Editor Hamel. of the Kershaw ^ Era, evidently doesn't like our t cotton mill whistle, nor the whistier, for he takes two shots at , them in his paper of Wednesday, j Hear him: : If Kershaw ever does have a , cotton mill, and of course there ; Will be one here some day. we | e plead most earnestly that it he o not attended with a whistle or v Whistler akin to those attached r to the Lancaster mill. r Then again. doubtless recalling . to mind how the aforesaid whis- n tie and whistler had disturbed v his earlv morning nan while on a w V > y visit to Lancaster, Editor Hamel j discharges the following at the ^ innocent cause or causes of his interrupted slumbers: ^ The man in charge of the Lan- y caster mill whistle certainly en> joys his work of waking the in- j 1 habitants of the mill village, and 1 incidentally the citizens of the i town and any visitors who may t be sojourning there. He evi- { wient^ly must be either without _ - nerves or hearing, or has some i I debt of revenge to pay which can ! ( ^ only be discharged by the pro- i < longed nerve racking blast of t that able bodied whistle, which , that prince of mill presidents. ' Col. Leroy Springs, should have : speedily abolished. ! '* Now, what's the matter with 1 i*i # 1 r that whistle? Its mission in life. 1 so to say, is to make a noise. ' isn't it? and doesn't it fulfil that,1 mission with a vengeance? It's ' \ true that the noise is a loud one, ;' \ can be heard as far as twenty or * more miles when atmospheric : conditions are favorable, but the sound is not unpleasant to the ear, being deep and sweetly sonorous?not.hinj? irratinir. distract ? ? I ing or nerve-racking about it. There was. however, years ago, a blamed thing at the mills here that was wont to rent the air with the most unearthly, uncanny, screeching, hair-raising shrieks, but we kicked so vigorously against its devilish, dam- , nable stunts that finally President Springs and Superintendent Skipper, assisted by Secretary and'.Treasurer Thomson, carried it off bodily in the dead hours of night and tied it out in the distant woods, where it blew its fool self to death, its only requiem ; being the sad soughing of the forest and the sepulchral song! of the midnight owl. Yes. the present whistle is all right, and so is the whistler. They have never been known to awaken the dead, but what they do about daylight these mornings . to sleepy editors and niggers is a . plenty. A big snake was killed on Rock Hill's principal street the other day. Thus evidence continues to accumulate that our neighbor is either a "deserted village" or isn't yel "out of the woods."! First, 'possums overrunning the town, then snakes what next! Anna Held, the actress, says i she has a million dollars, but is not satisfied and wants nore.
