PIEDMONT MILL. SITUATION.
Iioslng OF Yarn Plants Would not Cause
Closing of Cloth Mills.

Spartanburg, April 18. 8.-Speciar
Should the hard spinners close down
their plants for period of sixtv davs
1t Will not necessarily follow that the
cloth manufacturers will close down
Their mills. However, should the warn
mills shut down it is more than likelv
that some of the cloth mills NAV close
down for the same reason. The clos
ing down OF the cloth mills is a matter
TO be determined by the owners of each
individual mill.
"A well known cotton mill president
IN speaking to-day of the cotton mill
situation in the up-country, stated that
II the hard yarn spinners close down ba-
cause OF the high cost of production
and the small demand for goods. tbn
same may lead to the closing down of
some OF the cloth mills. He said tbat
1t would be much easier for the small
mills to close down than the laroo,,
mills. Should the large mills close
down 1T would be difficult matter for
'hem TO reorganize their help, while
small mlll could close down, and when
ready TO resume operations could eas;r;,,
seC together three or four hundred on
eratives. oP~
There doesn't seem to be any likeE-
MOOD OF the mills that have orders
ahead les closing down their plants.
InaC the cotton mills in this sact;o,,
are confronted with a serious nrobinrn
Cnere can be no doubt. Many ffoei Of thenn

Mr.. j. N. Leak Withdraws.

For the past several months Mr.. J.
N. Leak has been connected with the
Laurens Trust Co. as selling agent and
real estate dealer. He has had almost
entire charge of this department of the
Trust Co. IS business. Under his able
management the business has grown to
large proportions, as may be seen from
the amount of property advertised and
the number of transfers that have been
effected. At the meeting of the Trust
Co. last week Mr.. Leak severed his
connection with this company and will
hereafter conduct real estate business
for himself. Mr.. Leak is remarkably
successful real estate dealer and will do
fine business in the future as he has
done in the past. A review of his ad-
vertisement this week gives an idea of
the property he is handling.

BIassingame Wins Suit.

A dispatch to the News and Courier
from Columbia is of interest to the peo
pie of Laurens. 1t is:
''The Supreme Court to-day filed its
decision in the case of Blassngame
against the city of Laurens, sustaining
the lower court, which refused a mo-
tion for non-suit. Blassingame, a
contractor of Greenville, entered into
contract with the city council of
Laurens to do certain macadamizing.
In his contract, which was entered on
the minutes of the city council, he
stated his price to be 80 cents per
square yard and the work was com
menced, but it appeared that the city
council was under the impression that
he had given his price at AZ cents per
cubic yard, and they caused him to stop
work and went so far as to have him
arrested. He brought suit for damages
in the amount of $5,282.l6 and was
awarded verdict Of 81, 500"

Dots From Rabun.

Many of the farmers have planted
up now.
The fruit crop is very promising this
year. The peach and apple trees are
loaded down with fruit and unless cold
weather comes an abundant crop may
be expected.
Very heavy rains fell in this section
last Wednesday. The rain was needed
as the ground had become very hard
almost too hard to plow IN places.
The measles, which have swept al
most the entire community, have some
what abated. Most all who were af-
flicted with them are up and able to be
at work
The school at Rabun taught by Miss
Mettie Putnam closed several days
ago, there being no picnic or other eX-
ercises on account of many of the chill
dren being down with measles.
The Rabun Creek Sunbeam band,
which meets on the second and fourth
Sundays, has some very interesting
meetings and is helping much the cause
of missions.
The regular preaching services were
held at Rabun Sunday conducted by the
Rev. j. M. Shell in the absence of the
pastor. The congregation was made up
largely of young people, to whom Mr.
Shell made very touching talk, speak
ing from the parable of the prodigal
son.
Easter was quite beautiful day,
though the Friday and Saturday pre-
ceding it promised cold day.
This community has been the scene
of fire raging in the forests for sew
eraI Sundays almost successively,
started by some unknown party or
parties. Should they be apprehended
doubtless they will be punished to the
full extent of the law

COUNCIL ACCEPTS
POWER CONTRACT
Electricity to be Furnish
ed by Reedy River Go.
ON TEN-YEAR BASIS.
According to Agreement the Minimum is
Fixed at 1873 II. p. at $50 Per
Horse Power.

The city council at its regular meet
ing last week closed ten-year con
tract with the Reedy River Power Com
pany for supplying the city of Laurens
with electricity. The contract calls for
minimum of 1873 horse power at a rate
of $4,000 per h. p. If the city uses
more than this amount the same rate
obtains up to an additional peak-load of
80 h. p.when new minimum of 1873 h.
p. is established provided the adGi-
tional amount be used for three days
consecutively. The days under this
contract are for twenty-four hours and
seven days in the week. The city, it is
understood, will sublet power to the
amount of three h. p. and under while
the Power Company will be permitted
to make contracts for supplies greater
than this. The city plant is a very
valuable piece of property and will be
kept in reserve for emergency.
In speaking of the contract, Mayor
Babb stated that the council had con
sldered the matter very carefully and
were Convinced that the new arrange
ment would be a considerable economy
to the city; he stated also that Mr..
Dial, president Of the Power Company.
had made three propositions to the
council, one of which was to furnish
the power for 10 per cent. less than the
present cost amounted to, but that the
contract agreed upon was even cheaper
than that. Mr.. Babb seemed verv
much pleased with the outcome of the
negotiations.
Mr.. Dial stated that the construction
work would be pushed with all possible
speed and that within three months it
would be completed. The transformers
were ordered this week. Mr.. DiaI
stated that the city of Laurens had q
better contract than most cities whose
rates he had looked into with the ex-
ception of Greenwood. In contracts of
this kind when the supply is for all day
(24 hours) the rate is very high in com
parlson to the 10 hour supplies in larger
bulks. Mr.. Dial stated that the Power
Company had tentative contracts to
furnish power for several large plants
OF various kinds in Laurens.
