HENP COnON NHL
WIU SOON START
One of the Most Modern Plants
To Make Fine
Goods
The new cotton mill at Hemp will
be in shape to start by the beginning
of the new year if not sooner. Ma
chinery is rapidly getting into place,
and finishing touches are put on here
and there every day. In a short
time one of the most modern plants
of its kind will be in operation, and
it will turn out a fine grade of woven
goods.
The mill is about an acre in size on
the floor, one story high. It will be
a weaving mill, making the finer
voiles and similar goods. It is setting
in place 300 looms, and the necessary
equipment to operate them. The build
ing is in the form of a square, with
lights from all sides and from the
top. Automatic sprinkling arrange
ments of the latest pattern takes care
of fire risk and other demand that
may be made for water in any form
or any quantity. Power comes from
the lines of the Carolina Power Com
pany, with driving machinery of am
ple capacity. The design of the mill
was to utilize the most efficient ma
chinery and to get the best results.
The looms are of the miost modern
pattern, and are set in blocks in such
^ way that every facility for labor
saving accomplishment is possible.
Every time a pound of material moves
from the receiving door of the factory
it will be moving in a direction it
should go until it is in the packing
cases in the form of finished product
ready to be loaded on the cars at the
railroad siding by the door of the mill.
In building this mill the company
has not only planned for an efficient
and modern mill, bxit has considered
the comfort of the operatives who will
be employed. Health conditions have
been regarded as much as productive
capacity. A number of houses are
built about the mill, and more will
be built as the demand requires, and
the houses are designed for the com
fort and happiness of the mill force.
Much work remains to be done in es
tablishing the mill village, and much
dependence necessarily will be placed
on the accomodations afforded by the
village of Hemp adjoining the mill
property, for the cotton proposition i£
a community development as well as
an industrial promotion. The mill will
always keep in mind the welfare of
the entire community, and carry on in
a way that the original town and the
new addition may be in harmony and
mutually beneficial.

E. J. WOODLEY
E. J. Woodley, Democratic can
didate for representative In the
legislature from Moore County
is a Jackson Springs man, al
though he came to this state a
few years ago from South Caro
lina. Mr. Woodley is a big farm
er in the Jackson Springs sec
tion, employing many hands, and
exerting an influence in his com
munity. While a comparative
newcomer into Moore county poli
tics he has a broad understanding
of community affairs, and has
made a lot of friends since he
came into the county.
Uls portrait^ shown above,
leaves no doubt that Moore coun
ty will be properly represented
at Raleigh when the good look
ing men are picked out, for the
picture shows an (upstanding,
square built, type that will class
ify with anything that any of
the rest of the state is liable to
send to the capital.
While Mr. Woodley is so far
only the candidate for election,
his standing in the county and
the fact that he is the candidate
of the dominant party in poli-
tics leaves no doubt of the re
sult, and the election next week
will be more a ratification than
an election.
