/ GRANGER Co1Tds MILLs ~ THE
SouTp. The Atlanta Consultation
saws that several grangers in South
Carolina are combining TO bnild a
cotton rdill dh the Salnda river. Up
on this suggestion it proceeds TO urge
tie establishment of, first, cotton
yarn factories, "at every cross road
in the state" for the working np OF
its cotton productions, which can be
much more economically shipped "a
yarn than as raw cotton and, secs
ond, of regular cotton factories, as
the yarn mills shalr prosper and &C
cuhHlate capitdl as well as attract
both it and labor. and thus stimulate
the production Of cotton and all 9th,
er' agricultural products. by thus
making home market for them.
These mills, it says, will cost but ten
thousand dollars. and that amount of
money can be raised in any cotton
growing neighborhood. AS these ex>
perlhents prove successful aud the
opportunity offers, tie entire water
po oser OF the state is to be used for
tie propelIing Of cotton mills to take
the place Of these yarn 'mills, until
Georgia shall become the New En-
gland Of the south. There is much
good sense in these suggestions, and
it is to be hoped the experiment will
be tried.
