ENLARG \ ING PLANT. | j L Whitmire >Till Have One of the Best; f Mills in oSuth.?A Spyendid ft Section. F It is doubtful if many of the people j J A *- ...l* ^ lixrA I of Newberry, except mose wuu in the i.nmediate vicinity, know or realize or appreciate the enormous development that is going on at the present time only eighteen miles away, in the pretty little town of Whitmire. | Mr. William Coleman and those associated with him have already one of the he?sr. eaulnDed mill plants in the k * k State. Not satisfied with present conr ditions, some time ago work was heir gun on the enlarging of the plant to T double its present capacity. \ s Only a few years ago the town of Whitmire was just a railroad station, with one or two stores and a few people and a small business all of which came as a result of the building of tne j I Seaboard Air Line railroad along that j I way. Mr. William Coleinan, who was I ) educated for a lawyer, but who had j ? the industrial spirit strongly developed, and who had faith in his country and especially this section, which is . really the best section, decided to give up the law and embark in the indus-! trial development of the South and COntriDUie ins siuue ?s a latwi m iuc effort to bring the South into its own. v As a result of this effort and determination on his part the Glenn-Lowry l v Manufacturing company entered the commercial world with 36.000 spindles f and 900 looms and a capital represent\ ing more than half a million dollars, ^ and "began turning the great staple of the South into the manufactured arti c!e. His forbears had lived for generr * ations just across the Enoree on the Union side and he and they owned *-v large landed estates in that community and it is no doubt due to this fact that he decided on the present locatioii, \ though it is ideal. The name of the company is in honor to the memory I of Coleman and Rice being a combina tioii of their middle names. ' i The mill as it stands now, as stated, i has 36,000 spindles and 900 looms and * . when the new part now under construction is complete, being just double the present mill, will contain 66,, ? 000 spindles and 1,600 looms and will 9ftn hnlPK: of cotton ner weak. The goods manufactured is 68x72 fine 'sheeting and, therefore, the amount of f cotton required is not as large as if ! the mill were run on a coarse grade of goods. It will probably be next to | > Olympia the largest mill under one j rr?nf in thp State. The completed i | building will be 440 feet by 130 feet and will contain five floors. Besides the picker room, the machine shops and the opening room are all on the outside. On the new part the workmen are now on the third story. Not | only is work in progress on the build ing of the mill but new streets are being opened and graded and nice neat houses for the operatives are in pro- i cess of construction and when the mill ! > I is in operation about a thousand peo- j pie will be added to the population of | ^j, the town. 'The mill now employs I about four hundred people. "4 Thp officers arc William Coleman, president. f G. H. Leitner, superintendent R. R. Jeter, treasurer. Thad W. Coleman, secretary. B Along with the building of the mill j ^ a national bank was established which was successfully operated until about four years ago whe;i the charter was i surrendered and a private banking f corporation organized under the name of William Coleman and company, bankers, but with no capital stock except the credit of the corporators. This institntinn in fnnr vpars has aceumn Ilated a surplus and undivided profit account of $44,707.06 and has a deposit account of $114,318.29 according to the last published statement requiri ed by the State bank examiner.

There are three churches in the town?Baptist, Methoiist and Presbyterian?served by regular pastors, besides a neat chapel in the mill village which is open to all denominations. There are also a number of handsome and up-to-date stores which carry large and well selected stocks of eoods. I have made two visits 10 this town within the past two weeks t j? purpose being to co-opei;nte with the people in the enlargement and development of their school facilities.

The first stop was at the residence of Mr. C. S. Suber. We next stopped at tfte home of Mr. John M. Suber. He went with us to Whitmire and we returned to his home ** - J* ?? * Ar T+ lor QlQDCr.

Part of the way there had been good rains on Tuesday and some rain on Wednesday.

Gaillard, of Xewry, was in Walhalla Monday, and during: the day was looking after the interests of a young Lady of his community \vhr> vvnc in pvprv e^ncp nf thp vvrvrrl a heroine, and beyond question worthy of recognition at the hands of the Carnegie hero commission. It will be remembered that about two weeks ago Miss Sophia 'Thompson, 17 years of age. rescued Eva Gregory 3 years of age, from a rabid dog that had attacked her, choking the animal and holding it down with her hands and knees until the Gregory child was freed. Miss Thompson was severely bitten and injured in carrying out her heroic efforts to save the victim of the dog's attack. The Xewry community is unanimous in praise of the little lady who i n? - ^ ?1? -* ~ inrew nerstm 11110 me \er\ jaws 01 the ferocious beast to save the younger girl. She is deserving of the highest praise for her noble act, and nothing could be more appropriate than recognition at the hands of the Carr> flfyi rt iat* tuilliiuooiuu. Card o? Thanks. We wish to show our appreciation and return our heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors for their aid and sympathies during the illness and death of our beloved mother, Mrs. A. J. Livingston.

Sin^erelv in Earnest .As Candidate For Senate?Will Disv cuss Records. As there are some people, throughout the county, who seem to think my announcement as a candidate for the senate was done in a spirit of fun and mischief, I write this to say I was never more in earnest in my life. To alloy all doubt, however, I have this day deposited in bank my assessment fee. payable to the order of F. H. Dominick, Esq., or to Frank R. Hunter. I have entered this race through 1 no ill will, or malice to anyone, but on my own initiative and responsibility, and am no partizan of any clique or! party, but stand on my own past rec- 1 ord alone, and not on the demerits of my opponent. I have shied my castor , in the ring. My lance in poise, will' strike straight from the shoulder, but never below the belt. When the tourney begins, my friends and opponents will .find me "at Philippi," eager and , ready for the fray with "Lay on McDuff, and damn be he who first says, hold?enough." I shall discuss during i the campaign all matters of public in- | terest, openly, fairly and fearlessly, and no man need fear or doubt, as to where I stand. I shall eschew all personalities, confining myself strictly to public issues, and the public record of my opponent. If in the last grand showdown I find myself a loser, the defeat will be j accepted gracefully, and I will cheerfully abide the verdict of the majority. In that event, I will be among the first to congratulate my opponent in being the choice of the people of Newberry county. D. A. Dickert. * 1 _ X 1. Iiouoie Meaning' ar ?nsn ltiver.
