Detroit, Mich., Dec. 2S. Dozens of
mahogany, walnut and teakwood bars,
tables and fixtures from saloons raided
in the Detroit district since the ad-!
vent of prohibition, a display of highly 1
polished and costly wood valued at up-'
: wards of $300,000. may be chopped into
firewood and distributed among De
troit's poor. Or these bars and tables,
over which thousands of elbows have
been crooked and that in years past
have been made to glisten by con
stant application of towels in the
hands of white aproned attendants may
be converted into benches for august
judges or into pulpits behind which
clergymen will stand and voice the
arguments for a saloonless world.
While State and city prohibition
forces are making up their minds
which course to pursue in disposal of
the valuable store of woods, rats and
mice are playing havoc with the bars
and tables, that have been dumped in a
heap near one of the city's police sta
tions. Under a State law prohibition offi
cials confiscate the fixtures - in any
establishment found to be dispensing
liquors. Lacking a place to store
these articles the officials have piled
them in a vacant place outdoors, thus
erecting what the police call the city's
"mahogany dump."
Judge William M. Heston of re
corder's court has decreed the collec
tion be cut into firewood and given
to the poor. Others propose the water
soaked pile be salvaged and that the
wood be used to make pulpits and
judges' benches.
For display purposes the wood is
worth a fortune but for firewood it is
no better than the more plebian varie
ties. City officials say that to cut the
lobars into stovewood would cost moru
than it would, be worth for that pur
pose. Therefore the proposal of Judge
Heston will not be put into effect, for a
time, at least.
While a solution is being reached
the owner of the property on which
the "mahogany dump" is located is
frantically urging the officials to "take
it away" as he needs the space and
also because the "dump" has become
the home of scores of rats.
RUSSIAN LEADER
DEFIESSOVIETS
Marie Spiridinova Near
Death from Hunger
Strike While in Jail.
Moscow, Dec. 28. (By the Associated
Press.) Marie Spiridonova the Social
Kovolutionist leader.
the Bolsheviki over the Brest-Litovsk
Treayt, is dangerously ill in the Che
fca. hospital as the result of a hunger
strike for 15 days and was brought to
an end through forced feeding.
Spiridonova is the acknowledged
leader of the Russian peasants. She
was banished to Siberia under the
Czarist regime for bombing a provincial
official, but returned at the time cf
the revolution and was an important
factor in leading the peasants into the
combination with workmen which made
the Bolshevist coup possible.
But the Brest-Litovsk Treaty was a
bitter dose for her. She denounced it
in the Fifth All-Russian Soviet Con
gress because she said it robbed the
peasants of food and clothing. She
also denounced Lenine'a plan, whereby
he arrayed poor peasants against more
prosperous ones, and said it was put
ting a premium on shiftlessness.
Immediately after Spiridonova's sen
sational denunciation of the Brest
"Litovsk Treaty, Count Mierbach, the
German ambassador in Moscow, was
murdered and the Social Revolutionist
uprising at Yarroslav and other out
breaks against the Bolshevist authority
took place.
Spiridonova disappeared immediately
after her inflammatory speech in the
Fifth All-Russian Soviet Congress.
That was in early July, 1918. Bolshe
vist leaders caused the report to be
circulated that she was mentally un
balanced and had been placed in a
sanitarium.
She was confined for a time in a
building in the Moscow Kremlin, but
managed to escape, and was not heard
of for a long while. The Cheka dis
covered her living quietly in an obscure
section of Moscow and she was again
imprisoned. After repeated attempts
to get releasee, Spiridonova started the
hunger strike which came near ending
her life. She has been afflicted with
tuberculosis for years as a result of
her prison experiences under the old
regime. The lack of food aggravated
her malady and it was necessary to
move her t a nospital and administer
nourishment forcibly.
Spiridonova was a schoolteacher at
the time she became a terrorist and
while still in her teens took up the
defense of peasants against the op
pressions of government officials and
landlords. She is now about 35 years
OPPOSE MILITARY
TRAINING FOR BOYS
Chicago, Dec. 28. A nation-wide
campaign against military training for
high school boya has been started here
by the headquarters of the American
eaeration of Teachers. The hrst or
ganization to pledge co-operation with
the teachers is the Chicago League o!
Women Voters, of which Mrs. Harriet
Treadwell Taylor is president. A close
j second is the Illinois League of Wo
men Voters whose executive board
i througn its president, Mrs. Henry W.
Cheney, has endorsed the movement.
The Federation's opposition to mil
itary training in the public high
schools is based upon three argu
ments: 1. Because not even Germany deem
ed it advisable to maintain military
training for school boys in time of
peace.
2. Because military training is not
an adequate substitute for physical
training.
3. Baoause militarism should be dis
couraged, not encouraged.
The appeal is being sent to organiza
tions throughout the United States.

fatally, wounded two miles from Allen
dale yesterday afternoon by his cousin,
Lewis Davis, who immediately after
the shooting took 15 grains of a poi
son but may recover.
Frampton was taken to a hospital
in Charleston while Davis is being at
tended by physicians at a hotel here.
The condition of Frampton is said to
be the more serious of the two. De
tails of the affair are - meagre.

Completion of New Project
Will Bring Power Devel
oped to 1,000,000.
Buffalo, Dec. 2 S Completion of the
12 1-2 mile Chippawa Queenston chan
nel by the jDntario Hydro Commission
brings waterpower development at
Niagara Falls to threshold of 1,000.000
horsepower, equivalent in steam gen
erated electricity tou coal consumption
of more than 10.000,000 tons a year.
The mighty cataract, long one of the
wendetsights of the world, has become
the world's greatest center of hydro
electrical power.
Dredges which have been cutting
through earth and rock north from
Chippawa and south from Queenston
for 3 1-2 years in a wide swing about
the fahs, were removed this month.
They have taken out 13,200,000 cubic
yards of earth and 4,182,000 cubic yards
of rock, a total slightly more than the
French had removed from Culebra Cut
at the time the Panama route was
taken over by the United States. The
maximum depth of the Chippawa ditch
is 145 feet and at one point the engi
neers were confronted with a rock cut
85 feet in depth. They also had to
change the coursa of Chippawa creek.
Its natural course was southerly into
the Niagara while the completed canal
will flow northerly.
The Chippawa-Queenstown canal
cost ;bout $65,000,000. An additional
91o.000.000 will be required to com
plete installation of the 10-unit gen
erating machinery.
The output of the super-power plant
will be 650,000 horsepower. There arc
now three plants operating on the Ca
nadian side of the river with a total
output of 450.000 horsepower, so that
if all of them are continued in opera
tion, Canada's Niagara production
alone will be over the 1,000,000 horse
power mark.
Existing and projected development
on tho American side has a potential
production of 420,000 horsepower from
upper river diversion. The Niagara
Falls Company, in control, there, ha.T
other hydro-electric and steam plants
l giving it a total marketable output of
' 610,000 horsepower, but from Niagara
! river alone the production is 420,000
I horsepower.
! The reaching and passing of the mil
lion horsepower mark has been accom
P'Lshed in approxirntaely a quarter of
a century, for it was in 1895 that the
wheels of the first industrial plant at
Niagara Falls were turned by hydro
clectrijal energy. The first turbines
on the Canadian side were installed 10
years later.
Power development on the Canadian
side has b?en under Government con
trol, while on the American side it has
been largely in the hands of one cor
poration. Canadas power has been
scattered over a wide field, serving
many municipalities within a radius of
250 miles with current for light, heat
and power. The policy on the Amer
ican side has been to concentrate
users of power at or near Niagara
Falls, Puffalo and cities as far east as
Syracuse get sufficient power from
Niagara Falls to run tret cars and
for a few industries, but the bulk of
power is used within a short distance
of the generating plants.

Preferred Stock
The Henrietta .Mills has authorized, to be issued January 1,
1922, S650,000.00 of 8 per cent Cumulative Preferred Stock-for the
purpose of providing money to pay, without interfering with work
ing capital, the last two instalments against the purchase,, by the
Henrietta Mills, of the Cherokee Falls Manufacturing Company, of
Cherokee Falls, S.. C.
The Henrietta Mills has no funded debt, and no mortgage or
other lien can be placed on the property while this stock is out
standing except with the consent of the owners of 75 per cent of
this issue of preferred stock. In case of liquidation or dissolution
of the corporation while any of this preferred stock is outstanding
the holders thereof shall be entitled to.be paid par value with any
accrued unpaid dividends thereon out of the assets of the corpora
tion, ahead of any other stockholders. Dividends are cumulative,
and in the event of dividends on this preferred stock falling in arrears
for two years the preferred stock shall have the same voting power as
the common stock, until all accumulated dividends upon preferred stock
shall, have been fully paid. This stock is retirable at the option of
the company at any interest date at $105 per share.
It has been arranged for the 8 per cent dividend to be paid
in four quarterly installments of 2 per cent each on the first day
of April, July, October and January.
This stock is exempt. from North Carolina property tax and the
dividends are exempt from normal Federal income tax, (and from
North Carolina income tax).
The Henrietta Mills was organized in 1887 and from that time
has been one of the most successful and substantial cotton manufac
turing companies in the South. The Henrietta trademark export
brands are favorably known in every market of the world where
American goods are sold, and they are now moving in a very sub
stantial way. Their domestic goods andyarns enjoy an enviable
reputation in the markets of the United States. The' business was
organized by Mr. S. B. Tanner and his associates, and Mr. S. B.
Tanner is now president and active head of the business. The Hen
rietta Mills has never failed to pay dividends in any year since
beginning operations.
The Cherokee Falls , Manufacturing Company, which will become
a part of the Henrietta " Mills upon the completion of this financing,
was organized in 1882 by Messrs. J. C. Plonk and W. P. Roberts
and associates, and has a record closely paralleling that of the Hen
rietta Mills. Cherokee Falls has paid dividends every year except
for the two-year period following the destruction of the plant by
fire in 1902.
The properties of the Henrietta Mills, consisting of Mill No.
1 at Henrietta, N. C, and Mill No. 2 at Caroleen, N. C, and also
the property of the Cherokee Falls Manufacturing Company, stand
behind this issue of preferred stopk. All three plants are in the
best condition, practically all of the early machinery having been
replaced during the last five or six years with modern equipment.
All three mills, located on Broad River, have valuable developed
water powers which furnish a large part of their power, the Chero
kee Falls plant being driven entirely by water and the two Henrietta
plants by water power supplemented by modern steam plants and
secondary power from the Southern Power Company.
In Figures the Three Plants May Be Described As Follow:
Henrietta No. 1 Henrietta No. 2 Cherokee Falls Total
Spinning Spindles 26,700 48,416 28,020 103,136
Twister Spindles . , , 944 5,020 5,964
Looms : 710 1,059 500 2,269

Operatives' Cottages 176 218 118 512
Developed Waterpower, H. P 1,100 800 1,500 3,400
The mill buildings are all approved slow burning mill construc
tion, fully equipped with automatic fire protection systems, each mill
has ample sprinklered warehouses, the villages are a source of pride
in the sections in which they4 are located. The best school and church
facilities are available and all the mills are noted for the extraordi
narily high class, intelligence and efficiency of their operatives,
most of whom have been at these mills for years. Each cottage has
a garden plot and the gardens are a source of interest and profit
to the employees. "
On tax assesment valuation these properties are worth $3,405,
409.00. They are covered by fire insurance totaling $5,627,240.00.
On a valuation of $30.00 a spindle, which mill experts consider very
conservative for these mills and far below replacement value, their
value is $3,090,600.00, or nearly five times the par value of this
issue of preferred stock. In addition to this the two mills showed as
of Oct. 30 this year net cash assets, above all liabilities, of $689,461,
or more than enough to retire this issue of preferred stock. As of
the same date the surplus and reserve accounts of the Henreitta
Mills amounted, to $2,220,779.00. The common stock of the Henrietta
Mills, the only stock of the company other than this authorized pre
ferred issue, is only $675,000.00, so it might be said that three
fourths of all the plant investment and all the working capital have
been provided from earnings, and in addition substantial dividends
have always been paid.
We will have for sale the entire issue of $650,000.00 and offer, subject to prior sale, $200,000.00 of this
issue at par, for delivery January 1st, 1922. Deliveries made after January 1st, 1922, will be at par plus ac
crued interest.
We believe this to be the most desirable preferred stock ever offered by a Southern Cotton Mill.
