Clayton, n. G., June 9.-Five years
ago the impression prevailed that Clay
ton was a finished village, with no fu-
tire except a good trading point for
the splendid farming country that
surrounds the place. 1t had five or
six hundred people-among the elect,
TOO, Of North Carolina folks-who
seemed satisfied to sell goods and farm
and take life easily. About that time
the men here with capital-(and Gay
ton has men who have made big mon
ey)-found that they had surplus
money to invest. Some of them had
been putting it in enterprises in lar
ger cities and they began to ask them
selves: "Why not organize enterprises
here that will build up Clayton ana
give play to our own folks in manu-
facturing?' That question was
answered in the affirmative and a
large tract of land in east Clayton was
purchased and the Clayton cotton mill
was organized with a capital of $125,-
coo with Ashley Horne as presiden;
and j. NJ. Turley as secretary and
treasurer. 1t has been managed ad-
mirably and has made money every
year There are no fancy salaries. no
costly directorate, no waste! no ex-
travagance. 1t is run like other busi-

holders (nearly all the stock is owned
here) asked themselves: "Why not
double the plant, add to our population
and make more money!" That second
question was answered in the affirma-
tive, and work is now actively going
forward upon a large brick addition
which will exactly double the capacity
of the plant.
Already the company has completed
thirty homes-neat houses, too, with
ground enough about each for flower
yard and a garden-for the operatives
when the new addition is completed.
The men who own the cotton mill
