Burial Of Mr.. Flynn-Personal

New Cur, March 2.-The re-
mains of Mr.. u. +. Flynn, whose
death from pneumonia vas an
nOunced in the last issue of The
ENTERPRISE, were inferred at
Hopewell cemetery on Wednes-
day at 3 o'clock p. M, after fun
eral services conducted by Rev.
Allan Mcfarland, in the presence
of large number of relatives
and friends. Mr.. Flvnn was "A
son Of MIR. Jno. Flynn. deceased,
and Mrs. Jane Flynn. and at the
time of his death was 33 years 10
months and % davs old. He
joined the Hupewell Methodist
church 10 or Is years ago, and
during his connection with that
chnrch was one of its most con.

just seven years ago on the dav
of his death, Mr.. Flynn was mar.

1t will be seen that in two years
South Carolina has risen from
fourth to third place and North
Carolina from eighth to sixth
place while New Hampshire has
fallen from third to fourth and
Pennsylvania from sixth to
eighth. Massachusetts,, Rhode Is.
land, Maine and Pennsylvania
have suffered an actual falling off
IN the number of their looms.
The net loss of the seven north
ern states in Swo years was 6,434
looms ; South Carolina's gain was
1,2Ol looms the combined gains
of North Carolina and Georgia
we're $500 looms, or half of South
Carolina's gain. So much for the
changes up to last year.
AS for 1899, a consideration of
the figures and known facts will
prove that South Carolina must
take second place before the wear
is ont. The fignres show that in
1898 this state lacked only 1892
looms of equallins Rhode Islands
total. But in Rhode Island the
number is decreasing or station
cry, while in South Carolina many
more than the number required
to make up the difference are
now being installed or have been
oS6ered. BY the close Of the year
this state will be in second place,
never to lose it except to take
first place. Applying the same
facts and figures, we can foresee
tina. before next January North
Carolina will have dislodged
Maine from fifth place and Geor-
gia taken Fennsylvania's place,
now eighth.
In spindies South Car olina Is
making as great an increase as in
looms, although, because of the
number of separate yarn mills in
New England, she does not rank
ras high. The following figures for
the same years show the changes

In two or three years South
Carolina will take from Rhode
Island second place in spinning,
as she takes from her this year
second place in weaving. After
that Massachusetts only will be
ahead of her. The Bay State has
a very long lead, but length of
lead doesn't count for much with

South Carolina. AT her present
