The Louisville Journal tha, there are in flll on
Grafton at Columbus, Georgia, four cotton mills
with capital Of $4,000 and employing $50
hands In these miles are 1896 spindes and
near 400 looms. Another cotton mill has re.
Gently been completed, intended to be worked
by slaves, and which is said to be much erser
'han either OF the other form; but it has not vel
gone into operation. There are also in Colum,
bus and its immediate vicinity cotton gin manu-,
factory which turns out 1900 gins annually. a
very extensive FIGURING mill, and two founderies
and machine shops.
The Editor of The Clinton (La,) Floridian has
an interesting sketch of tie Woodyille, Miss.
co"on factory, which is said to be turning out
$4,000 yards of cotton cloth per week. Four
thousand sp'ndles are constantly employed. The
capitol invested is $4,000 profits about fifty
