Will Build Another Mill.
Preparatory work for the
building of the big addition to
mill No. 1 of the Fort Mill
Manufacturing Company was
started Monday morning, the
contract for the erection of the
building having been given to
J. A. Gardner of Charlotte.
This building will occupy the
space just in front of the present
weave shed and will be 272 feet
long by 101 feet wide of onestory
and, when completed, will
contain 850 gingham looms.
To supply the yarn necessary
for the operation of these looms
the spinning room will be run
with a night shift of hands ,
until a further addition to the
plant is made to contain carding
and spinning machinery sufficient
to produce the necessary
yarn without night work. This
addition will probably be begun
as soon as the new weave shed
is completed.
To provide space for the new
weave shed it was necessary to!
tear down the present office j
building and the offices will
temporarily occupy a tenant
house near the mill until a new
office building can be erected
down White street about 350
feet from the present building.
The work which has been pro-1
t% . - ? 1
gressing ior some time on the
addition to mill No. 2 is almost
completed and the installation
of machinery will soon begin.
Twenty-five tenant houses
which have been under construction
for the company by
the Fort Mill Lumber company
are almost completed and will
be ready for occupancy soon by
additional operatives acquired.

purpose of completing the organization.
These men were in..:?^e?
*u? -c - -
vncu iui me purpuse 01 assisting
in the perfecting of the local
organization and the first speaker
introduced by the president
was J. T. Fain who delivered an
excellent address upon the theme
of the true spirit of cooperation
in the upbuilding of the town
and community. He was followed
in turn by J. W. O'Neal,
Alex Long, Ira B. Dunlap, J. W.
Bynum and J. B. Johnson in
short addresses replete with good
advice from their store of actual
experience. All of the speeches
were attentively listened tc and
the speakers heartily applauded.
The business of the evening was
then concluded by the adoption
of a constitution and by-laws
and the enrollment'of members.
During the evening the members
and their guests were!
served with coffee, sandwiches j
and cigars.
$12 Flour in Sight.
With the advance of flour
another 50 cents a barrel Saturday,
thereby bringing the cur-1
rent wholesale quotation to $9.50,
which means that the retail price
runs around $10 a barrel, another
step was taken in the direction
of $12 a barrel flour which has
been freely predicted for some
time past, says the Charlotte
Observer.
This advance of flour has been
spectacular but not any more so
than a score of other important
items in the general list. Comnonnd

are likewise up and almost every-1
thing else that might be men-1

generally entertained by the.
better posted jobbers that lard
and other items will not be reduced
until another cotton crop
has been harvested and another i
supply of hogs have been raised.
Wheat is now $2 a bushel delivered
which is the highest
