Cateechee is minus two of her
best mill men this week-the Sup
erintendent and the boss spinner.
Capt. W. Wood had superintend.
cd the Norris Cotton Mill for lit
tie over three years, and during
that time the mill continued to
prosper, so To speak, under his
charge. While Capt. Wood had
some disadvantages to contend
with while experimenting this
mill, he nearly always overcame
those obstacles and made sue ess
in whatever he undertook. Tt was
under his experimenting that a
we'll constructed dam was built
about one mile below the Norris
mill, dynamo placed there, end
the most of the machinery of that
mill is now being whirled by elec
trlclty, 1t was also under his
charge that an extension of seven
ty-two feet was added TO this mil,
and several hundred more spindles
are now whirling therein. We are
unable to say whether Capt. Wood
ever attended textile school or
not, but suffice it to say that he
understands his business in a cot
ton mill. We most respectfully
recommen him to tho good peo.
ssple of Moultrie, Ga where he has
gone to superiutend the Moultrle
mill at that plaee.
Next the good people Of this lit.
tie town are called on to mourn
tn ]oss of Mr.. ". f. Henderson
an !" estimqbie family. Mr..
Hd A$SSkpctof ip the capacity of
boss spinner in the mill at this
place for very near four years, and
during that time he gave entire
satisfaction so far as the writer
knows. Mr.. Henderson is gone to
Anderson, S. c., where lie will sup
erlntend the Townsend mill. We
predict success III that mill under
Mr.. Henderson, charge. Mr.. Hem
derson is we'll versed in mill tee
tics and will make a good superin.
tendent. lie has an cstinable
family (his wife is an exceptions
able good woman) and Cateechees =
loss is Anderson's gain.
The writer had the pleasure of
attending the association at Fall
Greek last week. Fall Creek church
is abou5 four miles north east Of
Salem III Oconee county and il sit
uated In n prosperous section. If
man will just go up thore and
SEQ the corn crops he Will come
away convinced that there will be
plenty Of cornbread next year.
The writer was assigned to a
home; that of Major BiIlingsley.
We fail to find words in the Eng
lIsh vocabulary sufficient to ex-
press our sincere thanks for the
. hospitality shown us there. Mr..
Billingsley and his estimable fam.
lily certainly know how to make o
stranger feel at home. When it
nnl nN I,
home it certainly was a blessing to
N hungry man to DO permitted to
fuce the dining room. The writer
. looked to have to stand III water
after he left there in order to keep
his finger nails and toe nails. We
had only ono consolation, namely,
that If we lost our nalls we would
have company in the person of NJ
II. Hester. We got uneasy abont
".Tup." His condition was more
serious than ours, as he took on
his big meals on the church ground
1is certainly soul stirring to visit
- ! home of MIR. Blllings!"y and
hear his three children, whose
ages range from seven TO eleven,
make music. Those three children
can sit down with note book and
make as good music as any choir
we ever listened to. May the Lord
bless those good people around Fall
Greek ohnrch is our prayer b.
