commodious cotton mill, giving employ
ment to 700 persons and having pay
roll of several hundred dollars week
f. S. Willis owner of the Southland cotton
mill at Richmond, has been in communi
cation with the board of trade for some
time with the intention Of starting a
plant here. Last week, a committee OF
the board met Mr.. Willis and the matter
was fully talked over. Next Thursday
the full board will be in session, and the
question decided. Mr.. Willis was in the
city, last evening, a guest at the Evans,
where the Journal correspondent had a
brief chat with him YES said Mr..
Willis, am going to start mill here if
the board of trade will agree to my terms,
one which will cost 500, 600 and one
which will give employment to many per-
sons. The pay roll will amount to several
hundred dollars weekly, which will make
business boom here. The board of trade
here has something under consideration.
but l don't think that anything will
come from it. l believe that it is policy
for the board to agree upon my terms and
give me some sort of an inducement to
locate factory here for the manufacture
OF cotton goods 1t is earnestly hoped
that the board Of trade will find 1t to
their advantage to accept Mr.. Willis
terms, as the erection of a factory here
would be OF inestimable value. Mr. Willis
came from New Bedford, Mass, to Rich
mond, about IA year ago, purchasing the
Southland mill in that place. He left for
Richmond on the Ills Pullman, last
night.

Rigs Destroy an Echo.

An echo that has been bothering the
court house authorities ever since the
erection Of that building has at last
been overcome. This morning J. Eos
ter Warner, the architect of the build
ing, and a number of workmen, took
possession of the special term court
room, IN the third floor, and with a
pile of rugs and draperies proceeded
to make tests. The first thing done
was to cover the floor with heavy
japanese rugs. The effect of this was
magical. Not an echo could be noticed,
and the acoustics of this room were
perfect. Architect Warner said that
his idea was to solve the difficulty by
trying the most effective plan first;
then he would gradually take away the
materials little by little, leaving only
as much in the room as necessary. He
thought that the draperies, which
would be hung, would be all that was
needed. Rugs would not be used, he
said, unless absolutely necessary, as
the marble floors were not nearly as
noisy as was expected, and were more
cleanly.-Rochester Union.

Practical Suggestions About Feed
md Care of Swine.
The cheapest winter feed for swine Is
roots. They may not have so much
nutrimcnt in themselves, but they
cause the hog to get more out of his
other food. just as good clover pasture
aus the hog to get more out of
grain. Turnips and rutabagas may be
grown on the land from which early
potatoes or sweet corn has been re-
moved. or a piece of clover sod may be
broken up after the hay is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence to pour the
slop into the pigs trough. says the
Farm Journal. The fighting pigs will
cause you to spill a good part Of the
slop. and resting your weight on your
abdomen supported by a rail is not n
healthful exercise. Pass a trough
the pen into the other trough. And If
you nail a board over the top Of the
first trough the pigs cannot stop 1t
with their noses and waste the slop
when it is poured in. The old-fash-
toned way is to dip the buckets in the
slop barrel. lift them out with a hard,
high lift AL dripping and overflowing
with the greasy stuff, and so carry
them. The new way is to set the bar
rel upon blocks and dish out n place
for the bucket to sit. and then put a
big faucet in the barrel. This way
there is no hard lifting, no buckets
greasy on the outside, no drip or over
flow.
A little pains to sun-scald the
troughs If they get sour under cover,
will pay. If it be damp and cloudy.
scald them out with boiling water and
feed a few handfulls of powdered char
coal to correct acidity Of the hogs
stomach.
