This Looks Like Business.

COLUMBIA, 5. C.-Very' few people
have any idea what big thing the new
Columbia Cotton MIL Is to bo. 1t will
perhaps DC six or eight months before
the mill begins operation, but some idea
of the capacity and extent of the pro-
ject might be had from the present work.
To begin with, 1t is located on the upper
side of the Canal near the Gcrvais street
bridge. It's an L shaped structure.
The front is 4l2 feet, the main building
Is 104 feet wide. The wing nearest the
Canal is 129 feet long and that fronting
line east 139 feet which is to be extended
to 3s7 feet. The main building is to be
five stories high, and the east wing three
AID four stories on account of the slope
In the ground. The company claim that
the mill whon completed will be the
largest in the State, and the largest
ducking mill in the world. Work was
started on the 10th of April, and the build.
ing is now beginning to look like some
of the valuable property to spend at
least $3.50, 900, and in the purchase OF
machinery quality will be the first con.
sideration. The machinery will be op
Grated by motor power from the Columbis
Canal, and quite an innovation in the
shape of individual electric motors foi
every piece of machinery will be introd7c
ed. Heating and ventilating machinery
will be used, and everything will be
equipped with the very latest mechanism
that can be had. Duckipg and drilli
will be manufactured, and a specially
will be made of the heavy canvas thai
is used in sail making. The capacity oI
the mill will be the same as is expressed
by about As, 600 cotton spindles.
1t is said that the mill will give EN-
p,oyment to about 1,400 operatives
which means that about 5000 people
will be brought here by the new mill
1t is the intention of the company to ust
as much native labor as possible. A
the outset only few experienced work
mtn will be brought here, and they viii
be expected 10 drill the native labor.
The company has started the construc.
ton of 100 houses that are TO be used by
the operatives. The new town is being
bull! ;a Lexington County, just across
the river.

One Taken, tho Other Left.

over the body of Eva Everly, a colored
woman, who was killed in tho Rafting
Creek neighborhood on Monday night
by lightning. The woman was sitting
with her back toward the fireplace hold
ing baby in her lap, when the chimney
was struck and she VAS instantly killed
by the shock, but the baby was not in
jurod. There were no burns or other
marks on the body showing the effect Of
lightning. The electric discharge was
very severe throughout this section,
several trees and house being struck in

SHOT AND KILLED IN THE PULPIT
Pastor Of the Baptist Church OF
Gastonia, Meets His End.


GAsToNIA, N. C.-Distressing tidings
have Just reached here of the tragic
death in California of Rev. E. F. Jones,
pastor of the Gastonia Baptist church.
A member of his congregation, visiting
in tho mountains, writes that on Friday
telegram went to Mrs. Jones at Boone
bearing the shocking intelligence that
her husband was shot and killed in his
pulpit in Dixon, CAL, last Sunday. No
other particulars are known.
Mr. Jones was called to the pastorate
of the Gastonia church last spring. Hav-
ing trip tc California in view, ne came
by Gastonia, preached twice on Sunday,
May ID, accepted the call, and on Monday
resumed his journey, intending on his
return in September to move his family
here from their Watauga home and enter
actively upon the work of his new field.
He went directly to Oakland, CAL, and
was the guest of his old friend and COLA
borer, Rev. J. G. Pulliam, for whom he
preached some. A few weeks ago he
went to Dixon, not far from Oakland, to
supply for Rev. w. T. Jordan while be
visited his old home in western North
Carolina. He was thus engaged in sup
plying for Mr.. Jordan when killed.
This totally unexpected report of a
tragedy so utterly inexplicable falls like
thunderbolt upon his congregation here
and friends everywhere, and would, or,
of sheer reluctance of belief, be dis
credited but for its directness and appar-
ent reliability.
The letters Mr.. Jones wrote home both
to the papers and to his friends deplored
the gambling, drinking, racing, Sabbath
desecration and other popular forms OF
sin witnessed by him on every hand; but
while they indicated that he was not
euamored of high life in California, still
he seemed to enjoy especially preaching
the gospel as he knew it.
But he was man of force, of great
natural tenderness, of fervent spiritual.
mindcdpess, and not a man OF violent
of Incorporate speech. Over most men
and many preachers he possessed one ad-
vantage-he had religion. AS a ser.
want of the Most High he was fearless.
If he felt God calling him to rebuke open
sin end warn the perpetrators of it, he
obeyed the call with the loyalty of O
heaven-born zeal.

LEVI p. MORTON'S LOSS.
Burning of Large Barn With Horses

Burning of Large Barn With Horses
and Cattle, All Worth $500, 900.
A Kingston IN. W dispatch Wed
nesday says: Fire at o'clock destroyed
the large barn on ex Vice resident
Morton's place, at Ellerslie, near Rhine
beck, chicken house, carpenter shop
and other buildings. There were nine
ho;scs. eighty head of Guernsey cattle,
several hundred tons of hay, a number
of reapers and moving machines and
other valuable property destroyed. The
total loss will be nearly $500, 900.
The barn was ono OF the largest in the
country, being 800 feet long. 1t was a
new one, being only completed a few
months ago, the old barn being destroyed
by f,e about year ago. The fire started
in the large barn, and the cause is not
known, but 1t is though to be of inccn,
diary origin. Since Sunday night there
have been s.veral incendiary fires 10

which are engaged in the manufacture
of these goods support schools, church
ea, libraries, hospitals, etc., for their

her goods into Europe, Asia and Africa,
and has limited market in Central and
South America. The exhibit of raw
stock, carded and spun cotton, and I'm,

varied displays ever made.

Several novelties in watches for ordi-
nary use are also exhibited. One watch
is so constructed that every time the case
is opened to see what time 1t 10, then
closed again, the spring is wound up.
This watch is repeater, striking the
hour and the minutes. Another watch
has two faces, one on each side. One
face gives the second, the minute, and
the hour of the day, notes with pointer
how nearly the watch is wound up, and
has two small faces, so that the time of
different cities in the world can be
shown. Turning the watch over and
opening the rear case, there is found q
perpetual calendar, which gives the day
Of the week, the day of the month, the
the month of the year, the phases Of the
moon, and 1t also contains thermometer
The watches in this one case are esti-
mated to be valued at $40O, 900.
Watches are shown in the Swiss de-
partment which display equal cunning
in this line Of manufacture. A ring
with watch set in the crown Is set in a
circle Of twenty-four diamonds, and,
like the watches referred to In the
French department, IL is wound up by
turning the entire watch upon its set

shown In this exhibit. which are mount
ed as butterflies, beetles, and ducks.
The cotton exhibit of Russia surpasses
that of all other foreign countries. II
is perhaps the most interesting, as it
shows the product In every stage from
the pod to its conversion into the finest
