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>

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

V their blil?. Those will l>e opened at

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,

The operatives will be given enough

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.

"This is the way Kugeno Field once
Introduced me," said a L?uulsvllle wo
man as she held out a letter for ike in
spection of several <>f her gentlemen
friends. 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.
Tlie friend, whom f tlms present to you
is n indy o? rnro culture and refine
ment. Unfortunately ?he is dying of
Bright's disease.Vytn the light? re"
distressing fact, I am sure ? that you
will >be doubly kind to her."
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. Field
never served in the Con fede^tte Army
with my husband, nor ^rri'ybo<V^<iU?~
I will tell you anotlW^Jdoke ho once

gentlemen fribbing over their dalntbM

table and I was <lolng my -best to be

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

I Stalo of New York has a fair proportion
of these, although tho most fertile Held
for tho woman preacher thus far seems
