There was a meeting of the Directors of Orr Cotton Mills on the 30th of De cember just past and it was unanimous ly decided to increase t ho pia nt by 90,000 Spindles and 750 Looma for the manu facture of liner gooda. A meeting of the stockholders to indorse the action of the Directors in this matter has been fixed for Wednesday, 28th inst., at 12 o'clock.

Mayor Sullivan and City Attorney J. K. Hood, with the assistance of Archie Linley, a competent stenographer, spent several hours yesterday in near ing sworn statements made by mer chants of the city as to the inefficient service of the Blue Ridge Railroad, both as to freight and passenger business. This investigation, which will be con tinued to-day, beginning at ll o'clock, is the result of a petition to the City Council, signed by a number of mer chants and citizens and presented some weeks ago. Upon hearing the peti tion, which asked that the Council take steps to force relief, the Council set aside $500 to be UBed in the prosecution of the case, if so much was found ne cessary, and appointed the Mayor and City Attorney to take testimony and re port back to Council. The outcome of this investigation cannot be forecasted. The short-comings of the rondare being pretty freely ventilated, but some of tlx* statements goto show that there hun been Rome improvement in the s* i vice within the pant few mouths. The New Year. Rosy with freshness tho year lOO.'i stands facing eveiy one of UH. Each individual might well ask himself the Question, What do I intend to do? and then do some hard thinking. The bf>5 days of the year 1002, with all of their opportunities, are gone and forever; but the new year dawns upon a most wonderful age of development in in tillect. scienco and art. An age which is the heritage of centuries upon cen turies and ottering opportunities our ancestor* never dreamed of. The year 100'J ia scarcely worth a thought out side of tho lessons it leaves for our protit in future. It contains some his tory, some experience, but it is now a memory only. Tho new year is before us. Whnt we need ia grit and dotei mination to accomplish something that will lilt us from among the common heard and place un in the front ranks. There must bo planning and looking abend. Wo muststop driftiug. There will he rough roads for muny of UH to travel in 100.1. Resolutions tumlo on New Year's Day are no better than those made ab any other time. What we need is grit of thu sticking quality. Some fighting will have to be done and we'll need it badly. Most of ?ll, we will have to fight self. We will make mistakes and get the blues and become discouraged, nut we eau win. The world is a friend to the man who trien. Self munt be made subordinate to busi ness methods, then aim high and wade in, keeping eternally at it. We must think more, not alone of self but ahout the sorrows of other people. We must study the waste in our ?VOH in the past years and protit by the facta. We mnst go to Church oftener. Church going is a good thiner even if we are in no way religious. We get idean, hear some windom and meet people whom it is good for us to know. Succenncan not be accomplished without health. We must live simply, sidestepping those things which have wrecked others. A good many times we were convivial with so-oalled friends when we should have boen at home. It wor ried the wife or tho mother and made ns see blue devils nnd unfitted us for business. Was this wine? The wine repeat few mistakes after they lind they were mistakes. We nhould read more good books. It is better to develop the intellect by rending than to have an education that is made up of experiences dear bought and sail. This world has reached a point of won derful development. The sun has never before shown upon such an heir itage as tho New Year brings to us. We cannot afford to be sleepers. Let ?B apply business rules to our personal lives, lift up our heads nnd climb.

Tho City Council, at tho regular monthly meeting held hist night, unanimously decided to indorse the submitting to the freeholders of the city a petition nuking that au election be held on the question of issuing bonds of ?25,000 for the purpose of of paving the Court House Square and so much of the main thoroughfares leading from the Square as can be paid for with the proceeds arising from the Hale of these bonds. The Council was a unit in the mat ter. The Mayor and every Alderman, and all were present, were of opinion that the people would not be satisfied with any temporary work, bot expect ed and were willing to pay for stieet improvements that would be perma nent. A resolution was adopted authorizing the drawing up of the petition, which is to be circulated by tue policemen. Aldermen Ligon, Ilolleman and Uris I Rey were made a committee to inquire, in the meantime, thc relative cost of Belgian blocks and vetritied brick. Mayor Sullivan will act with this com I mittee. The matter of annulling the $50,000 of Black Diamond Railroad bonds was also placed in the hands ol j this committee with instructions to take such steps us may seem best to them, under the advice of the city at torney. The impression prevailed in tho Council meeting that there would be no trouble in annulling these bonds. I Tho city attorney, who was present, was also of this opinion, remarking as these bonds were never issued and no rights to anyone having accrued under them, (as no part of the consideration of their authorization ba i been per formed) tho repeal of the legislative enactment authorizing the election, together with all ordinances bearing upon the subject, would effectually re lieve the city of any obligation under the builds, it' any now exists. A number of other matters of minor importance were considered by Coun cil, such ns petitions for water mains, opening of a street through ar part of the premises of Mr. J. F. Clinkscales', und the adoption of an ordinance regu lating the Hushing of sewers. At Hymen's Altar. KAUSDALK AND LA HOON.
