Parrott Leads in Cotton Gins and Local Enterprise
Prominent Parrott figures drive growth with three cotton gin neries, two round-lap systems under Mayor John C. Whaley and manager C. M. Frincston. The round-lap method saves freight and weight loss, improves fiber quality, and fetches higher prices. Also highlighted are Dr. J. C. Bett of Belt Bros. and Dr. J. H. Williford, proprietor of Williford drug store, among Parrott’s rising developers and Wm. Morgan, a successful young merchant with strong cash patronage.

Divorces to be Limited by Rhode Island Clergy
Rhode Island clergy led by Episcopal Bishop W W Maarthur plan to tighten divorce restrictions by refusing marriage to divorcees across denominations. About 360 clergymen in the state, over 200 in agreement, aim to complicate remarriage for divorced individuals to strengthen ecclesiastical standards. The pact targets interdenominational marriages and seeks to preserve innocence in cases of infidelity.
