Mr. Miles Johnson, of Roct
Hill, called to see us this
weeK. He has "graduated,"
n? lie calls it, from the Keeley
Institute at Greensboro, N.
. ., and is high in his praise
of that. Institution. lie says
he went there a broken down
wretch, and came awav a
new man,his health was never
finer than now. lVr. Johnson
is traveling 111 the interest
of the school and would be
glad t o answer anyquestions.

mother of invention," and a
cotton factory for Pineville
had become a necessity. The
stern, cruel, ravenous wolf
was staring her in the face,
and her dangerous situation
caused her to look
around and about her, and
what did she see? Why, she
saw whnteverybody< lsecant
help seeing, and that is that
the soil around and in Fort

factories, and nil you have

mid lier eotf. is unlike ours, it
will grow cotton and a, little
corn, and some wheat, but
you can eow all the factories
you want and you won't get
a stand. ?S'o what is to be
done? Only one tiling, and
that is to qpinedown and get
jt car loud of our soil and
t.iKe it home and build your
factory, and that is just what
she lias done. Last week she
was getting dirt from here.
Oh! you,' can't help but
succeed now, dear sister, and
when your factory grows to
be 5i tremendous affair don't
forget that you owe your
start to the soil that not only
grows cotton factories but
metropolies also.

I a song as when its face is receiving
the hard, cruel blows

the stubborn iron, as it

our citizens. Every where;
and in every direction you
can bear their song. With
