host MODERN AND UP.fGDaFT MILL
PLANT IN TIE COUNTRY.
Every Convenience and Comfort
Offered Mill Help-A Happy
and Contented Family.


The climax Of cotton mill development
in this State for the century just closed
was reached in the Olympia Cotton Mill. 1t
stands out conspicuously as the highest
type Of mill construction in this country,
and is pronounced by competent mill peo-
pie to be the most complete, up-to-date and
promising cotton manufacturing plant in
ths:countrx- It represents the type Of
Whaley mills, all Of which are successful.
It is without doubt the largest cotton
mill under single roof in the entire South
ern States, and competent judges announce
that it Is the most complete mill plant in
this country, and no nation is ahead Of
this country in the cotton mill business.
People hear and know that the Olympia
MAl is the largest in the South. but they
may not know, nor do they think, Of what
combinations go to make this magnificent
structure wha, it is.
Think of a single cotton mill consuming
15.no0 bales Of cotton.
1t win employ. when all machinery is in
stalled and in operation, more than 100
able-bodied operatives.

paper man on the editorial staff Of the
New York Times, visited the South and
made a. careful study Of the mill situation,
and in one Of his letters recently to his
paper this New York writer had this to
say, among other things:
'eWhile the owners and stockholders are
making money they are conferring per-
manent blessings upon the people. AS in
other towns where new mills have de.
manded increasing numbers Of operatives
shops have started to supply the needs OF
operatives or those who were employed IN
new industries called forth because OF the
coming Of a laboring population. Stores
have been obliged to carry large and more
varied stocks There is more travelling
by rail. It Is matter Of daily occurrence
that among the passengers who overcroWd
the trains of the Southern Railway there
are inquirers arriving at various points
to look over the land with the view Of set
Ting, either as persons already concerned
in cotton manufacturing or hoping to De,
or tradesmen seeking a new market.
The country Is beautiful. It Is charm
ing to the eye: 1t IS naturally healtntul.
and in the towns will be more healtniul
with a little criticism and sanitation. the
summers are long and the winters brtet
and unusually mild.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-09-26

and here IS on interesting summary IN
one Of his letters:
rIn passing through a mill settlement
some weeks ago I stopped at the home OF
a middle-aged man who had five children
working in the mill. He lives IN a Six
room, two-story house. / met him some
distance from his house; I said: I want
to see how you people 1--we. would like
to so in some home where several children
live He started in jiffy and SAID as
he walked: Come and go In my house.
I have five children, but they are IN the
MILL Entering the house from the rear
we went through the dining room into
bed room, and then into the parlor. the
old gentleman was proud Of the parlor.
He threw back the window curtains and
pointed to the large pictures on the wall.
They were paintings from photographs OF
his children. The floor of the room was
carpeted and in one corner was an organ.
From kitchen to garret the house was
clean. When mine host had seen me TO
the door he said: I farmed on rented land
before I came here, but could not feeo
nv family there now. I like the life
here. 1 like my employers. They treat
US well if we behave in like manner to-
ward them If we nisbehave they turn
us out and get others IN our stead. When
I moved here the superintendent warned
me against drinking. He said that ne
would have none but sober help. He
meant what he said, for I have not seen
a drunken man on the hill since came
here two years ago. Ny children are in
good health and seem satisfied. We are
all contented All of US belong to the
Church and attend regularly
81 went from house to house and heard
the same story. Indeed, there Is no prob
lem at the best mills between capital and
labor, for the mill owners and operatives
dwell in harmony.
The various religious denomina tons In
! the mill sections are doing great deal for
| the factory element In the South. Preachers
call on the operatives and their families
| at their homes Churches are built and
| preaching and Sunday-school conducted at
| nearly every mill. Within the last five
| years in the South much has been done
for the betterment Of the condition Of the
cotton mill help. The work Is till going
on.
"No one who knows the facts, as any
one can learn by going to the mills, car
doubt that the people who work in the
cotton mills of the South are far better of
! in every way than ever before.
Such are the conditions in all the Caro-.
| lima mills"
| Mr. E. G. Dunnell, an experienced news
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-09-26

The plant is operated throughout with
electricity. The expectation Is to soon offer
electric lights to all Of the operatives for
their homes.
The pictures indicate the neat and at
tractlve homes that are provided for the
help.
ABOUT THE MILL. BUILDING.
Something OF the giant mill itself: The
mill building Of the Olympia Mill is 55S
feet 2 inches long and Isl feet inches
wide, and contains four floors and base
ment each story being IS feet high.
There are two towers about "a by 22 feet
and 1ss feet s inches high, containing the
stairways and the tanks for the sprinkler
system.
Adjoining the rear wall of the mill at the
middle is machine shop and in the rear
Of this is the engine and boiler rooms. The
engine room being l2O by 50 feet. and the
boiler house 140 by 40 feet in plan. In the
rear OF the latter is the building for the
mechanical draft plant. The first floor OF
the building is devoted to opening bales
and weaving: the second floor to weaving,
slashing, spooling and warping; the third
to carding, drawing and tapping, and the

Measure It is to attend to every medical
want Of the operatives at the expense OF
the mill company.
The MANAGEMENT is desirious Of having
the very best class of operatives to llVe IN
their village and to work in the mill. AS
the mill is just starting up this enormous
plant, the company win require several
hundred families to give 1t the full num-
bar Of operatives. The mill, therefore, 10
Offering to receive green" help and to
teach them 70 work in the factory.
Anyone desiring to investigate with a
view of accepting this offer, can get all the
information, such as regards to wages Of
the different kinds of work, etc, by writ
ing to the superintendent of the Olympia
Mills, or any of the mill officials, at Coluna-
bia, s. c.
Columbia offers great many advantages
to people moving into the city Its hne
churches and fine schools give to those
persons living in Columbia advantages not
possessed by agood many otnsr localities.
The mills are all locatsd on the street
car line, making them very accessible to
any part of the city.
A good man. families in the past have
moved in from their farms TO work IN the
factories here They seem to be perfectly
satisfied and in many instances have bet
tered their condition considerably.
The mill officials will be glad to commu-
nicate with any parties desiring to come to
the mills for the purpose Of working ID
them, and are satisfied that the opportuni-
ties are such as to satisfy them.
The story of the Olympia Cotton Mill Is
one Of intense interest to every Carolinian.
and when one thinks it will be realized
how very intimately the cotton mills OF
the State are associated with ths industrial
development of the State.

fourth floor to spinning. Communication
between the floors is also afforded by two
Otis electric elevators driven by alternat-
ing-current motors.
The mill will operate 100000 spindles and
the latest Draper looms have been put into
the mill. The total number Of looms 20 be
operated will be 2,400 40-inch looms.
The electric equipment at the mill COM
poses everything that has been construct
ed by electrical or mill engineers. 1t is by
odds the most thorough that has yet been
undertaken.
By using electricity the cost Of the mill
buildings was reduced by 10 per cent on
account of the absence of heavy transverse
walls through the mill, necessary for the
head shafts at the beltway, with the belt
and shafting system. Sixty-one per cent
of the shafting cost was saved by the use
Of electricity. Three-inch shafting Is the
largest in the building. Sixty-six per cent
of the cost Of the belts and ropes was
saved with the electrical system. The saw
ing due TO these three items was sufficient,
it is said, to more than pay for the cost
Of the electrical equipment OF the mill.
Part of the electrical generating plant is
used to light the town and also TO run
street railway. The maximum power re-
quired by the mill is about s,Soo-horse

PLENTY OF PURE WATER.
+ The water supply for the mill comes
from springfield reservoir Of some 100000
gallons capacity, which also supplies the
mill village with its drinking water.
The mill is heated by two 14-foot electri-
cally driven Sturtevant fans, blowing air
through horizontal ducts along the front
and rear walls of the MILL as shown in the
half plan and section Of the mill build
ing.
The mill architecture Is imposing and
the structure Is beautiful. Considerable
money was expended in beautifying the
building and every possible convenience is
provided in and around the mil. The
closets and wash rooms are finished in
marble and mosaics, and elevators are
at hand for the operatives. A 500o-pound
Schane bell is in one Of the towers and
with beautiful tone strikes the hours, and
in the second tower there is standard
time clock.
The officers of tne mill company are:
President, W. 3. Smith Whaley.
Vice president W. A. Clark.
General manager. J. s. Moore.
Secretary and treasurer, W. H. Rose.
Superintendent, F. S. Barnes.
A SUBJECT OF PRIDE.
The mill was -eonstructed on the plans
of W. B. Smith Whaley & Co. the most
successful mill engineers in the South.
This firm has left its deep imprint on the
industrial development of the South, and
especially in South Carolina. In recent
article it was stated that: 1.-The record
Of the firm is that Of 5SS676 spindles, 1860
looms and sS,5eo,nO0 capital in a working
period Of seven years. unapproached by
any mill engineering firm in the South,
and should be subject of pride to South
Carolina and to Columbia, as we'll as to
the members Of the firm
When We consider that in 1880 the entire
State Of South Carolina contained only
26 cotton mills, with 1S1,743 spindles, 13,41S
looms and a,os4,oO0 capital, against this
aggregate for one young South Carolina
firm of 5a9,676 spindles 1850 looms and
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-09-26

sS,500,0O0 capital, the extent of its con-
structive achievements may be better
realized.
THE GENIUS OF W. B. SMITH
WHALEY.
In Columbia alone 1t has planted $4,000
spindles and 4,Si0 looms, or more than the
whole State had twenty years ago, and
the capital employed in these mills-s3, 10O,-
0oo-is only less than that required for
the smaller number Of looms and spindles
in 1850, because of the greater economy
possible now in building the best mills.
It is proper TO add that Mr. Whaley is
the president Of all but the smallest OF
these four Columbia mills which he has
planned, and which, with $4,000 spindles,
4,s20 looms and $s,0Oo,O00 capital, represents
the largest cotton manufacturing invest
ment in the South and one Of the largest
in the United States.
An example Of his far-sightedness and
quick business perception may be noted
in connection with the electrical installa-
ton Of the Olympia Mills AS soon as the
electrical transmission Of power had been
definitely determined upon for that mill
and its, location determined, he at once
purchased the existing electric car lines
of the city, also the electrical lighting
business, and will furnish the power and
current from the Olympia; also provide
AL ;o;t for rpj1lS The o.
suItant economies will not only be factors
in the net earnings Of the railway and
lighting systems, but will also add an
appreciable net income to credit Of the
mill
oLYMPIA's GREATNESS ACKNOWL-
EDGED.
Last April, when the great Olympia Mill
| was started up, it was examined by a
number Of the leading cotton mill officers
In the country, men who lead in the cotton
industrial movement. One of these was
Capt Manning. of the Amoskeag Company,
who said: "The Olympia was the finest
structure of the sort he had ever seen.
He was glad the Olympia was not COM
petitor of the Amoskeag COMPANY"
Mr. Richardson, Of Massachusetts,, said
( that the Olympia Mill was, in his opinion,
the finest cotton mill in the world-the
finest in architecture and equipment-and
he said this with full realization Of what
he was saying, as he was connected with
New England mills.
Not long ago Mr. H. E. C. Bryant
| made a trip through the mill territory
and made disinterested and impartial in
quiries and wrote series of articles on
the result Of his inquiries in the various
mills in this State and North Carolina,

A M0D'S VENGEANCE.
A Negro, Charged with Assault,
Shot and Burned.
A POSSE TRACKED The CuLpRl1.


Troy, Ala, Sept. 4.-Bill Tourney,
alias Bill billiard, a negro charged
with assaulting Miss Wilson at Chest
nut Grove, was shot and his body
burned by mob near the scene of
his crime yesterday. Miss Wilson,
who is 16 or II years of age, and the
12-year-old daughter Of DIR. Carroll,
were on their way to school at Chest
nut Grove, just across the line in COT
fee county, when they were overtaken
by the negro. He seized Miss Wilson
and the little girl ran off. As she
did SO the negro fired his pistol at
her, but missed her. The little girl
raised the alarm and soon a posse was
in pursuit of the negro. When they
reached the scene of the crime they
found Miss Wilson unconscious and
terribly bruised in the face and about
the head.
The posse tracked the negro to his
home, where he was found in bed.
The little girl identified him and he
was then taken out and shot and his
body burned. Miss Wilson Is in a
precarious condition. The sheriff,
with three deputies, left last night
for the scene of the crime.
