A Model
Mill

South Carolina may be slow in some
respects, but in others she is in the
front rank of progress, and particular
ly in the use Of electricity as a motive
power. The Columbia mill, a mann
moth institution for manufacturing
cotton duck. was the first in the world
to adopt electricity, and within the
last three years four other bfg mills
have been similarly equipped. making
Columbia the most important center
of electrical textile factories. writes
William E. Curtin in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
The Olympia mill Is probably the
most complete cotton factory in exist
ence. There is nothing in New Eng
land to compare with it from any point
of view. The machinery and appara-
tus are perfect. The buildings are
models with the same sort of plumb
ing, heating and ventilating apparatus
that is found in the most luxurious
hotels. The engine Dor is laid with
tiles, wainscoted with Tennessee mar
BILE and has an artistic ceiling of steel.
The floors of the mill are of marble;
the walls wainscoted with hard wood;
the sanitary arrangements, the toilet
rooms and porcelain bath tubs are
good enough for a palace. Every con-
venience is provided for the benefit of
the operatives and every precaution
for the protection OF their health. The
houses they occupy in the village
around the mill are all built on artis-
tic plans and finished in the most per-
feet manner There is a hospital for
the sick that is said to be the best in

Gambling on
Ocean.

A league for the suppression OF
ocean gambling has been formed with
branches on both sides of the Atlantic
and a concerted effort is TO be maze
to drive from the ocean the gangs OF
sharpers that have for so long inteSteu
the passenger boats plying between
the United States and European ports.
1t promises to be a three-cornered hght
and may become decidedly interesting
before long. The agents OF the steam
/ ship lines are not all in sympathy Win
the movement and some laugh at II
and pronounce ii visionary and I'M
practical, probably for the reason that
they are interested in the profits or the
gamblers either as sharers IN their
winnings or in profits OF the custom
they bring to the lines. Jane; wilson
of New York is at the head OF the cru
SADIE. He is now in London collecting
evidence showing the nature and ex-
tent Of the gambling evil on liners.
The purpose of the league is TO drive
card sharpers from the ocean by max
ing it against the rules of all the big
steamer lines to gamble for any sum
or any stakes in the public rooms OF
their vessels. Mr.. Wilson is reported
as saying:
1T is true that a league to prevent
ocean gambling is being formed, and
it is also a gratifying fact that 1t is
going to be very popular with the tour
lists and travelling public. Gambling
has grown to be a great evil on the
ocean. Thousands first learn to gam
BILE while killing time on the ocean
passage, and other thousands lose
money that they might have used in
good works. The gambling spirit is, |
am sorry to say, infectious on all the
big liners. There are pools and sweep
stakes and games Of chance daily, and
the fever Of the gamester seems TO
seize the most self-contained. Sharp
ers flourish on the vice. and many a
young man has been ruined by losing
heavily to a professional player who
inveigled him into games on ship
board. | believe that these sharpers
divide gains with the officers, for des-
pite the frequent scandals the same
scoundrels appear in the smoking
rooms voyage after voyage. The league
purposes to stop gambling altogether
on %shipboard. Bishop Potter of New
York, Andrew Carnegie, Mr.. Morgan
and many others as prominent have
promised their aid. We have copies OF
passenger lists for years back, e

the south, and the medical attendance
and the nursing are free. The manage
ment furnishes free Sunday concerts
and vaudeville entertainments several
evenings each month for the opera
tives and free school for the mill chill
dren.
But the mill itself is the great at
traction, and manufacturers come from
all over the world to inspect it as a
novelty as well as q model. Every
thing is done by electricity. The
switchboard is the largest in the
south and is connected with more
than thirty motors, which represent
5000 horse power. and light the
buildings, the cottages, the city,
and run the cars of the Columbus
Street Railway Company. Electricity
brings in the coal and takes away the
ashes from the furnace rooms; ii fills
an 500. 900 gallon reservoir that 81 D.
plies the boilers and the village with
water: it runs the elevators, brings the
cotton from the warehouse TO the spin
ming machines; carries away the fin
isned product and operates hot air fans
in summer.
All this is not done as a luxury, but
for economical reasons. although it
cost 81, 800, 0c". The ordinary expense
Of building and equipping a New Eng
land steam mill is about SIS a spindle,
but the Olympia mill cost only Sl3.5i a
spindle: the annual expense for repairs
is about one-half those of the ordi-
nary New England mills OF the same
size. and the uniform speed OF electric
machinery produces an average of four
per cent more goods to the machine.

of people who lived 5000 years aco
than is knows in the case Of our own
countrymen 1000 years ago. Such was
the opinion expressed by Mr.. w. st.
Chad Boscawen when he explained
these relics to an interested audience
yesterday afternoon. The clay bricks
and cylinders beneath the glass cases
We're covered with characters testify
Ing to a completely organized system
OF justice, marriage, divorce and COM
merce. The bookkeeping of 5000
years ago was wonderfully accurate.
A curious form of record is that pre-
served in the form Of baked ciay tab
lets, which were enclosed In clay en-
Velopes also inscribed with the terms
OF the transaction. so that a double
record provided against the possibili-
ues or damage. The open and c.osed
evidence spoken OF by Jeremiah is
supposed to refer to this system. The
practice of recording on a brick the
name OF the king. OF the building. and
OF the city in which 1t was erected has
mad the advantage in modern DAYS that
an q brick may be the means of dis
ihterring a city hitherto unknown.

uepositor who loses his balance.

our goodbye, but let me know. Good
bye! One last embraced"
Promptly the order came and my
master shouldered me and marched to
the train. In a few hours we were at
our destination and then knew what
war meant.
One night, my master was alone in
his tent and he talked aloud to him
self, and re-read n OF the numerous
letters that came almost daily.
Tom Meredith has enlisted and /
hear he will be in Virginia-his post
has been assigned him-he wears q
uniform but he doesn't compare with
ny Ned" So! Meredith was unsuc-
cessful-he has learned that his wealth
cannot buy love. l must be wary of
him-he is a dangerous boy and
wouldn't hesitate to commit any deed
through jealousy"
My young master was visibly dis
turbed.
A few days later, sure enough, here
came Mr.. Meredith, whom / remem-
bered as handling me quite contempt
uously when he called on my master
in Aurora. He looked very handsome
in his regimentals, but his eyes were
cruel and hard under his gold-laced
cap.
An engagement, fierce and hot, took
place as the sun fell on that long, not
day in July and it resulted in a more
serious attack in the morning. The
slain and wounded were left on the
field as one gallant regiment moved
forward. and my dear master was one
of the wounded. With me clasped in
his hand, he murmured in his delir-
ium, Mamie Nannie!"
In the confusion incidental to a bat
tie, Lieutenant Meredith had managed
20 slip back and hurriedly glanced on
the poor fellows who were lately so
full OF life and action. At last he saw
my master. Such a look OF hatred as
came over his face may / never again
see.
"Ahi there you are! Die! you vii
lain. and then your pretty Nan will
be more likely to come to my terms,"
With these words he plunged a knife
in the flesh of my master. How I
cursed myself for my inanimate condi-
ton! Flinging the knife from him he
stole among the dead like the coward
he was!
My master was dead, ! knew. as he
became quiet after that one shrek Of
agony.
When the ambulance corps came, his
body was taken to the dead-house. bit
some signs of life were observable and
he was removed TO the hospital.
Where's my faithful gun-it has
my name on 1t on a silver plate?" he
feebly inquired.
l was brought and laid beside him
and he seemed contsnted and fell
asleep.
On awakening he met the pretty.
