SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL
Unique Business Club.
RecrOd.

Manufacturer RScrOd.
The Manufacturers Club at Char.
lotte, n c., is an unusual organization.
It's location in a central position among
the manufacturing interest Of the Pied
mont region of the South Atlantic
States contributes, perhaps, to it's op-
portunities.
II one visits Charlotte and is given
a card to the club, this card intro
duces him to what seems to be a we'll
organized and well-attended social or
ganization. While this is true, he is.
as matter Of fact, inside an organ.
ization where there Is much more go
ing on than social intercourse.
II the visitor wants to build cot
ton mill he can find three or four men
either of whom can tell him all about
it and who stand ready to furnish
plans, machinery and build the plant.
If it is knitting mill, an expert in
this line can be found also. II it Is
machinery to wind hosiery yarn onto
cones, he can get full information and
buy the machines in the building. II
it is 1000 bales of cotton that Is
wanted. he will have several gentle
men pointed out any one Of whom will
contract to furnish it at close market
prices. II it is cotton seed oil mill
or refinery or sulphuric acid cham
Der, it's all the same; some member
of the club can furnish full information
and contract to accomplish the desired
result. The club numbers among its
members yarn commission men from
Philadelphia, New York, Providence
and Boston, and others who live in
Charlotte; also cloth commission men
from the same cities. The club has In
the list of its members numerous cot
ton mill presidents, treasurers and
managers. Yarn and cloth are both
abundantly bought and sold in very
quiet way. A cotton mill president and
a cloth commission man sit down to-
gether for quiet talk, and when they
part $4,000 worth of cloth has been
bought and sold. A mill treasurer and
a cotton buyer happen to meet. and in
q few minutes several hundred bales
of cotton have changed ownership.
The club is really an exchange in a
quiet way, as well as social organ.
ization. 1t resembles the Royal Ex-
change in Manchester more than any
other place in this country does, yet
it is not strictly a business organiza-
ton, as the Manchester exchange Is.
The organization Is wholly social in
form, but its members aim to make It
facilitate business and contribute to
the industrial development Of the en-
tire territory surrounding Charlotte.

charlotte's $3.50, 600 Mil.

In the Manufacturers Record Of
January Is it was-announced that the
Highland Park Manufacturing Co. Of
Charlotte, N. c., had decided to build
an additional mill to contain 1000
looms, but location had not been
selected, both Charlotte and Rock
Hill, 8. c., being under consideration.
During the present week 1t was def
nitely determined that the plant be
located at Charlotte, certain conces-
sions made by the city ensuring its
immediate construction. Work on the
buildings will begin in few weeks,
and the equipment is expected to be
ready for operation by next January
Besides the 1000 looms mentioned,
there will be 10000 spindles, and the
plant will cost about $3.50, 600, as pre-
viously stated. Stuart w. Cramer Of
Charlotte has been engaged as archi-
tect-engineer in charge, and he also
has contract to supply the textile ma
chinery. Ginghams will be the pro-
duct. This will be the third Highland
Park plant, the company having now
1880 spindles and 1,200 looms at
Charlotte, and $500 ring spindles with
1856 looms at Rock Hill, S. G. In con-
nection with this latter plant cotton
seed oil mill is also operated, and mem
bers Of the Highland Park company
have formed another company, capt.
talized at 100000, to build cotton
seed oil mill at Charlotte.

THE KILLING OF DAVIS.

He knew nothing'of a killing at
Lashley's camp. but there was a man
killed at McIver's camp, white man
named c. NJ. Davis, who refused to
work. Two men were ordered to take
him in a building. He stabbed one of
them and dashed out, throwing rock
at another. He paid no attention to or
ders to stop, and was shot dead by
order of Supervisor Mclver. Davis had
told a company that he intended to Kill
his supervisor with his pick.
Superintendent Mann also read a
number of letters to Supervisors Lash
ley and McIver, urging the proper
conduct Of the camps, and the protec-
ton CT the men. He il sure the con-
victs are fed better than nine-tenths OF
the laboring people who work for
themselves. With reference to the sick
men brought over last fall, letters
showed that they be transported with
out hardship or suffering. He ordered
that the convicts from Mitchell be 81
lowed to rest as long as necessary to
put them in good condition. He could
not say that no convicts were made
sick by the movement, but he was ad-
yised that those who have Deen indis-
posed are recovering.

they're practically the same Once in a lifetime powerful magnetism makes itself gentle and kind in order to help some lesser nature; but, as a iule, 1t isn so ,and often under the very guise of a well meant kindness the stronger mag. netism is slowly, but surely, crushing the weaker. And that, too, unconscIously, for it's the nature instinct all through life the stronger is born to crush the weaker, and 1t almost has to in order to carry out the reason of It's being. So you de- rive strength from talking and exercising your mind with such personality. but If you stay with 1t you die mentally be- fore you have become its equal. Your friends, the ones you confide in and see day in and day out, must be the kind who while leading you gently forward all the time make you superbly conscious Of your own powers and possibilities It must be so if you want to amount to anything.

Kate Clyde Moralizes on
 Living by Our FriendC.

I think can illustrate this by making you remember what you felt as a child. I don't care how much spirit you had. there were certain people whose eyes seemed to read into your very soul whose personalities froze what little individual ity and spontaneity you had, and they were not necessarily the ones who had authority over you, either. Then you grew up, went away perhaps, and when you came back--oh, how weak and foolish these gods of your youth seemed to you! That was because you had progressed and even passed them. When you meet an overpowering personality today. you can do the same thing. Observe that person once for all as if you had him under the microscope. Then leave and try your best to go him one better. Strengthen yourself along every point. The time will come when you will meet that same per- son and absolutely laugh that such a magnetism could ever have caused you one minutes trouble.

 It's more than partly question of mag netism There are magnetisms which irri- tate us by their smallness and inferiority. others that continually prick us with their i'll concealed envy. others-perhaps the worst-so tremendous and overpowering that they make us feel our own bitter in feriority, and the impossibility of being anything or doing anything acceptably while in that blighting presence. And this, mind you. even when the person who thus affects us is outwardiy all smiles and encouragement.

"UNDREssEDu MARINES.
Wording of the Presidents Order
 Surprises Veteran Officers.


 An order issued by the President him. self, directing that in certain circum- stances the marine corps shall appear "undressed" is causing War Department officials anxiety. As it comes straight from the President there Is nothing to do but obey.
 But there Is doubt and discussion as to just how 1t shall be compiled with. The gray-haired officers cling to the belief that the "undressed'' order simply means that full dress shall not be worn.
 There are younger officials, however who insist that the order is to be literally obeyed. and that it's fulhllment Is in tended strikingly to commemorate an eveutful battle in the Samar campaign in the Philippines. It Is recalled that dur ing the Crimean war an English regiment went into battle half dressed and a royal command was issued that on certain oc- casions the victorious regiment should appear with one sleeve of their Jackets hanging empty.
