^ FROM BALE TO DALE.
^ While it is a fact that Union is
rapidly becoming a manufacturing
canter and cotton mills are springing
into existence on every hand and in
every direction; yet we doubt if a
Y very large number of our readers are
familiar with the method of making
cloth, and the number of machines
a' through which the cotton travels i.i
? the process of g >irg in at one end n
hnl? of cotton and co.i.i g out at the
other a bale of cloth ; so we thought
it might not be amiss and woti'd possibly
be appreciated by the unenlightened
to follow us as we take a look
through the machinery In a c >tton
mill, during its manipulation of the
fleecy staple from the time the bale
AO of cotton is opened until the cloth is
baled for shipment we will gi\e a
schedule of its route and the different
machines through which it travels.
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

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.

Tlie little lioy in saying hs was a
Methodist, "cause dad was" not only
answered for self but for thousands, as
many of us owe our christian beliefs far
more than we imagine to fivoring circumstances.

and believe for himself, an I in so doing
use all means within reach for the formation
of right and just, opinius. Jus'

God.
These wrong views or opinions not
only exist among the illiterate but are
found also among men of leanjjy^ ^n

and tenant arrayed against each

others cease to be on speaking tenns
and indulge perhaps in mutual hickbiting,
trying in every way possible to
hurt the. other fellow.
Oh how sad to see such igno-a'ic*

sellishnp'ss, pride, etc , in hearts
yet uncultivated.

ANXTR LAUUIF.
The Doctor and the Editor.
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. The editor helps
tnen to live better, aud the doctor
insists them to die easy. The (
