The Grecnvillc NcmS, OF the 18th
inst, says: "FrOm the Headquarters
Of the South Carolina division of
United Sons of Confederate Veterans,
the appointment OF Miss Mary Orr, of
Anderson, rs sponsor for the annual
convention and reunion at Greenwood,
August 1-2, was announced yesterday.
She is daughter of DR.. S. NJ. Orr, of
Anderson, and hence the grand-daugh-
ter Of Gov. JAS. l.. Orr, the commander
OF the famous Orr's regiment, one of
the most celebrated organizations in
the Confederate army. She is greatly
admired in Grecnville, where she has
visited frequently. Miss Orr has select
ell Miss Annie Marshall, of Grcenvillc,
as her chief maid Of honor
About n year ago Miss Polly Gala
ham died ut her home in Martin Town
ship and her remains were inferred in
the Bethany Churchyard. At tho time
it was rumOred that she possessed q
considerable sum of money and had re-
quested that the money be buried
with her remains. Of course there
was no foundation for the rumor and
no attention was paid to it. Last Sun
day morning services were held at
Bethany Church, and in walking
through the graveyard some persons
noticed that the grave OF the deceased
had been tampered with. Her two
brothers were there and ct once made
investigation. They found that the
grave had been entered and the coffin
lid split to pieces. All effort will be
made to discover the guilty wretch,
and if caught he will be severely pun
ished.
In company with President Cox, of
the Cox Manufacturing Company, we
rode out to his plant last Friday after
noon and was shown through the build
ing, which is most magnificent and
substantial structure. The building
has been completed, and the mammoth
boilers and engine, together with all
the shafting and pulleys, nave been
placed in position, and as soon rs the
spinning machinery arrives it will be
placed in position and ready for work
An electrical machine has been placed
in the engine room for the purpose Of
lighting the building, as it is proposed
to operate the mill both day and night
The building will be heated by steam,
and has fine system of water works
for sewerage purposes and protection
from fire. From the water tank in the
tower the pressure is sufficient to
throw streams to any part of the build
ing without the use of the pumps,
which can be utilized If necessary
The water is pumped from a pond,
which is supplied by two spring
branches. Fifteen 4-room cottages
are being erected near the mill, and
they will soon be occupied. Every
thing is very conveniently arranged,
and all the machinery is of the last
improved patterns. President Cox has
given personal supervision tn the con-
struction Of the plant in all details,
and deserves the congratulations Of
every stockholder in the enterprise.
