This is strict y a hosiery mill-nothing else ia manu factured. The mill is a double story wooden structure, 84x30 feet, aud is equipped with all the modern appli ances aud machinery necessary to the completion of first-class goods. In ad dition to the dyeing, drying aud singe ing rooms anti thu revolving wringer, there are 27 ribbing machines, 20 knit ting uiuchiues and 10 loopers. This amount of machinery gives u capucity ot'200 dozen pairs of hose per da). The machines ure beautiful iu construction and remarkable in adjustment. The many different motions they make, un aided by operatives in tho accomplish ment of tho work for which they ure designed, is truly wonderful. '1 he Manager, W. A. Power, siiys they are simply making a beginning now, us the operatives secured so far have to be trained. He prefers to secure opera tives hore at home, even if it be neces sary to train them. The mill will work Ut tv operatives when tully under way, and there is now an opening for twen ty-live bright girls at this mill. The mill throughout is cteun and neat, the machinery almost noiseless, the work light und it is in uo respect au undesira ble place to work. The floor space of this mill is sufficient for the placing of machinery which will give a daily out put of :.oo dozen pairs. This knitting mill is a great addition tc the cotton industry of our city, and the conversation had with Manager Powep developed the fact that this in dustry makes rc ?essary the develop ment, here in Anderson, of a kindred industry. The yarn used in manufac turing hosiery differs materially from the yarns spun fot the manufacture of cloth. The former must be soft and loosely spun in order to give the soft, smootho finish demanded in hosiery; the Ia .ter is hard and would notanswer at ali. None of our mills are t quipped for tho manufacture of hosiery yarn; indeed, itu manufacture requires ma chinery altogether differetit to the spinning frames uow used. A spinning machine kuowu us ?i "muli!" must hi used. In cloth mills these mules have long since been supplanted by ring spinning machines. The Corona Mill will soon be using 1,000 pounds of this yarn per day, and their experience already has beeu that it is difficult to rauko contracts for thu amount needed, the mills making it claiming to be nuable to till their or ders. Why should Auderson not en gage iu the manufacture of this yarn? A. demand for one or two thousand bounds per day hereat home would not be n bad start for u business which would soou be spreading out in every directiou. The Corona mill is bleated near the Southern freight depot, across the street trout the bull ground*. The efhei? ur Superintendent ia E L Hol land, nf 1'liiladHphiu, lou oiiginully I'rotn li- stuiv vi .Vniue. Anderson Cotton Mill No. 2. Aller ijiug idle for nearly 12 mont h;*, due to the want of electrical power, mill No. 2 of the Andeison l"otton Mills presents a busy scene once more. Nearly all of the machinery of this enormous mill is now iu operation. Some changes iu the positiou of the machinery are yet tobe made and addi tional machinery started up, but that already in operation is almost bewil dering to the uninitiated visitor. To see on one floor, in perfect line, eighty 45 inch cards, aud spinning machines aggregating 41,000 spindles, and on another floor, perfectly hued up, 1,000 looms, and all in operation and perfect ly performing the work for which they -were designed, isa highly interesting sight. This is Anderson's largest mill, and, under the control of Superinten dent Cumnock, has undergone some interesting changea. The interior of the building has been nowly painted. The walls are white with a broad scar let base next to the floor. The paint ing overhead is also white, , but the ?h H ft in fi hangers, humidifyers and all piping is in delicate green. The floors ax- ">."rt'ecily clean, the machinery as bright HS when first put in, and there isa to> il absence of flying lint. The humid i tyers*work perfectly and there is no scai city of them. Changes have been made in the grouping of tho ma chines and such changea made in theil adjustment as waa necessary to tho manufacturo of different aud finer tirades of cloth. ( i noils aro now manu factured the warp of which it? size HO yarn and M to 43 tillinc. Much of it in Convertern cloth and vuries in width from 72 to 80 inches. Several patterns of dimity are manufactured, and tli entire product ot the mill pusses through the hands of t ho bleachers he fore heing n ady tor market. One of th? interesting points of this mill is to see the long lines of 170 spin ning machines in operation and thc total absence of shafting and heit i nj:. This is accomplished by the usc of 85 electrical motors, one to every two spurning frames. In two weeks from now (here will be 200 spinning frames and 100 of these motors. Another interesting point connected with this mill is tho absence of child operatives. None appear to he under thc age of IM or 20. When questioned as to this. Superintendent Cumnock re marked that his experience with child labor had not been satisfactory; that the cost ot looking after it was an ?ffnet to all saving in wages, and tint grade of work performed hy them was unsatisfactory; that he is carefully se lecting his operatives and is doing everything in his power to make their surroundings in thu mill neat, comfor table ami pleasant. This mill is now using 1.300 electrical horse-power. In a few ?lays it will be incrt'iiMi d to 1,800 horto-power, ?nd then the mill will be up to its full capacity. In mill No. 1. which forms the other part of the Anderson Cotton Mills changes have also been made, which uro designed to be moro convenient and economic. Taken altogether? these ar? perhaps the best equipped mills in the South. Daughters of the Confederacy End 7th Annual Convention. In spite of bad weather and muddy streets the 71ti annual Convention of the I'. 1). C. has passed into history as a highly important ami satisfactory oc casion to the noble women who were present a? delegates, and as a social event long to bo remembered by Aii dersoiiinns. The weather was not per mitted to interfere in the least with the work in hand nor with the program of entertainment decided upon by our appreciative citizens. Wednesday morning broke clear and bright as if casting a benediction upon the work of love w hich had begun un der such unfavorable conditions. Hy ll o'clock tho convention had assem bled in the Court room and entered upon the discussion of business mat te's. Reports were received and dis posal of with prompt ness, interesting papers were read and appropriations made for various purposes. Miss Mary ^oppenheim, chairman of the State Historical Committee, a gifted lady, road to tho Convention a carefully pre pared address teeming with matters of interest and importance on the work being done by herself and associates in collecting historical dat? covering the period of the Confederacy. This ad dress was referred to by many who heard it as being the best delivered during tho Convention. Tho session lasted until after the luncheon hour. There was much important business to dispose of before the election of offi cers for another year and the majority were determined to linish it. Motions to adjourn were promptly voted down. The hour approncheu very nearly to 3 o'clock when au adjoin nine ut was reached. The result of the election of new otli cers was as follows : President, Mrs. James Conner, of Charleston; First Vice 1'iosident, Mrs. Martha Orr Patterson, of Greenville; Second Vice President, Jl/rs. J. H. White, of Johnston; Third Vice Presi dent, Mrs. Robert Wright, of New berry; Fourth Vice President, Mrs. Lula Ayer Vandiver, of ll. E. Leo Chaptor, Anderson; Recording Secre te tary, Miss Margret Evans, li. E. Lee Chapter, Anderson ; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. J. G. Shannon, Jr., of Camden; Treat irer, Miss Eulalee Izler, nt HlacKville; Auditor, Mrs. Rufus Pant, of Dixie Chapter, Anderson. The following appropriations were made: For Woman's boon, $100; for Wade Hampton monument, $50; for Jefterson Davis monument fund, $10. Tho closing event waa a banquet at night by the Dixie Chapter, to which the Convention, the R. E. Lee Chapter, the Veterans and the Sons of Veterans were invited, lt waa held at the old building on the crest of University hill, which became BO closely i den ti tied with the history of tho Confederacy during t ho last years of the war and the first of tho reconstruction period. In this building the dies and machinery for stamping Confederate money were de posited t'o.i safe keeping wheo tho enemy was on the eve of invading the State, and from this building they wero takeu by the enemy and shattered and scattered over t hesurrounding grounds. Ic was in this building the enemy was quart? .ed immediately after the sur render, whose presence was intended to intimidate und awe our people into submission co conditions they were too weak to avert. More than a genera tion has passed since then and this saine building becomes a banqueting hall ot the worshipers of the dead and living heroes of the Southern Confed eracy. In 10*15 a hostile force with Federal decorations, in 1002, a recon structed people, but Confederate em blems on every side, uud rho memory ot its dead and living heroes tho one idea that thrilled una inspired tho as semblage. A wonderful change, but ono which, while affording an oppor tunity for noblemen and.women to apotheosize the dead and honor the little remnant of the living heroes there gathered, was free from the slightest trace of animosity toward those who opposed them in that remarkable strug gle, which has become and will cou tlime to be the most interesting and thuding chapters ot thc world's his tory. Tbc banqueting hall was beautiful in d. coral inna. The walls presented a gallery of poi nature of dead and living heroes of the Confederacy, above and .?round each of which drooped the (olds of Confederate ting*, tho stall's of which, where they crossed, were con fined and ornamented with a largo' guilt star, bearing in the conter a cot ton bloom, full blown, tho emblem of the Dixie Chapter. At the end of the {-..ill, almost enveloped in United States Hags, waa the likeness of Washington, ! while the five windows, which light I tho rostrum heie situated, were also lavishly decorated with United States lings, white bunting being the back ground. On either sido from these, extending to the entrance, were groups ot Confederate llaga tasteful ly arranged and made more atti active by the like nesses of Confederate heroes, among them being Robt. E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, (jen. W. W. Humphreys, Gov. J. L. Orr, Judge J. P. Heed, Col. J. N. Brown, Col. D A. Ledootter, Col. H. R. Vandiver and ochers, and a cony of the ordinance of secession und the charter of the L>ixie Chapter. A row of four columns extend the length of the hall and botween the two center columns waa suspended a frame cover ed with scarlet bunting, the two sides of which bore in large letters, formed of lint cotton, the word "Dixie." Through the center of the hall, tho en tire length, four tables were spread and brilliantly lighted with wax can dles'in rosy red held in improvised candelebro; plates for 250 were aproad and all were taken. The decorations throughout, entertwined aa they were with ivy, presented, under the soft lights, a beautiful and channing effect. The founts aud r?ponses were appro priate, elegant aud inspiring. Mrs. J. M. Patrick wau toastmisstress aud tho following were proposed and respond ed to: "To our President," responded to by Miss Mary Pojipenheim.^ "The lt. E. Lee Chapter." responded toby Mrs. 8 Weekley. "Man," responded to by Mrs. J. J. Fret well. "The Sons of Veterans," responded to by Capt. H. H. Watkins. "The Veterans," by D. H. Hassell. Thus ended the Seventh Annual Convention of the U. I). C. of South Curoli na. The Bouveniers presented to the re tiring officers and delegates were ster ling silver spoons, in the bowls of which is the picture of the historic old building and with the word Dixie on tiie handle. The souveniers given at the reception by the lt. E. Lee Chapter were beautiful portrature buttons, bearing the likeness of Cen. lt. E. Lee, brightened by a delicate little bow of red and white ribbon. Anderson was delighted to entertain tlie Convention and tho Convention leaves the impression that it was pleased with Anderson.
