THE CARPET MILL SUIT.
It Will Likely Vrove the Most Interesting
Case of the October Term.
There is considerable interest being
taken In the pending suit of Mr.
Gaily Perry vs. the Gaffney Carpet
Manufacturing Company, which is to
be tried at the October term of court,
and the merits and demerits of the
case are being discussed freely. It is
admitted on ail sides that it would
be an unfortunate thing for Gaffney
should the prosecutors succeed in
obtaining an injunction against the
company and thus force them to
close the business here and move to
some other point. We know that
this will be the outcome should the
suit against the company prove suc
cessful. On the other hand we know
that there is no dtslre on the part of
t ie management to move the mill un
less they are forced to do so in order to
escape similar suits. The Ledger
cun state that the mill will only
move when the necessity is thrust
upon tiie management, and then the
move would be made regretfully, nay
sorrowfully, as the plant as now
located is the pride and joy of Mr.
fiierck, the president and manager.
It was built upon ground which was
cleared in his presence; started and
more than successfully operated
in a new location to carpet manu
facturing, after much work that
is incident upon the introduction
of a. new industry to any locality,
and yet it is manned by as expert
operatives as can be found in the o!d
centres of carpet making, all of whom
were taught and educated to that
state by the men who now have the
mechanical and clerical departments
of the mill in charge and who were
brought here for that purpose. The
mill is now competing with the lead
ing mills of the north, and is daily
advertising Gaffney as no other in
dustry iu her midst is advertising
her. Yet if such law suits as the
one" pending should be successful
there would be no alternative but to
move the plant to a locality where
they would he free from such perse
cution, unfortunate though that
would be for our state and com
munity along lines of progress and
development. Again we say we hope
the case will be adjusted to the best
interest of the city and with justice
to both oanies to the suit.

HELD AT HICKORY.
President of a College Refused to Surrender
tiirla to Their Parents.
The following was written to the
Columbia State by its correspondent
at Jonesville, who should know
whereof ho speaks as one of the
young ladies in question was from
his place:
“A week since Misses Etta Hames
and Lizzie Littlejohn went to Hick
ory, N.C., to enter Claremont Female
college. The president of the college,
Mr. Hatton, had been to Jonesville
some time before in the interest of
his college. After the two youmr
ladies above mentioned arrived at the
college and spent one night and look
ed aroun ! they were dissatisfied with
the it autution, and would not be
matriculated and refused to enter
and proposed to return to their
homes. The president demurred and
r. fused to let them go. They wired
home the sir.uaiion and their parents
wired them.to return, but the presi
dent eiiil refused to let them go.
0 e of them, Miss Littlejohn, man
aged to get away and come home.
Air. T L Humes went over to Hick
ory after ids daughter and President
Hatton refused to give up her trunk
or ’he trunk of the other young lady,
MisS Littlejohn, who had come home.
Mr. Hames offered to pay the expense
of the girls while they were there but
his olfcr was refused and he had to
employ an attorney, who took out
proceedings of claim and delivery and
then the trunks were released and
Mr Hames returned with his daugh
ter and the bairgage of the two young
ladies. A damage suit may be the
result.”
We have since learned that there
were four young ladies who went
from Jonesville and the vicinity, and
who formed this particular crowd.
Three of them entered Limestone
College on their return from Hickory.
Clone to Charlotte to Live.
Several weeks ago we published a
clipping from the Charlotte Observer
to the effect that Mr. H. I). Wheat
was contemplating making that city
his future home. At the time we
expressed a hope that the rumor
would not mature into a certainty,
hut our hope was in vain. Wednes
day afternoon a reporter for The
Ledger observed that Mr. and Mrs.
Wheat were making preparations to
go somewhere. Inquiry developed
the fact that they were preparing to
take the evening vestibule for the
(Jneen City. Thus it is that Gaffney
suffers a loss while Charlotte is the
gainer. Charlotte is one of the best
towns in the South. It has attrac
tions that few other cities of its size
possess. We do not wonder at peo
ple desiring to live there, and while
we regret to give up Mr. and Mrs.
Wheat we wish for them, at the same
time, a pleasant and profitable stay
among the good people of the fore
most town of the Old North ritate.
Gaffney can ill afford to part with
such citizens, but if we must lose
them we know of no piece we would
rather see them go to than Charlotte.
Two Souls Mado Happy.
Wednesday afternoon at 7:30
o’clock Mr. W. C. Goings and Miss
Mary Putnam were united in mar
riage at the home of the bride’s
father on Limestone street. Uev. W
8. B. Ford, pastor of the Hecond
BiptiMt ciiu-cii, performed tiie cere
mony in his usual impressive man
ner, while Uev. .ins T. Mellard, of
Newb rry, gracefully lent his aid
toward'- consummating I he happiness
of the young couple.
The bride and groom are both
worthy young people, and they enter
upon their new life followed by the
best wishes of many admiring friends.
May they live long and prosper.
