longer connected with the mill, but
has large farming interests just across
the river in Union county.
The mill is now under the manage
ment of Mr.. E. E. Child, one of the
best business men hereabout, and is
prospering and making money for the
shareholders and does not owe any,
body anything. And President Child
is looking after the comfort and in1
terest of the people whose labor makes
the money for the shareholders. And
that is the right spirit, and as a mill
man told me once it is not only the
right spirit but it pays.

About his tax budget proposition we

mentioning the fine school which the
town supports. 1t is one of the best
high schools in the State and now has
one of the best superintendents III
Miss billiard. I am proud of this
school because I feel that I have a
right to some of the credit Off its
establishment and organization into
a hioh. school and for the enlargement
Of the handsome building.
What I started out to write about
more particularly at this time is the
new movement which the mill man.
agement under President Child is now
launching, and that is the Glen-Layry
Young Mems Christian Association,
and l might say young women's asso-
citation as well, because provision is
being made to look after the welfare
! and pleasure of the young women as
well as the young men. The company
is fitting up handsome rooms for the
association and they will be equipped
with reading rooms with the latest
magazines and periodicals and there
will be games of amusement and lee
lures and then there is moving pic
ture show two or three times a week,
all for the education amusement and
entertainment of the people who work
at the mill. And the mill authorities
have employd regular secretary to
look after the organization and work
of the association And has been for.
tunate in securing Mr.. c. B. Hanna,
who was superintendent of the schools,
but resigned about year ago to en-
list in the association work in con-
nection with the army, and has had
special training in the work, and Is
fine gentleman.
There is also connected with the as
sociation bath rooms with hot and cold
water and shower baths, and every
thing you can think of to make the
place attractive 1t is the purpose @
President Child and those associated
with him in the management Of the
mill to do everything possible for the
elevation and education Of the help
