The 40. X" Mills Start Work.

On Monday, January I'd, the machinery
of the Oconee Knitting Mills started run
ming, and the management expects soon
to have on the market a supply Of hosiery
of the 60 X. Mills" brand. The mills
started operations with about fifteen
hands. OF course they are unskilled and
will have to be trained to the work, but
this will not require great length of
time. The two ovorseers are thoroughly
competent knitting mill men, and will
see that everything is in smooth running
shape in short while. The ma
chihery for this mill is the very latest
and best, and the mill starts out with
bright prospects. There is rplenty of
room for doubling or trebling it's ca
pacity without extra cost except for
machinery. The building was erected
with a view to increasing the amount of
machinery. 1t is handsome structure
and has frequently been mistaken for q
small cotton mill. 1t is ono of the best
plants in the South.

Rrevlty in Pulpit Finds Commentator.
washington Times, December 20.

Is Washington Times, December 29,]
Not many preachers have cultivated
brevity in their sermons to the same ex-
tent as the Rev. Oliver johnson, of South
Carolina, the "Seceder," who is often
heard in Washington pulpit, and who
in his speech is gifted with style pecu-
liarly simple and forceful. He recently
preached a series of five sermons at
Yorkville, S. O., remarking upon which
the Yorkville Enquirer says:
Because of Mr.. Jobnson's wide repu-
tation as man and a pastor the ASCOT
ate Reformed people had high expeota-
tions and they were not disappointed.
Mr.. Johnson's sermons are notable for
their clearness, soundness and brevity.
He seldom speaks over twcnty minutes
and sometimes not more ,han fifteen
minutes; but he wastes no words.
There is food for thought In every SEN
tence, and in each of his we'll rounded
discourses enough plain gospel truth for
no end of profitable reflection. Every
body who heard this most excellent
preacher feels better for the experience"
