like us, and
The $100,000 must be subscribed
and the Vesta mills must locate
here. We need this enterprise m
our business, aud we need and
must have that 1,500 increase in
our population which it will bring.
As we look at it, it’s not what we
can do, it’s what we must do. Gen
tlemen of the committee, keep
passing the hat around.
Glorious News
Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile of Wash
ita, I, T. He writes:
New Dress Goods
WE MUST HAVE IT.
i ‘Some are horn great* some
achieve greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon them.”
How many times we have heard
the above quotation and how many
times have we let it passout of
mind as the words died upon the
lips of the one uttering them. But
that other old saying, ‘'Chickens
will come home to roost,” is just
as true as ever, and today Gaines
ville stands upon th« eve of hav
ing greatness thrnst npon her, and
if she repels this opportunity, ver
ily, her chickens will come' hom j
to roost.
About on6 year ago a million
dollar enterprise located in our
midst before we knew what was
up. During the twelve-month
just past this enterprise has reared
its head and today stands as a
monument to that greatness which
some achieve. As we said before,
this came unheralded and unan
nounced and we have reaped the
benefits from its thousands of dol
lars turned loose already in its
construction. And this is but the
beginning. When we contemplate
for a moment its host of opera-
per month, our imagination can
not conceive of the vast benefits
which are yet to accrue to us by
reason of its location here. We
can never repay with our thanks
the great debt of gratitude we owe
the people who put j;his enterprise
down at onf doors. . * - >
Today these same people, not
satisfied with what they have al
ready, done, come to ns ancT offer
to invest half a million dollars
more with us? For what consid
eration? Simply that we put in
enough to be identified with them
and assure them of our hearty

South Carolina’s Epidemic.
Smallpox in-South Carolina is
spreading with great rapidity.
The situation is serious and unless
the disease is soon gotten under

control there will not be a section
in the state free from its rav ages.
Up to several months ago the dis
ease' was confined almost altogeth
er to the middle and upper por
tions, of the state, but during the
past few months a large number
of cases have developed on the
coast, and a regular epidemic pre
vails on the islands along the coast.
The disease, it is said, extends
from the coast of Georgia and that
hundreds of the colored people
who inhabit the sea islands along
the coast are afflicted with the dis
ease; Gpv, McjSweeny " and tb e
State Board of Health are doing
everyth Impossible to stamp put
the disease and have met with suc

Fire broke out in room number five
at the Hunt house Monday morning at
10:30 o’clock. It originated in a dres

some matches aud started the blaze.
The alarm was turned in and the fire
department responded promptly, but
the blaze was put out before it arrived.
Some damage was done to the room
