FIRST PIECE OF CLOTH-
The Gainesville Cotton Mills
turned put the first piece of cloth
ever manufactured at this new
mill Friday afternoon, 21st. in
stant. It was a pretty piece of
sheeting, although it did'not have
the finish which wili be given the
goods when turned out for ship
ment. Already a good deal of
cotton has been worked up at the

mill, and in a short time the fact
ory will begin making sheeting
for the trade. About one year ago
the question of moving the mill
from Cfrarleston to Gainesville
was submitted to the citizens of
this city. They jumped at the
opportunity to get it, and today it
is an enterprise of which the c ty
is very proud. To begin the erec

complete it and start to making

J.->B. Estes, j. s. c.
Thirty grand jurors and seven
ty-two special jurors have been
drawn for the term, and the sher
iff and his assistants commenced
summoning them last Monday.
Since the heineous crime was com
mitted there has been a sentiment
among the people that the al
leged murderers be given a speedy
trial, and in persuance of his de
termination to have the law and
justice speedily meted out to the
accused, Judge Estes ordered the

or not he had changed his opm-

two counties in the state—Chat

sent out from Statesboro that I
made such a statement was a lie,”
he replied. I never made the states

wrote Col. Estill.”
Mr. Guerry ‘believes that the
primary will be fixed for an early
date in Mr. Terrell’s interest.
