The cohoes Min Starts.

/ Amidst the SaIuteS OF Whistles.
and the applause Of the assem-
bled throng, Mayor j. T. Gunter
touched the button yesterday af-
ternoon which put in motion the
ponderous machinery Of the
Cohoes Cotton Mill. 1t was an
suspicious and significant occa-
sion for Columbus and a number
I of our leading citizens gathered
at the mill to witness the opening
81 rha ra.n, the beginning Of an
enterprise which means much for
Columbus.
The occasion was a happy one.
On the third floor Of the massive
mill building space had been re-
served for the opening exercises.
At one end of the building was
presented a huge streamer bear
/ ing the picture of two clasped
hands on either side of which were
the words Columbus" and "Co-
hoes, tipifying happily the idea
| of an industrial union between
these two sections. Immediately
in front of the design were the
chairs and the space reserved for
the visitors. The opening exer-
cises were brief but Of the happi-
est nature. Following a prayer
by Rev L. NJ. Broyles, Mr.. J. T.
/ Senter made a short address and
he was followed by Mr.. John Nc
Ginnis, superintendent of the new
mill, who gave his first impress
sions of Columbus and the South
in general. Mayor Gunter was
introduced and made a good talk
after which Mr.. MoGinnis said
the honor of starting the machin-
cry had fallen to Columbus hon.
ored Mayor, Mr.. Gunter, who
soon set the machinery in motion.
The Cohoes mill, or the Column
bus Underwear Co., as 1T is char
tered and known, is one of the
many large industrial plants
which has been located in this
city during the past year. The
building is an immense one, four
stories in height and it is equip
ped with modern machinery which
VIII be devoted to the manufac-
ture of underwear of all kinds.
When in full operation it will en-
ploy over two hundred hands and
the mill begins with every augury
of success.
Mr.. McGinRiss, the superin
tendent of the mill, is q New
Yorker who has recognized the
tremendous possibilities OF this
section In this line, and since his
residence here has impressed
every one AS being fine man,
thoroughly equipped for his work
and he has taken a high stand in
the esteem and confidence of our
people. He has surrounded HIM
self with capable force and the
work Of educating labor for the
machinery of the plant will now
be undertaken.
Columbus rejoices in the reali-
zation of this splendid project and
it begins work with prospects of
unbounded success.

no money to be made on the farm, would
do we'll to follow the example of DIR. b.

Elberton containing less than three quar-
ters of an acre-to be accurate 7O-1O0 of

A Plea for Longer Pastorates.

Westminster, r. f. d. No. 2, May H.
Editors Courier: Rev. w. j. Percell, of
Georgia, will preach at South Union on
next Saturday night by request of the
pastor. Rev. Percell has been pastor of
one church near his home, in Georgia,
for more than twenty years and now this
church numbers more than 300 members.
What a power this church and preacher
must be for Christ. Let some of our
churches and preachers learn of this
church and preacher how to have long
pastorates. The hunting church or
preacher never stay together long enough
to accomplish the best results. Some
times it is time that the preacher is just
where he ought to remain, but he gets
an idea that go he must, and go he does,
although the church wants him to remain.
Sometimes the church has just the
preacher it needs, but have notion that
they must change, and change they must.
want to see the churches in the Bea-
verdam Association form into fields, say
of four each, and make indefinite calls,
and locate pastors in their midst, but
this cannot be done with any degree of
success while churches keep up the
annual call. In some sections of this
State that are less prosperous than this
the churches practice forming fields and
locating preacher in their midst, and it
is needless to say that by this arrange
ment they are surprising us. In the
community where this scribe was reared
the above was practiced and nothing but
love for pastor and people existed.
All of our churches have good preach
ers, but the need is that he should live
with his people and be their shepherd; +;
this is best for pastor and people. All
reform has its friends and opposers.
Most town and city churches adopt such
methods, and many country churches.
If you will publish it, will send you
a clipping from paper on the indefinite
CALL Correct.

VIII Cut is Per Cent.

Spartanburg, May 1.-The county
cotton growers met: at the court house
to-day at noon, about 80 representative
farmers from various parts of the county
being in attendance. After the calling
of the meeting to order, President
Archer asked for reports. The commit
teemen and others were heard from first
as to reduction of acreage and fertilizers.
From the acreage reports there was
great variance of estimates, ranging
anywhere from nothing to 80 per cent,
and about three-quarters of the county
was represented at the meeting. A safe,
conservative estimate of this reduction
is placed by successful farmer at Is per
cent. There seems to be little reduction
of fertilizers, but it appears that great
amount of guano has been used on the
corn crop. President Archer delivered
a practical talk of short duration, urging
the farmers to seek self.supportin q
basis and raise WI It they needed at
home. A resolution was unanimous ly
passed requesting fertilizer men and
wholesale dealers who put up packages
in salt to use cotton sacks instead of
jute

Marion PARIS insurance has been paid.
The agent of the Virginia Life Insurance
Company received a check from the home
Office for the full amount carried by the
man who was recently hanged, $213. The
policy was made payable to the wife of
Marion Parr, Mrs. Nell Parr, and acting
under the law in such cases the insurance
was paid to her. 1t will be recalled that
Parr made will in which he left the
policy to his mother, but as the face of
the policy was not changed it was decided
that the money would have to be paid the
beneficiary. 1t was said that Mrs. Parr,
the mother, had signed release so far
as the will is concerned.
