A. High tower to Higher Officials of Addison Mills. The following letter in reply to a letter written some time ago by an official of the Addison Mills in Boston shows that Superintendent T. A. iHightower is thoroughly conversant with the practical management of a cotton mill and also knows how to deal successfully with various prob lems as they arise: "I have delayed replying to yours of November 22nd in which you re quested that we advise through what means we have been best able to ben efit the efficiency of our plant during the last year, 1921, and our views as to what phases of operation we should concentrate on in the future in order tQ get the best results along the lines of real efficiency. "In my mind with 25 years of ex perience in the cotton industry, I do not believe.. I have ever felt such dif ficult problems as we are now facing in the cotton industry. It is true that many a man has thrown up his nanda when a little, more effort, a little more patience ? would have achieved suc cess. As the tide goes clear out, so it comes clear in. Sometimes business prospects may seem darkest when really they are on the turn. A little more persistence, a little more effort and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to.glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from with in, no leally insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose. Let us repeat, success must be won. It never comes uninvited, never without effort. "It is true during 1921 most of us have met with many entirely new problems and have solved situations that we never thought could be solv ed heretofore and we have set up a new meaning in the use of ?hese prob lems. By so doing I feel like a great many problems have been solved, es pecially as to economy, labor and the use of materials put into effect. It is also true that we have come to a bet ter understanding as to the value oi proper human relationship. "It has been' my experience this year to learn more fully how to get more, efficiency from our present lay out of machinery. I do not know whether it will be interesting to you for me to say what has brought about our great efficiency, however, I will name some of the things which we have done that have increased pro duction and brought about low cost at our mill in the year 1921. "First, in the card room we have installed hank clocks for which to pay card and drawing tenders by. This has increased the percentage of efficiency of our mill wonderfully. Another great improvement in the efficiency is that we pay our spinners by the hank instead of by the side, also section men and doffers are paid same way. We also have made a great improvement in the weaving department by paying weavers by the pound instead of by the cut. These items which I have mentioned above have had more effect on production than anything I know of. There are other items which I could give you that have improved the efficiency of our plant, which I think are of the utmost importance and that is, the proper upkeep and adjustment of all machinery. It is true each and every machine must be in proper running .order to per form its proper function. When the question is asked why certain commodities have achieved such marvelous success. The reply can be made, there are many reasons, but chief among them all is first and foremost and all pervasive is the con tinued blessings of Almighty God. Second, is the magnificent super vision of the overseers in each and every individual department, and their absolute confidence, the power ful influence and their constant co operation. Always allowing the super intendent a free hand in the carying out of his policies and never for one moment hampering him in his activi ties. This also relates to the president and treasurer from the superinten dent. This is a tremendous factor in the success of any institution. Third, is the matchless devotion, the measureless sacrifice, the conse crated zeal and loyalty of the employ ees who card the cotton, spin the yarn, .weave the cloth and even to the one that sweeps the floors. 1 Very truly yours, T. A. HIGHTOWER, Superintendent. Swaney-Bouknight. Trenton, Jan. 22.-Trenton was in terested Tuesday when a wire was re ceived announcing the marriage of Bertis B.
