Shelby, Nov. 7—Ora Mills is the name of a new 6,000 spindle textile plant to be erected two miles west of Shelby by J.R. Dover, president of East Side and Dover cotton mills and his associates. The capital stock is $400,000, all subscribed. Plans and specifications are now being made by J.E Sirrine and company, Greenville, S.C., and contracts will be let soon. The mill will manufacture semi specialties.
Joe C. Smith, wealthy secretary-treasurer of Shelby cotton mills, is critically ill at his home here with heart trouble. Mr. Smith formerly lived at Charlotte and Newton and is one of the most prominent and successful mill men in this section.
