The new plant will be a monumen tal affair and will be one of the most" moderuly equipped textile plants In tin1 natlohi 1,1 has been rumored for over a year that a new mill would l>e erected and news that a third plant was to be built has been expected for some time. James R. Duke is greatly Interested in the Republic Cotton Mills and, many believe that he ultimately plans to Make (Jreat Falls the textile center of America. V The Republic- Cotton Mills were es tablished in 1M0. A second plant was erected in 101(5. Robert S. Mebane Is president; II. R, Mebane. vice presi dent. and Deever Little, suitcrinten deut- The Mebane brothers are na tives of Mebane, X. C. John A. How ard is secretary of the company. The construction of this third mill will furnish labor to many i>eople. Coming rvjfbt. at the tunc whan much of the agricultural activities of the country are temporarily stopped, due to the cotton crop being out of the way, the construction work will bo of immense help financially to many HOOple. The Retpublic Mills, except for holi days and Sundays, have not stopped a day since they started in 1910. They have never had a strike. Living con* dltions of the employes are ideal, the mills owning 2,000 acrcs of land in the vicinity and surrounding the mills, On this broad and open acreage there ar 412 tenement houses. The product of the mill Is a splendid grade of print cloth.

Orphanage Work Day Plan. Kor several years the orphanages. In this state, aiul in other Southern states. have observed a custom that luis now become well established among our Sunday Schools- Joint re quest is made by Thornwell Orphan age, "Mi?' (liurcli Home Orplianage, Ep worth Orphanage and Connie Maxwell Orphanage that all people who love God and Little children will contrib ute the income or the wages of at least one day to the orphanage of his choice. It is suggested that the plan be han dled in every Sunday School In South Carolina by announcements made well in advauce and that a Saturday be selected on which everybody including tho children shall devote himself to a task or special Job Is necessary, and I contribute the income of the day at j bis church on the following Sunday. Perhaps in some places it may prove 1 more acceptable to have everything brought in on Thanksgiving day. Bach community may work out if? own plan for the observance of the day but it is hoped that many thousands of our people will adopt the scheme. If the friends of the orphan shonVd with any sort of unamlmity enter the proposed olwerranee of the day there is little donbt. that each of our four chnrcli orphanages wonkl receive enough t? ?apply the current need* for some timu to come ? . . , * . ^ ' -? .

The record of -the find: teafn has never been found, as they made none. The next year, however, an unusually difficult schedule was arranged. Not a single game was lost, hut one Was forfeited on account of very discriminating Keferee's decis ions- Another hard' schedule hint year saw the loss of games to Charles ton and Columbia.
