A short time ago an article was published iu this paper outlining a new departure iu tbe manufacture of cotton goods in the South soou to be innovated by the Gaffney Menu- factuiingCompany, of this city; and also giving details of the proposed new finishing plant to be erected by this company as a result of some changes being made in their goods. Tuesday afternoon a reporter for The Ledger called upon Mr. S. L. Cutting, the efficient and very ac commodating superintendent of tbe Gaffney mills, and atked to be shown through tbe several departments where these changes are occuring. Being very busy, as be usually is, Mr. Cutting very obligingly escorted the reporter to the mill and looked up Mr. J. D. Buice, the able and popular “boss’’of the spinuiug de partment of the mill, and to him consigned the ta*k of showing The Ledger mao through tbe different rooms of the immense buildings and explaining to his untutored ears tbe intricate and novel processes by which our cotton is converted into beautiful fabrics of many colors and designs. The kevelations there made to The Ledger man were wonderful iu tbe extreme, and it is doubtful if few people in Gaffney, outside of those directly connected with the mill, are aware that such goods are being manufactured in our city. About sixty of tbe company’s im proved Draper looms have so far been fitted with tbe Mason Dobby attachment and thirty or more dif ferent colors and designs of cloth are being made, such as ebambries, madras, dobby weaves, waistiugs, and other fancy dress goods in stripes and tints and plain corded designs. Experiments are being made all the time with new patterns and a number of men are kept busy weaving new designs and making the necessary changes. It is certainly a pretty and novel sight to see these goods being made, and to follow tbe course of the tiny threads from tbe spiuniuDg room oo through the dye vats aod until they are woven to gether in solid colors or into fabrics of many hues and tints. One weaver can now operate eight or ten of the looms on colored goods, and in some cates more, while probably every loom under his control is making goods of different colors or different designs, each and every colored thread being placed in its proper place, and in its regular turn, with au accuracy aod precision that savors of human intelligence. Mr. Cutting said that the demand for these weaves is great and con stantly increasing, and that just as ! the demand increased just so would more looms be fitted and pot upon them Already 500 more Dobby attachmeots have been ordered aud i are expected to arrive at an early date, aud with these attachments almost any pattern or design of colored goods can be made oo the looms. Mr. Cutting also said in sub stance that it was the idea of his mill to keep up with tbe times, and as demands were msde for goods other than tbe kinds they sre now manu facturing, the necessary changes would be made to meet them—even to the chaugiog of the entire mill machinery. Plans and specifications for tbe new finisbiog plant are all ready and its erection will be begun in a very short whils. This buildiog will be 100x350 feet, two stories high, and will contain maebioery for bleaebiog, mercerizing and dyeiog yarns and waprs. and soaping, calendaring, tee tering and finiabing cotton piece goods in all tbe different forms. A couple of printiog maebioes will also be pot in for priotiog such goods as may be desired. This, of course, is au entirely new departure in the manufacture of cot ton goods in tbe South, aod the fin ishing plant will be the only one of its kind in tbs Southern States. Tbs erection of tbe plant Is brought about by tbe experiments now being msde by tbe company in tbs manu facture of colored fabrice, aud as more changes occur, other additioos will likely follow to comply with the new order or goods msde.

April 15. 1865." The bouse is a modest three story and basement brick edifice, and was owned and occupied by William Peterson at the time of the tragedy, and his family then conducted a lodg- 1 ing bouse there. It was one of his lodgers who, upon bearing the commo tion in the street after the shooting bad occurred and the assassin had escaped, rushed to the door and, see ing the stricken president being brought across the street, directed the carriers to bring him into tbe house of which he was an occupant.—Dr. Thomas Cal- ver in Woman’s Home Companion.

He was long held captive by a native chief, but finally succeeded In getting hack to civilization with collections worth 72.- 000 florins, which he gave as presents to Austrian institutions.

If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more conwc- ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. / In a store where the employ# sells goods side by side with his clwks it is rare that tha employer wil 1 not be the beat talesman. The reason le simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
