FROM the GAINESVILLE Gazette's article
about the cotton mill, in lis city: "The
official reports show that during the past
year there have been manufactured
1858 bales, making 110,776 pieces, or
s,350,901 yards. Few can grasp such
figures, but it will give perhaps better
idea of this production to state that the
factory in producing this amount has
manufactured a web long enough to
reach across the continent, which
proves a mammoth sheet for one years
work. The cash value of the goods thus
manufactured reaches 1910, 1893. TO-
There were consumed in this production
1898 bales of cotton, having a total
weight of 1888, 264 pounds, and it cost
$186,1S8. The pay roll is by no means a
small item, as many of our merchants
whose trade is thus increasing can testify.
The monthly pay roll averaged SIS, 85l.45,
, giving grand total of 0,2l7.46 dis
bursed during the winter months"
