This Looks Like Business.

COLUMBIA, s. C.-Very' few people
have any idea what big thing the new
Columbia Cotton MIL Is to be. 1t will
perhaps be 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 Gervais street
bridge. tits an L shaped structure.
The front is 412 feet, the main building
is 104 feet wide. The wing nearest the
Canal is 1919 feet long and that fronting
the east 130 feet, which is to be extended
to 3S7 feet. The main building is to be
five stories high, and the east wing three
aud four stories on account of the slope
In the ground. The company claim that
the mill when 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
thing. 1t is the intention OF the owners
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 Columbia
Canal, and quite an innovation In the
shape of individual electric motors for
every piece of machinery will be iptrod7c.
ed. Heating and ventilating machinery
will be used, and everything will be
equipped with the very latest mechanism
that can be had. Duckipg and drills
will be manufactured, and speciality
will be made of the heavy canvas that
is used in sail making. The capacity Of
the mill will be the same as is expressed
by about As, 900 cotton spindles. 4
1t Is said that the mill will give EN-.
pleyment 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 use
as much native labor as possible. Al
the outset only few experienced work
mtn will be brought here, and they will
be expected 10 drill the native labor.
The company has started the construc-
tion of 100 houses that are TO be used by
the operatives. The new town is being
built in Lexington County, just across
the river.

which are engaged in the manufacture
of these goods support schools, church

her goods into Europe, Asia and Africa,

SHOT AND KILLED IN THE PULPIT
Pastor Of the Baptist Church Of

Pastor Of the Baptist Church OF
Gastonia, Meets His End.
GAsToNIA, N. C.-Distressing tidings
have just reached hero 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.
Dir. Jones was called to the pastorate
of the Gastonia church last spring. Hay-
ing a trip to California in view, he 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 fails like
thunderbolt upon his congregation here
and friends everywhere, and would, out
of sheer reluctance of belief, be dts.
credited but for it's 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
dssecration and other popular forms of
sin witnessed by him on every hand; but
while they indicated that he was not
enamored 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
mindcdness, and not man OF violent
of Incorporate speech. Over most men
and many preachers he possessed one ad-
vantage-he had religion. AS ser.
want of the Most High he was fearless.
If he felt God calling him to rebuke open
sips ssnd warn the perpetrators of it, he
obeyed the call with the loyalty of
heaven-born zeal.

What a Reserve" is For.

The pulling query what the
800 600 600 of gold in the Treasury.
called reserve" is for is answered
by the Philadelphia Press. In its
answer the Press says:
"There may break any day, with
out warning or with but little notice,
one of those sudden financial storms
in which banks, trust companies and
great firms would have to pour their
greenbacks and United States notes
on the Treasury and ask for gold.
This is exactly what the reserve is
for, and at least 500 100000 is
needed for this purpose
So the people are to pay 81 600, 900
a year TO keep hundred millions OF
idle god lying in the public Treasury
waiting till the banks, trust com
panies and great firms, which specu
late and gamble in gold. over-reach
themselves some day, when they can
fly to the naalonal Treasury, where
the tax payers have been keeping
millions of idle gold at their own
expense, in order to save these gam
blers from the consequences of their
own reckless exploiting! This is so
brazen and contemplate piece of
lmpudence on the part of the gold
bugs, that the public had not even
suspected it. This bit of information
by the Wall street organ cannot fail
to fill the public with intense disgust.
And rs if to make the dose still more
nauseating the public is informed
that the bank of England manages
this way. Well, we are glad to
know what that reserve" is for at
last, and hope as well as believe it
will be taken out of the canvas sacks
and put to use before the half of l6
more years roll by.
