Long Wished For.
Henderson enters upon q new era
a career Of enlarged prosperity, let US
hope,-a greater Henderson in fact.
She joins the ranks of cotton manu-
featuring communities, and with every
assurance of success. She has the
men and the money, the location, the
transportation facilities and the raw
material-of the finest staple grown,
next to the famous Sea Island cotton
right at her doors. With these advan-
tages in her favor what is there to
stand in the way of success?
But we did not start out to write a
dissertation on the opportunities open to
| successful cotton manufacturing in our
midst. Every argument that might be
presented along that line is admitted.
This is manifest in the fact that shrewd
business men have put good money in
such an enterprise.
AS heretofore announced a company
has been organized and money sub
scribed to build and operate cotton
mill here. The notice of incorporation
is published in another part of this
paper. 1t is incorporated under the
name and style of the Henderson
Cotton Mills Company for a period of
80 years, on a basis Of 1925 200 capt.
tai. The following named officers
have been elected for the ensuing year:
Presidential. Y. Cooper; Vice Presi-
dent-Dr. F. r. Harris; Secretary-E.
G. Davis; Treasurer, J. Bailey Owen;
Directors-D. Y. Cooper, James Amos,
J. D. Cooper, NJ. Dorsey, N. G. Crews,
w. w. Rowland, D. H. Gill, J. II.
Lassiter, DR.. F. Il. Harris, Sam'l Wat
kins, J. p. Taylor, r. Perry, Geo. B.
Harris, J. B. Owen.
Of these gentlemen it is not neces-
sary for US to speak in any words Of
praise. Their names carry the weight
| of business tact and judgment, high
personal character and financial ability.
They are a tower of strength and ia
spire confidence and success in what
ever they undertake. AS will be OBJ
| served in reading the list of directors a
broad and liberal policy has been pur-
sued. Among the names are several
gentlemen who live in the country,
| successful farmers and some of the best
and most useful and honored citizens of
the county.
The location of the factory is an cx-
cellent one. 1t is the place bought of
Mr.. J. 3. Clements just beyond the
corporate limits on the Northeastern
| edge of town, embracing six acres.
The factory site has been laid off and
workmen are engaged digging for the
| foundation. This was done by Mr.. B.
Seidell, an engineer and expert mill
man, from Charlotte. Yesterday Capt.
T. w. Whisnant, of the Seaboard Air
Line, was here with his engineer and
laid off the side track, which will be
at once built from the main line to the
| factory. In this connection we may
| say that the railroad authorities are
fully sustaining their well known pol
icy of cooperation in the development
and promotion of industrial enterprises,
as we'll as giving prompt and consider
ate attention to the general conve-
nience and business welfare of indi-
viduals and towns along its lines.
The contract for building the fac tory
has not yet been given out, but in the
meantime work is being pushed ahead
until this is done, the contract bids Of
course being made from where the
company's work leaves off.
The Building Committee is: D. Y.
Cooper, president, Samuel Watkins,
DR.. F. r. Harris, w. W. Rowland, J.
A. Kelly, Silus Powell.
The plans and specifications may be
| seen at j. r. Young's office.

Grape Preserves.
AS this is the prese rving season and
grapes are abundant, we publish the
following recipe for making grape pre-
| serves, as taken from an exchange:
Pick the grapes from the stems, pop
the pulps from the skins, doing two at
time, one in each hand between the
thumb and forefinger. Put the pulp
| in porcelain kettle and stew gently
until the seeds are locsened then strain
and rub it through sieve. Weigh it
with the skins and to every pound Of
this allow one pound of granulated
| sugar.
Put skins and juice in the kettle,
cover closely and cook slowly, until
the skins are tender. While it is still
boiling, add the sugar and move the
kettle back, as it must not boil again.
Keep very hot fifteen minutes, then if
the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, pour
the fruit in glass jars and screw down
the covers as soon as possible.
