It is first opened in tho opening room from where it is carried by suction to the picker room, where it is er made into large rolls which are placed in the carding machines which <*- turns the cotton out In the shape of an endless roll, nearly the size of an ordinary roll for the old fashioned __ spinning whet I, it then goes to tho drawing frames, where tho roll is lenghthened and reduced from one frame to another, from lit re to the ''rr slubbers, where it is. still further rear duced and slightly twisted, and put er upon the first spool, these spools go to tho intermediates which continues to lengthen and twist the thread a little more, from this frame it goes f o r_ the speoder frame, still stretching >5 and twisting, then to tlie spinning ic frame where the final twisting of tiie is thread is done, from here it goes to f>r the spxders, these spools are then taken to tlie warping frame from ,n whieh they are unwound onto a very lirge beam, wh'ch is then taken to the f-lasher room, where it goes through the process of sizing the thread, from hore it is taken to the drawing in room, where each thread is drawn through the harness, from here it goes to the weave room and is put on the looms and t lie cloth is in_ in ide. which is then taken to the fiuDg ighing or cloth room, here it is run through a folding machine which folds the cloth in yajrd folds, then it ,1?rtAa 1 WitAnnK ilia ltn #*f thA 1 r? - jze spectors who examine every yard of yP it and mark the flaws or bad places ; ? /.UfK T 4" ?<? - ' ' ' the press where it is tightly packed in bales, covered with canvass and bound with strong rope and is ready il) for shipment a bale of cloth, in The modern cotton mill is a wonlis. derful invention and it is n very in)h, teresting sight to watch the process rj|y of making cloth. CAl'T. GRIFFIN KILLED. ote , , . , That was a sad tragedy which oc^ curred i_p 9fi1,whlicli "Capt! an John J. Griffin lost his life. The news spread like wild fire and the deepest interest has been manifest in ,;t_ the sad affair throughout the State, cjj and speculation has been rife as to Df the cause of the tragedy; as the men ,il, were known to be good friends. The (_gt circumstances, as reported, are about e(j as follows: Capt. Grifffin and M?j. Barnard B. Evans were in t h if 1 a I tor's room, a keg of Whiskey was In a xt corner; a pitcher of whiskey and to drinking glasses on table, also a id pistol with an empty chamber on the id table; a slick lying on the floor; s. blood on the floor and the bedstead; ( f a buttered hat on the floor, ardits [ii owner lying on rno ueu Witt) U U :i I lethole in his breast breathing his'life away. This was the^picture pretontig ed to the ga/9 of the doctor who first ^ie entered the room, in answer to a tele, ephone call from Mr. J). J5. Evans et who was also in tho room when the ro doctor arrived, ft seems a shot had je been heard, and in a fe\y rpinytes 1J. e. B. Evans eame down, phoned for the j h doctor and returned to lii-t room.] >y The doctor pronounce 1 Capt (iifTiin n to be dying. Mr. Evans became furious and refused to believe it and in charged the doctor witii trying to >f kill the patient. Ifo rtfysed to allow - the doctor to leave the room for n k new syringe he having broken the t- one he had. Tho doctor finally got e out. and reported the matter to tho >- ponce, and returned with them but i was ordered oijt several times by Mr o Evans. Evans was urrpijted and a takon to jail. Ife has ipade no skajee ment, except to say that Capb. tjrifd fin took his (Evan's) pistol out of the s drawer nnd shot himsolf with it. s I A coroner's jury found a verdict to y the effect that Cupt. (iriffln came to r Ms de^th by tho hand of If. B Evans, o The case will probably bo heard at : the fall term of court, t The sad affair In deplored all over the state as both were prominent men and have many friends throughout llio stat*. Capfc. G.rifTi i was a very popular railroad official and Mr. Evans is the brother of Ex-Governor, John (Jury Evans, and was prominent in politics last fall, polling a strong vote for the ofTloe of railroad commissioner. It is said that the sad ufTair is likely the result of temporary insanity, caused by drink. Mr. Evan's actions while in the room with the dying man were those of a madman. There has been quite an t ffort made to have a dispensary opened in Rock Hill, which town has been dry ever since tho Dispensary law went Into effect. An election on question was held reoently, and the dispensary factiop lost tho day, so the town will remain dry. One of the billion dollar trusts is getting into hot water.

The doctor from Algonia said that newspapers are run for revenue only. What in thuder do doctors run for, anyway? Do they run for glory? Oue good healthy doctor's bill will run his ?;v months. An editor works hull a day for three aouars investment of ?0,000, a doctor look9 wise arid works} ten minutes for $2,00 with an investment of three cents f r catnip and a pill b >x that co^ts $ 1 ,d? A doctor goes to college for thno years, gets a diploma and a string of i words the devil himself cannot proI nounce, cultivates a look of gravity that he pawns off for wisdom, gets a box of pills, a cayu-e and a meat saw und sticks out his shingle a full Hedged doctor, lie will then doctor you un il yu.? S\ stipulated prioe per visit, and puts them in uL?o. as your poeketbook will permit. An euuui nevor gets his eduoition finished; he learns as h ng n* he lives and studies | a1! his life, lie eats bran mash and liver, he lakes his pay in hams and turnip*, and keeps the doctor in town by relrtilting from printing the truth about him. We would like to live in Algoni i and run a newspnper six inoii hs and scs if the doctor would change his mind about our 'running a newspaper foil revenue only.' If we didn't get some glory out of it we would agree to take ono does of his pills, after firsts lying our prayers. If the editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for if; but if the doctor make* a mistake lie buries it. If we tn iko one there is a lawsuit, tall s*eiring and a etnell of sulphur; but if the doctor makes one there is a lun ral, out IJowefi and a smell of varriMi. The (lootor can use a word a foot long; but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another man's wife he will charge for it. If an editor cills on another man's wife he gets a charge of buckshot. Any medical college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor. Hp has to he born one. When a doctor gets drunk it is a c mse of ''overcome by Sir of " nn/1 I. a /!!/? it ?? ^ Mint it uc uko it is ncun ftilure. When an editor gets drunk it is n cause of too much boose and if he dies it is a cause of ^delirium tremons. The editor works to keep from' starving while the dootor works to ward off' the gout.
