Q Mr Wilkins was apparently in the full enjoyment of his usual good p health -yesterday morning, and he v greeted his friends all day with that n sanfl sunny disposition that is the p 0 dominant characteristic of his na- t ture. He, with Messrs E C Bur- e gess, L D Rodgers and R K Wallace, o Esq, was engaged during the day v taking an inventory of the bankrupt n stock of H Riff. Occasionally, as for the past several days, Mr Wil- a kins complained of his right leg ii hurting, but this trouble was thought * to be slight and 4 did not seem to J hinder him in getting about. ^ He,with the other gentlemen nam- f or! nVmvft lpft thp hnnlcriint sf-nrp f about 5:30 p. m. and Mr Wilkins 1 went to his place of business and was u + r engaged with his clerk, Mr Robt Burgess, when suddenly he asked p Mr Burgess to catch him. The words ii had scarcely left his lips when he sank on a box by the counter where s v he was standing. Mr -Burgess and ^ Mr S W Mcintosh reached .him in c time to prevent his falling to the a floor. He immediately called for P water .and took seyeral' swallows ? from the glass. By this time he j, had lost consciousness and physi- v cians were summoned.

Mr Wilkins was taken home soon ' after six o'clock; there physicians n and friends did everything possible b to make him comfortable and allevi- 8 e ate suffering. Until about 2 o'clock o > f i ? this morning there was no percep- v tiole Change in his condition, but $ later on he began to rally, pulse and p respiration became about normal, 8 he regained consciousness, also a - slight use of his right leg and 'arm. f At 6 o'clock this morning Mr Wilkins' condition had so mfcich improvI ed that his friends wfcre sanguine of r his ultimate recovery, at the same I time extending deepest sympathy to \ their stricken friend and his family, j His sbns, W T, Jr, and Joseph, = cadets at the Porter Military academy, Charleston, were wired for ti last night and reached home early E this morning. ?tm s * * A Editor Wolfe at Hendersonvllle. v G Friday morning on train No 80 Editor Chas W Wolfe was taken to Hendersonville, N C, where he was c placed in Edgemont sanitarium for | treatment.

This enterprise was established a ittle more than five years ago, and pas the first bottling; plant in this ection of the country, and one ,mong the first in the South to intall automatic machinery for soakng, cleaning and rinsing bottles, 'heir business has steadily increased rom year to year, making it necesary to increase their capacity. Some time ago a larger and more omplete outfit was installed, com>osed of a large Twentieth Century automatic Soaking Machine, in irhich each bottle is sterilized, submerged for several minutes in a owerful cleaning solution which ats out the dirt from the pores of he glass, and chemically cleans ach bottle. The bottles then pass n and are inverted on a rapidly reviving bristle brush of an automatic brushing and rinsing machine, nd at the same time streams of iure, fresh water, under full pressure re shot up into each bottle, rinsig them thoroughly. They are hen tafcen to the bottling machine /herethey are filled with a perfect ilend of Coca-Cola Syrup and Carbonated Water, making this delightully refreshing drink, always^ uniorm and of the same standard, 'he filled bottles, now ready for se, are placed in crates and are eady for delivery to our customers. Our water, although clear and >ure,is well filtered before it is used i carbonating drinks. Although our building is well creened, yet the syrup room is, /ithin itself, screened all around, 'he syrup is strained through double leaned cloths into the svrub jars, nd from these conveyed through protected tubes to the filling mahine. The floor is of concrete and nclined so that the water can rapidy get away. They are flooded and /ashed daily, "Absolute Sanitation" teing our watchword.
