THE COTTON MILL.
WAJ
Nj. L. SHIPMAN

In an interview with w. A. Smith,
Esq. Messrs. Tanner and Durham, of
the Henrietta Mills, said they would To-
cate near town if sufficient inducements
wer offered them. AS the matter now
stands the company owns nearly 500
acres of land at the falls, and to consider
some nearer location to town suitable in
ducements would have to be offered
them. 1t is the opinion of most of u
business men that the closer the mill is
located to town the better. For one
thing the company would have electric
current to sell, and competition is al
ways good for a community.
1t is suggested that those of our citi-
mi who have talked so earnestly about
the need of a cotton mill here, will now
have an opportunity to back their words
with deeds. If the mill is to be close 20
town, say one mile, the business men of
H~eEdersonville should get busy aud do
everything in their power to bring it
here. 1t really rests with them wheGher
it is to be built near town or at the falls.
One thing is sure and that is the big
mill will actually be in ourse of con
struction within less than four mouths.

Another Mass Meeting2

There is talk of another mass meet
ing being held to amend the road law
adopted by the citizens, present at the
court house last Saturday. 1t is said
that many of our people believe each
township should manage it's own road
building and have the spending of their
own funds, and they are talking of
having the law altered in that respect.
There seems to be some opposition to a
general road supervisor. The move
ment, rs yet, has not taken definite
shape.

Sells Entire Stock of the PeO-
pies Store to the New
York and st. Louis
Consolidated Saw
age Co.


J.. NJ. Goldman o: the New York and
st. Louis Consolidated Savage Co. has
bought the entire stock of merchandise
of the Peoples Department. Store in
Greenville. s. c., and will inaugurate a
grand carnival sale beginning Wednes-
day, January 9, at 9 O'Clock and lasting
for l6 days.
They will include the entire stock in
this sale and will be sold at 27c on the
dollar, which will enable everybody to
buy their needs for a whole year. Mr..
Owens has purchased a beautiful home
in Atlanta and will make that city his
residing place from now on. His fami-
~ has left this city for their new home
and Mr.. Owens will follow shortly as he
is detained here owing to some impor-
tant business necessary to wind up Ieav
ing. In selling this stock to the New
York and St. Louis Consolidated Co.,
Mr.. Owens made explicit mention that
this savage company must not remove
this stock from Greenville until they
have first inaugurated a sale here and
given the people of GreenYille and sur
rounding country the benefit of the low
prices that merchandise will be sold.
The advertising for this grand carni-
val sale has been started and we can say
that this is the best advertised sale aver
held in Greenville or in the south.
Thousands of dollars are being spent for
advertising and all this is a slight in
sight of what the sale will actually be.
The only way to get at its magnitude is
to attend it and witness it with your own
eyes.
The Peoples store building will be all
decorated 10 black so that no one car
mistake the place. Banners and signs
will Indicate where the greatest sale of
merchandise is being held-Look for
them. A very unique idea of Mr..
Goldman a member of the savage com-
pany will be to throw off of the Peoples
Store building absolutely free to every
body a quantity of mems and women
wearing apparel, and would suggest that
az many as can arrange should be pres
emit and get their share-This Savage
Co. has arranged TO pay railroad fare
to all purchasers of $25, which will
bring a great many people to Green
vile to attend this sale. 1t will be to
your advantage to read the advertising
matter that appears in this issue as
every housewoman can a v enough for
a double supply. This will be a grand
festival sure and no one al afford to
miss it. It will pay. you to come 100
miles to attend this sale of the Peoples
Store stock at Greenville, s. c., held by
the New York and st. Louis Consoli-
dated Savage Co., at the old stand Of
the Peoples Store. Sale begins We'd
nesday, January 9, at 9o'clock and will

Funeral March for Heroic
Dead Has Meaning Be-

VERY year, in the full tide of
r. spring, at the height of the SYM
phony of flowers and love and
life, there comes a solemn pause, and
through the silence the nation hears
the lonely pipe of death.
Year after year lovers wandering
under the apple boughs and through
the clover are surprised with sudden
tears as they see black-veiled figures
stealing through the morning to sol
diers grave.
Year by year the comrades of the
dead follow, with public honor, pro
cession and commemorative flags and
funeral march-tribute from us who
have inherited a nations glory to the
heroes who gave it.
AS surely as this day comes round
we are in the presence of the dead.
But not all the associations of this
day are sad; some of them are tri-
umphant. even joyful.
We seem to hear the funeral march
become pean. Our heroic dead sull
live for us, and bid us think of life,
not death-of life to which in their
youth they lent the passion and glory
of the spring.

This brings me to the ugliest story
my enemies have concocted against
me. No one appreciates more thor
oughly than that, to rise high, man

which washes him far higher than he

here refer to any attack on me in the

has done and is doing for us, and to
ask ourselves what we can do for our
country in return.

killed the emperor ordered that his
heart should be entrusted to his regi-

at every roll call and that his next
comrade should answer, Dead upon
