Miss Eliza Mims' studio at her home in north Edgefield has been visited by a large number of per sons during the past f ,w weeks. Being an artist who possesses a very high order of talent, the photo graphs which she sends out from her studio never fail to satisfy. Mr. S. Cheatham and his daugh ter, Miss Wofford Cheatham, are spending this week in the Cleora neighborhood. Their friends have greeted them very cordially. Mr. Cheatham says they are making good crops in Georgia but the price has caused evervthing to be depress ed. The Tompkms-Marsh building to the v :r of the opera house is near ing completion.

About noon Sunday Mr. Daniel Augustus Tompkins died at his sommer home in Montreat. For two years he has been an invalid but his condition did not become acute un til about 1U (lays ago. The inter ment will take place to-day in Char lotte, where he has made his home for the past 30 years. Sixty-two years ago,. October 12, 1832, Mr. Tompkins was born at Meeting Street, his father being the late Dr. Clinton D. Tompkins and his mother Miss Hannah Virginia Smyly. After attending the neigh borhood schools he was sent to the boys' academy at Edgefield, and later he attended the South Caroli na University. After graduating from this institution he went to the Polytechnic institute at Troy, N. Y., from which institution he graduated in engineering in 1873. For a number of years he was em ployed by several large northern corporations. In 1882 Mr. Tomp kins came south and located in Charlotte, embarking in business on his own account. Ile was the pioneer in the cotton seed oil in dustry, being instrumental in build ing possibly 200 cotton oil mills throughout the Cotton Belt. He al B> took the initiative in the erection of probably 100 cotton mills. Mr. Tompkins founded and developed a machine shop in Charlotte which made that city for years the leading city in the south for machinery, factory construction and mill sup plies of all kinds. He has also been instrumental in erecting fertilizer plants, electric light plants, and modern ginning sj'stems. Mr. Tompkins h*s always been a zealous advocate of vocational train ing in the public schools of our country, having rendered valuable assistance in the establishment of ?everal textile schools in North Carolina, South Carolina and Mis sissippi. He was a director of the Agricultural and Mechanical college located at Raleigh, and it was due almost entiiely to his efforts that a textile department was established in connection with that institution. It can scarcelv be questioned that Mr. Tompkins has been one of the leading factors in bringing the South to the front industrially. Without his inventive and con structive genius there would be less spindles by millions in this section and as to the cotton seed oil industry, it would still be in its swaddling! clothes instead of one of the fore-1 most indu trios nf the world; President McKinley recognized in hin a. man who had but few peers, appointing him a member of the Industrial Commission. Mr. Tompkins was also elected a direct or in the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Mr. Tompkins was connected with a larga number of industrial enterprises, being president of D A. Tompkins Company, president of the Atherton Cotton Mills and president of the High Shoal Mills. Ile was one of the founders of the Charlotte Daily Observer and own ed a majority of its stock, being secretary of the corporation at his death. While Mr. Tompkins was eminently practical and devoted thc best years of his life to the material development of the south, yet he possessed unusual endowments in tellectually, devoting much time to reading and study. He was the au thor of several valuable books, among them being a "History of Mecklenburg county," "American Commerce: Its Expansion,*1 "Cot ton Mills: Processes and Calcula tions," ''Cotton Mill Commercial Features," "Cotton and Cotton Oil," "Cotton Values in Textil*! j Fabrics." Several of his books hav*? been adopted as text books in the textile institutions. Besides writing! the above named books, Mr. Tomi . kins also wrote numerous articles for the leading magazines. He wa a strong advocate of local building ! and loan associations, being a largt shareholder in several large asso ciations. Mr. Tompkins' reputation as a constructive genius was nation-wide and the success which he achieved in the industrial and commercial life of the south has reflected honor] upon the county that gave him birth. ?His name will be written high upon the pages of history. Mr. Tompkins was never mar ried. The members of his family who survive him are: his step-moth er, Mrs. Ella S. Tompkins, one sis ter, Mrs. Lalla T. Graydon of Green wood, one brother, A. S. Tompkins, one half-sister, Miss Grace Tomp kins, and one half-brother, W. C. Tom pk i ns. F. G.
