THE FIRST COTTON MILL.

LIT. HeCaa Steam Cotton Mill, rs.
tablished Prior to 1880; Was
One Of First-Alamance Mills
Third.
While Lexington is q great deal
more interested in the cotton mills
OF the present and immediate flu
ture than In those of the past, it
is always worth while to KEEP track
of the past. The Charlotte Obser-
yer a few days ago had an edito-
rial stating that it was probable
that the first cotton mill in the
state was the Alamance Mills. Mr..
r. L. Tate, who happened to have
in his possession the facts, sets the
Observer right in the following:
Noting an editorial in yester-
days Observer headed 'tFhe First
Cotton Factory" in which you
say: ut is probable that the first
mill i'm the south was the Ala
nance Mills In Alamance coun-
ty,'s1 beg to say that you are in
correct. The first cotton mill in
North Carolina and one of the
first in the south was the Mt. Hec-
Is Steam Cotton Mill at Green's
boro which was built at Greens
boro several years ago prior to
1880 by Henry Humphreys who
was my great-grandfather. It was
at this mill that E. M. Holt, the
founder of the Alamance Mills,
learned the business and after
wards established the Alamance
Mills about 1882. This statement
is confirmed by Col. E. M. Holt.
The Mt. Hecla Mill was success
fully operated up to 1850 when
the machinery was moved on wag-
ons to Mountain Island, CASTOR
county by my grandfather, the
late Thomas R Tate, where it was
operated all through the civil war
on goods for the confederate army.
As a matter of fact, however,
there was an old mill in Lincoln
county which antedated all the
mills which you mention, and the
first cotton mill in the south is
said to have been located near
Washington, Ga, as far back as
1912 or IA. OF course all this is
only of Importance by way of
keeping history straight, which /
take it you are always anxious to
do.

oupRENcY MEASURE PRE-
SCENTED TO G

uouse Immediately Referred Bill
to Committee-Request That
BANKERS be Given Representa-
zion on Board Of Control De-
MED.
washington, June 26.-The adj
m~inistration currency bill was
I.upched on the troubled seas of
foo;slative consideration today
%Sen it was introduced in the
,onate by Senator Owen, and in
tSo house by Representative Glass,
The banking and currency commit
700 chairmen. The house imme-
Sistely referred the measure to
The banking and currency commit
tee and preparations were made
for the committee to begin its de-
liberations tomorrow.
Several changes had been made
IN the bill as the result of the
numerous conferences in which
President Wilson, Democrats of
the house and senate committees,
treasury department officials and
committees of bankers took part
following the publication of the
proposed measure several days
ago. The changes embodied some
Of the suggestions made by those
interested in the legislation.
However, despite earnest ap-
peals that the federal reserve
board to control the proposed cur
rency system be increased and
that the bankers be given repre-
sentation,no change In this proyi-
sion was made. The board will
consist of seven men to be appoint
ed by the President, In the SEN
ate, Senator Cummins contem=
plates proposing an amendment
which would make the board an
elective body.
Retire Present Bank Notes.
Reinserted in the bill was the
original proposition for retiring
the present bank notes within 20
years and the substitution of addi-
tional federal reserve notes for
them. This eliminates the pro-
posed limit Of $500, 000, 900 in re-
serve notes contained in the bill
as originally made public. In re-
placing the bank notes the govern
ment two per cent bonds, upon
which they are now issued, would
be refunded by three per cent
bonds, without the circulation
privilege.
Chairman Glass made prepare

Of the bill by the house commit

through the house of two resolu-
tons to facilitate the work. One
provided for the printing and dis
tribution of $4,000 copies of the

Washington, (Special,)-The
franking privilege, which costs
the government millions of dol

Kenyon.
Official stamps would be issued
to government officials, who would
be required to give strict account
of their use.

"BIG STICK" FOR WILSON.

Desire to Arm President With
Power TO Enforce C~ounteryail-
ing Tariff Rate Against Nations
Refusing to Deal With This
Country on Reciprocal Basis.
Washington, June 26.-Urgent
desire to arm the President with q
tariff "big stick" one of strong
er and greater proportions than
provided In the amendment sug-
Gested by the finance committee
majority, developed today in the
Democratic caucus Of the senate
on the tariff bill.
Discussion OF the proposed
countervailing duty on wheat and
flour, which the committee econ
mended, led to q general debate
On retaliatory and ,eountervailing
tariff rates, and Senator Hoke
Smith, Of Georgia, urgently pro-
posed the adoption of an amend
ment that would give ePresident
power to enforce countervailing
tariff rates on all commodities of
commerce against any nation re-
fusing to deal with the United
States on a reciprocal tariff basis.
The amendment proposed would,
In many respects, take the place
OF the maximum and minimum
clause of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, but Senator Smith advocated
a provision that would be broader
than that, one that would give the
President the authority at any
time to interpose against any ma
ton which might discriminate
against the products of the United
States the same tariff rates exact
ed on American goods. Such a
clause in the tariff bill, it was
argued, would place the United
States in a position to defend the
country against and unreciprocal
action or attempt to shut off It's
foreign trade.
Discussion of the proposal was
spirited, strong opposition devel-
oping at once Among the sena-
tors who attacked the idea we're
O'Gorman, Reed and MARITIME. De-
bate was waxing warm when the
caucus was forced to recess for
the afternoon session of the SEN
ate, and it was resumed tonight.
The amendment recommended by
the committee is not a c~ountervail-
providing only that the President
should proclaim certain fixed
rates against foreign nations on a
limited number Of specified COM
modities in cases of discrimination
against this country. This Sena-
tor Smith and others did not re-
gard as comprehensive enough.
After the battle over free sugar
and free wool had been won yes
terday by the administration
forces senators opposed to the
schedules approved renewed their
activities for an amendment which
would extend the time when the
sugar and wool schedules are to
become effective after the passage
of the act. Senator Ransdell has
an amendment to extend the date
of the sugar schedule until Feb
ruary 1, 1914, permitting sugar
planters and refners to get rid of
this years crop without the bur-
den of the decreased tariff. This
las been referred to the majority
of the finance committee for con-
sideration. The committee will
recommend some form of amend
ment later to the caucus. Other
! suggestions propose to suspend
the operation of the sugar duties
for three months after the passage
Of the bill, and that the rates on
manufactures of wool be made
effective go days and the free raw
provision go after enactment of
the law.
