.Local News. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1902. The Riverside Manufacturing Company. Tile building ot' cotton mills through out the Southern States is rapidly on the increase, and Anderson County now occupies a very nattering position in this march of industrial progress. There aro now in operation and in course of construction iu this County mills aggregating 290,000 spindles, and the construction of others is hoing dis cussed by men prominent in li nun ci ni circles. Sheetings aud yarns only are at present manufactured, but it is high ly probable that another decade will lind several mills tu our midst compet ing closely with the New England mills in tho manufacture of liner tex tiles. Quito prominent muong thu mills in Anderson County is the llivcrsido Mill, or, ns it is familiarly called, "the Mc Rrayer Mill." It is located just out side the city limits on the Southern Railroad, which mus from Anderson to Relton. The mill was established ni the year IMO and began operation in February, l'JOl. The mill building is without ornamentation, but construct ed of well burned brick, steel girders, carefully selected timber:-, and is sub stantial and neat. For housing tho op eratives this mill has fifty-three well constricted frame cottages, neatly painted and doubtless much better than many of thu operatives have been ac customed to live in. The interior of the mill presents in neatness, order, appointment of ma chinery and thorough business detail, a uccessful and interesting condition. Every piece of machinery is dear ami bright ami faultless in motion, and all of it is strictly up-to-date-picker sys tem, curding machines, molal deliver ies, used in roll drawing, slubbers, ?i proceed ol twisting, intermcdinte ly frames, speeders, ino shies spinning frames (perfect beaut hrs>. spoolers, !> ?i warpers, twisters and roula. Ai . lhere is now being installed :t i i'lity system, without which no ? in any longer be said lo be strict - ii up-to-date. Ry this system thc at mosphere, which', by the constant whirl of machinery, is rendered dry and light, is supplied with moisture S'.ifhcicnt to produce a proper consistency. This prevents the lifting ot the cotton from the machines, brings it under much better control, and in u large measure stops tho Hunting of lint, which is in jurious to the health of the operatives and is also an item of loss. The work in manufacturing of this mill is departmental, confined to the man ufacturing of yarns ouly. These are manufactured in sizes from 20 to .'{0 and of most excellent quality. A steadily increasing demand for these yarns has come front Xuw England and Northern markets, where they aro used in the manufacture of line dress goods, and from a beginning in l!)01 with 5,444 spindles, this mill has increased to 0,2 IS spindles. The opera ti voa em ploy ed number 170; the power used is steam, and 0,000 pounds of cotton are daily manufactured into yarn. No Church building has yet been erected on the grounds, but a hall :?(> by 50 feet luis been set apart for relig ious worship and school purposes. Ministers from the di Heren t denomina tions-prominent among thuin being Rev. II. l?. Fant-administer regularly to the spiritual heeds of thu people, and the school which is well attended and taught by Miss Hattie McWhortcr, is kept open nine months in tho year by the mill supplementing thu public funds. Thc regular annual meeting of the stockholders of this mill was held on the 17th inst, and a highly satisfactory showing was made for the year just past. Tho ofllcersnre D. P. McRrayor, president nnd treasurer; C. M. Mc Clurev secretary, and J. \V. Roberts, superintendent. Tho directors are D. P. McRrayer, R. E. Ligon, C. J.Rrock, D. A. Letfbetter, R. F. Mauldin, Julius ?H. Anderson, J. Adger Smythe nnd F. (G. Rrown. Holland's Store. i _ j Rev. J. R. Earle had the misfortune to lose his two barns last Saturday af ternoon by lire. The large new* one was struck by lightning and the old one, being near, was also burned. A Jaige (jnanity ot foragi-all he had was consumed. Th?' stock was all saved except his buggy horse, and it is thought it was killed by the lightning, though not certain. There waa only a small insurance on the buildings, ami the les-; tails heavily on Mr. Earle. His neighbors are showing their sym pathy hy replacing the feed to Some ext--nt. We have had tine janis, ami the ground is too wet to work to-day. If the weather is favorable we xv i 11 finish planting cotton this week. Corn is coining up and will be ready to work by the time we can get ready. Wheat and oats are lookiug well. Tile fruit crop promises to be abun dant, which should cause rejoicing. Tho negroes that were drowned on Sunday a week ago in tho river below here have not been found yet, though persistent efforts have been mndo every day, The water ot that point is very deep and swift and the bottom rough, which has perhaps been the mau cause of the delay. Joseph N. Shaw and two daughters, Misses Lula and Ola, of tho Neal's Creek section, were in this vicinity last week a few days visiting relatives. Joe waa raised in this neighborhood and his visits are always appreciated J The news of the death of Kev. Wilton Earle waa received iu this community last week with the deepest sorrow by every ono, both white and colored, for he had the respect and lovo of every one, which ia a far better legacy to leave behind than silver and gold. Wo can hardly realise that Wilton is gone. Only a few months Ugo he preached at Shiloh so earnestly, so vigorously and with such loving tenderness. His body is in the grave and his tongue stilled for?- ver, but the good he dbi in his bric'career will be stars in bia crown ip. tl"ii celestial city above. Mr. J. H.
