Excitement III the Oil Mill Situation.
New Mail Route Personal and
Otherwise.

Prosperity, S. c., March rs, 1903. -
We had a little f1utter of excitement in
the oil mill situation this week. An oil
mill man was here, DR.. Fowler, but
it matters not about his name, for to
us laymen in this department of indus
try he was known as the coil mill man. "
He made a proposition, and while the
oil mill fraternity were considering, the
rest of the town waited, scarcely
breathing. And while there seemed to
somewhat of a disappointment at this
proposition of the coil mill man" being
rejected we still have our faces to the
front and are 'eXpecting something to
turn up"
Mr.. w. B. Wise, of Washington, Ga, ,
is here among his old friends and ac-
quaintances.
Rural delivery route No. will begin
from this place May lst. The route
man has not yet been appointed. This
will cover the section north and north
west of our town.
Mr.. B. l.. Wheeler visited his old
home this week. He is now in the mail
service between Greensboro, N. G.. and
Jacksonville, Fla.
The children's missionary society Of
Grace Sunday-school will render an
Easter service Easter Sunday.
Mr. II. H. Rikard visited our city to-
day.
The steel part of the bridge over the
Saluda has been completed. The trav-
cling public are now awaiting the COM
pletion of the approach from this side.
G. G. Sale, Esq, spent Wednesday

A citizens meeting to nominate town

of this week.

OVERSEBR ABUSED OPERATIVE.
Operative Was Young Lady and Has
Been Observation-Disclosures Fined
$500 BY the Mayor.

Jesse Jones, second overseer in the
spinning room at the Newberry Cotton
Mill, was brought before Mayor Ear
hardt Tuesday morning charged with
using abusive language to young lady,
Miss Carrie Addy, one of the operatives
under him in the spinning room. Jones
pleaded guilty, saying that he had
called Miss Addy a ''liar," that she was
a liar, and he had told her so. Jones
was fined $500 and went back to his
work in the mill. The young lady had
| been discharged on Monday.
The affair occurred in the spinning
room on Friday. A rumor became cir
culated to the effect that one Of the
overseers would probably be discharged
and was being watched. Jones heard
the rumor and went to Miss Addy, who
is young lady of about eighteen years
of age, and asked hcr if she had started
it. Miss Addy replied that she had not
but that Jones wife had told her that
Jones had said that one of the ovcrscers
was being watched and would probably
be discharged. Jones replied that it
was not true and the matter was dropped
for the time. Miss Addy mentioned
the affair to one of the operatives in
the room and it came to Jones notice.
He again accosted the young lady and
she repeated that she had not said any
thing about the matter in the mill until
after he had mentioned it to her the
first time and also repeated that Jones'
wife had said that the rumor came from
Jones himself. Jones said that it was
lie, that his wife had not said any
thing, and that Miss Addy was "noth-
ing but an internal liar anyway" This
is the story as given by Miss Addy's
father
The case was brought before the
town authorities by Mr.. Addy. 1t was
set for trial on Monday morning. The
young lady went to the mill on Monday
and was allowed to 60 to work. In the
meantime Jones was informed that the
case had not been settled, but would be
heard Tuesday. Monday noon Miss
Addy received her time and was dis
charged.
There were no witnesses in the May
or's court Tuesday. There was to have
been one, a young lady friend of Miss
Addy's. This young lady witness was
at the show at the opera house the
night before and worked in the mill all
day Monday, but was too sick to tcs-
tify Tuesday morning.
The affair as told by the operatives,
is straight and condensed: can over
seer called one of the young ia,iies in
his room a liar. He admitted it before
the Mayor and was fined. The young
lady was discharged. The overseer
holds his position. The only witness,
who had been in the best Of health the
day before, and who was bosom
friend of Miss Addy, was "too sick" to
testify. Nor is she to be blamed"
