THE COLUMBIA ARSENAL.
Ii is a Scene Of Much Bustle and
Activity at Present.
The Factory is Busy farming Out blanket
Bag, Whil- the Soldiers Care For
the Munitions of War.

The United States Arsenal has. in
more ways than one proven itself a
valuable acquisition to Columbia.
Tt is both useful and ornamental.
Its attractive grounds and magniti-
cent buildings make it one OF the
prettiest sites in the State; and,
lately, it has come to be a manufac.
turing plant of no small capacity,
giving employment and remunera-
tive wages to score or more OF our
citizens.
The Arsenal as whole just now is
a scene of much hustle and activity.
While the hands in the factory are
busily engaged in turning out
blanket-bags at the rate OF 800 day,
cars are continually rolling in and
out of the grounds, bringing in
munitions of war and redistributing
them to the armv at Tampa and
Chickamauga. Several carloads
of rifles have been shipped to Chick
amauga during the last few days,
besides a large amount of ammuni-
ton, and orders have been received
to ship 100000 rounds to Tampa
and 100000 rounds to Chicka-
manga. The war department has
allowed Maj. Greer to increase the
force Of soldiers, on account OF the
additional labor in loading and un-
loading the material.
The factory is not yet running at
its full capacity, but within few
days-as soon as the necessary
material and machinery arrives
the force will be increased to per.
haps IS or 80, and later on still
larger number will be needed. At
present there are employed sixteen
leather workers and twenty-three
cloth workers, nineteen OF the lat
| ter being women. In selecting the
employees Mai Greer endeavored to
secure all of them from Columbia,
but several experienced harness
makers had to be hired from u dis
lance as they were not available
here. The sewing machines all run
nv steam, the same engine that runs
! the dynamo FOR the electric lights at
night, furnish 'ng the power.
At present the force is at work on
the first order for 10000 blanket.
bags, or. as they are more generally
known, knap-sacks. The bags are
made from heavy quality of drab
canvass, and, as about twenty diff
ferent pieces of cloth and four straps
of leather have to be put together to
make one bag, 1t takes no little
amount of work to construct one

hand from the Rock Island Arsenal

The work room is large and coo

veniHnce.
| Mai. Greer kindly allows visitors
to go through the building ant
watch the employees at work, ana /
would be pleasant trip for anyon
to take a ride through the prett!
grounds and then inspect the work
shop.

Recent Failure in Pulaski Followed by
Startling Developments.
PULASKI June 10 The excite
ment over the recent proceedings
against Mrs. r. Kline continues to
increase. Feeling is very high here
against her. Several other non
resident creditors filed attachment
bills and last night about midnight
the Sheriff's two head deruties, Ben
Ayhet and r. w Eason, accom-
panied by Night Watchman Kajo
Norman and Specia! Deputies An
drew NJ. Ballentine, Amos H. Mon
tague and Roscoe G. Morris, "ropnd
up" the Kline home near the north
west corner of the Square.
The raid was surprisingly success
full, as several hundred dollars
worth of fine silks, laces and other
staples were found concealed in the
stable loft and under the house.
The goods were packed in boxes.
The officers procured a wagon and
removed the boxes to the store
house. Besides these several hun
bred dollars of staple goods were
found concealed in rubbish and un-
der boxes in the upstairs of the
store-house.
The creditors assert that with all
these and the ribbons found in the
cellar over $1,000 of hidden goods
have been unearthed. The credi-
tors express determination to pur-
sue both civic and criminal pro-
nrocpadinpa tO the last axtranitV
claiming to have strong lncrimina-
tory evidence against several other
persons.

CITATION.

ETrAToN, June 20.-After long alb
senoe from your columns, which was
caused by sickness, will come with the
news of our community.
The farmere have harvested then
weat crop. Wheat is at least one-third
short of last years crop, and oats are
verv light, caused by the drouth; but
we have had plenty of rain during the
past week. A heavy rain fell yester-
day, accompanied by great deal of
hail.
Deaths Angel has spread its wings
over our community once more, and 1t
is with broken heart that L record the
death of Mr.. A. A. Morrow, who passed
away on the 10Th inst, at about p. m.
His remains were inferred at the fam
ily cemetery yesterday. Deceased
leaves eight children tn mourn his loss,
one of whom is the writer of these
notes. Father was siXty-two years old,
and lived the whole of his life in the
highest esteem of all who knew him.
His highest aims and greatest desires
were to live Christian and to guide
his children in the footsteps OF Jesus.
Oh, how dear are the sweet words of
admonition which | have received from
him; how he taught me from my earliest
re collection to live true,to the teachings
of the one great Book. such counselor
is beyond valuation, and as we look
through our tears into the future for
one to whom we may go for admoni-
ton, we can realize that we have lost
the best friend that we had on ear tn,
and, were il not for the blessed conso-
latiun that we draw from the beautiful
passage which says, "blessed are they
which die in Lord" our grief would be
UNDESIRABLE. But we have the assur-
ance that our loss is his eternal gain in
| Heaven. The last five years of life were
passed in sickness, and, though his suf-
iering was great, he bore it patient
ly, for he knew it would be only a snort
time until he would cross Deaths emily
water, and then rest eternally in thu
sweet fields of Eden. SURVUs.

producing severe aching of the bones.

st. Louis, Oct. 5.-Governor Steph.
ems, Police Commissioner Halves and
Chief of Police Campbell, who have in
auguarted a war OF the Insurers of
this city, have returned from New
York. where they went to see the Off
Gals of the Western Union Telegraph
company and get them to rescind ~
rule under which employees were dis
charged when served with a garnish-
ment. For years employees of the tel
egraph companies, as well as those of
railroad and other concerns in st.
Louis. have suffered from the exorbi-
tant interest charges made by so
called money sharks" for loans. In
some cases as high as 40 per cent per
month has been paid by the luckless
ones who have had to borrow money.
This had become such a burden that
it is said more than one man has given
up trying to pay accumulated interest
and committed suicide.
Recently the telegraphers Of ST.
Louis started a club to fight the
usuerers and now the matter has been
taken up in this city by Police Com
missioner Harry b. Halves and u
prominent attorney, who snys that he
will proceed against any usuer when
the proper cases are presented free of
charge. 1t is stated that while the
party that went to New York failed to
secure a complete annullment of the
rule calling for the dismissal of of
Tending employees, they did receive a
promise that it would be used only in
the most fragrant cases. The outcome
ofthe fight is looked for with interest,
as it's results may be far reaching.
