Fhe Clmrtor Whs tn •Iiint* *DH ami Before September of Fine CrtrpetH Wert* Iteiri; Shipped All Over the Country Mulled Labor Kmployed. In ttio tarty part of January nearly three years ago, INKS, Mr J. E. Hierck, of Philadelphia, then general manager and director of a large and successful Carpet Manufacturing Co , took a trip through the south for the purpose of locating a site for a carpet factory, a long cherished and much desired undertaking, and thus start an entirely new industry in the South land lie was attracted to the town ot GatTney; the result is that in our town is established the pioneer ear- pel mill of this section. The charter was issued by the secretary of the State on June 10th, 181)8. Ground was broken for the foundation on May 28th, and before the first of Sep tember perfect rolls of carpet and art .squares were being shipped to different parts of the country. The certainly was an example of energy. The main mill is 128x71 feet, two stories high, with a three story build ing 71 x 18 feet, office increased from 11x22 feet to 58x22 feet, engine room 42x20 feet, boiier house 42x10 feet, dye house 60x42. in addition to these buildings the company has erected dwellings for the operatives. They have since been compelled to erect a building 10x10 feet, for the additional requiiemants of their busi ness. They have their own water works and electric light and fire pro lection plant and are always com plimented on the general good con dition and appearance of the plant and the efficiency of the fire depart ment. Both male and female opera lives are employed, the male element predominating. The machines used are of the most complete and latest pattern. The plant is finely situ ated, having a natural water supply of 200,()()() gallons. There is over thirty acres of land owned by the company. The operatives dwellings are nicely situated in a pine grove. It. manufactures rugs and carpets in manygradis. It sells its out-put in all sections of the country to the amount of many thousands of dollars annually. The employees are the most skilled and intelligent, as their line of industry requires thought amt an eye for color ell cts, in addition to operating difficult Jacquid looms. On February 17th 1899, the voters of the tnvn decided by a vote ofJ278 to 29 to exempt the carpet mill Jfrom mu nicipal taxes for li*.e years, thus show ■ iug the appreciation of the tirst Southern carpet mill by the pro gressive|cily of Galfney. In the last issue of The Ledger a full list ofthf dealers in North and South Carolina is recorded to be multiplied by the same number throughout the United Slates. Their success is due to three cardinal points, namely: First, an assortment of patterns sufficiently large to please the individual taste of each customer und equalled by the best foreign and domestic offerings. Second, goods of sterling valu Third, prices commensurate with values given. They have studied such points for years, and have proven their ability to combine these requi sites, hence the demand for their goods which are sold in thirty-nine states, and thus Galfney is now known all over the country. JAny of the deal ers whose names are ^printed in that list will be very glad indeed to sup ply the consumer with anything de sired in carpets, rugs or mattings A small order is given as prompt ut« tention as a large one. They are “in business’’ “to do business” und re spectrally solicit your patronage, thereby aiding this home industry to turn out a far greater production They wish you the merriest kind of Christmas filled with joy and a pros perous New Year and new century. It is a mutter of gratification toMr. J.E Bierck, president ana treasurer, that the success estimated has been at tained, and who says, “that before many years the South will be the greatest manufacturing centre of the country.” He has been in this busi ness all his life, is thoroughly ac quainted with all its details, having passed through each stage from the lowest. Under his direction the rest of the management have helped to make this mill a success in their own departmenrs, each one being manager by persons who have had charge of those special departments for many years, and of tried experience and ability.

GANGER Sufferers from this horrible malady neaily always inherit it — not necessarily rom the parents, but may l»e from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly joisou may lay dormant in the blood fot years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap pearance— or a awollen gland in the •roast, or some other part of the !>ody, gives the first warning. To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma nently all the poisonous virus must Ik diminated from the Mood—every vestage >f it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and s the only medicine that can reach deep- jeated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns. Cancer begins often in a small way, as the following Idler from Mrs Shirer shows: A small pimple enme on my isw about an inch below the ear on the left side of my face. Itgav* me no pain or inconven- einee, and I should have forgotten atsmt it had it not hetyun to inflame and Itch ; it would bleed a little, then scab over, but «ould not heat. This continued for some lime, v,hen my jaw began to ■well, be com iug very painful. The Cancer be- «>an to eat and spread, until it wasas large as* half dollar, when I heard of S. S. S. and determin- tdto give it a fair trial, e.nd it was temarkahle what a wonderful effect it had from the very beginning; v he *orebeg*n to heal and after taking a few tx>ttles disappeared entirely. This was two ye; rs ago ; theie are still no signs of the Cancer, and my general heatlb continues good.—Mrs R.
