door.

At MADISON
VIII Employ 100 People;
Repairs Are Being Made
on Plant

MARSHALL, Jan. rs. (SpeciaD
Announcement is made Henry f..
Erwin of Brevard, that the Madi-
son cotton mill will begin opera
tions on February ID, employing
one hundred people.
Between twenty-five and thirty
men are now at work in the mill,
making necessary repairs and get
ting machinery in shape for start
ing the community's largest indus
trial plant. Mr.. Erwin will be
superintendent of the plant, and
is directing the repairs now under
way.
While no announcement has
been made as to other people in
terested in the mill with Mr.. En-
win, it is known that eastern cap
ital is backing the project, and
that a market has already been
established for shipping the yarn
as soon as it can be produced. APP
plication for charter has been
made, the concern to be known as
Madison Mills, Inc.
While the plant has not been in
operation since 1926, the machin-
cry is said to be in excellent con-
dition and very little actual repair
work is necessary other than a
general cleanup and alignment.
With 97OO spindles, the mill will
use from forty to fifty bales of
staple cotton per week, making
fine combed yarns for knitting
and weaving, and speciality yarns.
The plant will be operated by
water power, using the French
Broad river as basis, a dam al
ready having been in use for this
purpose. Between four and five
hundred horse power will be
necessary for pulling the machin-
cry, the direct water wheel power
! of the plant being able to more
than double this capacity. Elec-
trio lighting current will alse be
generated, this being furnished
direct from plant owned dynamos
to the mill.
Superintendent Erwin is a mill
man of note, having been connect
ed with the Brevard cotton mills
for six or seven years and prior
to that time was in charge of the
Green River mills in Henderson
county for Is years.
The new superintendent has an
nounced that Madison county la
Dor will be used insofar as pos
sible, it being one of his policies
to use local labor wherever pos
sible, ..-.

ROtarians Hear
Address on Law

In its regular session at the
Skyland hotel today, the Rotary
club heard w. NJ. Toomer, retired
lawyer of Jacksonville, Fla, who
has recently made his home near
Naples.
Mr.. Toomer told the club that
the constitution of the United
States was the greatest document
of government ever written. Not
one part of it has ever been re-
pealed since it was written, he
said, and he further declared that
the only danger to the constitu-
ton was the delegation of powers
reserved to the three branches of
government, by these powers.
The judiciary, he said, has new
err done this but the legislative de-
partment has shown this inclina-
ton in recent years. For example
he pointed to the flexible provi-
sion Of the tariff bill, which allow
ed the president to change tariff
schedules.
This he characterized as a dele
CATION to one man of the power
of taxing, which was expressly
given to the lower house of the
legislative department by the con-
stitution.
With Mr.. Toomer at the meet
ing was his son, Jack Toomer.
