THE DIE IS CAST.
THE WALLS OF THE ABBEvILLE COT
TON MILL TO RISE.
The Site in Permanently Located
The Plans are in Sight-Bids for
Building the Mill are Wanted.

MIR. Sirrene, OF Greenville, and Mr.. Stevens,
Of Atlanta, came to town last Monday repre-
Greene, of Boston. They brought with them
nearly all the building plans of the Abbeville
cotton MILL and proceeded with Directors to
stake off the building site. The building Ia TO
be l02 by PA feet. On the higher part OF the
ground the building will be three stories
high. On the lower portion, there will be q
basement story.
Besides the main building there will be en-
gine and boiler rooms.
The Directors Of the mill are now soliciting
bids from contractors who will be expected 70
complete building.
Mr,sirrene will superntend the constrnc-
ten Of the building, and be present daily
While the work is going on. ann
The Directors have had made about ;ooo'Vo
bricks, and the contract has been awarded lor
the making OF any additional brick that may
be needed.
The Directors wish to furnish the necessary
brick for the building, SO that there may De
no question between them ana the con,rac'
tors as 10 the quality of the brick 70 os put ln-
to the wall No one has made calculatlon as
10 the number of brick that will be needed,
but 1t is safe to say that something like three
million will have to be made, including re-
The smoke stack will be $50 feet high. To
build it will require $4,000 brick.
The site is on the northeast side OF the Blue

Carolina and Northern Railroad.
Mr.. Berkeley, representing the G., G. & n.
Railway Company, is expected to arrive in
town this week and arrange for the laying of
the promised sidetrack from the main line to
the mill.
The pines on the land have been cut for
burning the brick. and everything is now in
read iness for vigorous prosecution OF the
work.
In order to push the work the Directors OF
the mill must collect the subscriptions with
which TO pay contractors. The Directors have
heretofore been very lenient. but the circum-
stances are such now as to make collections
necessary, and they still desire to be as obllg-
Ing as possible, but they can't make brick
without straw. The factory is to be built and
the money which has been subscribed Is
needed.
The building plans will require all the mon
ey which has been subscribed.
The Directors fully recognize the fact that
there Is no revenue from the land and the
houses, but they also recognize another fact,
that when the house has been built that peo-
pie will not be slow to invest their money in
money-making spindles. Local subscribers
from local pride will build the unproflta BILE
part, and capitalists from distance will put
their money in 1t for the profit that there is
in II.

The government sub-treasurers in
Washington, ID. G. have received from
the San Francisco sub treasury the
description OF dangerous counterfeit
half dollar, close watch for which will
be kept. The coins intrinsic value is
only about two cents less than that OF q
genuine half. Certain defects in stamp
ing betrsy the spurious coin. 1t is said
that many counterfeit silver pieces are
afioat, which contain the regular allow
snce of silver. These coins consequent
ly answer every test as to the metal of
which they are composed, and can be
detected only by other tests. The
counterfeiter derives his profit in giving
governmental allowance of precious
metal from the fact that the bullion
value OF q genuine silver half dollar is
only 25 10 cents. When the counter
feiter can. therefore, take silver of that
value and put it in shape to pass for
fifty cents, he is making nearly 100 per
cent on bis investment.
