Flour Made Here Annually,
That there are nt least 10,000
bar.-els of flour, 100,000 pounds
of ship stuff and 15,000 bushels
of corn meal manufactured In
Kings Mountain each year may
- besTonfianY ppTe . who
reallv do not know t what our
town is doing. Well, It is being
done. The above startling figures
. represent the annual output Qf
the Kings Mountain Roller Mills,
owned by W. ; A. Ware.
About .40 of this flour or 4,000
barrels is made on exchange for
the farmers of the vicinity and
3.000 bushels of "corn meal Is
made on the same plan, the old
time toll plan when we dammed
up the the branch and made a
mill, the balance (foes on the
'.market and bo ; it -said to. the
credit of the town and of the
mill, about one half that goes on
the market is handled by Kings
Mountain merchants. Besides
the flour and meal departments
a crushing millis operated."
The outfit is complete and up-
. to date. It was as good as- the
most roller mills before the re-'
cent improvements wpre made
but a little less than a year ago
the company decided to o verhaul
the mill. Thev went at it with a
determination to put her In Al
ship shape and as a result ex
pendod $7,200 in repairing .and
improving the plant. .
The Kings Mountain Roller
Mill was first started in the year
1882 by R. C. G. Love and W. O.
Wire In about two weeks W. O.
Ware and his son, W, A." Ware,
the, present owner, bougjfy Mr.
Love's interest, Inl89a tbefyant
was burned and rebuilt againn
. 1808. At the time of the refiuild
ingW. L, Plonk and J. P. Kiser
bought two-thirds interest. Abouf
the year 1903 Mr. Kiser. sold his.
interest back. to thejjompany
and only a few days a.go Mr. W.
A. Ware bought the . balance of
stock and now owns, the- entire
stock of the'plant. :
: Ever since this enterprise was
launched it has made money. It
has done a high class business
'and the people have shown their
appreciation by their hearty Sup
port. Mr.- Sam Shumaker for
the past eight years has been
the miller and he lias , done so
well, has turned out such good
bread stuff, that folks just had
to have it to eat and the business
has prospered. Not only that,
but the splendid equipment of
the'plant and the strict business
integrity of the managers have
counted tor success.
The enterprise has one great
hindrance that will likely be re.
moved in the not distant future.
'AH the grain shipped ia haS; to
be hauled from the etfrs to the
mill. The ideal would.be to have
a spur running out from the
'JMroftd to the m'ill soV that the
V? 'JMjouid be taken into the
'mVMthoqt ce-loading and haal
in?- A movement is on foot to
have tl4Q spur bujt, J;t.fJt.-i.

Knocked Him Ten Feet High
And Then Laughed At Him
Ralph Ware, Kings Mountain,
Earr Hamrlck-andA ardifvBob
erts, of Shelby, and Gfady Cash
of Gaffney, S. C, are each under
a five hundred dollar' bond' for
their appearance at Esquire
Kendrick's court here Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 charged with
overspeeding and reckless driv
ing of an automobile in and near
Kings Mountain Sunday after
noon. It was a serious affair.
The above named men together
with a lady were coming down
theGrover road toward Kings
Mountain about sundown Sunday
in an automopile at a rapid rate-
eye witnesses say 55 or sixty
miles per hour. Just as" the cat-
was about to approach the rail
road crossing near Sevier mill
it came in contact with a bnggy
occupied, by Mr J. W. Howell,
a farmer o,f Bethlehem section
who is about ,80 years old. It
struck one of the rear wheels of
the buggy and demolished it
and the blow sent Mr. Howell
ab'ou ten feet In the air-according
to eve-witnesses. The . mon
looked back and laughed. Mr.
Howell came down with his back
striking the wheel of the buggy
he blow rendering him uncons
cious. It seems that Mr. Howell
had pulled out practically clear
of the road and on the outside
of the.cnrve at that and that ther
was absolutely no reason for the
collision, except that charged in
the warrant reckless" driv ing,'".
The automobile went on with
relentless speed, took some round
about way and skeed-addled. A
number of eyewitnesses tcV' the
tragic act went to the assistance
of the victim.
With Attorneys S. J. Durham
of Gastonia, and E. L. Campbell
for the prosecution and O. Max
Gardner and McBrayer of Shel
by for the defense, the case was
called before Esquire G. W Keii-
drick Monday afternoon. A1J the
defendants had been put under
bond and all. were present "ex
cept Mr. Cash :. who wired that
he would arri ve on Number 12.
Examination was 'waived r and
the case continued until Satur
day to await developments : with
Mr. Howell whose condition is
said to be somewhat precarious
mr. uasn a. iatner arrivea ' on
Number 12.'
