FAINT HEART MEIER WON
FAIR LADY,

he County Recorder of Bishop
says:
No understand that there is some
b in the oil mill business on
- hnt Of the fear entertained by
Of the subscribers that they
incur liability for the debts OF
corporation. This is absurd.
law specially provides that the
sholGsrs OF banks shall be liable
~ lid their stock for an equal
amount, but there is no such require
ments rs to industrial enterprises"
Bishopville, nor any other place,
will ever become manufacturing
place or prosper to any extent while
they have such pessimists at the head
Of affairs as The Recorder complains
Of. The question never entered the
minds, Of the movers in Unions
destiny Of liability, for any per cent
Of their subscription in excess Of what
was paid in, nor of anything but the
size Of the dividend.
Let us tell our hesitating neighhors
little story.
In 1898 few Of Unions wide awake
business men decided to build cot
ton mill-ideas indefinite-but some
thing like a $780, 900 mill. Our broad
minded mayor, Jno. A. FAINT, and
phenomenon in mill construction. T.
G. Duncan, waited on our citizens for
subscription and secured about $751;
OOO. Next week they made contract
for brick and material for q cotton
mill-with board Of directors who
had nerve to endorse the mill paper
for thousands Of dollars, the building
was completed and machinery in
stalled at q cost of about $3.50, 900.
The stock jumped to 125 and suf-
ficient issued to take up outstanding
liabilities. In 1896 the contract was
given for 100000 brick for the new
$4,000 spindle mill with hardly any
subscription pledged; only the direc-
tors and machinery men intimated,
that they would see President Duncan
through. He did some sweating
before he completed the largest mill
in the South, but he did it-has
every dollar of stock placed and paying
good dividends to the lucky stockholders.
(The regular semi-annual dividend was
paid on first).
He is now making preparations to
build third mill, which will be finished
in the next twelve months, though
railroad will have to be built three
miles to the site. When the new
mill, Buffalo," is installed this COM
pany which started business in 1898,
with subscription of only $34 900
will have more spindles in operation
than any mill company in the South
and capital stock Of nearly two mil
lion dollars.
This is no fairy tale but a true
synopsis of our development as mill
town. 1t is within the reach Of all
towns IL they get the right men at
the head of the movement to approach
us, but a wish-a-washy, hesitating
management does not inspire con-
fidence in outside investors, and
without them no big enterprise can
be built up.
We challenge the South for another
such record.

much credit for this innovation"

price OF coal need not be increased by
this combination in order to pay
dividends as only the best paying
plants will be run. But rise in
price is the usual result to the con-
sumer of all these trusts and COM
bines, but we shall see later. Wood
is getting scarce and the demand for
coal Is increasing.

TO THE ANTI-sL0T - ! PETIT
TION or THE LOCAL
MINISTER'S
HANDED TO DR.. sooy
Yesterday-It IL . Very Lengthy
Type-written Document, Prepar-
ed by Mayor Sweeney, Giving a
Detailed Statement of Existing
Conditiens-The Paper Withheld
From Publication for the Press
ent-Ministers Will Meet.

TIL answer of Mayor A. T. Sweeney
and Chief of Police VIM. NJ. Clemans,
to the prayer of the clergymen of the
city, and others who signed their petit
ton for the suppression of slot ma
chimes, was given into the hands of the
Rev. DR.. j. L. Sooy last night. Lieu.
tenant Supler was commissioned to de-
liver the document. He left for the
Fourth Street NJ. E. parsonage shortly
after seven O'Clock last night, and
placed the document in the hands Of
DR.. Sooy.
A Register reporter ~endeavored to
secure a copy of the answer for publ
cation. Mayor Sweeney stated that he
had in his possession a type-written
copy, but that he would regard it as
a breach of faith to give it out for pub
LEGATION in advance of its consideration
by the persons to whom it was adj
dressed. He added that the ministers
stated at their recent conference that
they desired to publish the two state
ments side by side. He supposed
they would follow the course which
they had indicated. He had not the
least objection to publication of his
answer, but he preferred to wait until
it was considered by the ministers in
terested in the Federation of Churches.
Chief ClemanS made virtually the
same statement to a Register reporter,
referring the newspaper man to DR..
Sooy, and stating that he could not
give any information as to the contents
of the communication in advance OF
its consideration by the committee OF
clergymen.
DR.. Sooy was communicated with
later in the evening. He stated that
the answer had been placed in his
hands, that it was a very lengthy doc
ument, and that he had not read it
through by reason Of having been fire.
quently interrupted by callers. He de-
clined to permit the reporter to copy
1t for publication.
Il cannot give it out" said DR.. Sooy,
until 1t goes before the committee OF
ministers, for whom it was written.
The committee will probably be called
to meet at once. and then the two
statements will no doubt be given to the
press. / don't think it likely that the
meeting will be held tomorrow, on ac-
count or the session or the P~reSbytery,
which takes many clergymen whom we
would want to the Third Presbyterian
Church."
While neither side would consent to
a publication of the answer 1t this
time, or to give a synopsis of its con-
tents, it is understood to be a very
comprehensive and interesting docu-
ment, inasmuch as it expresses the
views of the two highest city officials,
relative to the gambling and social
evils, giving reasons why they cannot
be suppressed, and presenting facts
concerning the methods of regulating
them. 1t is also understood that the
Mayor offers some suggestions, based
upon his knowledge of the operation
and violation of city ordinances, backed
up with interesting statistics, taken
from the police court docket, and other
records of the police department.

RashinGkons ~ Ihs mIui1ter Said a
e-The founder 81 the church was !
working an He was known as !
carpenter. He was not ashamed Of his
occupation MOI was he ashamed to Wor-
ship among the people. He lifted his
position and he honored the working
men. All through the ages the labor
ing class has been closely connected
with the church of Jesus Christ. We
often hear that the laboring people
have left the church and how are we
to reach the masses. / do not see that
we can make charges that the laboring
class has been shut out or that they
have abandoned the church. 1t may
be the fault of people themselves, who
have gone out of the church or who
have been so trained as to have no
desire to affiliate with the Christian
people. The church should look after
the interests of all identified with it.
The church of Jesus Christ does a great
deal for the laboring people Of the
world.
I'VE believe there is something bet
ter in store for the people who work in
our mills. 1t would be better for
every working man to be a member of
some church, and we hope that the
day shall come when every man will be
proud that the founder of religion was
a carpenter"

WATCHES N N
Make Suitable Christmas PRESENTS
Where to Buy.

Where TO buy.
There is nothing in which the femi-
nine heart delights more than a hand
some ring. There is no stock of rings
in the city more complete, affording
a greater variety from which to make
a choice, than that of John Becker &
Co., No. 1927 Jacob street. II you
can't afford a solitaire for your wife,
sweetheart, or daughter, there are
many other beautiful stones, set snugly
or in combinations, which are less ex-
p~ensive.
A watch is a suitable Christmas pres
ent for either sex. Becker & Co. have
watches varying in price from $1.50
to 5000, all good values which the firm
guarantees that no other house will
duplicate for a less price than Becker
G. Co. charge. In movements there is
the same variety in make and price as
in the movements.
If you have not made up your mind
what to buy for a Christmas present,
you cannot make a mistake by select
ing a watch or ring, and you cannot
make a mistake by securing It from
John Beckett & Co., 1927 Jacob street.
