Legislative Line-Up: Houses Against Dispensary Sways Senate

Greenville News notes Senate tally shifting as House foes of the state dispensary gain ground. It lists anti dispensary names, uncertain members, and a Senate split around 20 to 21 pro dispensary with county dispensary implications and party alignment across Aiken, Berkeley, Charleston, Greenville, and others. The piece frames Tillman as exaggerating counts and cites records on votes and potential shifts with Ansel and Lyon in play.

The Machinist Work Ranges From Needle To Battleship

A quotation from William Haddow in Technical World Magazine praises machinists for combining intelligence, precision, and delicate touch across tasks from needle work to battleship fabrication. It notes tight tolerances, like fifty thousandth inch accuracy, and explains how gauges fit so tightly that warmth alters fits, with earnings from $2.50 per day up to personal value.

Eels Close Down Water Wheel At High Shoals Plant

During heavy rains the mud filled waters of the South Fork Catawba river cause eels to travel and clog the electric grit dynamo at the High Shoals company. The gates were shut and eels chopped to free the water flow, as the machinery could not pass the eel blockage. The source notes the difficulty tracing the eel source.
