This mill has now been in opera
ton twenty two months, with results
highl, satisfactory to sll parties
concerned. The prophetic are re-
ceiving hundreds OF letters of in
quiry and many visitors, all Of whom
AZ far as | can find out, come away
under deep conviction.
There are already six mills using
the Clement attachment in success
ful operation, as follows;
Westminster, 5. C.-Westminis~
ter Manufacturing Co, proprietors.
Anderson, S. c. Harrison estate,
proprietors.
Windsor, N. C.-Harden, proprie>
tor.
Mathews Depot, G. C.-Grier &
Son, proprletors.
Corinth, Miss.--F. L. Whitfield,
proprietor.
Any one wishing to know farther
would refer them 10 J. V. Stribling
at Westminster. S. c., who is agent
for the sale Of the Clement attacks
nett for North Carolina, South Car
DINA and Georgia, and who is also
protector aod builder of new cotton
process mills.
I will again mention some Of the
advantages of this new industry
]. Ii will do away with the eX7
pense Of SO many gin houses, dam
gerous lint-rooms, cotton presses,
aud the tedious work connected
herewith.
,. 1t greatly lessons the risk of
fire from the fact OF the small quane
tity Of lint exposed.
,. 1t will save the expense of bag
ging and ties and much handling.
!. 1t makes a smoother and better
yarn than the compressed cottoo,
aad fiods q ready sale ct the mills
from the northern buyers.
>. It dispenses with the endless
clippings Of middle men, specula>
tors, weighing, marking, freights to
market, storage, stealage, sampling,
commissions, insurance, compress
ing, wharfage, etc,
6. 1t will employ . large number
Of women and children, whose labor
otherwise is almost vaIueieas.
Z. 1t will save to The country, to
be spent at home, the large margin
bet~ cen the raw material and tho
yarn.
S It will increase our population
and the money circulation aud afford
better educational and church priyi~
leges.
8. 1t viii enhance the value Of
real estate and increase the demand
for products from the farms.
10. 1t will attract capital from the
north, and draw machinery to the
material.
TO sum up, it IS the true key to
the wealth of the South. It wil
give life and thrift generally
throughout this section Of country.
It points to our financial salvation
and can by its workings make THU
the most desirable country on thi,
globe. d. u. SLOAN.

mill $50 to $50 pounds seed cottor
per day; yield 1870 to l75 pound,
yarn. SO, Gee will cover the cos
of machinery for mill Of 5000
pounds seed capacity, and more ex
tensive machinery can be run mor'
prohtably.
