ABSOLUTELY PURE

half of those whose lives are en-
dangered | hope that the manage
ment may change the hang OF the
doors.
In case of panic from fire the
door would closed by the pressing
crowd, and the building which is
now their source of making liv-
ing might become r"al death
trap. With great multitude
pressing against the door shut
ters they could not be opened,
and even If those persons inside
were not destroyed Icy fire the
children, as well as grown iolk,
might be trampled to death.
While our legislators are looking
after the welfare of their constit-
uents 1t might not be amiss to en-
act law requiring the doors of
all cotton mills and all other
buildings in which great multi
tudes assemble, to open outward
instead of inward.
TIE OUTLOOK AT ABBEVILLE.
While there was much TO ad-
mlre In the Lancaster mill, vet |
am partial To the AbbevilIe mill.
The Abbeville mill has been a
little slower in making a dividend,
but | hold my shares with firm
er grasp since seeing the Lancas-
ter mill. The Abbeville mill is
much more expensive to build.
Its walls are thicker, and it's
equipment is much more costly.
In the course of very short time,
L hope the results will be CORES
pondlngly greater. For instance
The looms In the Lancaster mill
will cost, say, $50 piece. The 40
inch looms in the Abbevllle mill
cost S14I50, the 36-inch $1275O
each. To this sum may be added
freight, shafting, betting and sit
ting up In each instance. One
good weaver runs 6 of the sixty
dollar looms, while one weaver at
Abbeville runs IA, 16 or IS, looms
according to proficiency. Given
two helpers, at small pay, one
weaver at $1.30 day now runs
40 of the looms at Ahbeville. The
average pay OF a weaver IS lit
tie over dollar a day. The Abb
beville looms run during the din
ner hour, with little or no atten-
tion at all.
superintendent Thompson is at
work organizing his weavers at
Abbeville, and will furnish each
with two helpers, so that each
weaver Will run about forty looms,
bringing the skill of weaver to a
higher degree Of efficiency than
was ever before attained, and re-
duclng the cost of weaving far be-
low any figure heretofore reached
In any mill.

were called upon to entertain del
egates. The particular citizen of
whom | am speaking, belonged to
the latter class. At the close of
the evening, when all were about
to get ready to go to bed, the
head Of that household asked his
wife to get the Bible preparatory
to family prayers. The children
did not understand the situation.
Up to that night no family pray.
ers had been said in that house.
The ignorance of his little chill
dren, and their inquiry about the
proceeding touched his heart. 1t
was as good seed sown in good
ground. The conduct and behav-
Tor OF that father is not the same
as 1T was. The little children led
the father to serious thoughts.
and he is to. day a changed man.
NARROW GUAGE PROSPERITY.
Sometime ago the narrow guage
railroad between Chester and
Lancaster was sold because of Its
unprOfitableness. Citizens of Ian.
aster bought it. Under the man
agement of Lancaster men, the
purchasers have been repaid ev
cry cent of their outlay.
The same enterprising people
have recently bought a cotton
mill at Chester, which had been
unprosperous. Under the same
management as that of the Ian.
caster cotton mill, and the mar
row guage railroad, the Chester
mill will likely prosper.
COTTON MILL TALK.
1t might not be amlss to speak
more fully of the Lancaster cot
ton mill. The structure is four
story build so by 339 feet, ex-
elusive of engine room, boiler
room, and opening room. 1t is
quite handsome building.
Its engines and boilers
are first-class, and Its different
machines are good. The manage
ment has been very satisfactory
to the stockholders. The paid in
capital stock is $132, 900, of which
amount $4,000 is held by north
ern investors, and the remainder
is held by citizens of the town.
Last year a semiannual dividend
of six per cent was paid, and the
floating debt was reduced from
100000 to $4,000. The mill takes
orders for yarn or cloth. 4S0
looms are In the mill, about 100
Of which are standing Just now
while the yarn department is be-
ing run night and day. The looms
do not run at night, but every
thing connected with the spin
ming or yarn making departmen
runs on full time. 1926 operatives
find employment, and live in so
or 60 houses belonging to the
mill. They manufacture 6 go con-
vertable goods, or No. 40 yarns.
THE DOORS OPEN INWARD, WHEN
THEY SHOULD OPEN OUTWARD.
The tower is placed in the CEN
ire of the building, in front, and
except In that particular does not
present an outside appearance
very different from the Abbeville
mill. One thing noticed was that
the door Of the tower, which is the
entrance to the mill, opens in
ward, instead of outward. In be-

SUCCESSFUL MEN.

Among the notably successful
men may be mentioned Heath,

great fortune in business circles
and have done much in adding

Mr.. Waddy @. Thompson, is one
of the most enterprising, as well
as one of the most successful men
In the town. And what Is best, he
is under tongue of good report,
and everybody likes and respects
HIM. He is cashier of the Nation
al Bank, and is secretary and
treasurer of the cotton mill. The
cotton mill is built largely .sf To-
cal capital, and is makingsfa oney.

without increasing the tax assess

THE BICYCLE QUESTION.
The bicycle question which has
so long perplexed alike aldermen
and citizens, he has settled IN
way which | think more satisfac
tory than any other that | have
noticed. The town ordinance for
bids the riding of bicycles on the
sidewalks. But upon the pave
ment of one dollar, license is
given, under proper restrictions,
to ride on all the sidewalks, ex
cept. on one part Of one rect.
Persons who ride the sidewalks
without license are fined. Persons
with license who violate the ordi-
nances, or cause trouble, are
either fined or their license is re-
voked.
a sCoTCHMAN's BIG FORTUNE.
In the town is a Scotchman, a
full bloOded Associate Reformed
Presbyterian, who settled there
twenty years ago. He carried
with him $500 of his own money,
and $500 which he had borrowed.
With that capital he opened
store, and spent $500 a year in
advertising. He has kept up the
advertising, and to-day he is said
to be worth a hundred thousand
dollars. The name of that Scotch.
man is Ganson.

EDITOR HUGH WILSON'S
VISIT TO LANCASTER.
What He Says of Lancaster and
Her Business Men. .

When the narrow guage train
arrived at Lancaster the passen-
gers were soon out OF the coach.
A two horse vehicle, with great
hanging curtains that were loose
at bottom and sides, was waiting
for customers. Of the four men
that came IN on that train, a
drummer and myself took seats
in the machine above described.
In a little while our two horse
vehicle, from which the wind
spread out the curtains like great
wings, started off In great rush
Tor the the Motel. We soon passed
the other two passengers who
were walking on The sidewalk
together. One of them was repu
ted To be the richest man in town.
While | wa being hurried along
behind the trotters and between
the flying julaps of the vehicle,
thought of little accident, that
occurred many years ago. While
the state fair was going on Il big
carriage, with two hors 8 and Il
driver was hired by an dividual
whose name Is not mentioned.
The object of hiring that carriage
was to take some lady friends out
driving about the city. When
having a nice drive, that was
seemingly enjoyed by all, the
aforesaid gudgeon and his lady
friends passed Mr.. Beattie, Pres
ident of a bank in Greenville.
He and his lady friend were
walking. The contrast in the way
OF our transportation afforded an
object lesson, which the gudgeon
never forgot. Mr.. Beattie was
able to buy and own the carriage
and horses which the splurging
gentleman was scarcely able to
hire for two hours. That carriage
and horses were soon sent back to
the livery stablr, and 1t was the
last turnout that the aforesaid
gudgeon has hired to haul girls
around any city. The lesson which
Mr.. Beattie unconsclously taught
has been worth much.
