Up.cOuntry Enterprise.

Several citizens of Walhalla formed O
company & short while ago to establish q
cotton factory. They have just got the
machinery and begun operations on a
small scale. The keo,uce (Walhalla) C5t-
rier thus speaks Of it.:
The Westminster Mills have two spin
ming frames with 264 spindles, one. fourth
of which are not yet running for the want
Of some necessary equipments. They
expect TO start them soon. They are
now turning out from % to "a lunches
of yarn per day and expect, when the
other spindles are started, to exceed 80
lunches per day. They employ eight
operatives, seven females and one male,
which will be ample to run all the ma
chinery. They started with only one
experienced hand, but all the operatives
are now we'll up to their business. They
have Us Intelligent s::d neat set of en-
ployees as we have ever seen, all appear
ing to be healthy and in good spirits.
The company have built several neat
tenement houses and n cotton house and
everything looks thrifty and business like.
The cost of the cotton machinery
proper Is about $4,000, the building be.
ing matter of fancy. The company
has on hand about rs, 900 pounds of seed
cotton, enough to run them until the
new crop. They will spin annually one
hundred and fifty TO two hundred thou.
sand pounds. To this time they have
spun about II bales of yarn which they
retail at SO cents bunch cash.
There is obliged to be money in this
business for the stockholders and also
fo- the country. It is within the reach
OF three or four citizens in every neigh.
borhood, and we would like to see the
business extended. Col. +. E. Harrison
started the first one near Andersonville
and the Westminster Company has now.
