Jc* af WUaknyln Mail Bag. »iWOCw.Ctol«a»OWtmt. Postoffice Inspector Davis made a curious discovery at the railroad village of Spout Springs. Be found that railroad postal clerks were bringing jugs of whiskey about three bmn a week to the postmaster there in mail pooches. He watched and finding that a jug would prob ably arrive ou a certain day, walked to the train got •board, as If be were going away. As be walked by the mail car, he saw the clerk watching him very keenly. The clerk knew him, though the postmarter did not. Both clerk and past-master thought Davis was going away on the train to out came a pouch with a jug in it, the pouch regularly ad with mail therein, ly Davis stepped off the train just as the postmaster was taking the carefully held big. As the postmaster walked to riie office, carrying the bag very carefully, Dams went along with him, while the mall clerk with a ghastly face stared at the two. On arrival at the office the postmaster invited Davis to walk into the back room, bat Davis went directly into the office. The postmaster still holding the bag upright and with great care opened it, and took out the letters, then booked it to a nail. Davis then said to him, "You haven’t got all the mail out.” The postmaster saw the jug was discovered and said inj a weak and trembling voice, "It’s In there.” Datis has the bag and jog. as evidence. The whiskey seems to have come from a regular distillery, and not from an illicit one. Wireless System Ur West ladies. Wasfciastoa IW.

Dallas is to bare another cot ton mill. It was organized there Wednesday by Messrs. J. D. Moore, of Gastonia, Cbas. J. Webb, of Philadelphia, and others. The mill is to be equipped with 5,000 spindles for fine yarns from 4j0’s to 60's. The capital stock is $80,000 with privilege of increasing to $150,000. Officers were chosen as follows: President, T. M. Fayssoux, of Gastonia. Vice-President, J. B. White, of Dallas. Treasurer and Manager, J. D. Moore, of Gastonia. Secretary, Robert S. Lewis, ol Dallas. General Superintendent, J. 0. White of Gastonia. Local Superintendent, FredH. Robinson, of Dallas. A beautiful site for the mill was purchased on the day of or ganization. It is the William Holland place of 65 acres, sooth of Dallas rind Gaston College, which includes the chimp of tall pines just this aide of Dallas. Where these pines now stand on either side of the macadam road the mill cottages will be built. The factory will be located be tween the pines and the Carolina and North-western Railway. The site is large enough for two mills, and Capt. Moore, the manager, says that a second mill may be built there one of these name of the new factory will be the Morowebb Colton Mill, from the names of Capt. Moore and Mr. Cbas. J. Webb, a commission man of Philadel phia, who owns a large block of the new stock. This new enterprise is another evidence of the organising and executive capacity of Captain Moore. Among the original stockholders of the first mill built in Gastonia in 1807, he or Stored and built the Modena in 13. Later, the Modena was doubled, then be built a new mill at Lenoir, which he now manages. A few months ago the Dallas cotton mill was reor ganised and added to tba list uadar Cant. Moon's manage maat. The Morowebb will make lour mills under his supervision and control la three different towns—all handsomely profitable properties—and his services are being sought la other towns.
