COTTON FACToRIEs,--THE CLEMENT
ATTACHMENT.


Some weeks since, we, as we have done
frequently before rprged the questionlol
the erection, ofcotton factories in this
section upon the attention Of our capee
talists; with the more earnestness IN oui
last appeal, because the application ofthe
i element Attachment" seemed 10 give
the idea greater feasibility. The subject
has been discussed here and some asser-
tiOns having been male that there could
be no economy iii'the use of the ATTACH
/ ment because. as asserted, 1t was nothing
I more than an "attachment" 10 the lisia
machinery of ,coltpn factories; and ,rn7.
willing to give UP fhe hope we had
cherished that some tangible method had
been reached by which fhe county might
be aroused from its leihargy and awakened
to Its interests, we nd Jrested letter to the
editor ofthe "Patrpn of Husbandyy' at
Memphis, whohas most promptly, kindly,
and intalligently responded III the sub-
joined letter, which we submit without
comment to our readers, believing that
they will find the questions they them.
