Notes From ExGelsior Knlttin] Mill, j e<
Union, S. C., April 25.?Here I ; \]
come again, hut with scarcely a hit M
of news this time. Everything | f<
seems quiet except a ripple here i ^
and there, over the coming muniei- 11(
pal election, which is natural. We j r
h ive several good men who are i el
candidates. This scribe has not
nor will not express any preference,
as they arcall good and worthy men, i,,,
and I think either one fully conipe- h
tent to do any business that may r(
come before the authorities.
It is a common thing for mill o
people to change from one to ci
another mill, and the Excelsior :11
Knitting Mill is not an exception; ,
it is. almost everyday that families j
leave, but where we lose one, we I
generally gain another just as good.
Mr. Thomas Ilutchins. a careen- \ H
tcr of our town, left Monday for a
job in Tenn. The two Misses llol- j j1
bert, who worked in the mill here, 1
have recently left for their father's !V
home in Hendersonville, X. C., hut >
said they aimed to return again ;c
: this fall.
A Rev. Mr. Duggins, of the Hclincss
persuasion, commenced a series \
of meetings at the reading room

To The San Francisco Sufferers. ! q
The proceeds from the entertain- j
ment to be given in the opera house | ^
are to go to the relief of the San b
Francisco sufferers. The money tl
will be sent to the lodges of the K. : p
of P. in that city and by them (lis- i v
tributed to the needy among their i
members. The local lodge has grown i ^
to large proportions and has more t<
} candidates for initiation than it can t]
get through with for a long time to j]
come. Many of the local members I v
have contributed to the aid of the ! .
earthquake sufferers individually, ^
but all the proceeds of the entertain- d
ment will be contributed also. The j tl
local lodge also sent 850.00 by wire! ^
to aid the San Francisco sufferers 1 1
