Washington, Feb. 5-The fight over
the s125,0OO bill, for Confederate ma
val monument in the Vicksburg Ma
tional Military park, which caused Wig
orous debate at the recent extra ses-
sion of congress, was renewed III the
senate today. Senator Williams, OF
Mississippi, its author, urged action.
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, vigorous
ly opposed it and in the end his OBJ

Senator Williams said that the mon

chairman of the Vicksburg commits

chain of newspapers. A glance at the
map gives some idea of the enormous
growth of the II Southern States of
which Atlanta is the axis.
Few people realize that there are
100000 people in Atlanta; 100000 in
Birmingham, Ala; $4,000 in Jackson
vile; 100000 in New Orleans; 1885,
900 in Nashville, not to speak of Mem
phis, Chattanooga, Savannah, Mobile,
Little Rock, Raleigh, Charlotte, Co.
lumbia, Richmond, Louisville, Jack
son and countless other metropolitan
cities that cover this section. The
South is a very rich country agricul-
turally. It's principal product-cotton
clothes the world. The value of the
cotton the South exports to foreign
countries, each year is alone greater
than the annual production of gold in
the whole world.
"The Georgian is one of the widest
read dailies in the States and from its
beginning has been famous for it's in
dependence and its successful. fights
for humanity. No changes are neces-
sary in it's character and habit to
make it a member of the Hearst fam
lily of newspapers"

8. Mower, I. H. Hunt, Jno. M. Kinard,
F. N. Martin, W. H. Hunt.
A unique and appropriate feature of
the starting of the mill on Thursday
morning was the feeding OF the first
cotton into the machinery by the wives
of the officers and directors of the mill.
When the first bale had been open
ed, the wives of the officers and di-
rectors fed the first cotton, and then
their lady friends fed into the maclin-
cry the balance of the bale. When the
cotton had gone through the suction
fue to the third floor, into the picker
room, it was put into the machines by
Ernest Digby, son of T. J. Digby, the
superintendent; Jno. M. Kinard, Ir.,
son of Jno. NJ. Kinard, vice president,
and George and Foster Martin, soas Of
Secretary Foster N. Martin.
The mill starts out under most aus
picious circumstances, and NeWberry
is proud of it.
This gives Newberry county four
big mills, three in and around the
city, and one at Whitmire.
The subordinate officers of the mill,
in addition to superintendent T. j.
Digby, mentioned above, are:
Superintendent weave room-Clif-
ford Barnes.
Superintendent card room-W. H.
Jones.
Superintendent spinning ROOM.
P. Thompson.
Superintendent cloth room-C. E.
Rikard.
Master mechanic and electrician
D. c.. Leonard.
Outside overseer-L. A. Land.
Among those present at the starting
of the mill on Thursday morning were
a large number of ladies.
