coacrste Building Block Plant.
[Greenville News.

Concrete building blocks are growing
in favor hereabout. Recently v. M. Mo.
Gee purchased machinery for a plant to
manufacture the blocks here, and j. f.
Hicks, of this city, is considering plan
to establish IA similar plant in Greer
With B. G. Rowling, representing the
F. b. Myers Company, f jackson, Mich,
he visited Greer the other day, and was
very mach pleased with the outlook for a
successful plant
Concrete.sto hollow building blocks
have been used for an iuiiuito variety OF
purposes and are said to have demon
strated their superiority over bricks.
The new Rhodes Cotton Mill, at Lincoln
ton, N. c., is TO be built of concrete
blocks on the ground by II. w. Beall, of
Sumter. Although numerous manufac.
turing establishments all over the North
have been made of these blocks, it is said
that the new Rhodes mill will be the first
cotton mill in the world to be built in
this way. 1t is we'll within the range OF
probability that the familiar, but ugly,
brick cotton mill will soon give place to
the handsomer and more durable con.
orete stone.
An interesting feature Of the work at
the Rhodes mill is that twenty five tene-
ment houses, as we'll as large residence,
will be built Of this manufactured stone.
Among the advantages claimed for the
material is the fact that it makes build
ing cooler in summer and warmer in
winter, because of the insulating air
spaces 10 tho center of the blocks.
Another claim is that ten-inch wall
of this material is stronger than one of
seventeen inches laid with brick. In the
selection of material for building cotton
mills, the questions of time and cost are
both important, usually. 1t is claimed
for concrete stone that where suitable
sand is available near the mill site, the
blocks can be made and laid for as low
cost as brick, and that they can be manu-
factured and laid in the walls in less time
than it takes to burn brick.

Honea Path, March S.-About
half past five this afternoon, while
attempting to arrest one of the Ash
leys, John Martin Ashley, whose
name was mentioned in connection
with the lynching of the negro Allen
Pendleton last fall, whipped out his
pistol and, attempted to shoot Police
man White.&sWhite pulled out his
pistol and sevefal shots were ex-
changed at close range. Ashley was
mortally wounded, both shots from
Whites gun having entered Ashley's
body with deadly effect.
White received a wound, but it
cannot be learned how serious, as his
friends spirited him off to a hiding
place. w, 2l
Excitement was high when the
shooting took place, and all kinds of
wild rumors were afloat az to the in
tentions of the Ashleys, who are here
in large numbers. So far they have
done nothing except watch closely
what they think is the hiding place
of White, threatening to kill him at
first sight.
The military company from An
derson has been ordered here, and is
expected within an hour. Excite
ment is less, but the company was
sent for to give the best protection
to the policeman. The whole town
is armed and should the Ashleys at
tempt to reach White bloody riot
will follow.
John Marion Ashley died about
10 o'clock. Capt. p. Il. McCully

There could scarcely be a more
praiseworthy purpose than that
which called the Inter State Forestry
Congress together in Charlotte re-
Gently. The object is to organize
associations in all of the Southern
States for the prime purpose of saw
ing the forests which are being so
fast razed to the ground. 1t is high
time that a halt was called in the
reckless cutting away of the forests,
and it is to be hoped that the Con-
gress will be thoroughly successful
in arousing the popular interest in
the work undertaken.

Clsmson's Base B,iI Schedule.

Manager G. Roy Barksdale, of tho
Clemson College base ball team. has com.
pleted his schedule of the games for the
coming season, and announces that the
work of preparation for these games will
be carried forward now with all energy.
There will be seventeen games altogether
mostly with South Carolina colleges, but
including contests also wi two Georgia
schools and one North Carolina school, as
follows:
March 24-Georgia Tech, in Atlanta.
March 2l-Uhiversity of Georgia, in
Athens. Double header.
April 7-Furnan University, at Glenn
son College.
April l2-Trinity College, at Clemson
College.
April l4-Erskine College, at Clemson
College.
April 20 and 2l-Mercer University, in
Macon.
April 25-Wofford College, in Spartan
burg. During musical festival.)
April 26-Erskine College, in Due West.
April 27-Furman University, in Green
wood. (Oratorical contest.)
April 2s-Newberry College, in New
berry.
April 3O-Georgia Tech, at Clemson
College.
May 4-Furman University, in Green.
Vile.
May 5--Trinity College, in Charlotte.
May 0-Welsh Neck High School, at
Clemson College.
May l2-Date open.
May 10-Newberry College, at Clemson
College.
This makes good, fast set of games
and will give the Clemson team plenty
Of chances to show their mettle. A
gratifying feature to the Clemson student
body is the number of games to be
played on the campus.
Coach John w. McMakin, who will
play again with the Alabama Colonels
during the professional season, has gone
to Clemson and is limbering up his men
There is little old material available, only
two possible men out Of the dozen or
more old regulars needed having re-
turned. The new material is yet too raw
to enable anyone TO size up the team
with any degree of accuracy. 1t is safe
to say that the Clemson athletic spirit
and McMakin's coaching will produce a
team that will be creditable and sports
man-like, if not invariably VICTORIOUS.
Manager Barksdale is a hard-worker
in the interests of his nine, aud Capt. A.
q. Ellison will do his best, backed by a
level head and considerable base ball
experience, to run the games.
