Dear Father, Mother and Hugh: |
wrote you about two weeks ago from
Manila and l hope you will receive my
letter all O. *. We left Manila the
day after l wrote you and came south
to Batangus, 110 miles south of Ma
Mia. Batangus is the second largest
place in the Philippines and has a pop
ulation Of $4,000 and is very beautl-
full place, situated on a fine bay and
surrounded by mountains. The town
is nearly 200 years old and has a large
church and prison, over 100 years old.
The houses Of the poorer class are all
built upon stills about five feet above
the ground and are built entirely of n
sort OF mating made from cocoanut
palms. The higher classes have large
houses made of stone and mud plaster
ed smooth on the outside and look very
respectable; instead of glass windows
they have u sort of lattice work all
around the second story for ventilation
MS well as for light. The people them
selves seem very honest and hospitable
and also afraid of the Americans.
Fruit, cigarettes, cigars, and in fact
anything produced here is remarkably
cheap. A man can get more cocoanuts
than he can carry for 10 cents and a
whole bunch of bananas for 10 cents;
also 100 cigarettes for the same; or
anges cents a dozen, but they have

20. by his integrity and close atten-
ton to business, he not only merited and
received the confidence of his employers,
but received an annual increase in his
ealary, which is one of the most substan-
tlal methods an employer can use to
show his appreciation OF faithful en-
ployee. In 1882 Mr.. Sartor went into
the mercantile business, forming IA CO.
partnership with Mr.. B. F. Arthur un-
der the firm name of Sartor and Arthur.
This firm did successful business until
1887 when Mr.. Arthur withdrew 70 ell
gage in another occupation and Mr.. Sar-
tor bought out his interest. since which
time he has conducted his business. that
OF heavy groceries, in most successful
manner.
Mr.. Sartor has therefore been identi-
fed with the town and its interests from
his youth up, ever ready to lend a help
ing hand to any measure looking to the
upbuilding and progress Of his beloved
town. He is one of the members of the
Public Works Commission of the city,
and has served continually in this capac-
lty since the organization OF the Com
mission. He served as Warden of the
town successfully for period of eight
years, and made one Of the best we have
ever had. He has been repeatedly solic-
tied TO run for Mayor, but he declined +,
as his business demanded his entire time
and attention. Mr.. Sartor enjoys the
confidence and esteem not only of the
business men Of the town, but of all
who know him. He is noted for his
honesty and integrity, upright dealings
and excellent business qualifications.
The corporators and stockholders of this
new enterprise are to be congratulated
upon having man Of Mr.. Sartor's abil-
ity at the helm.

$l25,OOO CAPITAL, 10000 SPINDLES.

Mr.. w. II. Sartor has been working
in quiet way for the establishment of
another cotton mill in Union. He has
succeeded in placing a good majority..of
the capital stock of the mill, which is to
be $125, 900, and two-thirds of the stock
has been taken by our own people, which
is an evidence Of the confidence our cap
italists have In the success of industries
in Union. The mill site will be located
between the new Monarch Mil and the
town Of Union, on the right hand side
Of Main street, just.below Mr.. J. b. T.
Scott's residence. 1t is beautiful loca-
ton. The mill will make a fine grade
of cloth, will run 10000 spindles. will
consume $4,000 bales of cotton and
work about 225 hands, so cottages will
be built for the operatives upon beauti-
full level plateau, which will, present a
very attractive appearance when dotted
with the pretty cottages.
Mr.. Geo. a.. Gray, one of the most
prominent mill men in North Carolina

side stockholders. The mill is to be run
night and day, and we predict for it a
