A New Disease."Tango-foot" is the name given to

a new trouble by Dr. (\. F. Koehme,Jr., of New York. It belongs to therapidly growing class of occupationaldiseases, which are represented by"housemaid's knee" and "miner's elbow,"but in this case the specialovertaxing is due to the moderndance, especially the tango and themaxixe, which call for great exerciseof the ankle muscles. At the timeof the report, seven cases had beenseen.

BUFFALOMr. Editor: Will you please allow '

me space in your valuable paper tosay a few words in praise of one ofthe best and most home-like milltowns in the State, if not in theSouth. This magnificent mill is fourmiles west of Union, on the WestSpring road and just six miles fromthat famous and ever-flowing springwhere people come from far and nearto imbibe of the waters of that notedcrystal spring. This is a beautifuland costly structure, and one of thelargest and best equipped in thecountry. Has 63,000 spindles,» 2,001looms and consumes 70 hales a dayor about 21,000 bales annually. Itrequires about 850 operatives to runthe mill, and the weekly pay roll is$5,000. This great enterprise is underthe able supervision and management of Mr. O. F. Bennett, whocame here from Massachusetts aboutone year ago. He is a mill man ofripe experience and much ability and

. under his wise supervision many ben^eficial changes and various improvementshave been made and the millis now in a prosperous and fiourish!ing condition. Mr. Bennett is notonly a prominent figure in mill cir,cles, but he is prominently identifiedwith the various enterprises of Union.He is a man of a pleasing per'sonality, very considerate and easyto approach. He is popular with everyone and is held in high esteemfrom the superintendent down to thedoffer.The superintendent, Mr. H. K.

Drew, is also from Massachusetts,> coming here about the time Mr. Bennettdid. He, too, is a man of longexperience and thoroughly acquaintedwith the mill business. He comesamong us highly recommended andhas made a very favorable impresision unon those with whom he comes

in daily contact, and is indeed pop- 1ular with the operatives.Mr. Drew is ably assisted by Mr. |W. B. Todd, one of the coming young

mill men of the country, having come jhere from Anderson -about nine years (ago, during which time he has heldsome of the most difficult and re-sponsible positions connected with the i

mill, which he filled very creditably jand satisfactorily. He has done,and is doing, much for the upbuild- jing and maintenance of the place,morally and socially. He is active

,in church work and everything per- Jtaining to good. He is an elder in '

the Presbyterian church. '
