PLANS DOUBLED
FOR WATTS MILLS.
Now Company is to Have
30,000 Spindles.
UNUSUAL PROSPECTS.
Machinery at Remarkably
Low Prices.
Contracts All Made aud Work Has Be*
gun?What it Means for the
Urowth of Laurens.
When the building of the new Watta
Mills was projeoted last summer. 10,
000 spindles was the size of the plant
first considered. Then 15,000 spindles
was determined upon. Now tbe final
eoislon is to bu'ld a 30,030 spindle
mill?just threo times what was at first
suggested.
Ten years ago Laurona was strug
gling in vain to build a 5,000 spindle
mill at a cost of $100,030. All efforts
failed. Then in 1895-06 the Laurens
Mills at a first cost of over half a mil
lion was built. Now Laurens builds a
80,000 spindle mill and thinks nothing
of tho achievement. It soarcely cre
ates a rifllo of talk.
The increase In slzo is made simply be
cause this happens to be a peculiarly fa
vorable time for buying mill machinery
Consequently the new mill, while it
be (quipped with the highest class of
spindles and looms for spinning fine
goods, will be built at as low cost as
any over built in the South?perhaps
at a decidedly lower cost.
The construction of a mill of this size
on the borders of tho town will mean a
great deal to Laurens. In the first
place It will add largtly to tho taxable
values of the county. It will bring
more cotton to Laurens. It will add a
population to tho suburbs of Laurens
of 1,000 people, creating a market for
farm and garden and other produce.
This population will be engaged in the
making of line goods, requiring tbe
highest class of skilled labor and get
ting higher wages than the labor In
coarse cloth mills.
The contracts for tho construction of
tho mills have been made aDd Presi
dent W. E, Lucas has returned from
tbe North where he bought the ma
chinery.
The Laurens Cotton Mills has proved
tho best cotton mill investment ever
made in the South. It is the most suc
cessful mill In tho South. The Watts
Mills Is under the tame management,
after years of successful experience it
will be built in the same economical
way at a low cost per spindle. It Is un
derstood that the question of raising
the necessary capital has already been
solved and the company will not be
embarrassed by anybody's refraining
from subscribing. The Aovertiskr
morely wishes to point out that tbe
reasons are stronger for Laurens peo
ple to invest in this mill by far than
they were to Invest in the old mill
This mill will never have city taxes.
The Advertiser is cot insisting that
the new mill will build a great city
here but is simply Haying that if any
mill ever promised to be a paying in
vestment, this one does, and The Ad
vertiser urges that it is to the inter
est of Laurens to own just as much of
the mill as it can afford to own. It is a
f Aot that four-fifths of the stock has been
subscribed* The other fifth can be
raised outside of Laurens In a hour or
two. The opportunity remains, how
ever, for Laurens people to get some of
tho remaining fifth if they want it.

MISS NANNIE MABTIN DEAD.
Tribute to Her Beautiful Life and
Christian Character.
Miss Nannie Martin, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah Martin,
died at the home of her brother, Mr. A.
J. Martin, Saturday, January 24tb,
1008, and was buried Sunday afternoon
at the family burying ground near the
place of her birth.
Her death caused profound sorrow to
a large circle of relatives and friends.
Miss Nanle had been In bad health
for several years and because of this
was seldom away from home, but in
that home her lifo was a continuous
ministry of love and helpfulness.
In thoughtful consideration of others,
in loving cheerful servioe she beauti
fully illustrated the sentiment con
tained In the line: ? Kind deeds are
more than Coronet?."
Such a character, "contested in the
loom of Heaven," Is not without its re
ward, here and heroafter."
Four brothers survive her: Messrs. J.
P. and A. J. Martin of thiscounty, Mr.
J. W. Martin of Woodruff, and Mr.
BeoJ Martin of Mississippi; also one

CHILD LABOR BILL
HAS BEEN PASSED.
Opposition Developed In
the House.
HOW LAURENS VOTED.
Mr. Irby's Spoke In the
Bill's Favor.
Sir. Nichols for It and Mr. Ceoper
Against It?Other Important
Legislation.
The legislature has passed the child
labor bill.
This bill provides that after May 1,
of this year, for one year no child un
der 10 years may be employed in a cot
ton mill or raino. For the year follow
ing the ago limit is 11 years, and after
that 12 years is the limit.
The bill has already passed the sen
ate without muoh opposition. The vote
in the house was 60 for, 44 against.
Mr. Irby voted for the bill and spoke
strongly in its favor. Mr. Nichols
voted for it. Mr. Cooper voted against
It.
With tho exception of Alken and
Richland. representatives from the
counties where thero are most cotton
mills voted against the bill.
The legislature has not yet passed
tho biennial sessions bill. There is no
probability of any legislation of a radi
cal nature being passed.
The most important bill pending is
the assessment of property bill. This
Is a knotty question and will always be
knotty, no matter what the law may be.
Tho bill was killed in the houso Mon
day.
Senator Goodwin has introduced a
bill for the appointment of an oil in
spector at a salary of $100 a month.
This may be a good bill. They have oil
inspectors in Georgia. It is stated that
for the most part newspaper men are
appointed to this job In Georgia. Any
thing that will give better oil and help
newspaper men is a good thing. Of
course it is not a part of the bill that
newspaper men shall hold hold the job
but it might be a good idea if Senator
Goodwin or somebody else would put
that in the bill. They take good care
of newspaper men in Georgia.
Mr. Pollock of Chesterfield had a
bill to increase the price of dispeneary
liquor, but this was voted down, many
members believing that it would be an
outrage on the poor man. Lots of peo
ple in this country think liquor is too
high now. Of course they may be mis
taken.
The legislature wilt probably adjourn
about about Feb., 21. After that date
members would not receive nny pay if
they continued In session.

minister in tho city, and although in
the distance ho bears the outward re

Every Man and Woman May Exorcise

The man whose life is threatened
will s'rlko telling blows In self de

will write and speak vigorously In self

be less prompt and onergetlo In de
fending self from tho attacks of dis

But tho greatest danger Is that which
flows in the blood itself. Impurities
hero mean great discomfort and often

In eolf defence you should take
Hood's Sarsaparilla now. It is the sur
est means of warding off tho dangers
that undermine health. It expels from
the blood tho taints of scrofula, which
may have been Inherited, and defends
