Features of the years news have been the continuation of the move, ment toward the production of liner grades of cloth, Cue use of electricity as motive power, and an Increasing interest of Northern and New ISng Innd cotton manufacturers in South ern cotton milling.

An other instance is a Georgia mill capi talized at $200,000 almost entirely by Northern manufacturers, who will ship the plant's product to their Northern mills for conversion into oil cloth. Still another instance Is the $500,000 mill, with about 2o D00 spin dleB and 750 looms, which O. A. Rob bins of Charlotte proposes to build in the Piedmont section. Kkom W. 0. ?.

GRADE CROSSING IS NOT ALLOWED Railroad Commission Rules that ('oust . Line Cannot Cross Seaboard nt ( lieran at tirade. Donning its position as being op- j posed to grade crossings by railways in South Carolina end construing the law to that effect the railroad com mission Friday, by a majority vote, adopted the special report of Ct. Mc Duflo Hampton, which recommended -at the commission refuse to consent to the present plan of the Atlnntlc cast Line Railway to cross the Sea board Air Line railway on Front street in the town of Cheraw. .Tohn G. Richards will file a minority re port. The report states that the crossing "is dangerous to the traveling public nnd detrimental to the public at large."" The order says that the com. mission will consent to a crossing at Second street. Thfs aetfon by the commission ends a contest that has been in progress for the fast few weeks between the two railway com panies. The commfnsfon comes to the conclusion that it will not consent to any grade crossing and that If the Coast Line wishes to cross the Sea board at Front street, then it must cross on an' overhead bridge. The majority report was signed by Com missioners Caugbman and Hampton. Coast Line Railway asked for permis sion to cross the Seaboard Air Line with a Bpur track. Commissioners ?arle and Richards voted permission, provided there be an interlocking safety switch. Commissioner Caugb man dissented', stating that he did not believe that the crossing should be put in at the point asked. The com mission's order provided that the erossing be put in under the super vision of a civil engineer representing' the commission. S. It. Adams was appointed as an engineer to represent the commission. Monday ho made ro|>ort: to the com mission covering Iiis investigation. Commissioner Hampton went into office 011 Monday. He had not inves tigated the question and took the po sition that he should not vote on a question that he knew nothing about, He went to Cheraw and made a care ful investigation of the crossing.
