Rock ISLAND Mills The Rock Island
Wooden Mills, at Charlotte, ought to be
sustained by the people Of the State. far
and near. We learn from the Times that
these mills are now turning ont as beauti-
ful and fashionable fabrics as can be had
IN any market III the country, and, accord
ing TO quality, as cheap. This IS IN at
tempt ct. Southern independence IN the
right direction, and If we wish ever to be q
growing, thriving community, all must en-
courage it, not by words OF commentator
bat by acts. Every merchant Of this city
should buy his whole stock there, for by so
doing he enables the mills to employ large
force, who have TO be supplied with all the
articles that are kept here for sale. In that
way money is kept IN the country and IN
circulation among us, thus giving an in
creased and continued impetus to all
branches of trade. Every motive that can
sway the minds OF a people IS nov appealed
TO 70 encO rage aud sustain these enter
prises at home. We hope the President OF
the comnany viii mako the public more
generally acquainted with the mills and the
quality Of their manufactures.
