Major Willis returned yesterday
from New York, whittier he had gone
several days ago on business. The
Major had nothing especial to re.
port concerning his trip, but he is
very enthusiastic about the Gala
Week, which he says will be the
largest yet, as far as crowds are con-
cerned. It looks as if every family
in the country will send some rep

to bear abundant fruit.

one of the committees, has received
Il letter from Asheville in which the
writer stated that the South Carolina
contingent in that city, and q num-
Der of northern people there, were
contemplating taking in the festivi

down the main street Of the town,
but thtre was no one awake, and he
was literally roasted alive. When

Communicated
The DeKalb Cotton Factory.

Are the people of this community
going to let the Cotton Factory pro-
iect 60 by default? This is serious
question. The first instalment of'2O
per cent was called in on the 18th,
and while the result ought to have
been $4,000. it fell short by nearly
50, ,OOO-which $4,000 represents
SO, 900 of stock. Now, if the $500
is not made up. 5000 promised con.
ditionally, will be also lost, which
will leave only $4,000. WI at are
we to do? The answer is plain
When we promise to do anything
when we subscribe our names to an
important list like the subscription
list of Cotton Factory, something
that we need so badly-why it is our
bounden and sound duty to perform
what we promise. If some one who
have been talking Cotton Factory
even ad aauseum, fail to act when
the time comes, it is shown that they
can not be depended upon on OF er
and less important occasions; aud, il
they do not pay, it is the duty of
others. under the existing circum-
stances, to make up the deficiency.
For the sake Of our community, and
our business, let us carry this pro.
ject through, and not let the outside
world say that there is no life in
Camden. Outsiders will deride and
sneer at us, and those members OF
the commun ty who have heretofore
stood up for old Camden on all occa|
sions will get sick of talking of false
hopes, and act accordingly.
let all stop and think what a serl
lous blow this failure will be, and
don't let us again mention the word
failure. but all 60 to work and raise
the lacking funds
1t is not too late. Pay up a. once
and let the charter be obtained. Ii
we can't get a Factory on these easy
terms, how will any sort OF Factory
or mill ever be built in Camden
1t is useless to explain the advan.
tages of Factory, for no one will
deny that is what we need.

The Agricultural Experiment

SPARTANBURG, October H. Spe'
cial to the Register. The State Ex'
perimetal Station IN this city, under
the management of ex-senator Wof'
ford, was burned to-drv at 3 o'clock,
The large two.story Ii, use was used
by Mr.. Woford as a barn and gin
house. When the fire was first dis
covered it was small, but everything
being very dry the spread was re-
markably rapid, and before anything
could be done the whole house was
a mass of flame. A few head OF
horses 10 the born were by quick
work saved, BIT the contents, with
the exception of few bales OF badly
damaged cotton, were a complete
loss. The house contained l,5oo
bushels cotton seed, 60 bushels peas,
40 bushels wheat and q large amount
of provender.
A fact especially n" iceable was
that the irte bagging burned mncA
more rapi lly than the cotton bag:
ging. Good authority says that had
several bales been packed in cotton
that were wrapped in jute, they could
have haen slved.
1t took hard work to save the resi-.
dencn of MIR. W"tfjor.l nn'! had not

The loss is stimat"l | at between
$4,000 and $1,000; Insurance SSOO.
The house being on the outskirts
of the city, the fire department was
unable to render assistance. The
amount of insurance, it is believed,
will rebuild the house.
