The Outlook ns Viewed from the Cot* ton Mill?The People Take a Live* ly Interest in the Blsr Enterprise? The Work <.oes on Without Interrn pt ion. The people are beginning to realize that the Jotton Mill is an assured (act.and daily many friends and well wishers ol the enterprise visit be place, and take pleasure in noting progress in the erection of the heavy walls which present to the eye such magnificent proportions. *. Ol. I a^ie IK liiKiuj; nil mc uiuc liu?? .-> utv;ssary to put up the work In the most substantial manner, and Mr. Slrrene, whostauUs ;o high with the architects, is present every Sour to see that the con I ract is strictly complied with by boih the mill company and the contractor. He Is employed by the company, ?nd deals squarly and fairly with all The work has gone on with perfect satisfaction to ill, and not a Jar has occurred. A lanje part of the side walls are nearly ready for the Joists of the second story, while part of the brick work is still below the first floor. That part of the brick work, which is uot so far advanced, will be evened up. while Lhe carpenters are putting up the joists of the second story. The first section of the scaffolding for the smoke stack has been put in place, and the stack has been raised some eight or ten feet. It is to rise to the height or 150 feet. The walls of the mill house are being built of the best brick, aud the side walls are over thirty inches in thickness, laid with cement find lime. The end wall next to the brick kllus is ii temporary wall, which may be removed wneu UK- mm is eniurgeu. Ttie boilers and euglue will cost SlJt,000?delivered. The Draper looms?WO at S185?will cost 3tf,200. These are the biggest single items, but they are the latest and best of their class. The ord I nary loom costs only $60. One hand can attend on an average to about four-and-a-half of these looms, but the Draper loom Is the latest and best patent. One baud can attend to tweuty to twenty-four looms. In buying the Draper looms the weavers will be reduced from seventy to about twenty or less? thus saving the wages of about titty hands? the auuual saving being about Sl-,000 to the mill. The mill house is to be tlnlsbed about the tirst of November, when the machinery .will begin to come in. Contractors are now figuring on bids for building the cottages. Since the adoption ol the Draper loom the number of cottages will be reduced. Instead of building thirty four room <titiages and thirty six room cottages, not more than twenty-tlve ot each size will be built. Ttie mill owns a large tract of land, including more than eighty acres. Most ot the land isbigh and rolling, and will be platted off. Streets will be laid cff, running at right angles. It is the present purpose of the company to build on alternate lots, so as to give the /\noro?luflQ qu mnoh itlhnir rnnm dh l.hpv will need. Tbe houses will be celled throughout Id every room. It Is probable that a branch of the Augusta wagon road will run by tbe mill door,and It is probable that a desirable outlet will be had over the Klue Hill. The grade is not a steep one, and It is thought a good road can be easily enongh had. A connection will also be had willi the new wagon road to Evans mill. It comes Into town near tbe Fair Uround and tbe factory can be made accessible for p.ople who may come that way. In a little while work will be commenced on the cottages. The mill requires nearly a million feetol lumber, and tne cottages require about six hundred thousand feet of lumber. In the construction of the mill house there will be used two hundred tons of Iron. The floor space, including basements, Is over twj.UOO square feet. The work goes steadily on and the cash will not be lacking with which to pay for It. The mill house, with bricks furnished, will cost about 812,000 Tbe cottages will cost probably Sl'2,000 or 315,000. Of this latter item we cannot speak detlnltely, as the bids have not been opened. Messrs. McMillan d* Wilson are busy making brick, and It seems that they will be burrlt-d to keep the bricklayers busy. 2,100,000 brick will be required (or the stuck and mill house. About 150.000 will be needed for chlmnovc a nH nillarc fr>" t Via r*r\ t Innrnc 1 All fVlD In 2DO.OOO will be needed for the ware house; 50.000 to 100,000 will be needed for the 1'resident'n office. Including breakage and other losses, the whole brick work will require something like .'J,000,000 brick. WEST END, Happening;!* and Incident** or a Week Around the City. Union services were held In the Baptist church Sunday night. Kev. Dr. Wilson preached. Mrs. J. W. Thomas of Hock Hill, is visiting relations in the city. The dry weather has about ruined the gardeus in this section. Miss Salde Lee and Miss Ollle Hill came home last Friday, from Hock Hill where they have been attending the Wlnthrop Normal College. Mr. Sam Seal. Miss Nannie Seal, and Miss Maggie Brooks left Monday night, via the S. A. L for Portsmouth, Old Point, and Washluutou, l>. C. Miss Jennie Corrie. has returned from an extended stay with relations, in AtlantaMr. Ed. Kdwards who came home last week from Wollord College, returned to Spartanburg, Monday, as a witness against a negro who burglarntsed his room last Spring. Mr. Ed wards reeorvered nearly all that was stolen irom uim. Work on the cotton factory Is getting on satistactorly, anil the immense size of the building may now be easily determined. Contraeier eagle is putting in none but first class material, und putting it there to stay. The smoke stack is being built, and will be of great height. To give the readers an idear of the size, and the amount of work it will take to complete this one part of the building, let us give some facts and figures in regard to this tall chimney. To begin with there was used between 50 and GO barrels of cement In making the concrete base on which the foundation was built. This base Is circular and has a diameter of "J3 ft. on this comes the foundation which is about 10 ft. high, then the stack 150 it. more, making the total height 160 ft, from the earth. It will take nearly, if not <iuite one quarter of a million brick to do the work, enough to bultld a large house. A very respectable size chliuuey, and one that will cost a ueat little sum. Miss Wey, of I'.runswick Ua., is visiting Miss Jennie and Miss Lucy White.
