INDIGO PLANT FOR ROCK HILL.

Mill men and others throughout this
territory will be interested to learn
that Mr.. Hamilton Carhartt, a well
known manufacturer of overalls with
big plants at various points through
out the country, is preparing to install
in connection with his mill at Rock
Hill, s. c., an indigo plant
1t will be perhaps the only plant
of its kind in this country, and will
go far toward solving the vexed dive
situation which the European war has
brought about. The Rock Hill plant
will operate to grind the vegetable
indigo as grown in India, arrange
ments from which has been made fol
shipping to this country. The cost of
tie vegetable product will be about
So pound, as against cheaper rate
formerly paid for German dyes, but
1t is going to demonstrate that indigo
dyes can be made in this country Just
as good-if not quite as cheap, per-
haps, at first-as in any country.
In card to Manager Partridge, o,
the Atlanta factory, Mr.. Carhartt re-
Gently stated that "the English gov
ernment has allowed certain guam
tity of the vegetable indigo to be
shipped into the United States under
signed agreement with importers
that this indigo shall not be exported
to any nations at war with her."
Manager Partridge declares. ac-
cording to The Atlanta Constitution,
that the new brown overall-the Van
dyke brown-put out by them several
weeks ago, is proving very popular,
but the move on the part of Mr.. Car
hartt to operate his own indigo plant
at Rock Hill is done in order to ac-
commodate in the future buyers who
may insist upon the old and original
color of overall material. The plant
will be in operation within the next
few months.-Charlotte Observer,

THE STARTLING FIGURES
OF AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS.

Some startling figures on the size
and continued growth of the automo-
bile business of America are shown in
the figures given out by Alfret,
Reeves, general manager of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. The production for 1914 was
1O3,527 cars valued at wholesale at
1928 3,463, 3,903, which is an advance of
36 per cent in the number of cases and
more than 10 per cent in value over
the previous II months.
South Carolina reports a total of
10000 cars for 1914. New York leads
with 185,767.
The effect of the growth of the auto
mobile business on other lines of
industry are striking. The amount of
cotton used is of peculiar interest in
this section. Here are the figures on
some items
11,4O5,25O yards of top materials
and lings, value, approximately, ST.
447, 7,7SO.
1850 tons manufactured cotton,
used in the cases of automobile tires
(on new cars only).
100000 pounds sheet celluloid.
1888 tons rubber and compound
2,446,7S0 pairs of hinges.
2,446,780 door catch fittings.
4S9,356 square yards carpet for ton
neau.
642,908 square yards linoleum for
running boards and toe boards.
S,450,850 board feet manufactured
hickory and other woods for floors,
top bows, etc.
"All these materials have to be and
are largely fabricated by manufac-
turers who supply the automobile con-
cerns," says Mr.. Griffin, "and a few
moments reflection will show the en-
ornous army of workers employed in
putting this material into usuable
shape.
One of the phenomenal features ap-
parent to anyone analyzing the regis
tration statistics for the past two
years is the gain made by the states
whose populations are for the most
part devoted to agriculture. These
growing statistics serve to emphasize
the reports to the effect that farmers
throughout the country, and especially
throughout the grain belt of the Mid
die West, have been buying cars in
constantly growing numbers and are
still buying them.-Greenwood Index

NIGHTFALL.

Nightfall and home and you!
Across the west the heavy shadows
lie,
Shutting from out my heart the long,
long day
The empty day that held no speech
with you
Who once did walk with me beside
the way.
Nightfall and home and you.
o, blessed dusk that holds, little
while,
Forgetfulness of all the world
outside!
What care we for it's little hurt and
jar?
A vine-wreathed door we know
stands open wide.
Nightfall and home and you.
One red star hangs above the wood
ed hills,
Guiding my eager feet along the
way
To home and love and-you. Dear
heart, dear heart,
What more has life to give at close
of day.?

COURT HOUSE BONDS
SHOWED UNDER.

pecially Don't Want a $25O,O00
Court House Building
The Results.

Bonds to the amount of $250,00C
for the proposed court house fol
GuilfOrd county. were voted down
by an overwhelming majority in
Tuesdays election. Only 932 voted
for it throughout the entire county
while 1887 of those registered voted
against it Cor failed to vote which is
the same as voting against IT'D out
of the 18 precincts heard from yes
terday. There were 1887 registered
in the Is precincts altogether. In
Greensboro the four precincts showed
1,19O registered. 47O voted for and
161 against the measure. In the
three precincts in High Point 1887
were registered; II voted for and
424 against. Rural precincts, Prox-
unity, White Oak, South Morehead,
Pleasant Garden, Sumner, Friend
ship, South Madison, Clay Center
Grove, and North and South
jefferson there were /, $40 registered;
Ais voted for and 341 against. Grand
total against S17; total vote for 932;;
total vote against 1887; majority
against 2,123.
Of course the weather was against
the people voting, but had it been a
perfect June day the bonds would
have been defeated just the same,
about as bad in High Point as they
were.
Says the Greensboro News:
High Point doesn't want q court
house for Guilford county costing
s25O,0OO and incorporating the office
features; and neither does Green's
horo or any other part of the coun-
ty, for that matter. The point is
that High Point showed very con-
clusively yesterday that the plan of
the county commissioners does not
meet with approval. 1t was mighty
wet day, though, and maybe High
Point was peeved. Maybe the whole
county was. The indications point
strongly in~ that direction. At any
rate, barring all extenuating circum-
stances, the bond issue is a lost
cause" All the precincts of Green's
boro and high Point and six outly-
ing precincts had been heard from
last night; and the majority against
the issue amounted to just 2, 123.' -
Whatever you call it, High Point
was decidedly opposed to the bonds
and would be again.
And we might add, as before
stated in these columns, it would
perhaps pay Greensboro to look with
a little more favor on High Point ;
interpret this as one pleases.
