10 Georgia, the Roswell Company has been
very successful, laying regularly from ten to
fourteen per cent dividends. and extending
their works. There are a number OF estao'
lishmeuts in North Alabama and Western
Tennessee that have been eminently success
full, among them the Bell Factory near Hunts
vile, which has for many years been paying
large profits from the manufacture OF various
kinds of plsids, checks, tickings, &c, which
command in the markets where they sell
higher price than those from any other factory.
All their operatives are negroes, owned by the
company. Their establishment is now worth
some 100000. Martin Weekly 4 Co., near
Florence, Alabama, have succeeded equally
AS we'll. They commenced about ten years
ago with one small factory; in few years
they built second, larger than the fret, and
during this past summer have COMPLETED a
third and very extensive one. In 1888 they
cleared fifty per cent on their investments.
