FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1915.

that the men went to the county dis
Wednesday morning in an automobile
driven by Moffatt Mcknight, also Of
the Hickory Grove community. Police
man baltimore, who was attending
court in Yorkvllle, received intelli-
gence upon his return to Hickory
Grove Wednesday evening, that GER
tain parties had gone to Union after
whisky and would return to Hickory
Grove some time that night. The
policeman Immediately got on the
watch and when the car arrived In
town, promptly stopped the machine
and seized the liquor The parties
ing the owners Of the contraband
whisky, allege that part Of the liquor
is their property, while the great ma
jority belongs to friends Of theirs and
that they were bringing it from
Union to Hickory Grove merely as a
matter Of accommodation to their
friends
Take Pride in their Work.
I'VE have one Of the best and
cleanest mills, and as good help as Is
to be found anywhere in the state"
said an employe Of the Victoria cot
ton mill In Rock Hill, to representa-
tive Of The Enquirer few days ago.
I'VE are treated right in our miIi,-
the management Is interested in /us
and we are interested in the man
agement. Every man and woman in
the mill seems to take q pride IN do
ing the best work possible, and in
seeing that there Is no unnecessary
waste Of material, breakage Of ma
chinery or accumulation Of dirt. Ex-
actly why this is the case, I cannot
say, unless 1t Is because the manage
ment has made US believe 1t Is inter-
ested in US and we can do no less
ment. Last Christmas Mr.. Roddey
distributed $500 amongst US. He said
he made the distribution not exact
ly as a gift but rather by way Of re-
turning something that he knew we
had earned, by taking care Of the
little things about the mill. He gave
US to understand that he was giving
US back q part Of what we had saved
for him. Then he went on to say that
next Christmas he would make anoth-
er distribution Of money amounting to
not less than $500. and maybe $1,000,
dependent upon what he might feel
was coming to US on the same basis.
While everybody appreciated the gift
very mucn, naruly tnink Indt any
body has considered 1t as other than
a nice expression Of good will, and
do not think anybody is looking for
ward with any special greed for
another distribution. We just don't
look at 1t that way But 1t Is q fact
that as careful as most Of us were to
save things and work to the interest
Of the management, before Mr.. Rod
dey's talk; we have been still more
careful since That Is generally ad-
mitted. Now, where only part Of the
help was careful about these things,
everybody is careful Where some are
thoughtlessly wasteful, there Is al
ways somebody to remind them Of 1t
and the spirit Of taking care Of things
and helping to perfect the output as
to both quality and quantity at the
least expense, is general. The help at
our mill does not feel stuck up or any
thing like that; but we all feel that we
have good people to work with and
good people to work for, and more
than that, we feel that cotton mill
operatives, where they want to be,
are just as good as anybody, and a
whole lot better than some people"
