her great statesmen who took probably

this country than those of any stogie

William Lowndes Yancey and Col.
Ben C. Yancey were natives of this

himself as a captain In the United

the Cnhaba News. A writer some time

speaking of his oratorical powers, said,
"When he began to speak the angel of
eloquence lit on his shoulder.’' He
was recognized as one of the great
Southern leaders and was a prominent
figure in the Democratic convention at
Charleston and In the proceedings of
the first Confederate congress at Mont

A M del Modern mil.
At Edgefield, that once was the
sleepiest and most antiquated village
Imaginable, strange It la that the idea
of a combination mill, transforming
all the ultimate products of cotton on
the spot should have been perfected,
yet such Is the case. The Edgefield i
Manufacturing Co. ia the first mill in 1
the world to handle seed cotton In all
the various stages of manufacture,
from ginning, p easing the seed, mak
ing oil, cotton seed meal and hulls,
spinning, weaving and finally baling
the cloth.
Thus the expense Is saved of bal
; ing the lint, sampling, bagging and
ties and handling as crudtt cotton.
And thus 5-cant cotton becomes 16-
cent cotton to the community that
adopts this system.
Mr. C. H. Fisher is president, and
S. S. Scssamon superintendent of the
Edgefield Manufacturing Co. The
i plant consists of a ginnery, capacity
! co bales per day, oil mill. 30 tons per
I dav and cotton mill of 3.000 spindles
