Sunday afternoon, the party went,
immediately over to the plant of
the Cos., where every thing was
found tube in apple-pie order. The
Charleston plant was a reveala
lion. They found here a factory
with forty thousand square feet
•of floor space, with every con
venience and modern appliance
mown to the overall trade. The
government, it was found, provid
ed this plant with a rest room,
hospital room, shower baths, danc

taurant, and in fact had fitted the
plant lip wifh no regard to ex
pense. As Mr. Williams expresses
it, they found the plant was the
last word in overall factories.
After lunch at one of the lead

vits given an automobile trip over
the city and out to the new dock
terminals of the government by
rho superintendent or the Charles

visiting fhr Charleston Navy
Vartl, and looking over the Bell
plant. The operator were found
to be very neat, and the work was
of the very best. In fact, anrmng
The operators were* young ladies
from some rf the oldest and most
aristocratic fami is of Charleston,
all of whom had had years of ex
perience with the United States
Government. The committee ex
pressed themselves as agreeably
surprised with the plant and its
I'ssibilities. The committee was
also entertained by the Chamber
of Commerce, and Mr. E. H.
Pringle, Jr., a leading banker of
the town, and Mr. Gordon Mc-
Cabe, Jr., who is said to be one of

leston, and of South Carolina.
The return trip to "Winder was
idso very much enjoyed, and all
returned full of enthusiasm and
praise of the Charleston plant.
