The Oil Mill. . The Kingstree oil mill has passed \ . the "talked of" period of uncertainty and mar be now regarded as In assured fact. At the meeting of f stock-holders last Saturday a committee was appointed to take steps looking to the erection of the plant as earl? as practicable. Already enough money has been pledged to put in a larger plant than ' - was originally contemplated, and by going oat of the comity enough capi V . is available to construct a mill of fortj tons capacity. Bat it is ' not the desire of the promoters to seek outl. side ^capital. They wish to make * this a "home enterprise" and would prefer to place every dollar of the stock in Williamsburg county. When the stock begins to pay hand' . some dividends, as there is every moon to believe it will, every dollar of profit should remain at home, and to this end everybody who has money to spare, be it much or little, is invited to get in on the ground floor. When the Bank of Kingstree was organised the same spirit was manihy the the founders, but the people - - - - - i -1. iL. lacked taitn to taKe biock ai me start. Now that the stock com' mauds a premium of twenty-five per cent every share of it could be disposed of right here in Kingstrce, if it could be bought; but those who own the stock are as reluctant to part # | with it as the outsiders are eager to 'X , secure it | ? i It will be noted that the same men that have made the bank such a iplendid success are behind the oil mill. This fact augnrs well for its success and unless we are badly mistaken it will prove a safe and profitable investment. Onr people cannot afford to let pass this opportunity of advancing their own interests and at the same time placing. themselves on record as supporting an enterprise that will conduct to the material advancement of K *_. v r inewnoie oouoiy. ?????? A Compliment to Carmack, A story is going the rounds that is eminently characteristic of the present occupant of the White House, who in an uncouth way paid a handsome compliment to 8enator Carmack, of Tennessee, one of the ablest and most aggressive Democratic members of the Senate. RgVr It is said that a few days before Congress adjourned the Tennessee delegation, composed almost entirely ^ v, of Democrats, called on the rough rider to ask for a place on the Isthmian Canal Commission for W S * * Morgan, ex-secretary of State for s> t Twneeeee. In substance the president replied tjiat he would be glad u to take their request uuder advisei y-' meat, and then he added that there 1 ** - v- ' .. Ev- ' ' 4 k ; * **J ILJ 111' l-iL'J'Jr '.' LL"1:' JUL! was one meml>er of the their delegation, Senator Carmack, "whom he wojild eee in hell" before doing anything for him. This exhibition of temper on the pari 01 it xtvpuvuiau |/i^iu\iu 10 decidedly complimentary to Senator C'urmack, who appear? to hare incurred the w rath of the rough lider bv his ability to call a spade a spade when the occasion warrants it. It is not on record that Roosevelt has ever had the pleasure of refusing him a request and he was not present last week when his delegation called on the president. AN IMPORTANT MEETING. Committee Appointed to Select Oil Mill Site and Purchase Machinery. A meeting of subscribers to stock in the Kingstree oil mill was held at the Bank of Kingstree on Saturday, the Yth inst.
