crowd of men and broke down the
door of the mill. In the engine room
they found the ~lifeless body of poor
King. twisted around the piston, torn
and MANNED, his hand still %grasping
the valve, where he had bravely shut
off steam after being caught. On the
floor lay the familiar cane. In his
pocket no letters were found, and in
the mill he had created he had died, a
mystery to the world, perhaps a mys-
terry to himself. At the inquest the
cane was examined. 1t was hollow.
and in it was found $4,000 in United
States government bonds. This was
evidently where his money had been
taken from to erect the mill. The jury
gave a verdict of accidental death, and
at the head of his grave yet stands a
rough stone, upon which are cut these
words:

Cases of Fire in Theaters.

Mr.. Sachs details the causes of fires
in 1913 cases which have broken out at
the back of theaters. Forty-four have
been due to defects in the gas INSTALL
ton. 81 to open lights, 30 to defects in
heating apparatus. 81 to fireworks, 18
to lamps, II to explosions, Z to defects
in the electric installation and a SINH

old mill sign is plain: Annie Welland
Mills" Mrs. Welland tells her story
this way:
"Just after the close of the war,
while living in Boston, met and was
married to Frank Welland, a Lieuten.
ant in the Federal army. His home
was at Northampton, where we at
once moved. He had been wounded
during the war. and had just recovered
after a long attack of brain fever. He
was heir to a large fortune, a portion
of which he insisted upon making over
to me. The rest he converted into gov
bonds and carried in a large
cane made for that purpose. We had
lived together but q few months when
Frank was again afflicted with brain
rouble One of his Authorizations was
that he had charge of a large mill
which he must run without help. One
dav he disappeared, and though l have
snent thousands of dollars and travel,
ed all over the country, could find no
trace of him. In June of this year |
came TO the Tennessee centennial.
While in machinery hall one day l
heard two men who were looking at
the milling machinery exhibits talking
of the old Annie Welland mill. | ask
ed them where the mill was located,
and they told me the story of its build

now satisfied that my husband and
Frank King are n and the same.

never know. l shall not do anything
with the mill. He must have named 1t
from the memory of his love for me,
and it shall stand as he left it until
time or accident has worked Its de
Struction."
Mrs. Welland has gone home, after
ordering a monument placed at the
head of her husbands grave. Mean,
while, the old mill stands bleak and
bare, its timbers falling away its doors
and windows gone, a habitation for
rats and mice, bats and owls, a ghost
ly. weird skeleton, rising high in the
midst of progress, itself an echo Of the
mysterious man who builded to his
own death. and the lifelong heart SICK
ness of a loving woman.

cepted a situation as boss carpenter
on the new mill. 1t was a big under
taking, and attracted attention from
all the papers of the State. Men be-

smaller Industries were commenced.
Meanwhile King remained non-com-
initial. He had no friends, no visitors.
told his business to no one and said
nothing of his former life. His work
men were paid weekly, and his supply
of money seemed inexhaustible. No
one could tell where it came from, and
nnally it was accepted as a matter Of
course, though one or two detectives
came from the city to take a look at
the man whose past was so well con
cealed. In December, 1867. the mill
was completed. BY this time Dickson
could boast of a population of nearly
300, with a brick church and school,
all the result of Kings mill. No sooner
was the final touch of the painters
brush applied to the huge sign that
covered the entire four-story front Of
the building than King gave up his
room at the Dickson inn and moved
into his big creation. 1t was not known
when the mill would start. Everything
was in readiness with the exception
Of engaging help and obtaining pro-
duct to grind. Men had asked King
for work and had been told that he had
sufficient help. One venturesome far
mer offered to sell him wheat, and was
told that none was required.
1t was three days before Christmas,
1867, that King moved into his mill.
He barred the doors and until New
Years eve was not seen or heard. At
just u o'clock New Years the town
was startled by prolonged whistling
from the mill. Running to the scene
the astOnished natives saw great vol
umes of smoke pouring from the chin
neyS and heard the rumble Of machin-
cry, although not a light appeared. The
great mass of machinery continued to
run until morning. This was repeated
every night for a week, and still no
door was opened.
Then one night all was quiet. The
next day Squire jim" got together a

How a Rich Man Started in Business


Il made most of my money by hard
knocks" declared the old resident who
has no financial troubles even in these
dubious times. but | once made some
very easy money just when | was sore
ly in need of it.
Il had managed to buy a little
stretch Of lake shore with the idea of
disposing of it as a summer resort. No
one was looking for that kind of an IN
yestment and | had a dead duck on my
hands. | happened down there just at
the breaking up of winter, when | had
nothing else to do and no money to DC
it with if | had. There was a big rUfr1t
Of logs tied up at my beach and it had
been there since the late fall; at least,
that is the view l took of the situation.
1t was a bold violation of private
rights. How had they dared to thus
invade my premises without permits
sion? | learned who the II were
in the East and sent them a bill of $500
for dockage. Their reply came through
a representative. who wanted me to
settle for a trife, but | would hear tC
nothing but the full amount. There
was a principle involved that I would
not sacrifice. He left with the threat
that l would never get a dollar.
Il bribed the mar in charge of the
raft to notify me when it was to be
moved and as soon as | heard from
him | had the sheriff there to make o
levy. had a check for $500 as soon as
it could be got to me. 1t proved the
thin edge of the wedge with which |
entered into the business that made me
rich. Six weeks later. | discovered that
the raft had not been on my land at all.
1t was forty feet beyond my line. But
what could l do, with my money tied
up in an investment? SO l said moth.

Thirty-one years ago the town of
Dickson, Tenn, was a village of eley-
en- houses, with a population of thirty.
seven whites and fourteen negroes. 1t
was just such a hamlet as can yet be
found. along the rapidly extending
branch lines of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad system; rough
board houses, rail fences around small
garden spots, an Sx12 depot and post
office and the inevitable tavern-a log
structure containing two rooms and
an attic, presided ove by Old Squire
Jim Dickson, whose wife furnished ac-
commOdations to the few travellers who
by chance came that way. Squire
JIM" as he is yet called, was the origi-
nal settler, the leading a of the set
tlement, and dealt out such Justice and
legal opinions as were necessary for
the maintenance Of the peace of the
village he had founded and which was
named for him.
Three times a week a train would
come out from Nashville, forty miles
east of Dickson, and go down the
crooked tracks of the Nashville, Chat
tanOOga and st. Louis Railroad to
JohnSonville, on the Tennessee River.
The arrival of a train (by no means a
certainty on any particular day. was
q signal for DickSOn's entire pOpula-
ton to gather at the little depot and
pOStOttice to await the opening Of the
mail. The train usually consisted of
three freight cars and the still familiar
cabOose, with it's rough wooden seats,
cook stove and hunks for the crew. In
this passengers were hauled, and many
were the jars they received.
1t was seldom that a stranger stop
ped in Dickson. and the advent of one
always created excitement. But one
day a man stepped off the Nashville
train and inquired for a tavern. He
appeared to be about 40 years of age,
was neatly dressed and was peculiar
in that he talked only when it was un-
avoidable, brought with him no bag
gage and carried a cane nearly two
inches in diameter and apparently very
heavy. Squire jim" answered the
strangers query and led him to the

DIDN'T LIKE FAT BEEF.
First Experience of n Bride on a Mar
ketinE Trip.

Almost at first glance one would
know that she had not long been ac,
Quainted with the duties of marks
ing. In fact, she looked very bridish
She wore a beautiful morning gown
and carried herself with grace. When
she stalked into the grocery with her
little white hands firmly closed oven a
brand new pocketbook, a self-satistied
smile lowering about the corners of
her pretty mouth and a general air of
self-cOntidence about her, everyone took
time to gaze upon the fair creature
But it was apparent that the role was
an entirely new one to her. She had
assumed matronly look, but it did not
harmonic with her real self.
She was not attired in a way to lead
one to think that she had recently been
led to the altar. There were no grains
of rice in her hair, nor were there any
old shoes attached to her person; still
there was something that plainly
stamped her bride"
