lowed it. Second, the Merchants
Association made all kinds Of
concessions and pledged the or
ganization to support the mill
and protect it against many
things that are feared in a gen.
eral way-that is in regard to ex-
tention Of city territory and
things of that kind. Third, the
tear Shirts" this including the
general citizenship who did all in
their power to convince Mr..
Erwin, Mr.. Watts, Mr.. Duke and
others who are backing this great
plant, that Durham was the
proper place.
Outside Of the story that tells
of the large pay roll when the
mill is completed there is another
story of interest. Hundreds of
men will be put to work on the
plant in the building and there
will be plenty Of work in a short
while. 1t is all a good story and
this is one of the best the Sun
has carried for many months.
Durham has the new Erwin
mill and a town of five thousand
population will sprihg up as if by
magic.
MORE THAN 200, 600 sPINDLEs.
By reference to the textile
directory it is seen that Mr.. w.
A. Erwin, who is the head Of
this great industry, now has un'
der his control a total of l57,0
spindles. The additional contro
of so. 900 spindles will give hin
direct control of 207, 900 spindle:
and the new mill will be the
greater of any other. Without
figuring it is said that he today
has under his control more spin

southern states.
The spindles that he now ha
under his direction are as follows

DURHAM GETS new Mill.
WILL Be KNOWN As ERWIN MILL NO. 4.
Decision Reached Thursday About
Noon VIII Be the Largest
Cotton Mil In the
State.

Cotton Nil 10 the
State.
The question Of the establish
ment of Erwin Mill No. 4. has
been decided and Durham is the
winner.
This decision was reached
Thursday just before noon at a
meeting of the projectors in this
city, when all the ground was
gone over and the best interests
Of all parties concerned were
considered.
The following facts regarding
the proportions of the new mill
are taken from the Daily Sun OF
Thursday:
THE NEW MILL.
The new mill will be Erwin
No. A. The first mill was located
here. Then came Erwin No. 2,
at Duke and Erwin No. 3 at
Cooleemee. Now comes the
fourth mill Of the series and Dur
ham gets it. 1t will be greater
than any Of the sister mills and
will be in fact a larger mill than
any in the State and probably in
this section of the South.
The decision of the directors
came 50 late that only an outline
can be given. 1t viii be a mill
of5O.OOO spindIes with looms tc
weave the product into gray
cloth. There are, it is under
stood, to be two buildings. One
will be a single story building
nine hundred feet in length and
the second will be a two story
building five hundred feet long.
The entire plant wilp cost In
round figures about a million
dollars.
The new mill is to be located
on the north side of the railroad
and west Of Erwin No. |. The
front will be on line with the OLD
mill.
GREAT INDUSTRY FOR DURHAM.
The fact that it is to be a greal
industry for Durham is apparent
to every one. 1t was told the
reporter today that the new mil
would add pay roll Of $1,000
per day to the working people
and from another source 1t u
said that the additional pay rol
will be not less than $4,000 pei
week. Recent statistics, SO
prominent financier said today
showed that Durham's week.,
pay roll was s7O.cO0. The new
mill will make it an even $50, 600
Some idea of the new mill car
be obtained from the Statement
that it will be twice as large a
the old Erwin mill and will hav'
three thousand more spindle
than there are in the largest mil
in Greensboro.
No one can figure just hov
much good will result to Durham
and Durham people on accoun
Of this mill. The turning loos'
ofslO, 1000 additional money ever.
Saturday night means q grea
thing for the entire county am
section.

Remarkable Fact That tsnor ana Melancholy Seem Fond Of Each

Too often humor and melancholy go together. They keep company like girl who likes to dance, and fellow who writes nice, gloomy poetry. They get tied together, but they don't hitch, They sympathize like oil and water not. They tell us that some of the newspaper humorists, who actually make people laugh, are sometimes very glum and melancholy at home, and can't see joke any quicker than anybody else. when it's on themselves.

MINES WORKING MORE MEN IN
 TOMBSTONE

While misfortune has overtaken The big mining enterprise al Tombstone no one acquainted with the lower lev els of the big shaft and with the en- ergy and determination of Frank Mug phy, E. B. Gage and W. F. Staunton will question the full success of these men in overcoming every obstacle ani putting Tombstone back among the important producing camps of the southwest. New pumps of the re- quired capacity have been ordered, and their delivery may be expected within three months, when the water will be lowered to the bottcm of the shaft then the work of extracting ore will be resumed.
 A gentleman on the train returning from California this week. who has been connected with the big Tomb stone company for three years, gave 1t as his opinion that the mines are in better condition today than ever before. Important ore bodies had just been encountered prior to the drowning of the lower pumps. and when these pumps are recovered and put in action again this gentleman is of the opinion that large ore prodlc. ton will follow.

 The short suspension of work. due to the walkout of last week, will not hold back to the work to any extent, as the gang will push the work ahead as rapidly as possible.
 The striking Mexicans, after having refused to continue in the employ of the company, also declined to give up the section houses, south Of town, ia which they were quartered. After being ordered out several times the men were informed they would be arrested unless they vacat ed the premises at once. It was ex rected that the houses would be "a cated this morning.

Let Him Stay a Man.

A man soon gets mighty tired of treating his wife like goddess.

4 Difficult Questio. ..

How do you know that you are not crazy?" was asked the accused in a Iunacy investigation a day or two ago. A prize might well be offered for a convincing answer to the ques- ton from ones personal knowledge. Lombroso and other eminent alienists have held that there is a taint of in sanity upon some subject in every hu- man mind; that no mind is absolutely and correctly balanced. No man sane upon several subjects will admit that he is crazy at all How, as a matter of fact, does any man know. of his own knowledge, that he is not insane? ? Savannah News.

France Plans Big Undertaking.

France is considering an enormous hydro-electric undertaking. The plan is to dam the Rbone. below the rapids, some thirteen miles from the Swiss frontier, and utilize the water in a fall of 230 feet The entire upper valley of the Rhone would thus be formed into . long, narrow lake. The plant would generate 24o.ooo kilowatts. half of which would be transmitted to Paris. about two hundred and eighty miles distant, at a tension of 120.0oo volts. It is estimated that this work would cost about sixteen million dol lars and could be completed in seven years time.
