Mt,   Pieasani's   New   Industry
Fairly Unc^er Way,
While in Mt. Pleasant Friday a
Sentinel representative was "by the
courtesy of Supt. D. JS*. Wieand
shown through the new condensed
milk factory, and a most interesting
hour it proved.
The main building is constructed
of brick and is two stories high. It
is 70x276 feet with an annex used as
a receiving room 24x28 feet, also two
stories. This with an office nicely
arranged and neatly furnished 24x28
feet, and a machine shop comprise
the plant.
The capacity of the plant is 50,000
pounds daily, and it will eventually
put out this amount of finished product, but unfortunately just now the
eity water supply is low and it has
been found necessary for the company to put down wells and draw
part of its own supply of water. It
takes fifty thousand gallons of wate r
daily to run the plant up to its capacity. The water is used for cooling
the milk.
The plant now puts out daily 13,000
pounds of evaporated milk and 11,000
pounds of condensed milk. This requiring a force of 38 people and besides there are 14 drivers employed
in collecting. When the plant gets
in regular operation fifty teams will
b,e kept on the road and another department will be installed, that of
making their own cans.
Supt. Wieand is an expert in his
his line and keeps things running a-
bout the institution like clock work.
He has had years of experience in
the business and is well regarded by
his patrons.
Mt. Pleasant is fortunate in getting
this factory located, if she did slip &
cog on the sugar factory.

GSPEO SERIOUS I8JURY.
Mrs. Fabian Hinkle Has Runaway Experience. •
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Fabian
Hinkle, living three miles west of the
city, drove a four-year-old colt to
town and was on west Third street
when the colt became frightened at
an east bound P. M.' train. As the
unmanageable anima^ got onto McEwan street so thick were the rigs
that a head-on collission resulted.
Mrs, Hinkle was thrown violently to
the ground, the thills were broken
and the horse made for up town but
was fortunately**stopped before doing
much damage. Mrs. Hinkle was
take'n to the office of the Olare Boiler
Mill and Dr. Gray called. While she
was quite badly bruised it is now
thought she is not seriously injured.
She was'taken to tbe home of Miss
Emma Neimeyer where she remained until able to go to her home.
