SHORTAGES HOLDING
UP BUILDING WORK
OF CONTRACTORS

Shortage Of labor, delay in ship
ments of equipment and bad weather
have united in delaying construction
Of several buildings in Richmond.
Active operations in the new fac.
tory building of the Adam H. Bartel
company on South Eighth and B
streets, will not be started until Aug
1, according to A. H. Bartel. president.
Exterior construction has been com.
pleted. Interior construction and in
stallation Of machinery and other
equipment prevents operation.
The railroad strike and delays in
shipping have slightly halted other
buildings. The first heat" in the new
foundry building of the Swayne-Rob-
1nson company has been delayed be-
cause of non-arrival of important
equipment. The Hines Dairy build
ing on South Sixth street, is also held
up.
Garage Walls Built.
Outer walls on the Manlove and
Wilson garage on South Seventh street
have been built. Contractors in charge
will not predict how soon building
wilf be completed. Work on the
Rooney furniture building on Main
street is behind schedule. Labor short
age and difficulty of obtaining mate
rails are causes.
Rapid progress is being made on the
Webb-Coleman garage on North Ninth
street. A huge steam shovel is being
used for excavation work The Hoff-
man Construction company has charge
of the work. This construction COM
pany is the same that is building the
Rooney building and which has built
the Steinhart building on North Tenth.

from Professor Long but his inter-

Governor Cooper and Senator Chris

Clemson college and kindred activl-

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance Of my dear
sister, Cora Mayer, Who departed
this life June 16, 1919.
Just one year ago today, dear Cora,
AS always, our innermost thoughts
were with you,
The wires rang with that sad mes
sage,
Critically, come at once.
Oh! how it touched US to think
Of you among strangers
No loved ones near.
How I longed to go to you,
No one can ever know.
But God who knoweth best
Willed it should be otherwise
So here I lay through all that lone
some might
Praying, yes silently praying, for
strength
That I might tighten the hearts OF
others.
:, 7
So God strengthened and kept me
On this earth for a time longer
But you he took to heaven
Where there are no sadness or fare
wells,
There to await Our coming
Where there are no sin and trouble,
Only happiness and love.
Since you left us, dear Cora,
Our home is quite another place.
We meet, but how we miss you.
Miss your JOY and your smiles
But we would not bring you back to
suffer
Again the toll and pain.
Sleep on, dear Cora,
Clothed in Gods pure love,
Some day we will meet you
In the happy home above.
-Aurelia Mayer.

The Same Old Way.

A little boy stands by his grandsires S
knee
And listens with wonder and awe,
His youthful heart is filled with
pride,
AS he hears the sad story of war.
The veteran tells of bloody deeds
When he battled and strove for the
right,
When he wore the gray so dear to
his heart
And his dim old eyes grew bright.
He tells of the days at Gettysburg
When he stood with Jackson and lee,
And the tale he tells is ever new
To the lad who stands by his knee.
He shows him a coat with an empty
sleeve
Which he wears on memorial day,
And the cross he prizes more than
gold
Worn only by brave men in gray.
My other grandpa was there you
know,
But he wasn't dressed in gray,
His clothes were blue with buttons
bright,
But he fought the same old way.
We both were there on the battle
field,
Each thought his cause was the
right.
He wore the blue, and the gray
And we fought with all our might.
Anna Pearsall.
