The Manchester Cotton Mill.
Rock Hill Herald: The Manchester
Cotton mill Is now in successful oper-
alton with 1920 spindles, 3,S4O twisting
spindles and 300 looms. The building
is three-stories high, 41S feet in length,
rs feet wide, and has a floor space of
8S,S75 square feet, not inclusive Of en-
gine room and machine shops. All this
space Is not yet covered by machinery;
but the company contemplates putting
in 5000 additional spindles and 24O ad-
ditional looms with other necessary
machinery. The two great engines
have a capacity of $40 horsepower,
while the power is CTS. The engine
plant in the new room Is not yet COM
pleted; but when finished the mill will
have two pairs OF Cross compound con-
densing engines. All the machinery is
new or comparatively so, and Of the
best pattern. The output Of the mill Is
62,1OO yards Of cloth, $4,000 pounds Of
yarn per week; rs bales Of cotton be-
ing consumed weekly. Brown sheeting
Is the only cloth manufactured at pres
ent. The mill ships a lot of yarn, how
ever, a great deal Of it for the lace cur
tain trade, and about 5000 pounds
weekly for insulating electric wires.
The mill is, of course, supplied with a
complete automatic sprinkling system,
as we'll as capable electric light plant,
with a system Of humidifyers for re-
ducing or increasing the temperature.
This latter plant is the invention of
several attaches Of the mill and has
been patented by them. Three hun
dred and twenty-five operatives are at
work in the mill and the monthly pay
roll is about $4,000.
The Seceders.
Columbia State, Monday: The First
Presbytery of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church will meet this
week at Bethany church in York coun-
ty, Rev. Mr.. Stephenson, pastor. Rev
John Knox, pastor of the congregation
In Columbia, will attend and will have
the proud satisfaction Of reporting that
his small but devoted band has met al
requirements made Of it and that the
Centennial church will soon be >ir
course of construction. Mr.. Knox tells
a good story on some Of his brethren ir
the Tar Heel State. The Seceders are
said to be the most loyal (and may II
be said clannish?) of all the Protestant
denominations. This loyalty always
leads one congregation to join heartily
in helping another to erect house oi
worship. Several years ago when the
now thriving church at Charlotte was
a mission the church at the little towr
Of Huntersville gave $500 to build g
church at Charlotte. Since then the
church at Charlotte has prospered and
has grown-among it's new members
being a number Of acquisitions from
the Huntersville church. The latter
congregation contemplates building a
new church and will look to Charlotte
10 "even" up by contributing $500 to
the new church at Hunterville. Now
the question is-what Is the status OF
those former Huntersville people who
contributed to Charlotte's church and
are now residents Of Charlotte? In So
liciting contributions to the Centen-
NAL church to be built here by the A.
R. P. synod, Mr.. Knox will hardly
agree to return dollar for dollar In the
future, for at the rate at which Column
bia is growing nearly all the good Sc
ceders (as we'll as the good people OF
others denominations) are coming to
Columbia, and they would be taxed
both ways.
