The First Mill in South Carolina Builtin 1812 at Society Hill. From a recent Darlington special to the Columbia State we clip the following bit of interesting cotton mill history : In The State's report of the meeting at Aiken, Mr. Ileyward, candidate for governor, says : "In Horse Creek valley, now the bee hive in manufacturing Carolina, the first, cotton mill was built." If Mr. Ileyward means to say this was the first cotton mill ever built in this State he surely forgets that during the war of 1812 a cotton mill was built by Gen. David R. Williams, who had the machinery hauled from Philadelphia in wagons. The labor used was colored. This mill was situated at, Soeietv Hill in Darlinir ton county, and was used for many years after the war of 1 812. Btopv Ihn Cough anil Work* off lli? Col?l.

Making Baseballs. Cincinnati supplies practically the entire middle west with baseballs, and something like 125 people earn a living iu the baseball factories of the city. The process of making baseballs on a whole plan is a rather interesting one, consuming in a single season something like 8,000 skins. The scrap pings from the shoe factories, of which theuraw" balls are moulded, are stored in cellars of about one acre area, and from this material the balls are shaped bv hand. According to quality, the ball is bound by a few or several dozen rounds of cord. The "raw" calls are placed in automatic moulds, shaping the balls and at the same time pressing out all moisture to the tune of 300 gross a day. One employee will shape as many as 4,000 of the raw balls in a single day. The newly pressed balls are then sorted and allowed to dry out for a oeriod of from tr> four weeks, when their weight is reduced to perhaps five ounces. Something like 200 of these twine bound leather balls can be found in the bins at all times. In the meantime the skin covers for the balls have been seasoned and dressed on the floor below and as a last stage in the process rubbed back and forth against an upright blade to take out all the kinks in the skins and also whiten them. The covers cut from the skins by hand and sewed around the halls by women. Each woman is expected to finish fifteen dozen balls daily. From every skin from fifteen to thirty pairs of covers are obtained. All in all, it takes about six weeks to turn out a baseball, and the prices of the product will vary from 3 cents to $1.25. The largest sales are of the five cent balls. About twenty-eight varieties of balls are now turned out. Within the last five years the baseball trade in Cincinnati is said to hare exactly quadrupled itself. In addition to baseballs the factories turn out a considerable number of foot-balls. The skins for these are cut according to patern and sewed by machine. The stuffing and lacing are the worK oi girls. Each ball passes through seven pairs of hands in the course ol manufacture, while the boxing gloves, also a Cincinnati product, pass through about forty. An average of 150 pairs of gloves is t he daily output. Some 35,000 bats are made in Cincinnati every year. All but j the cheapest grade, which is ol j poplar, are cut from pbIi timber i ot varying sorts. 'I'lie Ssiiitt 01<! Ni'or) . I. A.
