Away back in lS43 little barefoot
ed boy went into the old Rockfish
cotton factory for employment. The
old Rockfish factory was situated on
little Rocllfsh creek, at the point
where now is located the Hope Mills
No. l. This boy was seven years old
and was very small, but what there
was of him was made of the kind of
material out of which they make great
men. He was too small TO manage a
knitting frame or to do almost any
other work in the mills, bat he could
carry spools, bring water, and run en-
rands. The wages connected with a
position of this kind was but a pit
lance week, but it carried with it
the opportunity to learn, and some
chances for promotions; SO our little
hero was duly installed into the posi-
ton of spool carrier.
He had love for mechanism and de-
termination in his makeup, SO it was
but few years before he could man
age a machine. A few more years and
he could not only manage but mend
or make a machine. Before he was
twelve years old he was spinner, and
when Sherman came along and burn
ed down the factory, the spool carrier
had arisen to the position of superin-
tendent of the spinning department,
and for the first time in his life was
out of a Job. But not for great while,
in less than three years he was super
intendent of the Granite Mills at Haw
River where he remained until 1872
when his health failed, and he was
forced to take a little. rest, short
while After this ne went and buried
himself $50 some people would call
it, in the pine forest OF Richmond
county in little cotton factory near
Laurel Hill, having less than one thou
sand spindles and even these were old
and worn out.
To-day that boy is a man, a man full
of years. years crowded with incessant
work. with honors and with success.
He is now the principal owner and of
fetal head of three important cotton
factories. and owns stock in others and
is a recognized authority in the bust
ness of cotton spinning and weaving
in the South.

ANOTHER FAST SHIP
AVERAGE OF 2O.b KNOTS AN HOUR
MADE BY THE ST. PAUL.
Expected to Equal the Record of the
st. Louis When the Stiffness of Her
Machinery Has Worn Away.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. 4.-The big
Cramps, Of Philadelphia, as sister ship
TO the st. Louis for the International Navi-
cation Company's line, made an average
trial trip of almost lightweight knots over
the governments course off this coast to-
day, and scored another decided success
for American ship builders In every re-
spect the trial was most satisfactory one.
The vessels machinery worked perfectly
there was no foaming OF the boilers as on
The preliminary run last Wednesday, and
the vessel cut through the waves gracefully
and easily with a noticeable lack of vibra-
tions. Her builders and the officials of the
International Navigation Company were
we'll pleased with the result of
the trial. and are confident that
after she has been docked and
her bottom has been cleaned, a little
work will greatly add to her speed, and
when the stiffness of her machinery has
worn away, she will equal the st. Louiss
record of 22.S knots an hour. To-day's
trial was under the supervision of the gov
ernment trial board, which took careful
notes of the vessels performance to de-
termine her eligibility as a United States
mail steamship and as an auxiliary cruiser
war; She meets fully the speed require
ments of twenty knots an hour. proved
herself STEADY and powerful ard in every
respect she met the demands of the govern
ment. All attending conditions being con-
sidered, the builders and owners of the ves-
sci are we'll satisfied with the work <of
the ship. and believe that she will prove
her class.

Contracts from the Japanese.

Contracts from the Japanese.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.--Irving NJ
Scott, the president of the Union Works,
is coming on the China, which is due here
next week. but he is not bringing any
contracts to build battle ships for the Jap
anese government. On board the China is
also General Williams, one of the agents Of
the Cramps. who was I'm Japan for the
same purpose as Mr.. Scott, and whose
mission met with the same result. These
gentlemen are bringing the news that the
Japanese government has not decided to
let the contracts for four new battle ships
to American shipbuilders, two of which
will be constructed in this city, as an
nounced by William E. Curtis, who arrived
from the Orient on the last trip Of the
Gaelic. The Japanese government has not
let any contracts for addition to it's navy
to American or other foreign shipbuilders,
for the reason that until the Imperial Diet
meets in November the Minister of Ma
rine will not know just what money will
be at his service. Even after applications
are made, it is doubtful whether any con-
tracts will be made with American ship
builders, at least not for some time, the
reason being that the people of the Mi
kado's empire have become suddenly i'm
pressed with the idea that they can con-
struct their own battle ships and cruisers.
This decision, of course, shuts out British
and German shipbuilders, as well, from
a slice Of the Japanese maritime patron
age Mr.. Scott discovered one thing in
Japan, and that is that the Japanese naval
department is not as prone to admire the
English style of marine architecture as
our cousins across the water would have
people believe. Representatives of ship
builders were there in abundance, and not
a few of England's best war vessels have
been manuevering in Japanese waters for
exhibition purposes. German and French
shipbuilders were present, but the real con-
test was between the agents of the Union
Iron Works and the Cramps, for the United
states. and two three of the largest
English ship yards.
and the Minister of Marine viii ask for a
liberal appropriation for the Increase of
the war marine. After this matter is set
tied 1t will be in order for foreign ship
builders to submit facts and figures about
their handiwork. All propositions will be
carefully considered. but IL is generally
believed that the first contracts let will
be for armored cruisers of composite
style of American and English designs. and
that native bidders will be given the pref
erence, providing the bids are anything
near as low as those of other countries.
After this is disposed of it is settled that
there viii he a special competition for
original designs of war vessels open to the
world. In this competition Mr.. Scott hopes
to succeed in getting b plum or two. The
Cramps will also make a strong effort

armor, and the armament would have to be
purchased elsewhere. 1t is said the Japan

BLOODY CHISEL STORY
A NEW MYSTERY DEVELOPS IN THE
NOTED HINsHAw CASE.
A. l.. Miller Seems 10 Have a Secret
Strange Manner in Which
He Was Shndowed.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


DANVILLE, Ind, Oct. 4-The mystery
of the Hinshaw case will not cease New
figures appear upon the scene and new
questions are asked. Three weeks ago one
A. L. Miller. formerly citizen here. now
of Sheridan, Ind, came to Danville. He
was excited and sought an Interview with
the defendant This was refused and he
wanted to talk in private with the de-
fendant's brothers. They told him they
would not talk except in the presence of
their attorneys. Miller did not like this
idea, but consented He said he was
travelling sewing machine agent. He did
not know where he was the night of the
Hinshaw murder, but he did not hear of
it until a month afterwards. He said that
for some time he had been shadowed by a
man. He could go nowhere without this
decided to come TO Danville. A letter from.
detective McGraw, Of Indianapolis asking
him to meet him at certain house in
Indianapolis further worried him. When
Miller went there, the people OF the house
said they did not know McGraw. Miller
drove to Danville and the man shadowed
him. One time the man. drove ahead of
him. Miller stopped over night at his
county, and that night some one was
around the house. Miller and his shadow
came to Danville. The man followed him
everywhere, even to the stairway that led
to the lawyers office. Miller was visibly
figured in the case.
He then said that one day a month
after the tragedy, as he walked west on
al
mile west of town. near the Belleville road.
he saw a man in a field working at
log. Miller thought he was after a RABBIT
and went to him. The man cursed Mil
Ter. who says the man was taking from
of everalls and cap. Miller then left the
man. Miller said he could not yet tell
everything, that he was going TO Carters-
burg that night The next day Miller was
seen and he was asked how his visit
there turned out. He said he started TO
walk west again on the railroad. and
the oT his We w5o had
him from Sheridan, came down the track
and asked him what he was doing. Miller
was frightened and turned back. The
trial being on then no attention was paid
to the story, but is now being investigated.
Miller formerly lived here and sold sew
ing machines for the Fair store. He was
speculation, more especially as he did not
ask for money for what he knew. There
was no doubt he was much concerned over
his shadow. 1t is a singular fact that for
q day or so just after the murder, there
was a rumor of a bloody chisel and
pair of overalls being found. Miller left
town, saying he could not tell everything
until he talked with some other people.
There is detective McGraw in Indian
apolis, but few days ago he stated to a
Journal reporter that he had had nothing
to do with the Hinshaw case.
