The fireman of the lumber plant went to the boiler room to replenish the fires In readiness for the work of the day- He had thrown one load of shavings into the furnace, and while gone out to get another load some of the the burning shavings fell out and set fire to things around the boil- In a few moments the room was enveloped in flames. At such an hour the town deep slumber, and not people in other sec- of the were awakened when the factory whistle sound- ed an alarm. In fact there is so much blowing of whistles here in the early morning hours that people are less liable to observe a whistle alarm at such an hour. The fire alarm gone at the mar house was also rung, but even this did not awaken people far from it Still fire- men and citizens heard the alarm to hurry to the scene and do effective work. A line of hose was quickly run from the nearest and the fire was confined to the boiler house. The main body of the factory caught fire several times but by good worK was put out and the valuable plant saved. The damage to the boiler house is estimated at about which is covered by insurance The effectiveness of system of water works was practically demonstrated at this fire. But for the abundant and convenient water supply, only a heap of ruins and ashes would now mark the site of a factory. In this one in- stance more than was saved.

Fact, isn't it We hadn't thought of it before, but one's own experience confirms it. The average man who attains a little prominence or accumulates a little property likes to boast of his success. It is to his credit that he has accumulated some- thing and he the most of it. In fact it takes a very little rise to set some men boasting and the best of them will sometimes magnify their difficulties and their success.

BANKS latest scheme of he south- Cotton Association, to a special from Columbia The Charleston News and is the organization of cotton banks The proposition to he placed before the farmers and business men of the whole South during the month of July, the special says, is the organization of what may be called cotton In other words, it is proposed to do a banking with cotton as capital. In the language of E D. Smith, cot- ton is the South's currency and there why it should not be utilized as a basis for banking as well as silver or gold. In any community where the and local business n can secure or as capital it is planned that they shall organize a company and erect a warehouse, which must be according to regulation, plans. Then they will be ready for bu and will propose that any farmer or any number of farmers deposit with them their, cotton, just as they might de posit money with a bank, Sup-; posing that bales of cotton; are deposited in this way and placed in the warehouse, with insurance guaranteed by the company and no storage charged, the company would proceed to utilize this cotton just as bank s the y deposited by its customers. Taking the warehouse for bales of cotton, the com- would go to a bank, or any other concern or prison money to lend, and borrow money upon these receipts at the cur- rent rate and the current price of cotton. With this money so borrowed the company would go into the local market chase other cotton, say Dales, which would be placed in the warehouse Then upon these bales the company would r, in go to the bank and borrow i and with this money go into the local market i-. id purchase other cotton, say i bales. These bales would I in be placed in the warehouse, upon them the company would borrow money with which again to enter the market and purchase other cotton, say bales. This operation could be kept up the borrowing cap- of the cotton was exhaust- ed, but this would hardly be at any time, and it would be possible to return the original bales whenever the owner made demand. All of this reads mighty well on paper, but to our mind the Southern Cotton Association is putting too many irons in the fire The warehouse plan is all practical and when the farmers undertake to do a banking business with as capital, they are more than likely to get into trouble. We hope the Mecklenburg farmers will think twice before investing in the cotton banks. Aw, the price sand is selling not it, would probably more table for them to invest sand COTTON FACTORY.
