This beautiful little city is situated on the main line of the Southern railway between Washington and Charlotte, seven miles north of Con cord.' You will : recoenize it by a beautiful artificial lake by the side of the railroad about, 15 miles south of Salisbury. It is called 'The Magic City' down there but its real name is Kannapolis, and it was named for its founder, J. w. Cannon, who is president of the Cannon Manufacturing company. This com pany operates a chain of about u cotton mills in North Carolina and South Carolina, several of which ai'e in my district, a number of them being located in the town to which T rpfer. At this particular town whirh has erown to a population of several thousand since the company built some of its mills there five or six years ago, you will observe the new order that prevails in the south with reference to the conditions and surroundings of mill people since the day when sensational welfare found some cause for criticism and complaints. : Here you will find neat, sanitary homes for the mill workers: safe and sanitary condi tions under which to work; a Young Men's Christian association especial ly for the men and boys who are employed in the mills. Wholesome amusement for the children, a li brary and reading room and a swim ming pool; and a good graded scnooi open for eight or nine months of Ynn will also see a home for girls who work in the mills but wlinsp narents do not live near Dy.
