spindle enterprise. By this time active
building began. T, C. Duncan distin-
guished himself a., an enterprising, en-
ergetic and safe header and president of
the company. He built the mill with
purely local capital not dollar of the
s150.o00 stock came from outside of the
state.
Three years ago the mill was started,
has been run to its full capacity and not
q bale of cloth has ever been stored.
Every yard is sold before it is manufac-
tured. This mill today represents $780,
900. The mill Is run by 500 horse power,
improved Green Cross compound and
condensing engine. The building Is
206x76 feet, four-story. with a tower six
stories and a snokestack 1874 feet high,
and produces daily $1,000 yards of cloth.
The success of this mill h8s been so sa +
isfactory that two years ago the capital
stock was raised to 5000 and the con-
struction of mill No. was begun. A
building 550x127, two towers six stories
each; engine room 40x45 feet, boiler room
46x50 feet and stack 207 feet high. Total
floor space, over six acres. The mill is
ready to start, and began running cotton
the last of the past week. A 1900 horse
power improved Green cross compound
ing, condensing engine, maximum devel-
opment 2,200 horsepower, drives this
mammoth mill The steam is from seven
large vertical boilers of 250-test horse
power each, built by the Portland COM
pany, Portland, Me The mill is heated
by two twelve-foot fans, made by the
Buffalo Forge company. Buffalo, N. Y.
It is lighted by two go Kilowatt electric
machines of 1000 lights each, of 16 candle
| power.
About two-thirds of the machinery is
now in place, being three openers, three
intermediates. four finishers of Howard
& Bulough make. sixty revolving top
fat cards. with complementary drawing
frames; slubbers. twelve Intermediates,
twenty-five fly frames from the Woon-
socket Machine and Press company.

The spinning room will have total of
81, 900 spindles, nine spoilers of 120 spin
dies each, fifteen Wrappers, made by Dra-
per & Co.. and three slashers, manufac-
tured by Howard & Bullough. There are
in place 1000 looms.
All this stands as the result of the bust
ness ability of the youngest mill presi-
dent in the state Union may well feel
proud of 7. G. Duncan, who is the founder
of her cotton manufacturing. Mr. Dun
can is ably assisted in his Office by A. p.
H. Walker as bookkeeper, e. j. Arthur,
assistant.
To Mr.. Duncan's success must be ac-
credited his ability in selecting the right
men for the heads of departments.

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.

Relics of war times are ever very in
teresting things and as the years go by
they become more so. Rummaging
around amongst old letters of his father,
the late Mr.. Upton Bradford, John I.
Bradford came across the following in
teresting receipt which was given to the
latter's grandfather The little scrap of
paper is old and yellow and the ink has
faded, but 1t is still quite legible and
reads as follows:

The bill Of lading for the first full cargo
of Birmingham iron and coke shipped to
foreign market was received by the
Tennessee company yesterday. 1t was
for a cargo of 5000 tons of iron and 1000
tons of coke. and was shipped to Yoko-
hama. The vessel is a sailing vessel, and
will be two months on the voyage. In
spite of the long time consumed in trans
portation by water the rate for freight
is very low. On iron to Liverpool 1t is
81 a ton. The insurance is very low, as
there is no danger to the iron from fire
and vessels are now built so that they
won't sink. The chief danger on the
ocean now is from collision. Sailing
masters prefer iron as a part of their
cargo, as 1t is placed in the hold and
serves as ballast Iron below and cot
ton on top is the ideal cargo.

A teacher in the public schools asked
her pupils to draw pictures illustrating
the poem of the "Old Oaken Bucket"
A little girl handed in her paper con-
tanning drawings of three buckets and
spots all around them. When asked to
explain she said: "One picture repre-
sents the old oaken bucket, another
picture the moss-covered bucket. and an
other picture the bucket that hung In the
well. and the dots are the spots that the
heart loved so WELL" This little girl may
be classed with the realistic school of
artists in contradistinction to the imagi-
native school.

One effect following the breaking of the
steel pool will be the opening of foreign
markets to American steel rails and other
steel manufactures. Steel rails are now
selling in England for more than $40
ton. and in this country for S1f ton.
This allows a considerable margin for
profit after paying freight.

ONE WAY TO WEIGH.

A novel method of Weighing a pig is
told by the Russell Register. A man and
his wife wanted pig weighed, but they
had no scales; but they solved the prob
lem, and weighed the animal. The man
weighed 1876 pounds, and the wife weighed
100 They placed a plank across the
fence, so that when they sat on the ends
II exactly balanced. Then they changed
places and the wife took the pig IN her
lap, and the plank again balanced. Now
calculate the weight of the pig.-Colum-

Rev. G. C. Kelly is preaching series
of sermons to young men, and they are
having fine effect. In his last sermon
he said that young men should be care
full and guard their moral nature. A mis-
take in early life often meant a lifetime
error. Some times a man in middle life,
or even old age, goes astray. In nearly
every instance it is the growth of seed
sown in youth. He referred to what
young men had accomplished in early. fife
Bryant wrote 'Thanatopsis" when Is,
and Voltaire wrote his best drama at 81.
The thoughts that men in after years
put into effect are terminated in youth.

The breaking of the steel pool will
have good effect in several ways. The
profits of the pool to the amount of S.
900 or more have gone into the hands
of few men, who have either boarded
it or given it to some sort of public in
stitution. This profit will now be dis
tributed IN the channels of trade. New
railroads will be constructed. The exist
ing railroads can put the sum they can
save by buying rails cheaper into i'm
provements, such as rolling stock. This
will give employment to labor. The in
creased demand for rails will cause the
consumption of more iron in steel MAX
ing. This will take out of the northern
market half a million dollars worth of
iron per annum, thus creating demand
for southern iron.

TERRITORY LESSEES.
Selfish FIRht Against the Agreement
with the Choctaws-The Com
mission Incensed.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE course
of the holders of coal and agricul-
tural leases in Indian Territory in
protesting against the agreement
entered into between the Dawes
commission and the Choctaws is
likely to result disastrously to them.
The disposition OF both the commits
sion and the secretary is said to
have been to have recognized these
leases a far as possible in the new
arrangement. The opposition being
offered by these leaseholders to the
consummation Of the negotiations now
on between the Indians and the gov
ernment has incensed not only the
commission and the secretary, but
has aroused a good deal Of feeling in
congress.
1t was stated today by a congress
man who follows Indian Territory
affairs closely, that if the opposition
of the leaseholders was continued
there would be congressional action
giving the Dawes commission such
powers rs would enable it to wind up
the whole controversy, and in this
settlement, those who hold lenses
from TIE Indians would find their
arrangements nullificd.
The feeling against brooking any
opposition from the whites in the
opening up Of the Indian lands TO
settlement is without doubt very
strong in congress. Those who have
been dealing with this difficult nat
ter on behalf OF the government nave
had too much trouble in reaching
an understanding with the Indians to
permit the fruits Of their labors to be
retarded by selfish whites. The
number of the lcaseholders in the
territory is few in comparison to the
actual white population. Their atti-
tude is regarded here as entirely
selfish. They have entered into ar
rangements with the Indians for the
possession of coal and agricultural
lands which are more remunerative
to them than they would be likely to
obtain when the lands are being
controlled by the government for
the benefit of the Indians. They
realize this, and are, therefore, en-
deavoring to cefeat the whole nego-
tiation with the tribes. As has been
stated, if they were to gracefully
accept the inevitable the government
would probably allow them to hold
their leases on the present terms
until their expiration, But BY their
unwise tactics they Will, if they con-
tinue, force the government to abro-
gate the contracts which the Indians
made with them.
