The Orr Cotton Mill.

3. A meeting of the stockholders OF
the Orr Cotton Mill was held in
| the Court House at noon last We'd
nesday. Mr.. R. S. Ligon was call
ed to the chair and Mr.. B. Frank
Mauldin requested to act az Sec
retary. The meeting at;once pro-
ceeded to business, and elected the
following Board Of Directors: Jas.
L. Orr, r. s. Ligon, F. G. Brown,
B. F. Mauldin, E. P. Smith, R. S.
Hill, N. B. Sullivan, G.. Z. Prince
and s. M. Orr. The Board then
elected Col. ]. L. Orr President.
It was decided to call at once for
20 per cent. of the capital stock,
so that charter could be secured.
This amount is now being paid in,
the limit being tomorrow, 18th
inst. 1t is proposed to organize

Orr made q short talk to the stock
holders, in which he outlined the
plans of the Company, and stated
that he had purchased the mill
machinery, which was now adj
vancing every day in price. He
had selected the latest improved
machinery, the looms being the
Draper model, which could be op-
Grated much cheaper than any 9TH
er loom manufactured.
On Monday Col. Orr returned to
Anderson, accompanied by Mr..
Stephen Green, of Lockwood,
Green & Co., expert mill engineers
and architects of Boston, Mass.
That afternoon, in company with
the Directors, these gentlemen
visited the various sites that had
been offered for the location of

that we have had since the early
part of April, and the prospects
are that We will bave a good sea-
son, as it is still raining. Further
more don't be surprised at the
headline. From the date of the
first article that came out in the
ADVERTISER headed Plum Branch
there has been some uneasiness
around the capital of Dark Corner.
It is said that some of the inhab.
itants of Parksville were somewhat
incensed from rae fact that we did
not give them little send off, and
it might be that as soon as we got
on q genuine boom that we would
petition our legislature to have the
seat of government moved to our
our city. I will note, however,
that We have not 30 much as
dreamed of such.
I will try to give you q short
sketch of the history of this terri.
tory lying between Stevens Greek
and the Savannah river: In 4he
early settlement of the country
there was a man, not as honest as
he should have been, who did
something over in the State of
Choty and the officers of that
realm got after him and he skipped
across Stevens Creek and thought
himself safe in the State of Geor-
gis; and ever since or for many
years this territory was known as
Shippers Georgia, and the seat or
centre of government was at Col.
Tompkins' store, perhaps until
about 1885 when the great Mogul
or Alcalde called the grand coun.
Gil together and the name of the
territory was changed to Dark
Corner. Now since the railroad
has split the once noted old Dark
Corner in half, we of the upper
and northern portion of the pro-
vince have proclaimed our indie.
pendence, and hold that we are a
portion of old Edgefeld andihold
our allegiance thereto.

For the barroom bum who. drinks

Fast, and they cut you dead;

Speaking of the Crawford murder
case tried in Camden, the Columbia
State said of Solicitor Thurmond's
speech:
"Solicitor Thurmond followed in an
earnest debate of over an hour and
half. Had the State not had eye wit
nesses to prove that Crawford fired
the shot, he " ould have produced the
ball. He ridiculed the testimony OF
the defense, showing that even Cole
man testified that Crawford had his
pistol drawn when Stuart fred, while
Crawfosd denied it. he spoke Of the
enormity of this crime, 9 woman killed
in her own home. The eyes Of the
world are upon the jury. He felt
sure that 1T would do its duty. He
made splendid appeal for justice,
and ridiculed the fimsy theories Of
the defense as to the claim. that Craw-
ford's pistol could not have set fire to
the clothing. He replied that at a
quarter of the distance Stuart's pistol
burned Crawford's, as shown by the
latter"
And the News and Courier said:
@Mr. Thurmond's argument was one
Of distinguished force and ciearness,
and was perhaps the most connected
and forcible of all the arguments, be-
cause it summoned up the whole OF the
memorable case and caught the vul-
nerable points of the other arguments
No Smallpox at Leesville.
Expert Reardon who was sent to
Leesyille to investigate as to the
cases of smallpox said to exist at
that place has made his report as
follows:
"There is now no smallpox in
Leesville. I examined three whites
and found the eruption to be ecze-
ma. See no resemblance of any
of the characteristic stages of
smallpox, as the eruption is iden.
tically the came az when first ap-
peared. From the general appear
ance and history of the cases there
is not the slightest indications of
smallpox.
."I next examined four colored
persons and find that all of them
have had genuine case of small
pox, but have convalesced, and
there is now no immediate dam
ger. AL these cases are directly
traceable as coming from Bates
burg, through a negro named King.
AS q preventative would advise all
to be vaccinated and .disinfect
houses and contents where these
cases have been, SO as to prevent
further spread of the disease"
