The Clarksville Chronicle, one of the best
papers of which the State can boast, refers
to our proposed cotton factory as follows
We see it stated in the Bulletin that S32,-
600 have been subscribed for tho building
of a cotton factory in Bolivar. The citizens
of that town are on the right road to recon-
structien, and We wish them a prosperous
march in that direction. We trust, too, that
they will not, ike some other localities, give
up in dispalr because they cannot build up
g Lowell at single dash. If, as we sse it
stated, factory can be built at a cost of
thirty dollars to the spindle, the sum SUBJ
scribed will put in operation an amount of
machinery that will prove seifcreative and
will, with good management, grow to any
magnitude that may be deemed profitable.
The great mistake, in undertakings of this
sort and new to the people, is that they aim
too high, and because they can't, at once,
attain the maximum, abandon the project
altogether. 1t is always safest and wisest
to experiment on a small scale and when
success is assured, the means of enlarging
are more readily obtained. Success gives
confidence, and confidence commands capi-
tai Let the good people of Bolivar go to
work with the stock subscribed, but having
an eye to prospective enlargement of capital
ana machinery, and we predict for them
successful career In that line of industrial
enterprises to which Tennessee and the
South must owe their future independence
and prosperity.
