Is the Hargrave and Leak
manufacturing Com
pany,
WELL EQUIPPED PLANT
Owned and Operated by Home People, Manu-
featuring Brown and Beached Drill
and Canton Flannel Drawers.

In the history and progress of a State
and the enlargement of the commercial
interests the writer becomes aware Of
the fact that the development and en-
couragement of manufacturing indus
tries is the most important factor for
future progress, and among the many
Illustrations of the progressive SPIRIT
which animates the manufacturing llie
of the State, none is perhaps more d!S-
timely marked than the example furnish
ed by the thriving and prosperous con-
Germ known as the Hargrave and Leak
Manufacturing Company for the manu-
facture of brown and bleached drill and
canton flannel drawers.
In a community the generality of men
as n rule follow in the path already cut
by their predecessors, and it is to those
who are original in the idea and prose-
cution of a new business that the pub
lie must look for benefits and improve
ments over the old and more convention
al ways. AS such in Wadesboro the
writer regards Mr. L. Hargrave and
James \. Leak as gentleman who have
introduced and are conducting manu-
the State and is the largest one to be
found south ~ Baltimore.
The business was started in Novem-
her, 1898, by the present members o.
the firm Mr.. T. L. Hargraye, a well
known citizen who gives every detail
of the plant his personal supervision
and Mr.. james A. Leak. who is also a
well known business man in the place,
and under their able guidance it has been
a complete success, so much so that
they have been compelled to add new
machinery SO that now their output IS
three times as much per day as it was
at the start. and this is not sufficient to
supply the increasing demand for their
goods although they have a capacity of
twelve hundred pairs of drawers per
day. The reason of such demand for
their goods is owing to the excellent
fit Of every pair of drawers they make
and also that the measurement is guar
anteed to be what it is marked. The
goods are sold throughout the South
and West and wherever introduced en-
tire satisfaction has been expressed.
In the conduction of the business a
number of home people are given en-
ployment and the cutting department
is in charge of a thoroughly competent
cutter who has had a great many years
experience in the business. The equip
meat is of the latest and most improv-
ed machinery.
One great advantage they have Is their
close proximity To the raw material. the
manufacture Of which they can have
graded for any of their makes by tele-
phoning to the MILL which keeps reg
ularly certain number Of looms weav-
ing for them all the time.
In conclusion the writer would say
that the Hargraye and Leak Mannfac-
turing Company is one which the State
of North Carolina should be proud of
and operated as it is under the direct
and able management of Mr.. Hargrave
its future prosperity is very bright.

Sheriff of Arson County.

Sheriff of Arson County.
1t is pleasure indeed to note a few
paragraphs in regard to the life history
of the subject of this sketch, who is Il
Democrat of the unfaltering kind and
a sheriff of which any county in any
State might well be proud. Hon. j.
I. Gaddy was born i'll Arson county
on December TO- 1889, and is a son of
Thomas G.. Gaddy, who was well
known citizen Of that section. Our
subject spent his boyhood days on the
fertile farm of the Pee Dee section and
at the old field school. where limited
education was received. When the trst
call for volunteers was made to defend
the rights and homes of the people of
the beautiful Southland when a cruel
foe was invading her sacred portals, our
subject was among the first to tender
his services and he enlisted in Company
X, with that noble and patriotic body
of men which composed the twenty-siXth
North Carolina regiment with the dis
tinguished patriot, Hon. Zeb Vance, as
first Colonel.
Mr.. Gaddy, who was a non-commis-
stoned officer. did valiant services until
the close of the long struggle and was

burg in 1868 and mt the battle of ReamS'
Station on August %, 1864. lie was
an excellent shot and had been chosen
u member OF McCraes battalion of
sharp shooters and was with Gen.
Robert e. Lee when he surrendered at
Appomattox court house i'll Virginia, the
scene of which will ever be remembered
lY all who witnessed it,
After the close Of the war Mr.. Gaddy
returned to the farm in Arson county
and became engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. At which he continued until elect
cd to his present position and in fact
III the present time he has large farming
interests in the county.
In politics he has ever been an ardent
Democrat and does all in his power to
forward the interests Of the party which
he believes is the only salvation for pros
gerity in North Carolina and the great
nation OF people with which we dwell.
In 1896 he was the nominee of the
Democratic party as their candidate for
sheriff of Arson county and although a
great fusion tidal wave swept the State
our subject was elected to his present
office to which he was reelected in

of the Baptist church and a citizen Of

to meet and grasp his ever welcome
