The Town of Spartanburg Building
Rapidly by Reason Of Cotton Mills.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
K SPARTANBRG. S. c.. June 6,-Spar-
tanburg is justly considered the Land
of the South considering Its phenom-
email growth commercially. industrially
and otherwise within the last decade
Indeed it is so great as to attract the at
tention of all new coers, and become
at once the surprise of those acquainted
with it few years ago.
This does not mean either that 1t is
of the boom" or mushroom kind. Tor
otherwise the foundations are solid ana
of a substantial character. This is &C
centuated by the fact that notwithStand-
ing the last two years have oeen moi
ferent crop years to the farmers OF tue
section surrounding Spartanburs, oy
reason of drought one year ana Excess
sive rains the other. the growth OF the
town has not only not been impeded, but
has increased at rapid rate, thus snow
ing that the development is not due 70
or dependent on the agricultural inter
ests but on the manufacturing entei-
prises in and around the town.
It is knnwn that sparanburg county
is the second in point of wealth IN the the
State of South Carolina, Charleston couh.
tv being first, and it is also worthy OIL
note that perhaps no section in the south
has as many manufacturing enterprises
or as much aggregate capital supportins
them as Spartanburg county, there BENG
twenty-seven cotton mills alone IN TINS
county. with an aggregate capitai u
about nine million dollars, thus turnl s.ao
ing support for a large percentage Oh INC
population These facts d1spel az once
the wonder why the growth of Spartan
! burg is so marvellous.

Some People Want

Some of the residents of Ra lis
county want a bridge across
Salt river at Asher's Ford
and some ether people do not
want it at the full expense Of
the County.
The result is a monster oppo-
sition petition in Saline town
ship is dead against the pro.
posed bridge.
From our point of view the
remonstrance is O. K. Because
the Asher Ford people fought
the Joanna br dge toa show
down, even when they well
knew that the interested farm.
ers and Monroe City was put.
ting up one half the cost of the
bridge.
They then thought 1t was
bleeding Rails county t. ask it
to pay for one half of Il good
bridge and now right right
about face and ask the county
to foot the entire bridge bill
for them.
Saline Township has put its
foot down hard and SAID no.
You forced US to aid the county
in building bridge, now go do
likewise for we will not be tax.
ed to pay for one tor you.
So now you have it in nut
shell.
William Hord, of Paris, was
in the city with friends Monday.
Joshua Nance has quit the
bridge gang on the Katy and
gone to work at the Meyer Mill
in Hannibal. He made the
change so as to be nearer his
family.
