Notes of Southern Cotton Milla anrj
Other Manufacturing Enterprises
Ware Shoals, S. C.-Another big
Southern mill, the Ware Shoals Manu
facturing company, is nearing comple
tion. Its buildings are now complet
ed, the machinery has been ordered
and is being received at the plant for
installation. This latter work is ex
pected to be completed by November
20, and then the spindles and looms
will begin to produce. The mill build
ing is four stories high, 150 by 277
feet in size, and will have 25,000 spin
dles, together with 800 looms, from
the Draper Company, of Hopedale,
Mass. There wil then remain suffici
ent space in the building to double the
spindles when the company desires to
increase its equipment. The corpora
tion, owning this mill is capitalized at
$500,000, . and N. B. Dial, of Laurens, |
S. C., is its president. J
Gaffney, S. C.-It is expected that
the work of developing Gaston Shoals,*
a property on Broad river, about five
miles from Gaffney, will be started at
once. This property and other water
privileges were acquired by the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company some
time ago, hut were sold recently to a
company that Mr. J. B. Cleveland, of
Spartanburg, is said to be at thc
head of. This company had a corps
of surveyors at work at the property
last week and it is thought here that
the work of developing will he begun
in the near future. This property is
considered very valuable and if prop
erly developed it is thought that these
falls will furnish water power suffi
cient for the manufacturing plants
at Gaffney, Spartanburg, Cherokee
Falls, Blacksburg, in South Carolina,
and Shelby and other points in North
Carolina.
Nashville, Tenn.--A meeting of the
stockholders of the Warioto Cotton
Mills, was held on September 30 to
consider plans for that company's en
terprise. Officers were elected as fol
lows: President, W. E. Odell, of
. Concord, N. C.; vice-president, Wil
liam Nelson; and secretary-treasurer,
.J. B. Morgan. Directors were chosen
as follows: M. J. Smith, Edward
Warner, Joseph H. Thompson, H. G.
Lipscomb and A. H. Robinson, and
the three officers named. This com
pany will not be in a position to make
its building ready nor to install ma
chinery until next summer, as it has
purchased the cotton mill property of
the Tennessee Manufacturing Com
pany, which is under lease for some
months yet, as stated recently.
Durham, N. C.-The Durham and
Southeastern Railway will soon be
running trains from Durham to Apex,
N. C., where this road will cross the
Seaboard Air Line and connect with
a road already running to a point on
the Atlantic Coast Line a few miles
north of- Fayetteville. This road will
be a great convenience to the Erwin
Cotton Mill intesests at Durham
which have already established a large
new mill and commenced the erection
of a fine new town at Duke, which
ie on the line of this road only a
short distance from its eastern termi
nus at Dunn, N. C. It is probable in j
fact that the Duke and Erwin inter-1
ests have been the chief factors in the
building of this road which will be j
of great benefit to a section of coun
try heretofore seriously lacking in fae I
cilities for transportation ofVts pro
ducts.
Spartanbjyg-g. C.-The Sun Mills
willjbpincorporated with an authoriz
?fif^capital stock of $500,000 to build
and operate a cotton-rope and twine
mill. John B. Cleveland, John A.
Law, Walter S. Montgomery and A.
W. Smith will be the directors and in
charge of construction work and in
stallation of machinery. Mr. Mont
comery will be president.
San Hartonia, Texas.-The contract
with Del Rio people and Eastern cap
italists for the erection of a large cot
ton mill at this place was closed on
the 29th and Colonel S. G. \Grimshaw,
representing the capitalists, left at
once for Fall-River, Mass., where he
will make arrangements for work to
begin on the building. The plant will
cost $150,000, and work is to begin
within four weeks.
Muscagee.-The Commercial Club is
negotiating with the representative of
New York capitalists relative to the
erection of a large textile mill, prob
ably a cotton factory.
Marion, S. C.-It has been hut a
few. months since the Marion Manu
facturing Company began operations
with its 5,000 spindles, but already
it finds it necessary to add to that
equipment. The company's directors
met and ordered that 2,000 spindles be
installed, and William Stackhouse
president, left at once for the North
to -buy the new equipment.
Memphis, Tenn.-Makers of textile
machinery are invited to correspond
with tho Shelby Cotton Products Co.,
relative to the purchase of machinery
for manufacturing cotton yarns and
blaching that product. The Shelby
enterprise contemplates adding a yarn
mill to its present plant to utilize the
linters and waste cotton, and is pre
pared to receive information and esti
mates on the cost of the required
equipments for the purposes named.
Lindale, Ga.-The Massachusetts
Mills whose plant is here will make a
comprehensive exhibit at the Floyd
County Fair, October 10 to 14. The
dsiplay will include a Draper auto
matic loom in operation, and also the
other dc-tails of manufactur? from the
raw cotton to the- finished product.
The Massachusetts Mills in Georgia
have now in operation 514 of the Dra
per automatic looms.
Burglars who rille safes should bc
shot-gunned.
Panners Holding Cotton.
Norwood, Ga., Special.- Farmers
in this section refuse to sell their cot
ton for less than 10 cents and art
hauling it back home. Less than ten
bales of cotton have been sold in both
Warren ton and Norwood so far this
week, and the buyers are sitting
around with absolutely nothing to do.
The fanners in this section are all in
good condition, and are able to hold
indefinitely. Crops are short, about
70 per.cent of'last year's yield.

TWO ATTEMPTS AT WRECKING
Train From Greenville Knocks Ob
struction From the Track and the
Next Train Finds it Replaced.
Columbia, Special.-Two dastardly
attempts lo wreck passancgr trains
No. 12 and No. 15 ou thc Columbia
branch of the Southern were made
Sunday morning tyy unknown persons
about two miles north of Honea Path.
Neither of the attmepts was success
ful.
Train No. 15 which leaves Columbia
at 7 o'clock in the morning, struck a
piece of iron known in railroad par
lance as a bumper knuckle, which had
been placed oil the rail, and knocked
the iron from thc track. No damage
.as done and the train proceeded to
belton, where trains 12 and 15 meet.
The engineer of the train from Green
ville was told of what had happened
and cautioned to look out for the ob
struction. He acordingly slowed his
train down when he approached the
spot where the obstruction had been
clashed aside by the first train and
found that it had been replaced by the
would-be wreckers. Thc train was
brought to a standstill and the knuck
le picked up and brought to Columbia.
No one was seen in thc vicinity by
the crew of either train and so far
as could bft learned no clue has been
found or no motive discovered that
will lead to fixing the crime upon the
guilty persons. It was stated by one
who came to Columbia on the train
that Capt. G. R. Willis who is the
a?ent of the Southern at Williamston
was at Honea Path and went, accom
panied by several others to the place
to search for evidence and if possible
to locate the person who placed the
iron on the track.

A Prolific Family.
The Greenville News spys: "W. A.
Curry is the proud grandfather of
three sets of twins and all born within

of race suicide in the vicinity of Simp
sonville at least and President Roose
velt ought to be informed of the oc
currence, and perhaps Andrew Car
negie might contribute a hero medal.
The eldest set of twins were bora five
months ago. They are boys, the little
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Arlington Curry.
Two months later Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Curry becames the parents of
two little girls, and three days ago
Mrs. Brazier, a sister of Arlington

Long Distance'Courtships,
Sketching one day in Burma, an
English artist noticed a man a little
distance off glaring straight ahead of
him at some object he could not see
from his position. The man sat with
the same fixed glare the whole after
noon and was at It again next morn
ing. The artist had the curiosity to
ask an English visitor what it meant.
The reply was: "Oh, he is In love!"
And it was explained that this was
their method of courtship. The object
of the man's attentive gaze was a girl
in a neighboring bazaar. When a
young man falls in love, he has to seat
himself at a certain distance from his
adored one and wait for her to do the
rest. If she looks in his direction
once or twice on the first or second
day, he is wildly encouraged, and il
on the third day she nod to him and
smiles it is time to'go to the parents
with reference to the marriage settle
meats.

The Vizier-"Pardon me, your high

The Sultan-"A vnse servant antici

The Vizier-"Had: I anticipated the
danger, your highness, J would have
prevented the throwing of the deadly
miss?le."
The Sultan-"Then you are not

The Vizier-"No, your highness."
The Sultan, smiling-"In that case
you have not anticipated the fact that
I am about to fine you twenty purses
