JOHNSTON MILL
407 E. 36th St.
It might not look like it now, but in its heyday Johnston Mill was one of the busiest mills in Charlotte.
Built in 1916 by textile magnate C. W. Johnston to meet the growing demand for cotton goods like uniforms and bandages for the troops fighting in World War I, the mill was one of the last mills built in Mecklenburg County. Part of the mill was built on the land of the existing Mecklenburg Mill; when the entire site was completed it had 12,000 spindles making cotton. The existence of other mills in the area meant there were already mill houses and stores nearby, so no mill village was built dedicated to the Johnston Mill. The mill continued to prosper after the war and, in 1926, the complex underwent a significant expansion. The Johnston family ran the mill until 1975 (after C. W. Johnston retired in 1938, his son, R. Horace Johnston, took over and was succeeded by his son, David R. Johnston, in 1951). The Johnston Memorial YMCA (located at 3025 N. Davidson St.) was erected in honor of C. W. Johnston. The mill was used as a storage facility for a brief period in the 1980s then remained unused until it was converted into an apartment complex in the 1990s. The two-story building retains its brick facade, oversized multi-paned windows, and the painted Johnston Mill sign over the front door.
You, the Five Nations Confederate Lords, be firm so Garland Map that if a tree falls on your joined arms it shall not separate or weaken your hold. Garland Map So shall the strength of the union be preserved. 59. A bunch of wampum shells on strings, three spans of the hand in length, the upper half of the bunch being white and the lower half black, and formed from equal contributions of the men of the Five Nations, shall be a token that the men have combined themselves into one head, one body and one thought, and it shall also symbolize their ratification of the peace pact of the Confederacy, whereby the Lords of the Five Nations have established the Great Peace. The white portion of the shell strings represent the women and the black portion the men. The black portion, furthermore, is a token of power and authority vested in the men of the Five Nations. This string of wampum vests the people with the right to correct their erring Lords. In case a part or all the Lords pursue a course not vouched for by the people and heed not the third warning of their women relatives, then the matter shall be taken to the General Council of the women of the Five Nations. If the Lords notified and warned three times fail to heed, then the case falls into the hands of the men of the Five Nations. The War Chiefs shall then, by right of such power and authority, enter the open council to warn the Lord or Lords to return from the wrong course. If the Lords heed the warning they shall say, we will reply tomorrow. If then an answer is returned in favor of justice and in accord with this Great Law, then the Lords shall individually pledge themselves again by again furnishing the necessary shells for the pledge. Then shall the War Chief or Chiefs exhort the Lords urging them to be just and true.
