NEW MILL COMING.

Yorkville Is to have a new cotton
mill as soon as the necessary plant can
be established. It is to be capitalized
at half million dollars, with approx
imately s450,0O0 paid in. 1t is to be
located on the northern outskirts Of
town, equipped with 10000 spindles,
and known as the "Waltmore."
The pending organization Of the
promised enterprise, now assured, has
grown out Of the efforts Of Major Wal
ter B. Moore, who not long ago pro-
posed that he and associates would put
up s250,000 for the erection Of half
million dollar mill If the people Of
Yorkville and community would put
up the remaining $250,00O. The local
people, people Of the town and sur
rounding country have put up all but q
few thousand of the amount asked Of
them, and Major Moore is going on
with the undertaking.
While the subscriptions of the local
people were still short Of the amount
specified, Major Moore went ahead and
exercised the option he had for the ad-
vantageous purchase Of machinery,
under which option there is saving
of more than $4,000 over present
prices, and also with subscriptions still
coming in he applied for charter
first for a capitalization of $450,000;
but later recalled the original applica-
tion and made 1t 100000.
The proposed new mill is to be To-
Gated on a most excellent site just
without the northern limits Of the
town, which site Major Moore pur-
chased some time ago for the purpose
Of erecting a cotton mill. There are
some important contingencies still to
be settled with regard to the site-one
of them being the approval OF COM
mittee that is to have charge Of the
matter, and another being agreement
on the price; but no complications are
expected to develop, for the reason
that the site in question is one Of the
most desirable in the community and
the price will be matter OF easy ad-
1ustment.
Work on the proposed new mill Is to
be commenced without unnecessary
delay, a. soon n the different con-

The Enquirer:
Clark's Fork, Bullock's Creek and
Turkey Creek were all out Of their
banks last Friday afternoon. Between
Hickory Grove and Sharon there was
no trouble about crossing Clark's Fork
because the bridge was sufficiently
high above the stream as were also the
approaches. In the case Of Bullock's
Creek 1t was different, The bridge was
high enough over the Main stream;
but the water covered the approach on
the east side for about foot. Between
Sharon and Yorkville Turkey Creek
covered the bottoms from hill to hill.
Sure the real estate agent is useful
institution and very contrary to what
is common opinion, is easily worth his
hire. Where a man knows how, 1t is
as easy to make a big transaction as
it is to make a small one; but most
people become more or less f1ustered m
making transactions that are above the
average of those to which they are or
dinarily accustomed, and that Is why
in making a real estate transaction
they are generally at disadvantage.
To the experienced real estate agent a
real estate transaction becomes almost
as natural as is the matter Of selling a
sack of -four by merchant. But 1t Is. a
common thing for the ordinary proper
ty owner who does not know how to
make a good trade himself to envy the
real estate man his commission. The
layman is inclined to look upon that
commission as a pickup, even though
through the help of the real estate
man he gets enough more for his prop
erty than he could have realized him.
self to pay the commission twice over.
Then too, the real estate men very
often make the mistake Of not treating
their commissions with proper consid-
Grafton. Some Of them, especially the
inexperienced ones, are inclined to give
1t away, or divide it, The real estate
man is Just as much entitled to his
commission as is the merchant to his
profit, and he should not give it up or
share 1t, under any circumstances.

True. the collection of libraries and
reading matter for the blind is no
small one. Braille writing requires
special training, special Instruments,
special paper and infinite time. Much
of it is still done by hand, although
the American Printing House for the
Blind receives a government subsidy
of s1o,o 0 annually, a sum that pro-
vides, however, for the printing of
but a comparatively small number of
books, considering the demand.
Recent changes in the system, in
an effort to standardize the English
code have renreded these presses idle,
until new type car be procured. In
the meantime the Red Gross to the res
cue. In Washington classes have been
held weekly at the headquarters of the
Potomac division, while the Chicago
chapter has also conducted a progress
sive class in Braille. This is a labor
of love, if ever there was one, re-
quiring infinite patience and care that
might we'll try the nerves Of the

with their f%inger-tips, is sufficient in
spiration to carry on a task enthus-

direction of Miss Holt, a blind instruc-

1t is the secret ambition of many
who are interested in the future work
Of the Red Cross to see a "Braille

WORK OF PATIENCE
is DONE FOR BLIND

To a blind Frenchman, Louis Braille,
is due credit for the system of raised
writing for the blind now in use over
the world, wherever institutions for
instruction of the blind exist. Revis-
ing and simplifying a code alphabet
of dots, invented by a French artillery
officer in 1900, he brought light to the
blind world and in recognition Of his
service to humanity was awarded the
Order of the Legion of Honor by the
French government. Many changes
have been made in the original system
that have brought it to it's present
perfection and certainly there is no
greater consolation for the blind of
the world today-whose numbers have
been so greatly augmented by the war
than to know that the world of books
is not closed to them, that they can
still divert themselves through the
written word, still explore the fairy
