VAUdLs ME FACTO Its Ad mi cable Arrangements anti Splendid Maelrlnerj—Its Kfflcicut Omcets and Faiclirnl Operatives— The VIHage and its Surrounding*. On Friday la ; ;t we l<>ft Aiken by the South Carolina Railway train, which passes at five minutes after 6 A. M., and upon reaching Graniteville com forted the inner man by an appetizing breakfast at Mrs. Semi's famous Graniteville hotel, of which Mr. Thomas Goodrich, her son-in-law, is now the manager. After breakfast during a nleas-ant chat with several of our friends at the store of Messrs. James L. Quinhy & Co., our attention was called to the fact that the buggy, horse ami servant of Mr. T. H. Ren nie, was in waiting to take us toVau- ciuse. With thanks to Mr. Rennie for iiis courteous attention, we started at once for the neat little manufactur ing village of Vauciuse, which we reached after a pleasant drive of about three miles. Superintendent Rennie reached Vauciuse soon after by the train of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and joining us at the store of the Hon. Geo. W. Turner, we proceeded at once to the office of the factory for the puipose of obtain iug from (’apt. F. W. Stoy, the Secre tary such facts as woald be of interest to our readers. THE MILL. The Vauciuse mill, of the Granite ville Manufacturing Company, is sit uated on the C. C. & A. Railroad, 17 miles from Augusta, and the build ing was begun iu May, 1877, and iu November, 1878, it was completed, with machinery at work. It is built upon a.substantial granite foundation, the superstructure being three stories high and buil. in the most substantial manner of the best quality of brick. It is considered a model mill and is the second of the kind in the South ern States. It was built specially with reference to the machinery it was to,contain, which is very different from the Graniteville mill, or in fact most other Southern mills. Every piece of machinery looks as it it was fitted into its place, and there is an air of neat ness and completeness about its entire arrangements which is striking to even, one who has no pretension to being an expert in factory matters. It runs 10,000 spindles and 316 looms, employs 240 hands and produces5,000- 000 yards ol cloth per annum. It manufactures a fine quality of un bleached goods, known as Sea Island shirtings jind sheetings. The average number ofyards tothe pound of cotton is 4.10-100. About 4,000 bales of cotton are consumed annually. It is run by a splendid water power which never fails except fora few clays, in periods of extraordinary drouth, but to make assurance doubly sure the water is supplemented by a 125 horse power Corliss engine, so that there is never au occasion to stop for the want of power. This mill is filled with the most improved American Machinary trom the Works of the Sacco Water Power Company. The factory is un der the Supervision of Mr. T. H. Re'n- nie, whose office of Superintendent includes both the Graniteville and Vauciuse factories. Everything runs as smooth as clock work, and Mr. Rennie is justly prfRd of the beauty and finish of thqproquet of his Vau ciuse mill. PROTECTION AGAINST PIRE. An elevated tank containing 40,000 gallons of water supplies hydrants scattered all over the mill, this is sup plemented by the latest improved fire pumps, and the factory can be deluged with water at a moments notice. THE SECRETARY. Capt. F. W. 8toy, the Secretary of this factory, is an intelligent and esti mable gentleman, who has been in the employ of the Graniteville Company evtrsince the first ground was broken for the building ofthis mill,making up to last May nine years of faithful ser vice. He is a native of Augusta, Ga.. is 48 years of age and is generally es teemed for his efficiency as an officer and his general deportment as a citi zen. MASTER MECHANIC, Mr. E. L. Pendleton, a Viginian by birth, but for many years a citizen of Augusta, Ga., is the Master Mechanic. He has occupied his present position ever since the starting of the mill, a period of nine years, and is regarded as a thorough expert at his business. He is about 60 years of age, and is a man of high moral character and a useful public spirited kind hearted citizen. We regret that we found him absent on the occasion of our visit. ASSISTANT MASTER MECHANIC. Mr. George Schwartz, r native of New York and about 40 years of age, is the Assistant Master Mechanic and has charge of all outside work. He came Hero when the factory was built and has remained at this post of duty ever since. He is regarded as rt faith ful and thoroughly reliable workman. CARDING, SPINNING, SPOOLING, ETC. Mr. James W. Britton, of Lewiston, Maine, is the Overseer of this depart ment and the best evidence of his com petency is that he has occupied this position ever since the factorv started. He is about 54 years of age and is con sidered a first-class man at his busi ness. WEAVING. M r. E. A. Thompson, a native of Maine, has been the Overseer of this department' since September last, when he succeeded Mr. G. G. Berry, who was promoted tou position in the Graniteville mill.' Mr. Thompson came from the employ of the Peperill Corporation of Bedford, Maine, where he was held in high esteem and has proved his efficiency since taking charge of this department. CLOTH ROOM. Mr. Robert Butler, the Overseer of this department, is about 30 years of age, was born in Pennsylvania, but was raised iu Georgia ami lias held his present position ever since the mill was built. He is considered a thor- oughly, faithful and intelligent officer, and is well thought of in the com munity in which lie lives. THE OPERATIVES. The operatives are nearly all natives of Aiken and the surrounding coun ties and are a well behaved industri ous set of people and the very best of feeling seems to prevail throughout the community. THE VILLAGE. Vauciuse contains about 125 houses of every description and the popula tion will probably reacli between 500 and 600 inhabitants pf all ages. The houses are very neat and the roads and streets are kept in fine order by the Granite ville Company. THE STORE. The lion. George W. Turner, niem- Jier of the Legislature from Edgefield County is the proprietor of the only store. He keeps a large and well se lected stock of general merchandize including drugs and does an extensive business not only with the operatives, bqt also with the farmers of the surrounding country. He is assisted by the fol lowing gentlemanly and intelligent corps of clerks. Peter Parker, bookkeeper and con fidential clerk; J. H. Wise, druggist and salesman; B F Turner, salesman. POST MASTER. Mr. Peter Parker in addition to his * important duties in the employ of Mr. ; G. W Turner,is also the Postmaster of the town, and discharges his duties in a imiuiier which gives entire satis- lioiitoai; win* have dealings with the office. He is a native ^of this county, ami isum intelligent and agree able gentlemen. ; TRIAL JUSTICE AN Mr. T. H.

Smith is the Worthy Patriarch. This division has been established only a few months, but great hopes are entertain ed of its usefulness. These iu brief are the principal facts relatingto this splendid factory and the interesting little community nestled in close proximity to its walls. The town as well as the factory is under the supervision of Superintendent T. H. Rennie, who seems to be on terms ol the best understanding with all of its inhabitants. Having completed our notes, we returned to Graniteville in company with Mr. Rennie and al though late, dined sumptuously at Mrs. Senn’s Hotel and returned to Aiken by the 5 o’clock train after a most interesting and agreeable trip. Vauciuse items. From Our Regular Correspondent. Vaucluse.S. C., l • June 27, 1886.1 On last Sunday at 5 o’clock P. M., Mr. Walker Harden and Miss Ellen Jackson were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, at the residence of Mr Robt. Butler, by Rev. W. H. Horton. On last Thursday evening at 8o’clock a crowff assembled at the academy to bear the temperance addresses as an nounced through the columns of your valuable paper. We were sorry to hear that Rev. W. M. Duncan of your town was sick and could not be with us. ]}ut as good luck would have it, Bros. Arthur, P. W. P., B. Busbee, \V. P., Win. Guliedge and Powell irom Graniteville were present, and at the proper time W. P. called the division to order, aud after a few re marks introduced Brother Wm. Gul- ledge, who inavei'y forcible and earn est manner entertained the audience for about thirty minutes and urged the great importance of temperance societies, etc., in short be made a most excellent address which was appreci ated by those present. By request Mr. R. T. Dean then made a short, but appreciated address, and advised everybody to quit drinking whiskey and stay at home with their families, etc. Then Brothers B. Busbee and Arthur of the Graniteville division made short, but very feeling remarks on this great and glorious work of temperance and related a portion of their own experience, etc., and urged that everybody should be a member of tiie Sons of Temperence and espe cially the members of the church and those who profess to be Christians, but it seems that some of the Chris tians iu this community are afraid to join the temperance division for fear that they might want to drink whis key. Tiie body of Mrs. Clara Rhoden was disinterred on last Monday for post mortem examination and a jury of fourteen impaneled, aud the testimo ny of quite a number of witnesses taken, in fact the whole evening was spent in taking evideuce, and about dark tiie jury was ready to sign a ver-1 diet, but we will not here say why it was not done, at any rate the coroner adjourned the jury until last Thursday at 8 o’clock a. m,at which time the jury met the coroner and eight or ten more witnesses were examined, and just be- forc4 o’clock P. M„ the jury found the same verdict that they did on the first day, which is, “That Mrs. Clara Rho den came to her death by injuries re ceived at the hands of her husband, Kennerly Rhoden.” The jury was composed of Messrs F, W. Britton, Robt. Foster, Robt. Butler, M. L. Scott, John Slaton, Win. Senu, Jacob Moyer, Win, Busbee, Henry Wise, •Tillman Holley, Hiram Webb, Adam Plymail, Janies SteeJ and Emanuel Hydrate. Immediately after the ver dict was signed W. H. Hardin, the Coroner, issued a warrant for young Rhoden and placed him iu the bands of Mr. Wade Samuels, who proceeded at once to Aiken. J. R. Cloy, Esq., (who had been employed for the de fence from the beginning of the case,) gave notice that he would apply for bail. We have other matters to write about but time will not permit.

Correspondence of the Aiken Graniteville, 8., June 28, The Graniteville Relief Ai was instituted two years and their is no organization in this town whose growth has been more steady and encouraging than this, which has forced its way tothe front in the long Hue of societies for which the town is famous On Friday night the Or der gesc a public installation aud an niversary supper. Tbe affair took place in the Masonic Hall and was|of a character that redounded to the credit of the committee responsible for its ceuception and execution Before the hour appointed for the election of officers the large hall was crowded with the members and their families. The exercises were opened with singing by a select choir, with Mr. Noaii Jackson presiding at the organ, who sang with fine effect, sev eral anniversary songs, which were greatly appreciate*! by the audience The following officers were installed: President, Mr. Chas. F. Beaufort; 1st vice-President, W. W. Jackson; 2nd, Vice-President, C, T. Johnson; 3d. vice-President, M. L. Dean; Treasurer William T. Scott; Secretary, H.

After the installations the officers, and invited guestsrthe members and their families were invited to the rooms of the association where a boun tiful supply of ice cream, cake, Lem onade and other refresh ments were served till quite late. The Hall waa most tastefully decorat ed with fiowers and fiags, and the fol lowing mottoes. “We care for our sick aud bury our dead,” “We give help to tbe Widows and provide for the orphans.” Welcome.” “Brotherly Love.” Besides this the charters of all the different societies neatly fram ed were displayed on the walls. The Association may well feel proud of the interest taken by the ladies to make the annniversary a complete sue cess, and those who were present will treasure it among the pleasant events of their lives. We would invite those who are not already members to ally themselves with this organization, which tends to elevate its members and whose principles are benevolence and char ity. C.T.J. Capt. B. R.
