He did all the piping, both the hydrant and the sprinkler system. This mill has been due of THE CIIIEK FACTORS in the growth and development of the town.

Jt has douewore than any other one enterprise to make Greenwood what she is today. From the time it first began a very small concern operating only 2500 spindles to the present time, 12,000 bales of cotton have been consumed. The new equipment, which will begin oDerations 011 the first of next June will, consume 00 bales ptr annum. 'J he farmers of the community will receive annually for this cotton about $210,000, and by rea son of the local demand thus created they obtain for their cotfon a higher price than it would otherwise be, possible foi thein to get from The mill will employ about 250 hands with an annual pay roll of all of which will be expended with home merchants and will be kept in circulation among the people of Greenwood. The managvrs of tJie mill front the beginning adopted and have always maintained the wise policy of patronizing home people in so lar as they could without injury to themselves; Mechanics and machinists have been employed from among home people whenever it was possible to do so.

Thousands of dollars have been paid to the farmers wf this community for wood instead of being seilt away to fill the colters of the coal barons of the other states. THE MILL BUILDING" is a substautiaVaud well built structure 351 feet long by 76 feet wide and two stories high. InNaddition to this there is an engine roMri boiler room, a picker room and a machine shop all under the same roof. We cannot close this article without paying a special compliment totheen-gi ne room. One might imagine that a room filled with machinery and grease and oil would be, a very uninviting but it is not so In this case.

On the contrary there is not a dca wjng room iu Greenwood that is morelieat or is more tastily cared for than the engine room of this cotton mill. I'- AS AS IX VESTMENT the mill bas been highly satisfactory to tlie stockholders. Semi-annual dividends of 4t per cent, have been paid, and in addition to this, as we liave already said, more than thirty thousand dollars of the earnings of themiil have been exnended In adding to the periua- Meetirig or-Ladlea Missionary Society lat i taeacay la eaeti month. 1 REV. l.q.rQQ ARTY, Paator.

No," sir," be said, "you don't get any gyrascutis" down me today. I want no gyrascutis iu mine. If you have any gyrascutis to spare just put them out on some other lot this one is occupied." Well, I was set back somewhat, to say the least, and began to apologize, but the more I begged the worse she got.

I finally got up, after eatln about a half a dinner, and tried to beat a retreat, but I couuted too asf. She caught hold of my coat tail and swung to it. '-Gyrascustisf Gvraseutis in deed she whooped. "Don't you ever try to give, me any more gyrascusfis. I have heard of gyrascutis all my life.

No one in the party knew any one in Augusta, and they were at a loss how' to proceed. Far from home no money; no friends; what were they to do? They had, though, one fertile brain in the crowd and he set his wits to work, with what results will be better seen hereafter.

After ruminating a while he got up and said, "Boy I have it. We'll get there," (or words to that effect.) After imparting to his fellows his scheme, the party went to a printing office and had' several thousand handbills struckoif.

Cyme early." On the evening of the. time set for the show the long bridge between Au. gusta and Hamburg resounded with the tramp, tramp, tramp, of thousands, and early iii the evening the huge warehouse was filled with an eager and expectant throng. A stage had been erected and curtains put up, and from behind the curtains came the occasion al rattling of chains accompanied by I the most unearthly growls and screams The doorkeeper was as busy as Tie cohld be taking in the money," and when the hoUse was about full, by a preconcerted arrangement he gave the signal to the others behind the scenes. everybody was on the tiptoe of expec tation, there came a terrible din from behind the screens, chairs were knocked about, tables were overturned, chains were dragged over the floor, and such growuug anu snarling was never heard before.

Just at this time, and when the nerve of every one present was at its highest tension, the curtain was torn aside and a man appeared in the opening. His clothing was' in ribbons and he was bloody from bead co neei (tne dioou tiau been procured at a butcher pen). Raising his hands and spreading them out in front of him, he exclaimed, in the most terrify ing manner "My God, people! Save yourselves. The Gyrascutis is loose!" Can't the readers of The Jocrxal guess what followed? Did any of them ever see a herd of stampeded cattle? Some of them, I know, have seen the mal and helter-skelter rush of a routed army. The; may have some conception of what followed." Husbands and wives were separated only to meet at home, sweethearts were sundered; everyone for himself aud the old njck take the hindmost seemed 'to be the rule.

Well, the scare was over after a while and the sell was sorond that no attempt was made to stop thej. perpetrators and they went 011 their way rejoicing.

We doubt if the builders ef any mill ever started to work with more difficulties in their way than did those of this one. When they began work their capital consisted principally, not in gold and silver, but in the energy and ability of the men in charge and in tlieir determination to succeed.

These qualities are good things to have but they won't exchange for brick and mortar and lumber and labor. OHGAXIZATlON OF THE JlILL. The mill was ganized in 839 on the installment plan, with 180,000 subscribed, to be paid by the mouth in four years. The people were then ignorant, of cotton mills, and had little confidence in them as an investment, and there was great difficulty in collecting the' installments. Of the original $80,000 of stock subscribed not more than 65 per cent, was ever paid.

The first hoard of directors of the company consisted of W. L. Durtt, I)r J. C. Maxwell, B.

Milwee, J. T-Simmons, G. A. Barksdale, H. P.

Mc-Gliee, II. B. Reynolds, Capt. Godsey and J. R.

Abney. The directors selected Mr. W. L. Durst as President of the mill and Joel S.

Bailey secretary and treasurer. They have held th-se offices continuously to the present timej and the results of tlieir management of the mill have demonstrated the wisdom of the di-. roftnra in coltf i cr tfitiiik tn fill 1 1 1 fwn fmDortailt positions. These officers and directors began the erection of the buildiug soon after the organization of the company, with practically no money paid in. THE WHISTLK BLOWS.

In June 1891 the mil began operations with an equipment of 2500 spindles and 81 1 00 in and with a capital paid in of only $32,000. In January 1894 the capacity of the mill was doubled and 5,000 spindles and 180 looms were set to work. Additional subscriptions to the stock had been secured, but at this time the capital stock amounted to only $85,000, which was far below the cost of the he remainder was carried by the Bank of Greenwood and by individuals fjiendly to the enterprise. ANOTHER INCREASE. In May 1805 it was determined to again double the capacity of the mill.

With this object in view President Durst went north and explained to his friends there what tlie mill had. been doing and had 11O difficulty in securing of the.nioirey necessary to put in the new machinery. The remaining capital was secured at home. The total stock paid in now amounts to $175,000 and this is all the company desires. Oh this capital the mill will set in motion on June 1st' an equipment, of 10,000 spindles ntitl 300 looms.

The stock of the company, does not represent the. value of their plant. All told the property of the company is worth Considerably more than $200,000. In addition to paying semi-annual dividends of 4 per cent, the company have used more than thirty thousand dollars of tlieir earnings in adding tlieir equipment, thereby deci easing the capitalization and rendering the stock more valuable. In addition to what we have already mentioned, the plant is equipped with all modern appliances and conveniences, some of which are not found at other mills.

Among these is the best machine shop, with the best tools and machinery for making; and repairing parts which money could procure. They have fire proof warehouses and ample room for storing cotton, sWe tracks which connect them with the Southern, the P. R. W. C.

and the C. X. railroads, an electric light plant with a capacity of 500 incandescent lights, a system of automatic sprinklers, and steam heating apparatus of the most approved patterns and of the best makes. They own about eighty acres of real estate, all in the incorporate limits of the town and some of it very valuable. They have a surplus of land that can be sold at a good profit on the Investment.

There are on the grounds filty-flve tenement houses, well built and comfortable and far above the average of mill tenements, occupied by 6ober, industrious and moral operatives. There is a handsome little office buildinjr on the grounds con taining an ofiice each for tire Pres ident, the Superintendent and the bookkeeper, and a fireproof and bur- lar proof vault for the safe keepm of the books and papers of the com pany. There has recently been built, at the expense of the company, a chapel for school purposes, religions entertainments and the reneral pur poses of a village hall.
