Wo havo refrained purposely from say l UK anything In print heretofore concerning the negotiations which ha>t been actively in progress for some mortths looking to the looation of one o the largest cotton mills lr. the South by the D wight Manufacturing Company, ot Ohlcope*. Mush. While we have boon for some time reasonably sure this groat plant would bo located here, we did not ? care to deal in Idle rumor, but preferred to wait developments and give ( racta. Facts constitute real news. Besides tod many great benofiU have been lost to communities by rushing bead.ong j print on the vaguest rumor, and with great scare head lines, heralding in plow ing colors this aijLbftt important enter prise- OftentlmefWBia defeats the vei> thing to be desired, hence Instead I of fol lowing the usual course ot ^ factories on paper, we have * wo trnve this one on a moro substantia. ? basls-on terra fmna-and now desire to tell not what may be done, bat what <ha* been doue.. , ,T>^v - Last April Mr. J,- Howard ?f Boston, Treasurer 'pf the Dwl&t ? facturlng OompnnjV^ijd 4ns sop 'Mr. ? Gardner Nichols, visited \ purtit er of places in the Southern States for a location for their proposed South cr? cotton mill. Thorn wore ma y thing* which Induced thin ?ro? to establish a mill In the South. rho principal reasons were that in chusetts labor agitators stood In with men who posed at statesmen, but w ho in fact were demagogues of the cheapest character, and who promised as the price of their election to office to advocate aiv> laws desired by the agitators, whether Ruch laws were founded in J?st|cc or not The result was there as it is i e\e > . where, these demagogues get a fathom legislation unfriendly to manufacturing and really at variance with the best in terests of the laboring classes. was cn Th en again cheaper cotton, milder clim ate, excelling in the constant of humidi ty so essential to, the BiVeecss of cotton spinning, cheap fuel, good native he.p. good rates of freight and ample trans portation facilities, and on the who " friendliness to the investment of capital in cotton manufactories and other en terprises, Which sentiment was being chryetallzed into legislation fa\orablc to this c!ass of development. The Messrs. Nichols were well Teas ed with the South, but particularly so with the conditions existing at Gadsden, for . successful manufacture of cotton. They do not. hesitate to say these condi tions far surpass those of any other of some sclore of other towns in various States whleh they visited. Later In the summer Mr. II. Gardner Nichols returned to Gadsden and begun active work in arranging tho detai.R, for securing proper site and the erectWn of the mills. ? . . , He has perfected all arrangements and oonclnded ' every detail in tlie most thorough and business-like manner re ported to bis people in Boston, and his plans and recommendations have been adopted, and we now give out the fol.ow 1ng factd to the public concerning the "^Tho main mill byildiy.fi will be about 130 feet wide by 500 feet long-three six teen foot stories and ten foot basement The' cotton warehouse Will be in fire proof compartments and bri about 400x * "00 feet: * ~ Tho cloth warehouse will be about 150 x200 feet. , There will be used in constructing the plant, about three to four million brick ftnd two million feet of lumber. There will be built at once about loo tenement houses with four or five rooms ? sCtK'h . I Other buildings will 1h> a water reser voir to hold alK>ut 5,000,000 gallons of 1 water Boi'.cr house and engine rooms about 100x200 feet, smoke stack 25 feet pouaro nt base and 250 feet high, which will take, perhaps, a million or more brick to build, besides numerous and sun dry smaller buildings, water dam, water mains, sewerage system, &e. The mlfts will consume 8.000 to lO.OOO bale* ?>f cotton per year, which will be mado into 3 yard to pound 8^eting for export trade, going principally to Turke>, China and Africa. , , The deed to mill site has already been nvide and the contract for brick has been closed with the Howard Tress Brick i\vnu>any, of Chattanooga, and wll. be ?hlmvMi here via the Chattanooga South Railway. -- . Tart of the lumber contract has been let to tho Kyle Lumber Company, of Gadsden, and the rest will be closed (tVUl . TJio plans nini specifications for the plant have arrived and contractors uro hjr* looking over the ground and niak V their blil?. Those will l>e opened at house in Gadsden, on Jauu ?Anr 1^ih Instant, when contracts will <***vfar\U>d to lowest bidder*. will begin within two weeks thereafter, or as soon as contractors OAU get their equipments here nnd the <HtWW?F permits the laying or brick, j Work will be pushed rapidly and the holdings should bo finlshod by July 1st, * ^ t ?tVe machinery will l>e aet up ami rv*<tk to opernto by November l?t, 1805, w e hdW. ? As far as possible, all things b e^ual, Ultorers, carpenters, itmwim Will 1h> taken from this Ticiiu*?, pvHfcrence will at all times be givea to eUuir things being eqakU M to operatives in be imported ? ffcetorjr kteeed ! later, bo doubled again, making a 100, IHM> spindle mill. The operatives will be given enough land with eaeh tenement for a tardea. ll la intended to build up a model man ufaoturlng town, with churohea and pub He schools for tho benefit of tbo opera tives and their families. Tho policy of tho company will be to encourago their operatives to improve j themselves morally and IntelleotUAily, i and every advantage for uight schools] will Ik? offered, that the children who work in the mllld may secure a good pri mary education, Mich as is given by the public schools of the slate. Prom this brief statement it will be seen that the location of this mill means much for (ladsen, not bnly industrial ly, but In many other respects. It Is the forerunner of many other enterprises for Gadsden, Already correspondence is being bad with other Industries who do sire to locate here. We shall say noth ing until we havo thein, so the public need uot be surprised at any. time to see other announcements In Tho Times Nows of Important industrial fticts for Gads dcu. This place is now the centre of at traction iu the Stoulh for all kinds of factories. ,, The President of the D wight Coinpiuiy Is Mr. Thomas JefTeroon Coolodgo, of Itoston, one of the most uoted tinaneiers and manufacturers of Now Guglaud. IIu> Is a grandson of that Immortal statesman whom the whole union delights to honor, Thomas Jefferson,, one of tho framers of our constitution. Mr. Ooaledge was minister to France under the administra tion of President Harrison. Such peo ple and sych enterprises are woleontcd to tho Sou til. Wo wish them prosperity. ? Gadsden Times-Ntfws.

Tho missive was written in Field's clean, round, legible fist, and ran in this way: "My dear Mr. ; This will in troduce to you a very dear friend of mine, Mrs. ? ? - ? . I have been pleas antly aCquaintly with her Irom early clv.ldhod. I served with hc-r husband in tho Confederate Army throughout the war, and have been intimately asso ciiited with him since in , Journalism.

There was nothing in the serious tone of the words that so mu.h as hintjl a:, a joke. It was Just as if 'Geu. Pi eld had spoken in that earnest way of his. wjitli never a sinile'^to break the solem nity of his long , stndO.h, ministerial face. The lady for- whom the letter was written was rudy-cheeked, buxom and the picture of healthy autumnal womanhood. ller friends looked- u*P from the letter iu surprise. "And werrf you really ever so near heaven?" asl?sd one of the gentlemen. "No, indeed, ' she replied. The whole thing was a nonsensical whim of thi*. humorous, delightful fellow. Of course I never suffered from such a dreadful complaint, and, of course, 'Gen.

A GIGANTIC GKYSKR OF Oil*. Flowed Fourteen and a Half Million GiiUoiin In Twenty-four Honrs.* The K lrkbrldge No. 1 oil well, Is located In Madison township, Sandusky, Ohio. Tho How of oil commenced November' 18. Tho spectacle Is described as 0110 of the most magnificent ever witnessed in that part of tho country. First appeared a column of water rising eight or ten feet in tho air. This was followed by a black stream of mud and sand, which gradually changed to yellow. Then, with a deaf ening roar, the gas burst forth In an immense volume, hiding the derrick from vlow. As this cleared away a solid golden eo! uinii a foot iu diameter shot from the derrick tloor lt>0 feet in the air, and there breaking Into fragments and fall.ng In a shower of yellow rain for a quarter of a milo around. For a period of live hours this great column of oil shot upward. In a very few moments the field about the wi ll was covered several inches deep with petroleum. Within three or four hours tho ditches for miles around were QYur flowlng with oil. Dams were constructed In ondJi- that the product might be esti mated?* but theso were overflowed and swept away as rapidly as built. Some persons living In ;ho vicinity, alarmed at the spectacle, packed their household goods and lied. Tho liuckeyc pumping station, a mile distinct, was compelled to extinguish its fires on account of the gas ?and all other ?fires within the dlsirlet were put out. It was a literal iP??d of oil, the estima ted ptaiductlcn for. /t hi first twenty-four hour* being 14.560,000 gallons. About 1X,0U0 barrels per day havo been saved and marketed since tho oil has been brought under control. Tho owner has refused an or'fcr of tlQC>,(YiO for tho well, being eontent with the Income of $10, 000 per dpy. ? Chicago Times. tEOPLB YOU RICAD ABOUT.
