Quite a remarkable occurrence hap
pened at the Trion (Ga.) cotton mills.
Jsst before quitting time in the after
noon that portion of the mills which
is propelled mainly by water power
was shut down because of some de-
ticiency in the power. The water in
the fore bay was shut off and work
men were sent down to examine the
large turbine wheels to ascertain the
cause of the trouble. When the men
got down to their work their astonish-
ment may well be imagined when it
was found that the powerful wheels,
which ran under 14-foot head, were
literally cAoked down with an immense
swarm Of cells. Many too large to get
through the wheel gates were taken
out, and how many smaller ones there
were that got away no one knows. Tho
cells weighed 219 hounds.
