Tbe Literary Club. ine Jjlierary viuo met ismt r riaay nmm a the beautiful home of Mr. J. C. Ellis, where i cordial welcome awaited all who came. Thi meeting was a lull one, Mr. B. D. Barksdali being president. W. C. McGowan. Esq., wa essayist. He chose for his subject: "Obedl euce to Law," aud read an Interesting paper being the same speech which he delivered a l Dae West several years ago on a commence ment occasion. As the title of his pauer indl cated, he urged the necessity of obedience u law, the necessity lor an Intelligent citizeu ship to be acquainted with the law. He e? peolally urged the Importance of a knowl edge of what the law really Is, if the citizen ever hopes to take an active part In the forillation of the laws or in the administration of the government. Nearly every ^resldeni of the Lnited States was a lawyer; the LeglS' iature was largely composed of lawyers and the deliberations of that body were generally controlled by lawyers. A good lawyer, the essayist said, was an exemplar of Ibo highest traits of character, either as citizen, statesman or Christian. He inveighed against the popular prejudice which existed against lawyers in the minds of the more ignorant mass?fi. The "essay was very much enjoyed" by the members, some of whom added thoughts which had been suggested bv the essay. The sapper was a bountiful one, served Id the handsomest manner. The next essayist is Mr. G. \V. Lomax. Unclaimed Letters. Letters remaining In Abbeville. S. C., post office for week ending January 14tb : B?Miss Rebecker Brown, Miss Isabel Bradley.

I, : -B NEWEY COTTON MILLS, Facts Which May be of InlercHt s the NtocKlioltlern of Hie Abbevl Cotton Mill. [New York Tribune, December 27, 1S95. 3ur Seneca, S. C.?Nothing is mt significant of the charge which t Lhe^ South ha9 experienced than the lai and varied manufacturing intere ilz- which are being established there, a Al: perhaps the most important of all the cotton spinning and weaving ute dustry. The Cotton States are no lc ger merely the States in which cott oer? is raised ; they are in yearly increasi im- extent, also manufacturers of t >ur staple. In natural advantages for tl n0 work, in completeness of plant and irr- provision for the com fort of the ope of tives the South has to show not a fi establishments which can fairly rr be similar mills and mill villages in Ne '?r England. One of these typical Soul rsf ern mill villages is that of the Coi Lb- tenay Manufacturing Company, fc miles from here, at Newry, S. C., wht a little over two years ago was u tb broken forest. This company is cc trolled entirely by Charleston menai er| operated with Charleston capital. J President and Treasurer, William rn Courtenay, well-known in the di iie goods district of New York city, w re- Mayor of Charleston for eight yea "r ' ' !-J -c ? f ills periuu ui service luuuuiug i 6]g trying time of the earthquake whi >ie wrought such havoc in that city; ai ch he was also in business there for mai years. The directors are all men weight in the financial world. One them, Fraircis S. Pelzer, is the larg< ld siugle mill-owner in South Caroliu; R. G. Rbett and VV. B. Smith Ha ia wood represent the estate of W. g Smith, who was a Charleston millic aire, and Edwin L. Frost, the remai ry ing director, is a member of the lar 'a cotton house of Frost & Co., Charl e ton. ?f WHAT IT COST TO ERKCT THE BUIL )D IXGS. ,a Mr. Courtenay, in discussing to-d the establishing of his mill and t "g cost, said : "The site of the mill and villa ae was on May 1, 1893, covered with for< a trees?oak, chestnut, pine and maple and a space had first to be cleared 1 their erection, The company ow e? 500 acres of laud, on both sides of tl 5ii Little River, for a distance or t\ 38 miles; so the supply of lumber w [ii practically unlimited, and whatev of was needed in the construction of t al cottages and as beams or flooring 1 the mill and ofliees was sawed at tl Re neighboring sawmills and deliver here at $7 a thousand. The clay < ,ls the spot furnished material for exci ie lent brick, which were manufacturi 8S here and used in the mill. The brie were made at a cost of $3.50 a thou s and. and the costof laying them in tl rs mnlln ?>ao tQ SO a fhniioan^ Tl W ?4113 ?T ao yu?wv U VL1VUUMU v. ? in extensive stone-work in the river?tl -e- dam, the buttresses and the oth [y parts?is all granite, which wa9 blast to out of the ground at almost the ve si- spot where it was to be used to sto '? up the water; thus it cost nothing t ' ' securing or transporting it. All t unskilled labor was done by color men, who received from 75 cents to$i da.y." SD This model village, as it stands I day, consists of a series of nearly six JS" cottages, in four rows ; with plenty 1(j ground around each house, and tl unle-nnd-a-half track which joins t ;a- Southern Railway at Courtenaj Junction running through the midii at of the place ; the general store, tl market aud ice-hous6, the office buil ing, the five cottou warehouses, bu according to the standard insuran requirements, with high brick par to tions between every pair of compa ments, and the mill. This big stri ? ture is 250 teet long, and four stories, sixty-five feet high, with a tow ninety feet in height. In it are 16,5 >e spindles and 550 looms. Allthecott m used in this mill, 3,500 bales a year, ls" raised within a radius of twenty mil the farmers bringing their own oa in their own wagons and selling th< se nroduct directly to the mill. It is Pit . raont cotton, which is considered t best upland cotton raised. FROM RAW COTTON TO SHEETINGS , Entering the mill, one sees m opening the bales and feeding the c tou to the picking raachiue, wbi T. blows it in flakes up a sort of inclin wodden flume to the carding roo Standing next to the "picker" is an IE genious little machine to which e11 small boy feeds the waste and whi L,)- saves enough every day to pay go irl interest on its cost. In the cardi room the doubling process begii er- Cotton spinning is essentially aproc he of continual doubling and dmwi out, and the threads which go to ma up the product of a loom in the Cou llb euay mill have been doubled 96,( times before reaching the loom; this believed to be greater doubling than IX practiced in any other Southern m ru the carding room all the trash a leaves are removed from the cottc which is carded out into a sheet, whi lv" in turn, by the operation of otl dB> mechanism, is pressed into a rope ' cotton as thick as one's thumb. Th< of are twenty-eight carding machiu :be Another machine presses twelvs thfisft rones or strands into one. tb four of the twelve-strand ropes i united, the same process being tw repeated with the resulting stran The fibre is pretty weak by this tic ? and the strand is put through t "clubber," which twists it, and afi 13 that through a long series of rovi ' bobbins. The neat and bright faced young v men and the intelligent-looking m seem not to mind the noise any m >m than do the men and women in I ' ~ Northern factories, aud work with f deftness apparently little inferior that of those operatives. The contents of the roving bobb are spun into yarn, the threads bei doubled several times aud finally r off' into big spools, which are arranj on a double rack, six feet higher, two sides coming together at an an of about forty-five degrees, and ! ND threads being run thence into ac- warping machine, a ponderous thi JOn but so delicately adjusted that knAnlrinrr rtf o oSnnrlo hl'QoH TITi 1 1 o . to Uicaivtll^ Vl ? oiUjjiw HXIVW14 "UI a ielr it almost instantly. From the wa iro. ing machine the fabric goes throe /ice several processes, until soon there lce. more than 3,000 threads on a cylinc ith- or "beam." The cotton then, unrol ;ac. from the "beam," passes through 1 d6. ter mixed with corn starch whi gives it the necessary sizing; then is subjected to extreme heat and, cc ing out dried and rolled on auotl cylinder, is ready for the loom. s- IN THE BIG LOOM ROOM. In the great loom room upstairs 540 machines, with their "harne am- frames working alternately up i has down in the warp of the cloth, and tor finished produce gliding out in the broken flow. In another room final touches are given?the sewing machinery of the sheets, from several looms and the running of continuous sheet through a mach j d0 combining shear and brush, cleanin best of all imperfections; then througl thiy calendering machine which gives cloth a smoth finish, then to folding machine, where the se\ \ . seams are ripped apart and theseparat lengths, about 120 yards each are folc ed and afterward baled, over 2,0C M0 yards to the bale. This completes tb e process, and then the goods are read to be shipped to the bleachery, : sheetings made with two "harnesses; or to the dye-house, if made with thre .lie "harnesses " in which case they ar 8e twills, designed for use as coat lining 9ts The twill made here is the first pr< . duced in the South, having tape se .18 vage, which prevents tearing by tb in" tentering machine in the dye-house. )n~ The mill is fitted up throughoi on with the latest improved machinery and in that it has no small advantag over many small competitors in Ne< . England. There are, of course, ant< 10 matic sprinklers and filled fire bucket ra" in every room, for the millman dread fire above everything else. Downstaii 'al is a 800-light Edisou dynamo, whic v/~ supplies the mill, the offices aod tb store : aod close to this room is tbe r< Jr" pair shop, which is fitted up with a ^ur sorts of supplies, as Newry is far froi jre any large center of trade. Then thei in" are improved systems of heating c ,n" cooling the mill, an apparatus supplj P ~ lug not air in winter ana coja air 1 Vs summer, and of moistening the air i _ the loom room, water being thrown ou 'y* as fine ppray by the aerophorsystem. as rg HOW THE POWER IS SUPPLIED he Away downstairs the power is local cb ed. Here, inclosed in steel cases, ar ad three turbine water-wheels, which suj y ply GOO horse-power, although the mi of requires only a little over 500. Thes of wheels are arranged horizontally it >st stead of perpendicularly, as in the ol a ; style, and they have no gearing. Tb ,y- power is conveyed to the various flooi ?. by a series of fourteen transmissio m- ropes, passing over the big groove^ n- wheels adjacent to the turbine wheels ge A certain amount of steam is necce* eB- sary for supplying warm air in winte and for keeping Lot the "slasher," th D_ sizing machine; so the mill has tw furnaces, which develop boiler pre? sure up to 160 horse-power. ay The dam, just outside the building he confines the waters of the Little Rivei a stream which takes its rise in tb ge Blue Ridge Mountains, twenty-fiv 'St miles away. This dam, which is bull ? of granit rests on heavy stone buttra ' ^/ - - a t 9 t- 1 OA C U 1 ~ ~ of see. it is z% i-z ieet nign, iou iwt iuu ns on the convex line, and 18 feet wide a be the base and 6 at the top. Thebuttrei vo sea are massively built, as is also th as canal. A MODEL MILL VILLAGE. or The mill employs about 340 persona be men, women and children. They ear ed from 40 cents to $3 each in a workin an day of eleven hours ; and the con: el- pauy's pay roll is nearly $100,000 3d year. These 340 persons represent a: b9 aggregate population of between 80 is- and 900 in the vllage. These peopl 3e are lodged in about sixty cottages, al tie lathed and plastered, neatly paiute ie inside and outsde and attractive in af er pearance. Each cottage has runnin ed water, supplied from a 130,000-gallo ry reservoir on the top of a high hill ovei re looking the village; and an excellec or sewerage system is also in operatioc be gome of the houses have eight room: ed uome six, and a few of the latter ar I a go arranged that they can be divide each into two three-room cottagei to- giving accommodation for a family c ty two persons. The erection of such in of proved houses has had the effect c he drawing to the service of the Courtena, he Manufacturing Company a superic r's class of operatives, who appraciate th He comforts afforded by such a village be All of them are Southerners, and it i d- the testimony of Mr. Courtenay an ilt bis Superintendent that they are er n.P firalir uafiafnntnru wnrkflrs. ti- In addition to the cottages, the con rt- pany operates in a big brick building ic- general store, where are sold, at almos or cost price a wide raDge of househol er goods.

THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY IN 3 SOUTH CAROLINA. If Mr. C'ourtenay has great faith In the future cf cotton manufacturing in this ? State. He said, in course of conversaae tion on the subject: "The Northern operatives will un" doubtedly turn out more product than the Southerners, as they are more styl* ~ jui ana nave Deen a great deal longer >r employed at it. Southern mills, however, have advantages in cheaper labor n for building and, in the closeness at " hand of buildiDg materials. The lt The South Carolina mills will average 7 to 12 per cent, yearly. , ?* ( '? No difficulties in your case can baffle > Him.
