We are glad to learn that the company
contemplate filling the balance of their
mill with machinery during the coming
Spring and Summer and are indebted to
Col. Hammett for the following state
ments and explanations which we add,
showing the capacity and production of
the mill when the original plans are car
ried out.
There are now in the I'd, Sd and 4th
stories, in full operation, 2 Lappers, 4S
Cards, 6 Fly Frames, $500 spindles and
112 looms, with water wheel, shafting,
betting, slasher, boiler, tools and all ne
cessary preparatory machinery and FIX
lures.
To fill the three stories according to the
original plan will require an addition of
Lapper, 4S Cards, 6 Fly Frames. 1924
spindles and 124 looms, making the cloth
mill when complete to consist Of Lap
pers, 96 Cards, IL Fly Frames, TIA
spindles and 240 looms.
The first story, containing floor ca.
pacity of 10000 square feet is designed
for yarn mill and cloth room, the for.
mer of which will consist of 36 cards and
1872 spindles, with all the preparatory
machinery.
The average daily production of the
mill when flled0with machinery accord.

above, at the same rate per spindle and
per loom, that the machinery now run

The cost of the balance of the machin-
cry and fixtures to be added will be much
less in proportion to the whole cost, than
that which is now in operation, because
the real estate, water power, dam, canals,
wheel, heavy shafting and betting, boiler,
tenement houses, &C., &C., are all COM
pleted and in position, besides many of
the machines will not be required to be
duplicated when the mill is filled. The
percentage of profit upon the whole in
yestment will also be increased in like
proportion becauae many of the items
of expense and cost of production will
not be required to be increased, and 9TH
ers not in the same proportion, and the
cost of manufacturing the goods will be
decreased correspondingly.
The water power is all controlled, and
is ample, without additional expense, it
is believed, to drive all the spindles now
running in South Carolina, with looms
to weave the entire production. Every
thing has been constructed in the most
substantial and durable manner, with a
view topermanency and convenience, and
will we'll repay a visit, to see the place
with its sarroundings.-GrcenviNe Daily
