SHOE FACTORY.
Operations Resumed This Week I'M
der Favorable Conditions.

Operations Resumed This Week Un-
der Favorable Conditions.
Operations at the Ellsw orth shoe factory
were resumed yesterday, under favora BILE
conditions, and with the outlook most en-
couraging for rapidly increasing busi
ness.
The company has been reorganized un-
der the name of the Ault- Williamson Shoe
Co., which succeeds the Russell Shoe Co.
MIR. Russell remains with the company; in
fact, it was through him, or rather, be-
cause of him and his known ability as
shoe manufacturer, that the new men be-
came interested.
The officers of the reorganized company
are G. r. Williamson, president; P. B.
Russell, ce-president and superinten-
dent; Charles Ault, treasurer.
Messrs. Williamson and Ault come to
Ellis worth from the Lunn & Sweet Shoe
Co., of Auburn, with which Mr. Russell
was formerly connected. Mr.. Ault has
been connected with the sales department
at the factory, and Mr.. Williamson has
been the northwestern representative of
the factory. Both have large acquain-
tance in the shoe trade. They know the
class OF shoes Mr.. Russell turns out; they
have sold them, and they know what their
customers think of the Russo u-made shoe.
They saw here proposition that looked
good to them as practical shoe men;
so good that they decided to put their
money and their time into it.
Mr.. Williamson will be the outside man.
Mr.. Ault will make his home in Els
worth. With these two men looking
after the sales and business end of the
business, and Mr.. Russell looking after
the manufacturing end, the prospects for
the building up here of large business
are bright indeed.
The factory will soon be working to its
full capacity, and the company is already
making plans for increasing the capacity
OF the plant.
Ellsworth welcomes the new men into
the community. The city will share in
the success which they may achieve, and,
not unselfishly, hopes that their success
may exceed their greatest expectations.

SEEK PROF. HANDS RELEASE
Prominent Educators Go Before the
Anderson College Trustees.

Anderson, March THE board OF
trustees of Anderson college this af-
ternoon declined to accede to the re-
quest made by a delegation of educa-
tors that this college release Prof
William H. Hand from his acceptance
of the presidency. The delegation was
composed of State Superintendent
Swearingen, Prof W. K. Tate, Super
intendent Gunter, of Rock Hill; Su-
perintendent Anderson, of Newberry,
and Prof. Wardlaw, of the University.
These gentlemen declared that they
had come on their own initiative and
not from Prof. Hand to ask for the re-
lease in the interest Of the education
al system of South Carolina.
They stated that Prof. Hand is con-
sidered the greatest high school in
spector in the South, and that the
general education board in New York
had appropriated more money In order
to retain him.
The trustees took the visitors over
the college plant and convinced them
that Anderson college is destined for
big things and that it is going to do a
big work for South Carolina Before
leaving the city the members Of the
delegation, while regretting that they
had not accomplished their mission,
declared that their visit mere had
opened their eyes as to the scope of
the college, and that they now ap-
preciate the great possibilities for the
institution. They declared that Presi-
dent Hand is the right man to head
the college. Prof. Hand will come to
Anderson to take up duties July 1.
