" ..v .... ' : A Look Through the Plant o the Raleigh Hosiery Com pany Doing Splen did Work The A Post man had the pleasure yesterday t'f being shown through the plant of h? Raleigh Hosiery Company, located opposite the penitentiary, near the west extension of Morgan. ' street. Little more than & year ago this com-r-my suffered severe loss by the fire "Mch burned down their factory located P1 ar the ice factory. Four months-later 'ifi? started up again on a small-scale their present location, and by - the fir.-st of October were running full blast v rh new and modern machinery in a Vt -lighted, .heated and ventilated new idling adapred specially to the re-!'i;r-nients of a first-class knitting mill. At present the company has in opera t: ;i ribbers and 63 knitting ma- and have purchased 22 more of inner oon to be put. In use. une h".--e machines will knit a sock in S iA,ir three minutes. r'v mill runs eleven hours a day ar ! has 'a capacity of about 500 paifs rf hose daily, working about 125 men, " ""m and children. Tjie operatives v-"-;rk by the piece, that is.so much per rr'". and their earnings are said to be V-vatT than those of cotton mill opera ! They look healthy, contented and n'PiT and in liv with: their work. 1'bnt is a most complete one, ana , everything necessary to make : trades of goods..

Each ttnae of the work was viewed, from the -:-m where the ribbers start the product in the packing room it is stamped In Prr.'s,!.. V:J : ... I " ; S. and made ready for shipment. The finished goods compare well with those made in any of the older hosiery mills of the north. , This plant has its own electric plant, heating ami ventilating system, water works, sewerage and everything neces sary to expedite Work and for comfort and convenience. It is an enterprise of whch the city should be proud. Yet most of the product is sold outside of the State. North Carolina people are not really aware of the splendid quality of goods made here. A . fifty-horse-power engine runs the mill, fed from" anv eighty-horse-power boiler, and everything moves like clock work, showing skill and good manage ment. . . , .' . ... This mill has, for its design, construc tion and adaptation to its purposes and its neatness, received from every insur ance inspector, who has .visited it un qualified commendation and js favored with a veryj low rate of insurance. The business of the company as it stands represents an investment of over fifty thousand dollars, and it has grown so quietly as to have not attracted the attention of the tjommunity to its ixl importance as one of the chief industrial enterprises of onr city. It employs some 125 hands ahd its pay-rolls run up to $30,000 yearly, and ' this mony turned loose in our city is felt by every-business interest. - : ; ' .-'' The machinery, from the rib-topi ma chines to the powerful hydraulic prtsses used ia finishing, -is of the most recent patents, and combines both great produc tion with a minimum per cent of mend ers and seconds.. The entire "plant was designed witty? the view to save labor in all the details of manufacture and along this line it may be mentioned that in this nill one helper does the work that twp mttst perform in a mill not constructed on labor-saving princi ples.' Although ft full water supoly Is obtained from a-deep six-ipch well and 10,000-gallon tank as an additional pre caution the - company "will soon build ft 100,000-galloq reservoir and install an , Underwriters fire pump of 500-gallon capacity per minute. While the production at present aver ages only 500 dozen pairs of hosiery dally, or 150,000 dozen yearly, still when the equipment contracted, for is com plete the daily output wilrnn to some thing over 600 dozen; and although the present floor space is 21,300 square feet the management thinks this will have to be increased to at least 30,000. The dye house equipment for producing fast blacks in lisle finish is ofespecial interest; the secret formula, embracing the. use of fourteen chemicals, costing the company over one thousand dollars. The process of dyeing is a secret one, which is not committed to even the head dyer, and new processes of finishing and treating are constantly being tested, al though the present finish is equal td that of any imported goods. The class of goods manufactured is varied, embracing in all forty-three en tirely different styles, from the coarsest goods used by the laboring classes, through misses' and boys' double-kneed school hose to finer 50-gauge 25-cent hosiery in fancy colors, dropstitch and lace effects, knit from costly imported cottons. The finish of the goods is unexcelled by any Southern mill and by few if any from the East. Every process from the, unloading of the yarn to the shipment of the finished product is watched with careful eyes by heads of departments. none of whom have lessthan three years of exDerience in their particular de partment. And so well is" the watchful care exercised that of their productUv from last July to the present not a dozen has been returned and not one cent has been allowed for inferior goods. In this connection lit might, be mentioned that an Indiana house who last -fall bought 2,500 dozen of one particular style has in the past few -days given an additional order for 5,000 dozen of the same style with instructions to ship 2,000 at once. As regards the finish of the products, the following extracts from two letters were shown us the first from the largest jobber In New Orleans, under date of January 13,? 1002: "We have just examined samples and beg to congratulate you on such a beau tiful make,- and we think, your claim is more than proved by the excellence of the goods." " Under date of February 7, their New York agent writes: "I want to compliment you upon the dye and finish that you have on you.r goods." These are samples of commendation for finish that the company is receiving constantly. The personnel of the company is as follows: President, W, W. Ashe, of the United States and North Carolina Geo logical Surveys? Secretary and General Manager. S. A. Ashe, Jr.; Superintend- nt. C. H. rate. , Mr. S. A. Ashe, Jr.. bejjan.as a mill iand at the Carraleigh Mills six years . igo. and after eight months' work there entered another mill as a hand to learn in detail the work of machinist, and later practical carding and spinning. His six years o'f experience has enabled him to become a -thoroughly skilled manu facturer, 'not only of hosiery, hut of yarns as well. Mr. C. H. Pate has been engaged in the manufacture of hosiery for the past isevcn years, the last five of which have been spent in superintending the mill of this company. He is thoroughly familiar with every detail of manufacture. The head knitter, Mr. It. S. Beavers, has not only been employed for several years in the shops of the company, build ing the knitting machines, but has suc cessfully run knitting rooms for many years. The head dyer and the boss of the ribber room have both been in the em ploy of the company for -five years and are unexcelled in their departments. The boss -finisher, Mr. Hill, and - two chief inspectors, Mrs. Forsy the and Mrs. Hudson, .have all worked in their several positions since the mill was moved to Raleigbthree years ago, and to their painstaking care is greatly due the suc cess, of" the mill. With an efficient office force and ex cellent salesmen, who are known to the trade, the personnel of the mill is rounueu up. . THE TOWN OF DUNN IS NOT YET DONE Still Advancing Along Indus trial and Commer cial Lines Mr. H. Li. Godwin, a prominent citizen of the town of Dunn, aj0 a rising young lawyer, is here attendiSl the Supreme Court. Asked by a Post man last night about the progress of his town, Mr. 'Godwin said : "Our town lias grown and continued to prosper along so many lines of ma terial development the traveling men who were there only a tS& short years ago declare that they hardly know the place. Quite a number of the wooden store chouses have been torn out and nice, new, handsome brick Structures have gone up in their stead. The Met ropolitan Opera House, completed only a few months ago, including two nicely arranged store rooms and an opera hall that will rival anything of the kind in ?vorth Carolina, is one of our nicest brick buildings, while the new Merchants and Farmers Bank building, to which nice store rooms are added, will do credit to any town in the State by three times the age of Dunn. Old things have been taken away and new things have sprung up to take their places, bringing with them 11 the advantages and equipments of modern times, and nien who once stood idle and Inactive appear to have visited the fountain of youth and taken on new life and inspiration. Every finger is pointing towards success. , 'Two banks, one hustling Democratic newspaper, six physicians, ten lawyers, with a host of ministers, coupled to a dozen or more up-to-date manufacturing establishments, behind which you will find at least seventy-five of the best busi ness men North Carolina can afford, with plenty of Uncle Sam's funds, will make any town spring up as if by magic and blossom like the roses, as ours has done in fifteen yeans. "We will have a cotton factory within the next six months. A cotton-seed oil company with a capital stock of $3,000 will soon be chartered, while only a few days ago the Oregon Chair Company was incorporated. 'I have not said anything, of the great steel bridge that spans the Cape Fear at Lillington, connecting both sides of Harnett county and bringing our good people in direct touch with each other, the new court house and the spirit of enterprise that pervades the entire county. ' "Our farmers are in good spirits. They will go forth in the spring and toil all summer, and the barns will be filled to overflowing with plenty in harvest time." " -t At bile nan Turned Yellow Great consternation w?3 felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yel low. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and he writes: "Af ter taking two bottles I was wholly Cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kid ney troubles. Only 50c. Sold by all druggists. ' And Would Want to Bnrn 'Em -t- (Durham Herald.)
