At a meeting of the directors of the Pac olet Manufacturing Company, held here this evening, Victor Montgomery, presi dent of the company, was instructed to take immediate steps to have mill No. 3. at Pacolet, repaired. A meeting of stockholders was ordered for July it to consider the question of increasing the capital stock of the com pany to rebuild wrecked mills Nos. 1 and 2 Have Something Left. The companies that have lost so heav ily are by no means ruined, for a gen era! estimate places the losses at not over 50 per cent of the total property of the companies. The Pacolet Manufac turing Company Iris left the New Hol land mills, with th*’ new 23,00*1 spindle addition just being completed, while mill No 3. at Pacolet, is only partially dam aged. With these two mills in operation 'he Pacolet Manufacturing Company will have in the neighborhood of 75.010 spin dles in operation, with a * ’rrespond’ng number of looms. While the Clifton Company has lost a larger percentage of spindles than the Pacolet Manufacturing Company, the heaviest stockholders arc the most op timistic an.i there is no sentiment that •an be discovered that would indicate anything other 'than that the directors intend to relink! the mills or .heir equiv alent in spindles. The Clifton Contpanj today sent down Instructions front their offices that all operatives in mill No. •I*'.- • »yed Sat urday, should he paid off tqjlay. This will be a tremendous rt llel to the situa tion there, as the operatives in No. 3 include nearly half die population of the Clifton mills settlement. The company will pay off al mills 1 and just as soon r.s possible. The Pacolet Mills Company announ >s that the operatives a: the three mills a; Pacolet will be paid <>l: ae.l tills matter will be attended to just as soon us pos sible. With the operatives of the six mills destroyed or damaged '*> the dorm paai off. and a month's pay in I *nd. the sit •tation will be vast y Improv I as fai as the operatives a.e concerned. The mills are doing all they ■•an in the way of riding th >s* I ■* op *'.itiv<*s who have been rendered dnstitui** by the flood.

Gainesville. <ia., June 11.—(Special.)— Gainesville Ims settled down to her nor mal condition, and there Is a. noticeable : absence of confn. ion upon the streets. ■ There are but f* «’ visitors dally and even . tho countrj folks arc at home on their i farms. There i only one serious case at the I negro hospital, that of a negro woman. ■ who Las a ■• :.-•■ of lockjaw. Her condition :■ is sot ion;. At the city and New Holland hospitals all p.itio.nls are doing well. I though there will be two or three deaths i before a great while. John A. Smith, chairman of the loss committee, who made a systematic esti mate of all losses, having gone over every foot of the ground, has given to the press the following statement; With the consent of the mayor and speaking for the property loss committee composed of Judge J. B. Wlnburn, B. I). Langford and myself. 1 wish to give to the press and through this medium to a most generous people throughout the country, tbu result of a most careful and searching investigation as to the true conditions of the storm-stricken city as I find It today. God bless the press; You have told the people of our pressing needs, and have not only headed subscription lists, but h ive inspired the people to liberally give to a cause absolutely worthy. God bless the people! You have respond ed most nobly and graciously. The relief eonnnitu .* has had the situation well in hand from tlie first day without confusion or friction, working in and out of season. Every pressing want has, or will be, sup plied by Saturday night. The three hospitals are well organized and moving smoothly, and those wounded, scattered about over the city, are well cared for. As\ 1 see tho situation It Is ah* us this: Thq dead have been buried, and the in jured are having their wants administered unto. Provisions, clothing of every sort, household and kitchen furniture, supplies —in fact about everything of this sort— has been supplied that was lost. Flans for the Future. This brings us face to face with the most serious problem—that must be met, and will be met: First, find work for tlie people that they may earn their liv ing. Second, build back the homes of needy over the storm-swept district, nearly 2 miles in length. To better un derstand the situation I desire to say that at the time of the disaster there was scarcely an empty house in the city. The occupants of most of these destroyed homes are temporarily quartered In tents and huts. It can be readily seen now that any donation sent should be confined to cottage lumber, shingles, nails or cash. If the railroads would transport, free of charge, from south Georgia and Ala bitfua points this building material, so li*VB:" needed, some $4 on every thousand feet of lumber can be saved, and I ap peal to the management of the railroads to come to the relief of our stricken city in this manner.

These losses are not necessarily total, but the future must tell what amount will be paid. For the present, at least, they are losses, and in tlie aggregate will amount to $150,030, which, added to that given above in detail of property leases, foots up the sum first given to the world by the press, making that esti mate practically correct, viz, $600,000. As to relief: The treasurer of the re lief association hs-s received up to date ahoue $»,00(» in cash, and the commissary for supplies reports t.ie receipt of cloth ing furniture, household and kitchen furniture, etc., worth, approximately. $13,000.

June 9.—(Special.)—Colonel Charles S. Welt, who has just returned home from Gainesville, where he has been for the past week assisting In the w’ork of caring for the sufferers from tho recent tornado, tells a very interest ing story connected with Victor Mont gomery, the owner of the mills that suf fered in the Gainesville tornado and also the owner of the Pacolet mills that were destroyed by the flood in South Carolina last Friday night. Mr. Mcntjfoniery was talking- t»» Colo nel Wet-b last Tuesday night in Gaines ville about the disaster that had come upon his property there and remarked | that he had almost reached the conclu- I sion that there was something in the I superstition about beginning things on I Friday. Mr. Montgomery said that when * he went to Gainesville to look for a site i for the mill he proposed to establish i there it was on a Friday. He went back ■ to South Carolina and reported to his j board of directors and they met on Fri day. When he came back to Gainesville and laid oft the ground upon which the buildings were to be constructed it was on Friday. When the actual work of beginning the construction of the mill building was started it was Friday and he remarked to tho superintendent of construction that there was a supersti tion about beginning work on Friday. The superintendent laughed and said that he was born on Friday and tne 13th of I the month at that. Over a year ago Mr. Montgomery’s father happened to an ac : cident on one Friday in which he lost his t life. So Mr. Montgomery told Colonel : Webb that if the tornado had come on i Friday he would not have been surprised. He went on home to Spartanburg and on lost Friday night the great rain storm fell that swept away his entire fortune in the wreck and ruin of tho Pacolet mills.
