Echoes of the Augusta Re¬
union:
Mr. Editor: Pleaso allow me a
little your paper to 1
space in say n
few words to thoso old comrades
who failed to meet us at tho re¬
onion in Augusta.
On our nrrival in the city wo
roceivod a very hearty and warm
welcome from the mayor and a
host of friends win rod assem¬
bled in Convention Hull. There
wo met otir grand old chieftan,
General C. II. Evans, with a hap¬
py handshake for all old com¬
rades.
When ull official duties had
been attended to we ropaired to
the mess hall to receivo nourish¬
ment for the inner man. The old
veterans went in a solid mass,
which reminded one somewhat of
General Gordon storming the
heights of Fredricksburg, but in
this case our prize consisted of
coffoo, beef hash and hornet nest.
Aft p r this we were escorted to our
spacious lodging place, where tie-
chamlx i maid had failed in most
cases to make the beds
or put pillows and quilts on them.
Our meals and lodging did not
compare favorably with the ac
oommodationa Bookor Washing-
got at the white houso. However
we feo! grateful to the citizens of
Augusta for tho hospitality shown
us.
In the election for commander
our worthy friend and command¬
er of Camp Willis, James A.
Walker was unanimously chosen
Brigade Commander May he ev¬
er carry out his duties as lie die
cm tho bloody battlefields during
tho sixties.
Home of our old comrades wort*
at a loss to know how long this
love feast would last and secured
meal tickets to lust thorn u week
or ton days.
Lot each of us remember those
of onr departed comrades who an*
Bleeping in unmarked graves with
no epitaph to tell of valient
deeds done for the lost oauso.

A son of tho Into Major Wade
Hampton Gibbs, of Columbia, H.
C., saye that it was his father
who, as a lieutenant, fir»d the
first gun, a signal gun, .t tho at¬
tack, on Fort Sumter, Charleston
Harbor, on tho morning of April
J2, I8G1. lie writes: “At Lieu¬
tenant Gibbs’ battery tho signal
gun was aimed to burst n shell
high in tho air, another gun was
carefully aimed at tho fort; and
the wires were laid to explode a
mino under an old house m the
way. As nearly as possible those
things wore done simultaneously.
Now, which of the throe shots
fired at the fort from th« throe
separate mortar batteries was first
po man can say.”—Charleston

Feminine Duplioity.
A young man visited his girl
west of town on Sunday evening.
After they had talked several
hours he declared his iiitention ot
kissmg her. Sbe was apparently ,
indignant, and said she would tell
her father, But the young muu
was uot dismayed, and finally suc¬
ceeded in kissing her behind the
left ear. To make good her (brent
tlie young woman arose hastily
and went into the next rocm
whero sho found her father and
innocently toid him that Mr
Jones wanted to see his new gun,
The old man was delighted with a
chance to show the gun, and tak-
ing it from the rack he stepped
into ttie parlor. Tho young man
smashed a whole window sash iu j
getting out, and when last seen
was still running bareheaded up
the road in the directiou of town.

The organization of live stock
clubs in Georgia emphasize the
growing interest in cattle, psrtic-1
u la r Fy. As tt pource of revenue |
cattle raising in our stale rank#
higher than most peoplo suppose.!
It has come to he a profitable bus- *
iness to ninny farmers Who hove i
engaged in it. There is always n 1
demand in the markets for good
heof e; ttle and a consequent prof-
it, to the seller. !
Georgia producing in 1900 live had stock, 10,700 j
farms, and j
1,858 placind dairy products on
tho market. The value of all do-
mestic animals in tnis state for
the year stated was $33,400,0815 j
including 898,491 neat, cattle vsff- J j
n"d at $8,828'498. At this time
tho census reports show 211,591
calves worth $770,9t?8, while
gregato heifers were 93,285, vulued !
at $680,407.
The state possessed m 1900 all
told 110,070 cows two yours old
■and over, representing an invest-
ment of $0,828,106. There were
that year 154,250 hulls and steers
in Georgia worth $1,248,017,
Tho statistics quoted show un¬
mistakably that cattle in Goosgia
arc a profitable Investment. Wo
think a study of these figures will
prove profitable, and we nope
servo ns a stinmlous to those who
contemplate imining of cattle,
A diversification of this kind on
oiir farms would be a wonderful
assistance to tho average farmer's
bank account. As compared with
other Southern states, Georgia’s
showing is not bad, but it might
be a great deal better. At any rate
tho figures indicate progress, and
they tell us in loud tones that
cotton in not tile alpha and ome¬
ga of the Southern funner’s exis¬
tence.
There will be a gieater and a

The Glover Manufacturing
Company.
... — ■ ■ -
The Glover Manufacturing Co.,
located twenty-three miles above
Macon on the Jones county side
„f the Oc mul gee river, is said by
j in the construction anti
operation of cotton mills to ap-
proacli as near as is possible tin
ideal plant for the manufacture
of cottou yarns,
This being a Jones county eu-
terprise and purely the result of
iK'o energy and ingennity of a
.Jones county man, Dr. \V. P.
Glover, who owns and manages
the business, it will doubtless bn
of interest to our renders to know
something of it.
Tho mill had its inception in
Dr, Glover's appreciation of the
vast possibilities of the Ocmulgee
river at this jxjjnt for the devol■
of water power. With
charaaterislic energy he set him¬
self to the task of yoking the riv-
(o his purpose, and how woll he
succeeded is well testified by the
mill which he now has in opera-
tion. Tbreo hundred horse power
i 3 all that is needed to drivo the
machinery now in the factory but
if more should bo added the pow¬
er with which to operate it is
right at hand, only needing to be
set to work.
The mill itself would be a reve¬
lation to those whose knowledge
of conditions incident to the man-
ufaoturo of cotton goods iscon-
fin* l to legislative agitation. The
building is large enough to nccom-
modate twice as much machinery
as is now in operation,the ventila¬
tion and heating are as near per¬
fect as possible, there is a fuli
length window every eighteen
inches or two feet, elootricity m
used for lighting, and there is no
dust. To one who has any practi¬
cal knowledge of the average cot¬
ton mill this latter statement
would probably appear iuipo9si-
sililo but in this case it is true,
although the difficulty was over¬
come only after the expenditure of
moretlmn four thousand dollars.
The machine used for the sup¬
pression of dust is known as a
•‘Jmmidifyer,” and in addition
restores uniformly any moisture
that is taken from the atmosphere
by the system ot heating. The
machine is simply a devico for
breaking a given quantity of water
into the greatest number of par
tides at normal temperature. A
network of piping throughout tin*
contains infinitesimally small
holes through which water ii*
forced under a cold water pressure
of 120 pounds to tho square inch,
which is equal to 240 pounds of
steam pressure. Under these con¬
ditions the water is discharged in¬
to tho mill in almost perfect at¬
mospheric condition.
The most perfect system of fire
protection ever seen outside of a
city is in operation here. On top
of a high hill (winch, by the way,
tho Doctor did not have to build)
is a reservoir containing thous-
andsof gallons of wntor and con-
nocted with tho mill nnd wnre-
house by a system of pipes.- In the
warehouse overhead at intervals
of about three feet is a pipe in
which are holes filled with a met-
al that will melt at a slight iu*
crease of temperature above nor¬
ma', thus flooding the ontire area.
All thn walls are fireproof and any
increase of temperature closes by
an automatic devico every door
to the room in which the tire is
located.
The houses in which the opera¬
live are located in one of
the most healthful spots in Jones
county and are built us are any
other residences, and furnished to
the employes free of all cost. All
conditions have been made pleas-
ant, and nothing that would add
to the health and enjoyment of
U)08 ° workln « , for ,, tlle Glover ,,, Man *
ufacturing Company has been loft
undone. There are no boys or men
on the farm or behind tho counter
in the county who enjoy bettor
health, are more contented, or
nro more ploaaansly situated than
these.
I Dr. Glover is engaged in the
mnnufacuring business because it
pays a reasonable divedend on the
capital invested, but at the same
time he does not forget to provide
every ,!i way ““ possible. ’T; lw
THE JULIKTTK MILLING COMPANY.
On tho Monroe county side of
the river, just opposite the cmlon
faetorv
geneiai uiauu^er. xuia .s me »u;^-
est corn mill of its kind in the?
United States. It cotains sixteen I
sets of rocks and has a grinding 1
capacity of 5000 bushels of corn ■
every twenty-four hours, To drive
theso rocks and the necessary J ole-
vstors. fans, and dynamos foi
lighting purposes fifteen hundred
horse power u required, which is,
obtained from four water wheels,
two of 500 horse power each and j
two of 2o0 each.
Two years were required for tin
construction ,■ oi c . ■_ mill .'ii and ’
. i tis „„ as
it now stands it represents an ex-
penditure of mere than $50,000 I
The building of the darn was ft I
gigantic undertaking, but by far
the greatest difficulty was encoun¬
tered in constructing u canal and
water house. The entire distance
from tho dam to the mill house
is a solid btd of granite and
through this tho canal was con¬
structed. Over ouo thousand
pounds of dynamite was used in
the process and more than 5000
square yards of lock blusted out.
All this was accomplished under
the personal supervision of Dr.
Glover—no architect, civil en¬
gineer or draughtsman 'van em¬
ployed at any Lime—and the work
has since its completion been pro¬
nounced a marvel of engineering
skill.
The mill house is a model oi
convenience and embraces every
modern appliance known to the
milling industry, together with
several labor-saving devices in¬
vented by tho owner, among which
is a method of cleaning corn that
renders it next to impossible for
any objectionable substance to
reach tho milis. Another machine
that is wonderful in its operation
is one which takes from the corn
all substances of a metalic nature
and deposits them in a box pro¬
vided for that purpose. When ten
thousand bushels of corn have
passed over this machine U is not
unusual to find that it lias ab¬
stracted nails of all kinds, bits of
steel and iron, and perhaps a pair
of scissors and a jack knife or two.
1'ho rapidity with which the
meal is sucked and weighed is as¬
tonishing. Each bag is carefully
weighed and is then passed to a
negro boy who sews three bags a
minute, threading his needle for
each bag.
With tho exceptional^the heav¬
ier machinery pnrenpyed iii tin*
northern markets the tJ.ctire out¬
fit, is fhe perfection of plans
drawn by and executed under the
direction of Dr. Glover.
Besides these two larger plants
he has a smaller grist mill, u sa.v
mill and two gins all propelled
by water prwer, and, including
tho two larger mills,' representing
an outlay of uboui $175,000,
There are very few instances
in which tho energy ot one man
has accomplished so much out
aide of the speculative field.
