Charlotte Instead Of Rock Hill.
Charlotte Observer, January 25: The
publication in the Observer Of the fact
that the Highland Park Manufacturing
company proposed to build a $450,000
cotton mill either in Charlotte or Rock
Hill, s. c., has been matter Of much
interest to both communities, and until
recently it seemed that Rock Hill
would get the big prize. Charlotte is
to be the winner. There has been no
meeting Of the stockholders Of the
company since their annual meeting
ten days ago; but 1t Is certain that
the mill will be located here and al
most certain that it will be built on
the Wadsworth farm mile and half
north Of the city. Other sites that
have been offered are on the farm
owned by DIR. G. L. Alexander and DR..
George w. Graham, and one on the
Paul Chatham place, on the Seaboard
Air Line, two and q half miles from
town. Mr.. Charles w. Johnston, man
ager of the Highland Park mills, and
Colonel w. E. Holt, inspected the
Wadsworth site yesterday and are In
favor Of that location. All Industrial
interests here owe depth Of thanks to
this company, which always builds big
mills that prosper and add new citizen
ship to community, and are Of mate
rial aid in the general upbullding Of a
place.
The Poisoned Medical Students.
Mr.. John M. Boyce may get well; but
there Is no hope for Mr.. Mcleod.
That Is the substance of the infOrma-
ton the Charlotte Observer Of Monday
printed about the two young medical
who are suffering from blood
poison, contracted in the dissecting
room at Davidson college recently.
Both had high fever Sunday night.
The fever was reduced from time to
time by means of the cold bath treat
ment, but the reduction was only tenn
porary. AS soon as the treatment
ceased the fever rose again. Both
young men realize the seriousness OF
their condition. Mr.. Boyce is more
hopeful than Mr.. Mcleod. In fact, Mr..
Mcleod has calmly given himself up
