: 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

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

wide, and are in demand wherever they
are known. The brands of . sheetings

- When Capt Odell and his associates
hoiWht the Forest Hill factory, Concord
was a small village, the county town of
an industrious and honorable popula
tion. 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 .
The German farmers, o pUier

. - 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.

- - No SUver Legislation.
Washington. Dec. 6.-r-Senator Du
bois to day 6aid the friends of silver did
not look-for any favorable f legislation
during the present session of Congress,
and that, in view of the hostile attitude
of the. President, he did not believe any
special effort would be made in that
direction. - The silver men: he believed,
would so - far control the committees
that they could at any time bring up a
free-coinage bill, and it was very likely
that a number of speeches in .advocacy
of such a measure would be. made dui
ing these8siQn. The wisdom ot mak
ing a prolonged fight with ! the fulj
knowledge of its hopelessness, ihe said,
was much doubted by the silver men,
and it was altogether likely that they
would content themselves with reaffirm
ing their allegiance to the cause rather
than prolong the session when no sub
stantial good possibly "could result
-Tpe .Senator, , lipwever, was - very
positive in' asserting that - Tio issue of
bonds would be authorized or other
financial legslatipn permitted without
some substantial recognition gives to
silver.: Nor, he continued, would any
measure providing , for thfij retirement
of greenbacks pass the Senate, except
sijver, be given an important place? m
any gcheuWfor preventing the contrac-'
tion of -the currency which' necessarily
would be caused, by auch 1 retirement
lie. therefore, did -not look for any
financial legislation at the present session.
