WESTMINSTER STEAM LAUNDRY
1t is Expected Active Work win be
Begun Next Week.

DIR. III. E. Rosser, of Westminster,
WAS In Walhalla yesterday, and he
informed us that it Is the intention
of the promoters of the Westminster
Steam Laundry to begin active work
Is the Plaundry business next week
.fhis new company wants to do the
laundry work for Oconee, and we
heartily commend them to our peo-
pie. There is no good reason why
we should send money out Of the
county for things that can be bought
here or for work that our local peo-
pie can do just as we'll as others. 1t
! is intended to put on at once col
lecting and delivery wagons, which
Will visit Walhalla and Seneca each
week. 1t is probable that the col
iecting will be done in Walhalla on
Mondays, in Seneca Tuesdays; deliv-
cry will be made in Walhalla Thurs
days, In Seneca Fridays. This, how
ever, will be arranged definitely later
so as to conform to the wishes of the
patrons OF the enterprise. Local
agencies are wanted here and at Sem
eca for the business.
Aside from the regular collar and
cuff and small-piece laundry work
the new company will take full fam
lily washings at pound rates, charg-
Ing 3 cents per pound for unstarched
articles. and 8 cents per pound for
starched articles, both washed and
ironed. This rate, DR.. Rosser in
formed us, is slightly less than 10
per cent advance over the ordinary
prices charged by wash women.
The new concern should be given
a liberal patronage, and with salts
factory work there is no reason why
1t should not soon be doing. the en-
tire laundry work for Oconee county.

ries from all over the country as to
his proposed trolley line to connect

viii be running within Is months.
The people of Oconee seem to be
2Ireed on two measures now pend
ing in the Legislature. They want
t!e lien law killed and they want to
"ce Statewide prohibition. They be-
,lieve also that the oil inspection bill
should become a law.
1t is reported here that a deal has
been closed by which party of Spar
tanburg capitalists headed by A. B.
Grosce, have acquired the valuable
water power on Chauga creek, about
ten miles west Of Seneca, and will
develop 1T at once. The engineers

1900 horsepower can be obtained
