MARIETTA KNITTING MILLS.

Mr.. Wallace p. Reed in the Atlanta
Constitution Says: 81 have just seen
some black socks from Marietta, Ga,
Knitting Mills which are hard to beat.
They are made of mercerized cotton
yarn-spun from Egyptian cotton-and
it is said that the yarn is one-third
stronger than before it was mercerized
This yarn has beautiful silky APP
pearance.
The Marietta Mills will place on the
market this season all classes of goods
made from mercerized yarn, such as
hosiery, underwear, suspenders, gloves
and very fine fabrics of dress goods.
The business was started three years
ago on ~ 800, but the capital now in
vested is $4,000. A big dye plant has
just started up with a capacity of four
times the product of the mills, which
is 1900 dozen per day.
The chemical process of mercerizing
cannot be described in this brief space,
but strong, caustic soda lye is the
main thing used in mercerizing.
Mr.. Il. II. Northcutt is President of
the mills, and he and his enterprising
associates are to be congratulated upon
their success in building up great in

VOTE SELLING,

A distinguished orator and writer re-
Gently used these beautiful words: ga
man does not vote in this country sim
ply because he is rich; man does not
vote in this country simply because he
has an education; he does not vote be-
cause he has talent or genius; we say
that he is a man and that he has his
manhood to support; and we admit in
this country that nothing can be more
valuable to any human being than his
manhood, and for that reason we put
poverty on equality with wealth. We
say in this country manhood is worth
more than gold. We say in this coun-
try without liberty the nation is not
worth preserving. Now recollect that
every voter is in his own right king,
every voter in this country wears a
crown; holds the sceptre Of authority :;
and every voter rich or poor wears the
purple of authority alike. Recollect
it, the man who would sell his vote or
influence abdicates the American
throne. The man who sells his vote
strips himself of the imperial purple,
throws away his sceptre and admits
that he is less than man."

A BLESSED REVIVAL.

Every day and night for week and
half there has been evangelistic SER
vices in the Baptist Church which have
been of unusual interest The pastor
Rev. J. T. jenkins is being assisted by
Rev. NJ. A. jenkins, of Macon, who is
doing strong, logical and convicting
preaching Great emphasis is being
made on the point that absolute aban-
donment to God and His will on part of
church membership is necessary before
Christians can be happy or useful in
| Gods service and sinners converted.
Both of these ministers lay great stress
on this point at all the meetings and it
is very evident that the majority of the
| Christians in the congregation agree
] with the ministers and have cheerfully
complied with the terms and as re-
suit they are greatly revived and are
in condition to cooperate in the eff
forts that are being made to lead souls
| to the Saviour. Two have been receiv-
ed and baptised into church fellowship
and scores of men, women and children
have professed conversion. Last Satur-
day morning and Sunday afternoon
open-air services were held in front of
the court house where large crowds
heard the pure, simple gospel preached
in power. These services did great
good. Several heard preaching for the
first time in years and as a result
a great number, weeping, asked for
prayers. 1t was the climax of the meet
ing Many who had not been going to
church were seen in the church on Sun
day night. After All able sermon Sun
day night there was a large number of
people went forward confessing Christ
and nearly all of the church members
paesent went to the front and knelt to
solemnly abandon themselves to Gods
service. 1t is now great meeting and
will continue all this week or longer.
Services at and 7 80 p. m. each day.
Public is invited to share in the work
and benefits of the meeting.
