a Gauge of National Wealth.


49,, There is much Of interest to this
country In the lately published report
Of the British board Of trade dealing
with the iron and steel industry and In
the German reports Oh the same sub
ject Both statements dwell upon the
remarkable growth Of the industry in
the United Stutcs, especially during the
last few years, and the extent to which
steel has replaced iron. Seven years
ago the pig iron production OF this
country was not much In excess Of that
Of England. Since then 1t has beeh
doubled, and although Germany has
increased its output by over 90 per
cent the American record now equals
the combined output OF both countries.
The steel report shows even more
notable Improvement. For every 100
tons of pig iron consumed for all pur-
poses eighty tons Of steel are made
here rs against scvcnty-ivc in Ger
many and slXty-thrce in the United
Kingdom. Germany's production OF
steel il only half Of ours, Englnnd's
but one third. The United States Is
today making over 100000 tons more
steel than all the world did nine years
ago ind is turning out almost half of
the total manufactured today.
There could be no moro striking dem
onstration Of the industrial develop
mcnt Of this country than Is furnished
IN these foreign figures, which strongly
present the overshadowing supremacy
Of the United States in iron and steel
products, which form one Of the great
est SOurccS Of national wealth.

This enterprise has been of IN
told value to the poor class of peo-,

gives employment yet 1T is,a ready
market for anything salable. We
have heard it said if 1t were not

not have hardly lived for the past
five years. When they have q.

There is as high a price paid for
cotton at this place as any market

we wish to say that Central needs
another cotton buyer. Why not
have competition? We understand
that r. G. Gaines is in the market
all the time with J. E. Brown

buyer it would make things a lit.

Quite recently United States Senator

willie herald.
Brother CraWford's" presence
at several important gatherings,
recently, seems.to have given the
present State officials u slight un-
easiness. Accordingly, quiet forces
have been set to work to quiet the
fears of the present administration
and now it Is authoritlvely assert.
ed that Mr.. Ansel won't be- a can-
didate for governor next year in
opposition to Governor Hayward ;.
The Columbia correspondent of
the News and Courier sums up the
situation as follows:
"There was some talk immedi-
ately after the first primary of laet
year that Mr.. Martin Il. Ansel
would be pressed for governor at
the next primary, in view of tt Q
surprising and extraordinary race
that he made with the strong field
in the race. He has stated that
he. will not oppose Governor Hey
ward for reelection, but he has
his eye OH the governors chair
after that" -
This same correspondent states
that Governor Hayward will stand
for reelection as will all of his
cabinet, unless it is Treasurer Jen-
nings, who has had the office for
two terms. We ars further in
formed by the Columbia corret .
pondent that
"The impression now is that If
Gov. Hcyward's; administration
continues to run as smoothly and
satisfactorily as at present, he will
have no opposition in 1904"
So it seems to have been pretty
we'll settled by the politicians, and
notice given, that every heretofore
prospective candidate will be ex.
pected to curb his political ambi.
ticn for two years longer, at l. asst
after which time the field will be
open TO all comers. If the specu
lations of the Columbia CORRESPOND.
ent materlalize there will be only
two POSITIONS on the State ticket
open for candidates-that of treas
urer and one railroad commissions
er. As this correspondent bases
his calculations OH the fact that
the present officials will have only
served one term, we can't under.
stand why he leaves Mr.. Garris,
railroad commissioner, out of the
picture.
And then, again, how is it that
the Prohibitionlsts are left out of
these calculations? Have they,
too, been mot led of the general
impression and persuaded to give
tho dlspensary administration two
more years of life?
The contingency on which the
correspondent bases his ''impres.
sion' is the continued smoothneas
of Governor Hevward's adminis-
tration. We don't know exactly
what our friend considers smooth
as applied to Gov. Heyward's ad-
ministration, but we have noticed
that the same kind of friction that
has appeared. nd been condemned
in every reform administrator has
also shown itself under Governor
Heywald's administration-at least
the present administration has not
been altogether "ball> >beafing."
just simply little less adverse

could never: see any. good thing

ment Of the mill prospered so we'll
under it's Superintendent, Capt.
Wood, who is a northern man, and
man in tho right place, and the
water power being insufficient to
operate all the machinery, electric
ity was decided upon in Connection
with the water power.
In January 1901, the Etheridge
Granite Company, of Elberton,
Ga, commenced the. erection of O.
dam for a dynamo about q mile
below the mill, on the same river,
Crwelve MileD near the Lay
bridge. In about eight months
they completed one of the best rock
dams in the South and in few
weeks after the completion Of the
dam, part of this machinery at
tho Norris mill was being whirled
by electricity. It was then that
the president, Col. Norris, found
cut that he had more power than
he could utilize with the size of
the mill as it was. With this in
view, a meeting of the stockhold.
ers was called and $4,000 more
decided upon for seventy-two feet
extension to tho present mill. The
contract tor this was let to Messrs.
Loften e. Thompson, Of Gastonia,
N. O., which is now in course of
erection and is being pushed as
rapidly as possible.
When completed this new addi-
ton will contain 5,04O spindles and
100 looms, making in all 1928
spindles and 452 looms. In ell
larglng the mill, Of course, called
for more tenant houses With
this in Wow, three more cottages
for overscers and five for opera
tives have just been completed. as
also has an up.to.date hotel; a
hotel that would be credit to any
city the size of GreenviIle.
Mr.. Compton, of Easley, has
just recently taken charge of the
hotel and we are told is giving en-.
tire satisfaction TO those who are
stopping with him. Besides the
hotel there are two regular private
boarding houses. Messrs. O. G.
Smith and A. J. Crane being the
proprietors. We understand they
have about all the guests they can
accommodate.
In connection with the mill the
company runs one Of tho largest
country stores IN South Carolina.
