THE GAFFNEY ROLLER SHOPS
NEW INDUSTRY IN OUR
MIDST.
It
Rraches Out
From Other
and Brings Trade
States to This
Rapidly Developing Com*
munity of Ours.
THE PROTRACTED MEETING.
It
“What is the (Jaffney Roller Shops,
and what do they do? What kind of
an enterprise is it?’’ These were a
sample of the questions asked by
friends and patrons of Thk Lkdgeh
as they examined a lot of job print
ing being done for this new’ enter
prise. Thk Ledger man himself was
not sufficiently acquainted with the
subject to give an intelligent answer
and in order to let our readers know
what is going on he accepted an invi
tation from Mr. John Gregory, the
proprietor, to call and look at the
mechanical operations. Mr. Gregory
came here from Atlanta al>out two
months ago at the solicitation of
Alderman Wheat, who is superinten-
dant of the Gaffney Manufacturing
Company, and started the enterprise.
When The Lkduek man called Mr.
Gregory was in the act of shipping
two lots of rollers he had just fin
ished—one to King’s Mountain, the
other to Greenville. Said he to the
localizer:
‘ 1 am always glad to see The Led
ger. It will give me much pleasure
to lie of any service possible. These
are the rollers we cover,” pointing to
a long table on which were a number
of racks containing different sized
rollers for cotton mills. “There are
three sizes of these rollers and they
are used in all mills. They are iron
covered with felt and a covering of
lamb or calf skin over the felt. These
coverings wear from six months to a
year, depending altogether on the
usage they receive and the materia'
and manner in which they are cov
ered. We have here the very latest
appliances. In fact we have many
tools other shops do not have, because
we have made some’of them our
selves. Everything has been done to
facilitate the work. The material we
use is the very best possible. The
lamb skin is from the celebrated tan
nery of Winslow and is “Winslow’s
Best,” a very fine brand. The calf
skin is from the Kimball & Gerish
tannery. We buy from the Char
lotte Supply Co., the largest mill sup
ply firm in the South and the South
ern agents for these goods. We in
tend to use the best material obtain
able, do first-class work and make an
effort to make money. So far we
have been very successful.”
The shops are' located in a build
ing in the yard of the Gaffney Manu
facturing Company. Mr. Gregory
then conducted the reporter through
the big mill of that company, explain
ing in detail the workings of the mill
from the point where the bales of
cotton are opened to where it. comes
out in bales of cloth ready to be ship
ped. All the machinery in this mill
is of the latest pattern, and here Mr.
Gregory showed the practical work
ings of the rollers which his shop
covers. Mr. Gregory was for nine
years connected with the Brown &
King Hupply Co., of Atlanta, and is a
practical roller
much
for this city, and The Ledger wishes
it all the success it deserves. A few
more men like H. I). Wheat to bring
enterprises to our midst would 'soon
put this place in the front rank,
where she rightly belongs. Let some
one else induce a new and different
enterprise to locate here.
Commenced Last Sunday Night at
the Methodist Church.
Last Sunday night Rev. B. P. Boyd,
pastor of the Methodist church,
started a revival at his church. The
interest increased and Rev. J. L. Har
ley, of Clifton joined him. Mr.
Harley seems to be a x** 11 }' earnest
man, a good worker, and has accom
plished some good. The interest con
tinues unabated the church being
crowded nightly and many persons
seek the penefant alter. Mr. Harley
preaches his last Sermon tonight, as
he leaves for his home tomorrow in
order to fill his pulpit Sunday. The
meeting will continue indefinitely.
Rev. Mr. Boyd in talking to The
Ledger representative said: “The
meeting has been a success. A great
deal of interest is manifest. We hope
to continue it another week. This
lias been a most prosperous year with
us in Gaffney. There have been thir
ty-eight accessions to the church so
fur this year. I expect great good to
result from the meeting now going
on.”
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The
Majority of the Supreme Court
Declare the Dispensary Law.
•O
The Supreme Court yesterday in an
elaborate opinion declared the dispen
sary law unconstitutional. Chief
Justice Mclver and Associate Justice
McGowan agree in pronouneing the
act unconstitutional. Associate*Jus
tice Pope dissents. The State has
determined to appeal. Senator Hoar
says there can Ik? no appeals. Gov
ernor Tillman declines to discuss it.
The Man Who Does Not Advertise.
The man who does not advertize
simply because his grandfather did
not, ought to wear knee breaches
and a cue. The man who doe* not
advertize because it costs money,
should quit paying rent for the same
reason. The man who does not ad
vertize because he tried it once and
failed, should throw away bis cigar
Imm'uusc the light went out.
The man who does not advertise
because lie dosen’t know bow him
self. ought to stop eating because he
can’t e >ok.
