IT IS DOUBLED.
THE THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLAR HILL
CERTAIN.
Progress In the Building -Heady for
the Painter and (Hauler The Fac
tory Village What Was Done
at Tuesday's Meeting.
The stockholders of the Lanrcns Cot
ton Mill have deolded to increase the
capital stock of the mill from two hun
dred thousand to three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
Not many months gone the average
i .aureus man would have flouted the
idea that such a mill would be built in
Laurens. Once it seemed that Lau
rons was not and would never be in the
mill building business.
But it is. settled now. Already a
splendid four-story structure crowns
the big hill in the angle of the Laurens
and Nowberry and P. R. & W. C. rail
roads, in the eastern part of the elty.
It is a handsome and Substantial build
ing, designed to. meet all the require
ments for the production of cotton
goods, by the best and most economical
methods known to modern manufac
turing. It is daily nearlng completion.
It is the simple truth to say that one
may stand by and see tho walls of the
engine and bollor rooms rise before'his
eyes.
It is a wonderful sight, tho scone of
industry at the mill move?everything
moves at the Laurens Cotton Mill, and
under the constant watch of President
Lucas, the motion Is like clockwork.
Tho roof is on the building and the
doors aiv. laid. In a few days the ceil
ings will be completed. In a month
tho painters and the glaziers will have
finished their labors. When the ma.
chinery begins to arrive on Novembor
15th, there'll be no wait. The house
will bo ready for it and it will be
promptly put in.
Boforo tho closing days of the winter
tho clash and the clatter and the hum
will begin, and a column of blank smoke
will pour from the mouth of the 190
foot stuck. The mill will be in opera
tion. A few yards farther to the east,
tho hills will be covered with a village
of neot cottages. The ''town" has been
laid out and tho construction oi the
cottages commenced.
the increase in capital.
It came about in this way. Tho man
agement of the mill, being sensible
mon, understand that the bigger the
mill, tho cheaper, proportionately, can
it bo operated. The investment of
$200,000 was sufficient to convinoe men
with money that it is intended that the
Laurens mill shall make money. It
was therefore thought feasible and
good policy to put in as big a plant as
possible. Comparatively, it will cost
little more to place engines and boilers
for a $350,000 mill than for the $200,000
mill. It w ill cost relatively little more
to ofllcer the larger than the smaller
mill. In short, the prinoiple of "di
vision of labor" makes the profit to the
investment vastly greater, the bigger
tho plant.
Anybody thon can see that the in
ducement to tako the new stock is much
stronger than it was to take the old
stock. For with the enlargement of
the mill it is certain that the stock
will earn very much better dividends.
Knowing this; and knowing that iL WfW -
practical to increase, the company
promptly detormlned to do so.
the meeting
Of stockholders was hold at 11 A. M.,
last Tuesday, in Mr. N. B. Dial's of
fice. Over 1600 shares were repre
sented. Capt. Albert Dial presided,
and Dr. J. P. Simpson was secretary.
On Motion of Mr. W. H. Martin, tho
increase already stated was unani
mously resolved upon, subscribers to
tho new stock to come in on the same
terms as the origiual takers. The lat
ter, until November 1st, are to be al
lowed the privilege of taking the new
stock (as is usual with all coropora
tions) in preference to outsiders. Tho
first installment on the new stock will
not be called In before Jan. 1st.
No doubt remains that tho additional
stock will be subscribed with alacrity.
It is generally understood that the
progress already made in the enter
prise has been remarkably encour
aging and satisfactory.
the builders.
The fact that Laurens will have her
big mill Is due mainly to the ability
displayed by tho gentleman who has
boen chosen president. Few men
could so have impressed investors in
tho putting in of a plant as to encour
ago them to double its size before oper
ations had bogun. So far as The Ad
vertiser is aware, there is no parallel
to this in tho history of cotton mills in
South Carolina.
Croat credit in the building of the
mill is also due to Mr. II. S. Chadwick,
of Charlotte-, N. O. the engineer and
architect. Mr. Chadwick thoroughly
understands mill building, and what is
bettor, ho knows how to design a good
building, suited to its purposes, which
will not cost a mint of money. No
young man in the country is doing
more for mill construction In tho South
than Mr. H. 8. Hardwlck, and It has
been largely through his efforts and
influence that northern capitalists have
become interested, not only in tho
Laurons mill, but in various others
throughout this section.

MARRIAGE.
A beautiful wedding was solem
nized on the '2nd inst., at the resi
dence of Mr. W. M. McCastin. Miss
Marie, the eldest daughter, whose
grace of character and heart arc so
well known to all, was married to
Mir. William Brook: Owens, a pros
perous" dfy goods merchant and
sterling citizen of Clinton.
As Miss Nannie McCaslan played
the wedding march, Misses Addic
Horton and Laura Vance entered
the parlor, the former bearing on a
silver waiter the wedding ring.
Then followed the bride and
groom. The ceremony was per
formed in a very impressive and
touching manner by Rev. J. P. An
derson, of La Grange, Georgia, a
brother-in-law of the bride.
The hu ge display of beautiful and
costly presents testified the high cs
teem in which the contracting par
tics were held.
The happy couple left on the
noon vestibule train for a week's
stay in Atlanta taking in the sights
of the Inter national cotton States
Exposition. They were escorted
to the depot by a large delegation
of friends and relatives who wish
lor them a long lite of unalloyed
happiness. ^
In Your Blood
is tho cause of that tired, languid
feeling which afflicts you at this sea
son. The blood is impure and has bo
come thin and poor. That is why you
have no Strength, no appetite, cannot
sleep. Purify your blood with Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which will give an appe
tite, tone your stomach, and invigorate
your nerves.
Hood's Pills are easy to lake, easy in
action and sure in eiVect. l^?c.
