FACTORY NOTES.
Contractor eagle IL Making Progress
With His Work.

Work on the cotton mill is progressing.
Nearly all the first floor has been laid, and
the brick walls lack only n little of being lev
elled up TO the top Of the floor.
advanced.
The concrete foundation for the smoke
stack has been laid, and the brick work will
be pushed by an additional force of hands.
The stack Is twenty-five feet in diameter, or
sixty-slx feet In circumference, and Will be
one hundred and fifty feet high.
All persons who may feel any Interest In
seeing good building constructed should Wis
II the place. as many are doing. This Is the
best or most interesting time to see 1t.
The plans for the cottages are nearly ready.
1t Is estimated that sixty cottages will be
needed-thirty one story four room houses,
ana thirty SIX room two story houses. The
ground will be laid Off In streets and squares.
and the houses will be located with system.
Ihere will be room in the mill for II 800
spindles.
1t is estimated that about three hundred
hands VIII be needed In the mill. AS soon as
the houses are finished persons who intepd to
Jake employment In the mill will be allowed
start.
Various persons have signieed their ,n,en.
tion to bid for the work OF building these
houses-some from Abbeville, some from
Greenvllle, some from Georgia, and perhaps
Others whose names we have not heard or
have forgotten. It is thought that the com.
peted rooms can be had for about $50 a piece
but OF this we have no definite In formation
no one having yet submitted definite bid.
Contractor eagle pays off his hands on Sat
urday evening. He has time keeper who
keeps the time correctly, and at the end Of
the week he puts each mans pay In an envel-
ope. Each man responds as his name Is call
ed and steps up to get his envelope. The pay
roll last Saturday required about $500. Some
eighty-ive names were included, most Of
whom were day laborers at sixty cents day.
AS soon as they were paid they struck of for
town, where It is presumed at least three
fourths of the S4OO was deposited with our
merchants. Even small trade like this is
worth something to little town in dull
times.
AS soon as the factory is started, the opera
tives will have much larger amounts to
spend, and their ready cash will have bene-
fetal effect on all lines OF trade.

We have had no notice from the Postoffice
Department TO the contrary that the weights
were not correct, and we are entitled TO our
pay under the legal methods Of computing
weights and their sworn certificates OF the
correctnesss OF the same.
The published statement alleged to have
been authorized by the Postmaster-GeDeral
Ia unbecoming and libelous, and I am prepar-
ed to court full, free and fair investigation
throughout with further Investigation OF
other lines. including the different methods
and prevailing customs by which the mail
pay Is adjusted, or, will the Postmaster-Gen-
eral authorize the publication of another
statement and give bis reasons why the Sea-
board Air Line was singled out and made the
object OF unjust criticism. or why we are dis
credited for carrying public documents when
1t must have been known to him that other
lines had carried tons OF public document Is IN
March, which had been shipped and re-ship-
ped, weighed and re-weighed, thousa nds OF
pounds OF other matter, including extra car
load lots of patent medicine Advertisements,
all Of which passed unnotlced by him: OF
could he have been deceived by lack ofvig-
lance on the part of his Inspectors, or reports
withheld from him?
1t is certainly q new departure for the head
OF one of the great Departments OF this Gov
ernment to use the great powers OF his office,
through "AuthoriZed Statements" in the
Press, to injure Railroad Company.

Portsmouth. Va, June lst 1895.
To the Associated Press:
1t Is not usual for grievances against this
Government to be fought through the Press
but In view of the libelous statement In re-
gard to alleged Irregularities In mail matter
over the Sea Board Air Line road recently
published and said TO have been authorized
by the Postmaster General, I may be pardon
ed for using this medium In setting forth the
facts before an impartial public.
We are not responsible in any way for the
shipment of public documents through the
duce the movement of such documents dur
ing the mall Weighing period. The ranking
system Is personal privilege, granted to
Members Of Congress TO which there is no
penalty attached. and for which the members
are alone responsible; nor has the Postmas-
ter General, or any other Government official,
the right, as understand It,, to question the
through the mail at any time, In any quantity
or any direction. See Act. March 3rd, 1875,
and Act, March Bird, 1873. and also Postmaster
Generals Report of 1875, Page l53, which COM
ments as follows:
There Is no penalty attached TO the misuse
of the frank ing privilege, hence there Is no ac-
tion that can be taken by me further than to
call the attention OF the Member 10 the mat
ter"
Referring to the fifteen sacks OF public doc.
uments claimed to have been forwarded from
my office. There was no secret about It,
They were forwarded on regular mail trains
and 1t was the Mail Agents duty, south Of
Weldon, to count the sacks and weigh the
contents, as they had not been previously
weighed on our line (as mail was not being
weighed on that portion OF the road between
Portsmouth and Weldon); otherwise, the
Railroad would haul tons Of public docu-
menls during the next four years for which
we would not receive compensation, and
when learned that young Postoffice In
spctor was going over the road trying 10
intimidate mail Agents, by announcing who
he was, I sent for him TO come 10 my office,
and would give him all the information he
wanted in regard to the law. :
herewith quote you the Law, which Will
be found on page 9Gi, Clause 2O3, In United
States Official Postal Guide, dated January.
1896:
"a bulk package OF franked articles may
be sent 10. one addressee who, on receiving
and opening the package, may place ad.
dresses on the franked articles and re-mail
them for carriage and delivery to the respec-
tive addresses"
This law seems TO be plain, and cannot
see what more could have been done than
was done to comply with 1t. Confirming the
above law, and further Justification OF the
action OF my clerk, Il quote the following let
ter written by the First Assistant Postmaster

An Insurance swindle.

A man who gave the name of William
Donovan and claims to be an agent of
the Metropolitan Life insurance COM
pany, went to a lady's house on Summer
street and told her that he was an agent
Of the company in which her life was in
sured and that the company had decided
to pay dividend to the members who
had been insured for q good many years,
and that $40 was now due her. He took
a check book out of his pocket, gave her
a check dated January z, and payable
January 8, aud said she could get her
dividend the next day at the office of the
insurance company. He handed the wo-
man the check and said, 'fgive me &c.,
please" The woman gave the fellow the
IS and now finds that the check for $50 is
worthless.

An Unbalanced Mind.

Yesterday morning woman went into
Eastman Bros. & Banoroft's, and while
standing at the counter, one of the firm
saw her take pair of gloves and other
articles and place them under her cape.
He took her into the office, and on the
way, it is said, she dropped two pairs of
gloves and handkerchief which a clerk
picked up. In the office she was searched
and gloves and handkerchief were
found tucked away under her arm.
The woman was placed in the lodging
room at the police station. Later inves-
LEGATION revealed the fact that the woman
had been out of health and was mentally
unbalanced. Messrs. Eastman Bros &
Bancroft therefore withdrew their charge
and the woman was promptly discharged.
