' ' : Concord has in a, uttla more than a decade grown into one of the leading manufacturing towns in the Staff, and its prosperity ia firmly anchored to the Odell Manufacturing Company. When the Odells Jaought the Forest Hill mill in 1877; the population of Concord was 1,200.. To-day.it is 6,000. j "r; There are few more interesting places in North Carolina than the littlej town in itself, which these ' mills have; done very much to build up. ; No mill own era take more interest in their employes than these progressiva Christian men, and they do much to encourage mo rality andgood citizenship among the seven .hundred men "who make their daily bread in these large worc8.: . One of the handsomest Methodist churches in the State is. Forest-Hill, which owes its existence to these benevolent gentle men. ; And this community of Forest Hill is noted for its high: standard of I morality and right living. When Greensboro Female College, that institution which has sent forth so many" polished worries to adorn; South em homes, was about to close its doors, and was tm the vergeVof being lost to the Methodist church, Capt ; Odell was one of theaaw dozen, benevolent gentle men who came to the rescue. The col lege was sold at public sale and was bought by these gentlemen. : They put their money into, this institution with no hope of future gain,' but to Save it to the church and State. " Their co-opera tion gave the Old college a new lease of life, and it has been - steadily growing and prospering ever since.- In the meantime it has been improved in every department, -and now is on a firmer ba sis than it ever was before. The gen tlemen who own the college, the; Odells among the principal; stockholders, do not ask any return from the invest ment, -regarding the increment of edu- caiea womannooa mat accrues irom me i-titutioneaehyear as not only, good interest on the investment j but a large Surplus accumulatedf or the good of the btate and of humanity. - Some years ago a new enterprise was begun in Concord the manufacture of seamless bags. These bags are used by the thousand "for packing salt grain and many other products that require a closely knit bag that cannot rip. The machinery ; by which these bags: .are made had to be designed especially "lor the purpose. Ihe machinery with which the works at Concord were the invention of Mr. Will Kerr, and ia the best bae makine macmnerv ever j designed. .. ,' The corporation was called the "Kerr Bag -Manufacturing Company, taking the name of the ingenious young in ventor, j . 5-:- VU;: f j::' .The Odells were largely interested in this company and, after some years, the business of tag manufacturing was in corporated into the Odell Manufactur ing Company. The Odell Company now turns out these bags by the thou sand, and finds a 'ready sale for them wherever such an article is in demand. Tba product has acquired a wide repu tation, and the trade has steadily in creased. , -' " v "5 The Odell plaids are known far and wide, and are in demand wherever they are known.

To accommodate the demana ior i their goods, the company is compelled to constantly increase its plant . ana j WlftllC! that the spinaien uu 7 iT I nroducts are not sun stantiafly increased. .

The county was made up cnieny nf German and Scotch Irish, the town being the dividing line i between the original settlement of the; Dutch ap the Scotch Irish. ': The Scotch frish set tled on the best land for .potton, and earlv prospered "more than their frug& and industrious Dutch neighbors; They early gave to the Z State a patriotic, Rodfearinar. CalviniflUx!. "do your-duty" nonulation that loved learning and had the best state pride consistent '.with, the devotion to elm. It was the Cfomwel- lian devotion to duty in these Scotch Irish of Mecklenburg and Cabarrus that inspired the reC'araU0n,ot lnoepena- e"aafi'.But while that part ot tloarr in whch jie SooPh-Irish i prospered earlier jthan the more iiUy . ieiifl apd stock ranges of the frugal Gef man, this prosperity led to a demand ' for more luxunep ana gjrwai.Bucuuiiiuoui muucj .

This may be said with truth of the entire population ; of Cabarrus, it is far above the average In education, thrifidepepencs pf the masses, and in those 'hirigs thai 'eyidenee growth in aU s beat vin ipijdr fmbderri' rural civiliitatioa, ' :-' V: ' ' "' . - Cabarrus is a good cottonounty, and Capt Odell found here abundant cotton m the local market to supply- the de mands of his factory, without having to pay any freight charges. -i The success of his enterprises has been largely the result of nis" capacity to take advantage of every local conditfon tha could be utilized, and with the cotton field ad joining the . factory, the money, that usually goes (0 miaaiemen ana lor transportation was kept in tte treasury of the factory. It is' the aaving .of the littles, the close attention to the smal lest details,' the stopping of all leaks, the quickness to take advantage of every new condition as it arises, as well as comprehensive business: sense, that marks the difference between the suc cessful manufacturer and the unsuccessi fuj one. Capt Odell, -Irom the first, made himself master of every detail pf his factory operations, reared his son to the 'same scrupulous care about the smallest things, , and required all the officers, from the highest to the lowest, to regard no labor as beneath them, but to know how to do every ahd all things necessary to the success and growth of the enterprise. It is to this insistence upon the mastery of details, emphasized by his own knowledge and his own never flagging industry mat has inspired all whom be has associated with Lim in business to an "ambition to", emulate his industry and "horse sense.?' vMore than this; Jt has caused capitalists in other places to seek the assistance of Capt Odell in making their enterprises successful, and so frequent have been the urgent requests made by other com nanies for him to talra thft rirpsidftnp.v . : , 1 J of then mills that he has been forced to decline dozens of such offers. Not two months ago the -leading moneyed ; men of a certain large town in the State were talking abot establishing a cotton facH tory in their town. There was no trou ble about raising the capital; all the difficulty was in securing, theright men to take , charge .or the , business. . One oi the company present, " who "had been expected to take $2,500 worth of stock. said: "Iwilltake $10,000 worth of stock if you can get Capt J. M. Odell, of Con cord, to become president His accep- lance oi tne presidency would insure confidence in the enterprise, and guar antee "dividends. S He is a dividend making arid a dividend declaring -mill man, and that s the kind." iNot only has he achieved this success in his own business, but Capt. Odell has helped thousands of men and women in a strictly business way, not to speak of his charities and gifts to religion and education,' which have' kept pace with ui Business success, xnere are not a few men and woman, includinr widows. who have money- "they desire 4o invest safely', and they 1 are. 'always anxiously watcming lor good and sale investment. Whenever there has been need of addi tional capital in any enterprise in which he has been connected, investors have been glad to furnish as much as Capt Odell would say he could use profitably. In this way he has helped ; the' monev classes.- - There are in everv countv many willing hands that need employ ment, men and women,' who have not the means or the inclination to go away from home to seek work, but are quick enoughto, learn,- and capable enough to do; . The town : of Concord; and , the county of Cabarrus had plenty of such men and women who have found em ployment in the Odell mills and in other mills that have been built by enterpris ing men in this manufacturing centre. ' - There Was a dramatic scene at an in terrupted wedding in Bockingham county laet week. The bride was ready; but the groom did not appear An hour passed and .finally he drove up to the door drunks The bride stepped to the door and forbade him to leave the vehicle or enter the church.
