The story In itself Is not of prime " importance, since the mill was com-, paratively small), but this is not the first of such items that have ar*>ear-! od concerning Huntsville. textile mills. Huntsville is strongly unioniz-J ctl, and it might be interesting to[ textile workers of the South to read the editorial (which appeared in the Smooth gotnf makes him ? star performer ea skis.

Local wills employed thousands of pec pie. This was one of the most prosperous areas in the South. There was a splendid balance of manufacturing and agriculture. The established here so as to be at the source of supply, and to escape the cost of shipment of their raw product consumed thousands of bates of cotton bought on the public i'niiitfv Then the Helen Mill, employing 1 few hundred, shut down, never to re open. It hat been - Junked. and its four walls stand as a scarecrow on the city's western border. Those Jolts are gone forever! Cater, the Cowe MIU closed. It employed 700 or 800 and had a payroll that supported 3.000 or 4,000! souls. Ita machinery has been sold and shipped away, and its walls and! roof are now used for cotton storage It will never reopen. The relief problem in this community. which has been a steadily grow-j Ing one. began when the. Cowe Mill stopped* operation, for there hhave never been enough Jobs in the other mills since that time to give work to all those thrown out of employment. Those Jobs are gone FOREVER! A few months ago, the Fletcher; Mill, which provided obs for 200 or 250 pet pie. also shut down. This meant the loss of meat and bread for. perhaps a thousand more people. This mill is now being dismant led. and the machinery is being sold and shipped oway. ... Those Jobs are gone KORJ2VER! Whatever the reasons ? financial, economic, bad management, or labor (we shall not attempt to assess the blame) ?for the ciosing of HelenJ Lowe and Fletcher Mills, the fact Is that they are closed and Junked. The important thing is that there, are 1,000 less Jobs here than there! were formerly, that 5,000 people; have lost the source of their dally| meat and bread, and that It hasj brought our relief problem to stagger fug proportions. Now the Dallas Mill, third largest in this textile area, employing In the past 800 or more,' and" providing i " ' iembers' own advertising Mi ' ^ t means a lot i good beer! irewera who have 3 the duly constituted ination of anti-social , 5 F beer." \ ! 3 rs who, through The ctice, have pledged imotion of D radical . y with all thoughtful forcement of existing s operating illegally I >f beer to minors... or to persons who I i' v *. .

The Dallas Mill la 0n dbe eve of llQuadatlon, selling out lock, stock and barrell If tbla takes place, no longer will ita whistle, that has been blowing Cor a half century to summon It# employees to their dally Jobs, sound its shrill blast each morning! The mill's Investment of more than 2 million dollars la In grave dan ger of being taken out of this community Into which It coma first it years ago. Its payroll of over $500,000 a year will stop KO ltl?Y Kit, unless something Is done In the next few weeks to prevent the mill's liquidation. 1 ""mrnrnw iwwitifi J'mwi'u.ir mothers boys and girls ? who havoj lived In the Dallas village, and who. have worked' perhaps It years on an average in this mill, will be thrown! out In the worhf, without Jobs, and hot a chance of getting any! If tbio mill la , allowed to clone those jobs are loat FOREVER! , Not for a week, or a mouth, or a year, but FOREVER! The mill will go the route of Helen, Lowe and Fletcher Mills. Bear that in mind. Have not a dcubt about it. It la aa certain as that the suit will rise tomorrow morn log and set again tomorrow evening. There won't be any more arguments about hours, or wages or seniority, or this or that. Whatever is of value will be dismantled: and sold to the high dollar. Us 240 houses. bumble as they are, Us Y. M. C. A., its school, its ball" park, will be put up to the highest bidder. There will be left Just a big old brick building, empty and1 bare ? a deserted village ? and the memory of what was once a happy community! . .No longer will the Dallas Mill con tlnue to buy each year thousands of [ bales of Madison County cotton, to process. No longer will hundreds of families be here to buy the products of the farmers of Madison county. No longer will there be a Dallas Mill Corporation to pay 130,000 taxes each year, mostly for the support ofj our county government. All the above is not o hysterical picture. It li u true as Holy Writ. It is not overdrawn one iota. It is the bare, naked, Inexorable fact! The minutes and hours and days are tiekering away. There are not many left in -which this mill can be saved from liquidation! The situation requires cool heat^ \ clear thinking, sober sense by (hose whom it involves moat directly. Passion, hatred*, prejudice, violent action should be absolutely banned. They have never accomplished or settled anythng, and they never oflllt Thbey have brought, in. all times and ages, only hurt and damage and ever, lasting loss. And the only people who cap stop this disaster that is at their door are hose who have worked for years in the Dallas Mill! Are they going to throw a Way this last opportunity, and avert life-long povqrty. hunger and distress for themselves and their families? Each and every man, woman and eMia in Dallas village mnst make an Individual decision, and it />ught to be made with eyes wide open, and minds clear and free of hatred, passions or suspicion. It ought to be a decision that in years to come will not be bitterly re sret/ted, and that will not be a source of sorrow and - suffering.?Textile Bulletin. deorge Wallls, farm superintendent . of the Biltwore Dairy, Farms in Bune)ombe county, (has planted 70 cres of Sudan grass at the rate of 0 pounds of seed an acre to provide ummer grazing *. ??
