good condition, and are able to hold indefinitely. Crops are short, about 70 per.cent of'last year's yield.

Columbia, Special.-Two dastardly attempts lo wreck passancgr trains No. 12 and No. 15 ou thc Columbia branch of the Southern were made Sunday morning tyy unknown persons about two miles north of Honea Path. Neither of the attmepts was success ful.

Thc train was brought to a standstill and the knuck le picked up and brought to Columbia. No one was seen in thc vicinity by the crew of either train and so far as could bft learned no clue has been found or no motive discovered that will lead to fixing the crime upon the guilty persons. It was stated by one who came to Columbia on the train that Capt. G. R.

A Prolific Family. The Greenville News spys: "W. A. Curry is the proud grandfather of three sets of twins and all born within the present year. There is no danger of race suicide in the vicinity of Simp sonville at least and President Roose velt ought to be informed of the oc currence, and perhaps Andrew Car negie might contribute a hero medal. The eldest set of twins were bora five months ago. They are boys, the little sons of Mr. and Mrs. Arlington Curry. Two months later Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Curry becames the parents of two little girls, and three days ago Mrs. Brazier, a sister of Arlington and William Curry, became the moth er of the third set of twins in the family, one a boy and the other a girl.

Long Distance'Courtships, Sketching one day in Burma, an English artist noticed a man a little distance off glaring straight ahead of him at some object he could not see from his position. The man sat with the same fixed glare the whole after noon and was at It again next morn ing. The artist had the curiosity to ask an English visitor what it meant. The reply was: "Oh, he is In love!" And it was explained that this was their method of courtship. The object of the man's attentive gaze was a girl in a neighboring bazaar. When a young man falls in love, he has to seat himself at a certain distance from his adored one and wait for her to do the rest. If she looks in his direction once or twice on the first or second day, he is wildly encouraged, and il on the third day she nod to him and smiles it is time to'go to the parents with reference to the marriage settle meats. .
