MILL MEN VISIT US.
Inspection Of The Laurens Cotton
Mills by NOrtherncrs.--D irec-
tnrc Moaf

Travelling In two pullman cars q
notable party Of fifteen northern men
visited Laurens last Saturday and in
spected the Laurens Cotton Mill. In
the party among others we're Mr..
Milliken, of New York, A. w. Green,
of New Jersey, G. e. Perkins, of New
York, Mr.. Wills, of New York and
Messrs. Smelling and Stephen N.
Greene, of Boston. The members Of
the party were enthusiastic in their
praises Of the Laurens Cotton Mill
and expressed themselves as greatly
gratiaed with its highly prosperous
condition. They carefully examined
every feature of the plant and in their
two hours inspection became perhaps
more familiar with it than is the ave
age native, for the reason that they were
all experienced, practical, mill men.
The party was accompanied by Mr..
Richards and Mr.. Hays, of the South
ern railroad and Supt. Anderson, of
the G.. g. w. G. Among other visitors
were Messrs. Joseph Shrine Of Green
Vile, and John B.. Cleveland and DR..
Jesse Cleveland, Of Spartanburg, both
of the latter being mill presidents.
1t vas stated that the aggregate wealth
hundred millions of dollars.
AT the same time q meeting of the
directors OF the Laurens Cotton Mill
was held in the office of President Luz
cas- at which o semi-annual dividend of
four per cent, payable Jan. 1st 1900,
was declared. Mr.. Stephen N. Greene,
OF Boston, was elected a director in
| place Of the late DR.. j. =. Simpson.
Messrs. william Bird, Of Char
lesion and V. Nj. Montgomery, OF
Pacolet, were also present. The board
is now composed Of Messrs. Milliken,
President Lucas, and Messrs. Bird,
Montgomery, N. B. Dial, j. o. @.
Fleming, r. j. Hale and S. N. Greene,
Mr.. Hale, Of Boston, was unable to

A Close Relationship.

The relationship which the baking
powders bear towards our health Is
coming to be appreciated.
There is no doubt that the indigcs
tiOn and dyspepsia Of which many
Americans complain are caused by the
indiscriminate use OF alum baking
powers. These baking powers. from
their lower price, from the pei sistency
with which they are advertised as
pure cream of tartar poHers, or from
the tempting schemes with which they
are offered, are Icing purchased by
many house.kecpers. That alum bak-
ing powders are unWholesome Is a fact
as well established as that arsenic is q
poison. There must accordingly be
the greatest care by the housewife to
keep them from her food. A chemical
analysis only will expose Their true
character. Even the price at which
they are sold is not always q mark ia
identify them.
There is certain safety in the use OF
the well-known brand, Royal Baking
Power. The Royal is not only ce,ti.
fed by the Government Chemists free
from alum and from all adulteration,
but every housewife feels q confidence
when using it which she cannot have
with any other powder. 1t is made
from chemically pure cream of tarter,
and is an actually anti-dyspeptic,
promoting digestion and adding to the
wholesomeness Of the food.
