Our Manufacturing Interests.


This is especially true when asserted in
reference to their establishment here in the
South, where the pillow, the loom and the
anvil should be made to work together
We have the raw material in abundance,
and the mere cost of transportation to dis
tant points to be manufactured, would be
of itselfa vast saving, aud is an advantage
we undoubtedly possess.
We are gratifed to observe that this i'm
poFtant subject and prolific source of wealth
is more aud more attracting the attention
of our people, who begin to see the impor-
lance of making Investments in manufac-
turing branches of industry. Manufae
lures have made old England the work
shop of the world. and New England pow
erful and rich enough to control at present
the destinies of this great nation.
Our last Legislature chartered three
manu- featuring companies in Giles, to-wit
The Pulaski Manufacturing Company, the
Richland FIGURING Mill Company, and the
Elk River Manufacturing Company. The
first named company has already opened
books and over $50, 900 in stock has been
subscribed. The FIGURING Mill Company
will commence soliciting stock at an early
day we learn, and we believe the Elk River
Company had most if not all of its stock
taken before the charter was granted. Now
let our merchants and farmers and monied
men of all classes avail themselves of the
opportunity thus afforded to realize some
of the immense profits heretofore enjoyed
by New Englanders. Let the capital stock
of the Pulaski Manufacturing Company
be built up to at least 5000, 900. Facili-
ties that will enable as to beat Massachu-
sets even in the manufacture of cotton are
within our reach. We have the raw mate
rial, and there is at the present time ma
chine in operation at the Factory here,
which will enable US to work il up from the
seed, with great deal less expense than
it has ever been done here before or ever
can be done hereafter outside of the Cot
ton States. This machine is a recent Ten
nessee invention, and the first and only one
ever built. 1t is Que of the most wonder
full inventions of the age, and will undoubt-
eddy revolutiouize the country and cause
the transfer of Northern looms to tia Cot
chimes heretofore necessary IN ginning and
carding cotton, and requires only the pow
Der, labor and capital of one-thus saving
four ifths OF the capital necessary to sup
ply this important part of the machinery,
dispensing with four-ffth of the labor and
four ffths of the steam power heretofore
nece ssary to run it. Besides this it leaves
the fabric uninjured and as clean as 1t can
possibly be made. As this machine works
The material in state that will not bear
transp ortalion far, lin the seed }, New Eng
land cannot hereafter compete with US in
the manufacture Of cotton.
The Pulaski Manufacturing Company is
not limited to any particular branch or
branches of industry or to any particular
locality. Il has the right under the char
ter to extend its operations to any part of
the State and to any and all branches of in
dustry. 1t may establish Machine Shop
aud Foundry, to manufacture machinery.
including the new combination gin and
carder above mentioned, for it's own use
and for the use of others. After the cot
ton passes through the gin the lint may go
to the right through the sPindles into the
looms, and the seed to the left into an oil
press, the oil pass to the soap factory, and
the crushed seed made into cake for cattle
food, &C., DC. Thus the field of operations
is unlimited by anything except the
amount of capital our people see proper to
invest in it., --... -.-.
