During the seven years of its history the mill has paid 00 per cent, in divi dends. We are credibly imformed that the Norris Cotton Mills, at Central, 8. C., will now be pushed forward to com pletion, and put in operation at the earliest practicable date. Of the equipment for this mill, the Mason Machine Works, of Taunton, Muss., furnished all the revolving flat cards, drawing frames, spinning frames and looms, which are now being shipped. The Whitin Machine Works, Whit- insville, Muss , have shipped 1,700 twister spindles and some other ma chinery to the new Eno Cotton Mills. Hillsboro. N. C. The 5,000 spindles of this factory have been spinning some nice 2Gs single yarns for the market. The capacity of the mill is twelve or thirteen thousand spindles, with all other necessary machinery. Naomi Falls Mfg. Co., Randleman, N. C., started their spinning and carding rooms on night work this week. They have 5,000 spindles and 300 looms, ttO of which are bag looms. Southern silks are made on the other 210 looms. These goods have a splendid appearance, us they are of good colors, even thread, and per fectly woven. 'Hie Dover Yarn Mills, Pineville, X. C., are arranging to start up their 5,37G spindle plant on night turn, which will probably take place about the 25th inst. They are running al together on 40’s yarns, and find this necessary to supply the demand at the higher prices. The blaze in their waste room Sept. 4 did only $175 damage. J. p. Wilson, of Charlotte, is treas., and J. B. Boyd, superintend ent. The Ashby cotton mills, Marion, 8. C., are to he doubled in size at once. This is a yarn spinning mill owned by R. A. Blythe of Philadelphia, and A. M. Price, of Lincolnton, X. C. The make of the additional machin ery required has not yet been decid ed on ; the first to be bought will, be a warping mill. Mr. Price has just ordered a 100 h. p. Moffatt boiler feed pump for the Ashby Mills to be built by the Park Mfg. Co., of Char lotte. Wennonah Cotton Mills, Lexing ton, N. C., are running on full time. At Mill No. 2 the spinning and card ing department arc running day and night. J. C. Sell is the night carder and spinner, and C. L. Coggins is second. The total number of spin dles In the two mills is 9,714. These mills make sheetings and several kinds of colored goods. The Wen nonah mills are just installing a 30,- 000 gallon deep well pump built for them by the Park Mfg. Co., of Char lotte. The Southside Mfg. Co., Salem, N. C., will, in about two weeks, start their mill on night work. This mill has 5,000 spindles and 100 looms. All of the machinery is Hie latest im proved. The foremen of the weaving and carding department are young men who were previously employed at the Arista'col ton mills, same city, as loom fixer and card grinder, re spectively. Ellis F. Carter is over seer of weaving, and Calvin Jones carder. John L. Patterson is super intendent. A. P. Rhyne, of Mount Holly, X. C., president of several cotton mills, was in Fayetteville. N. C., last week for the purpose of meeting the direc tors of the Plm nix cotton mills Co. He made an oiler to the directors that upon certain conditions he would move the machinery from a Philadelphia hummock factory into the new Phoenix building and make the concern a joint stock company, the directors to furnish the working capital. The matter is now under consideration. The prospective woolen mill at North Wilkesborn, N. C., is being worked up by G. W. Hinshaw. of Winston, N. C., and W. F. Trogdon, ! of Greensboro, N. C. They say that parties up North are anxious to invest in the enterprise, bu^ want some local parties to take stock and super intend the work. Our correspondent at Wilksboro, J. S. Foster, says that is certainly a favorable location for such an enterprise, and thinks it would, if properly managed, pay good dividends. The Mayodan cotton mills, Mayo- dan, N. C., arc preparing the foun dation for a 50 feet addition to their mill. The new part, when com pleted, will be used as an opening room. These mills have 15.000 mule spindles. The company, so it is said, contemplate building a new mill, near this one, whenever the conditions are favorable. They will have plenty of water power, as the Mayo river, on which the present mill is situated,* will furnish suffi cient power for another mill of like size. The new Smitherman cotton mills, Troy, N. 0., contemplate starting in Janury or February, so we are ad vised by the company. They have bought only their steam plant, but will perhaps buy Kitson lappers, Woonsocket speeders, etc. They will put in 2,080 spindles and 80 looms to commence with to make 4 yd. sheetings. They expect hereaf ter to make the mill a 5,000 spindle and 200 loom one. The officers are 8. J. Smitherman, president; Miss Minnie Smitherman, vice-president; A. W. E. Cupel, Socretary'and Treas urer; and Miss Inu Smitherman, book-keeper. The cotton mill hands at Laurens. S. C., have become worked up against the negroes. On the night of Sept. 1 at the cotton mill store there was trouble between the mana ger and employe. In ejecting a young white man from the building, a negro employe, by order, assisted. The factory people got excited and moved in crowds in search of the negro and demanded that the store manager should be discharged. All is again quiet. It is said that about fifty employes of the mill were dis missed, but. others have taken their places and the mill runs on as smoothly as ever. Nothing great was without enthusiasm. ever achieved Elgin Locals. (Correspon'lenco of The Ledger.) Ei.ci\. Sept.. 13.—A very heavy wind storm passed over our section Friday evening the 10th inst. unroof ing a f few buildings and completely wrecking an unfinished dwelling house of John B. Harper. Cotton crops throughout this sec tion have been cut a little short on account of the recent drought, though we will have over an average crop. I. W. Moore has twelve or fif teen acres that will make from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. We counted on one stalk of his cotton one day last week 272 squares and bolls by actual count. This heals Pink Gordon. I. W. Moore has been confined to his bod for some time with malarial fever, but is ou foot again. We are having very little sickness in our section now, except sore throat. George T. Bailey, one of our prom inent farmers, died lust week of con cussion of the brain. A. L. Mobley, a former clerk of I. W. Moore it Son., has accepted a po sition in the MeDow drug store at Heath Springs. I. W. Moore it Son., have been so fortunate as to obtain the services of that wide-awake hust ler J. S. Hagins, who is to clerk for them. Say Flaw, what do you think ot Big Boy’s terrapin tale? It reminds me of the guinea talo Mr. Gibson, (I mean Dr. Joe. Gaffney’s son-in-law) told me. When he was a boy he whs staying with his grandmother and she had a lot of guineas, and she sent him out one day to hunt the nest. He soon found it. It contained 480 eggs. He reported to his grand mother asked for advice and she ad vised him to let them alone. Gibson said that in a few weeks the place was covered with little guineas and quite a lot of eggs were left in the nest. I feel quite interested in J. L, S.’s letters in regard to the old veterans. I am sorry I did not have the pleas ure of meeting with them in Green ville but I was confined to my bed at the time.

Squire Kirk, of Alexandria, Ind., has had trouble with juries “hanging.” Be probably solved the question of hasty verdicts the other day, and his recipe may be of value to other justice shops over the country. Some petty offenders were on trial in his court. The case had taken some time, was t complex, and there were ex cellent chances of another “hung jury” on the question of guilty or not guilty. When he instructed the jury he said: “Gentlemen, we must have a verdict.

Ravenna, Sept. 14.—We have had a great deal of sickness in our com munity this summer but I am glad to state that the sick are convalescent. Miss Genie Burgess, who has been confined to her room for eleven weeks is much better. Miss Selma Little john who has had a severe attack of fever is also improving. J. B. Brown came near losing his eye sight but under the skillful treat ment of Dr. Heintish is much im proved. Several of our young men attended the camp meeting at Cannon’s Camp Ground last Sunday. On last Friday night Miss Florence Burgess one of our nice young ladies eloped with Mr. Wade Thomas, of l’a;;olet. They were married by Rev. A. A. James. It is reported that quite a number of other marriages are to take place between this and Christmas. Dr. J. E. Chalk, of Clifton, visited relatives and friends at this place Tuesday. a. b. c.

Cher okee Drug Company. The power of unequalified assertion in literature is very great, because most readers are never in that active state of mind which examines and combats. John Griffin, of Zanesville, O., says : “I never lived a day for thir ty years without suffering agony, until a box of De Witt’s Witch Ha zel Salve cured my piles.” For piles and rectal troubles, cuts, bruises, sprains, eczema and all skin troubles De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is une qualled. Cherokee Drug Co. Did you ever notice the rapturous fervor with which the postman is sometimes received—not for himself, but for what he brings? Be sure that you have been in his position oftenor than you know. you to agree and it is pretty comfort- able here. I have selected a box ear j dowu on the railroad' traek. It will | hold 12 men and my constable will show you to it.” The 12 jurors were marched to their ' freak jury-room and began deliberat- j ing on the case. It looked very much as if they were going to “hang,” even in those quarters. The constable had taken the precau- ! tion to lock the door, and the mun- :holes at the ends of the car were the only openings. When the 12 men had keen given time to make up their minds a switch engine was steamed up the track past the ear. After switching around some time it was hitched onto the car and began moving it away. The jurymen were soon brought to the realization that they were about to be landed in Louis ville or Benton Harbor. There was a hasty ballot and it was followed by a thundering at the door and cries of “Here’s your verdict.” The constable was not long in get ting to the car. The jury was marched up town to the squire’s court. The ver dict was found to be “not guilty.” It is likely the city of Alexandria will provide a half dozen box cars and an engine for special use in bringing juries to qui^k conclusions. The scheme is the most successful one yet tried in this section of the state, where “hanging juries” is prac ticed by loafers in order to get in two -or three days’ pay on a verdict that should be agreed upon in five minutes.

Medical men at Beaver Falls, Pa., have been greatly puzzled by the case of little Willie Rothman, whose brother in flated him with a bicycle pump the other afternoon. All night the doctors were trying to devise some harmless method of deflating the child. Mrs. George Ruthman. the mother of the child, was nearly prostrated when one of the neighbors suggested that the baby be punctured. It appears that the pump used on W’illie by his biother was an old one, and was made of a combination of metals, which, ow ing to the fact that it had not been cleaned lately, generated a gas.

Such was John Clark's luck while fishing at Black Rock dam, near I’hoenixville. IV. a few days ago. In the middle of the stream he hooked a monster carp, which resisted as the line was hauled up. Neither fisherman nor carp was disposed to yield, so away went Clark's bout up stream, towed by the fish. It was an exciting time for the fisherman, but finally, in a quarter of a mile, be managed to stop the akiff and get the upper hand of the carp. The fish was hauled into the boat, landed and taken to Clark's home. It weighed S3 pounds. Winthrop College Scholarship AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION.
