HERE AND THERE

Here and There took trip into the
Forest Hill section Of Bethel township
last Friday. and such corn crops it
seemed that the like had never been
seen before. This is especially true of
the young corn, which is moving right
along as though the weather has not
yet given 1t an uneasy moment.
How would you like to have cat
that can play piano." was the start
ling question put to Here and There by
a Southern railway engineer = few
days ago. II have that kind of 4 cat
and would like to give ii to you. IT
Is sure some cat" Asked to explain.
the engineer said that few mornings
ago about 4 o'clock, something walked
him and his wife. They listened and
then his wife said. THAT sounds like
somebody playing thu piano" 1T Is
somebody playing the piano" replied
the engineer. Just be quiet and see V
we hear 1t again" Shortly afterwards
they heard it again and Mr.. Engin' er
said ne was going to investigate. His
wife told him, NO. call Mr. -, and
let him go see what 1t is." Il got UP
and walked Mr.. -, and "" went
down together" said Mr.. I'm sineer. Il
didn't have any gun. so / picked up a
poker and going easily down the stail $
snapped on the electric light. We
couldn't see or hear anything and we
made a search Of the hou5e'and could
find no windows or doors unfastcncd.
Then We found the 80 and figured ii
out that as the piano sat between two
windows and the moon was shining
through one. the cat had jumped up
on one end in an effort to get
through the window and failing at ono
window, II walked across the piano
keyboard to the other window and
made the piano playing we heard.
Yes. would like to give you that
cat"
In a. speech at Nanny's mountain
last Friday, John r. Hart made the
statement that Col. William Hill there
organized thirteen men into the first
opposition against Tory ascendancy in
upper South Carolina, and that Mr.. w.
ID. Grist Of Yorkville, has q cannon
that was cast at Hills old iron works,
and used against the British. 1t Is one
of the first cannon that was cast with
in the present limits Of the United
States.
The Hawthorn Spinning mill at
Clover Is one Of the most ideal mills in
the south. AS a matter Of fact it Is not
surpassed by any mill in the United
States in construction. equipment or
perfection Of working conditions. The
comfort and conveniences are marvel
GUS. It is a delightful place to be.
either in winter or summer. The ven-
tiIation Is perfect and the humidity is
exactly what 1t ought to be. Even the
wealthiest people of the large cities
are no more comfortable in their
homes than are the operatives Of the
Hawthorn mills at their spindles
Here and There spent brief while go
ing through this splendid plant a few
days ago. and he was more than de-
lighted with what he saw, especially
the happy, contented workers, turning
out immense quantities Of the finest
cotton yarns that are TO be found In the
world. The Hawthorn was built orig
inally for the manufacture of fine
warns for ladies' fancy work-crochet-
ing, tatting. knitting and the like.
America went into the war shortly aft
erward, and these products went large
w into the discard: but that did not
have any permanent effect on the
hawthorne. The machinery was
changed for the making Of the various
kinds of yarns required by the govefn-
ment for war purposes, and now the
mill is turning out thousands and

used exclusively for the manufacture
of machine gun cartridge belts. For.
merely nothing but linen would do for
these belts; but the Hawthorn is con-
yerting IS cents q pound sea island
cotton into a yarn that answers the
