THE REED ERICK WORKS.
One of Abbeville’s Most Flourishing
Industries.
In flu* front rank of Abbeville’s
industrial institutions the Reed
Brick Works occupy a commanding
position. In fact it is not too much
to sa\ that in the number of ini-ii
employed, the aggregate of wages
paid, and in value of mail u fact tired
product, litis establishment exceeds
any otticr in this locality. And it
is needless to say that our merchants
fully appreciate the importance of a
concern every dollar of whose
monthly pay-roll finds its way into
tile local channels of trade.
The plant is ’ located on the bank
of the Ocnndgoe river, just outside
the corporate UnuU of tlu* town, and
near the line of VW' Georgia & Ala
bama railroad with which it is eon
neeteil by a spur track; thus having
ample shipping facilities Ixdli by rail
and water. The properly embraces
thirty-live acres a considerable part
of which is occupied by kilns, drying
sheds* power bouse, tool house, com
missary and other buildings and the
whole of which is underlaid with a
superior quality of Ocmulgee brick
clay, famous throughout Georgia
:,| ul Florida. The bricks manufac
tured lien* are of such excellence
and have acquired such a reputation
in the markets of this and adjoining
states, that, notwithstanding the
greatly increased facilities for manu
factoring, the concern is unable at
present to fully supply the demand.
The proprietor of tiiese works. Mr.
Geo. W. Reed, is a Michigan man
who located here about a year ago.
Being favorably impressed with the
natural advantages of Abbeville,
particularly in his special line of
manufacture, and finding tlu* brick
works for sale, Mr. Reed purchased
them and at once settled down to
M| ..j The entire plant was
overhauled, new machinery was put
in and many extensions and im
provements were made' to insure
rapidity of work and perfection of
It is to-day one of the

”' : b but (he demand tor tin* out
put lias increased to such an extent
that further enlargements have lie
come necessary, An improved brick
machine of large capacity has been
ordered and is now being manufac
tured at Day ton, Ohio. Several
barrels of the stiff or “long” clay
from here were sent up there in
order that the machine might be
thoroughly tested before being ship
ped here. When this new machine
is received and installed tin* output
of the works will be greatly in
creased, and orders of most any
magnitude can be executed on short
notice.
Mr. Reed is an enterprising citizen
and his brick works are an important
factor in the prosperity and up
building of the town.

JAS. 0. MEKEGAN
Brought Back to Abbeville.
Mr. M. F. Reynolds, the largest
depositor in the defunct Hank of Ab
beville, wbo went to North Carolina
three weeks ago to secure the arrest
and extradition of J. (I. Mehegan,
president of the looted bank, met)
with tile fullest meed of success in j
his undertaking. After obtaining
the requisite papers from the Gover
nor of North Carolina he telegraphed
for W. xi. Gates of the police force
of Alilieville to join him at Tarhoro,
X. C., the home of Mehegan. At
an opportune moment Mehegan was
arrested hurried into a carriage and
rapidly driven to Keuley, twenty
miles distant. At the time of the
arrest Reynolds ami Gates were sur
rounded by a throng id' people, sup
posed to be friendly to Mehegan and
likely to attempt his rescue. This
supposition was verified by their hot
pursuit uf the men who had Mehegan
in charge. Arriving at Kcnlcy.
Gates and Reynolds deemed it pru
dent to find a secluded retreat for a
few days which idea was adopted.
At midnight last Monday they
hoarded a south bound fast train
with their prisoner and arrived at
Abbeville early yesterday morning.
Messrs. Gates and Reynolds dis
played great courage and tact in
carrying out tlieir plans so success
fully. Mehegan was permitted to
examine the books of the bank yes
terday morning and says that lie will
settle in full with the banks deposi
tors in a few days.
