ceived and contents noted. We are run
ming two Clement attachments. We
have been running about three months.
The attachments cost $500 each. We
are running E6l2' spindies, costing; at
Bridesburg, Pa, 50 per spindle. Two
top fat-cards cost 1925 each; earl cloth-
Ing $50; one drawing frame, six 1eliy-
cries, six into, one, $6O0;- one:.block list
speeder. 1850; two reels, forty spindles
each, $3.50; one cotton cleaner, So. 100
Fifteen-horsc power is sufticientt to run
the above. machinery. We nse 1000
pounds Of seed cotton per day, and
make an average Of 800 pounds Of yarn
daily. We work ten handsome engi-
neer at 81 per days. one foreman, 81;
four girls at SO cents, and four girls at
40 cents each. We consume three
fourths of a cord Of wood per day at
$l.25 per cord. Our mill nets us from
So to $40 per day. We get from l6 to
IN cents per pound for our yarn. We
sell in Norfolk, Va, Baltimore, Nd,
and New York.
The new process has an advantage of
half over the old. We dispense with
the lint-room aud all the. machinery
used therein. We do three times Ms
much work on Our card as can he done
on the same card In the. old process
The cotton Is never allowed to fly or
leave the machine tintil,it passes off in
to silver, or continuous roll, into re-
volving can. The profits are more titan
double that of the old PROCESS. We on.
ly use four machines from the field tn
make perfect thread Except the cotton
cleaner, which can he dispensed WITH
There are about ten machines III the old
! process, taking the cotton in the seed.
We run by steam; and think it cheap
er than water. Everything considered.
your mill the greater will be your pro-
fits, as the expense does not increase In
proportion. The main object is to find
out how much seed CO. ton y0n can get,
and build your mill accordingly Que
great beauty in the Clement attachment
Is that you can build on very small
scale and make it profitable, and anotll-
er is that the Northern people cannot
utilize 1t because they can't get seed
cotton, ana therefore they are down on
it and doing all they can against it,
We sell our seed at eight cents per
bushel to the farmers. Our machinery
is all new and of the latest and best
improved. Secondhand machinery can
be bought for half the money, and a
cheaper class of machinery can BIZ
1 bought, but always prefer the best, Il
1t costs little more. Bridesbnrg Man
ufacturing Company, No. 69 Nortl,
Front street, Philadelphia, Penn, is
! the address Of the firm that, I bought
our nacllfiiery from. Any Information
that can give sou In the future will be
done, with pleasure. ] hope to live to
see the day when every pound Of cotton
raised in the South will be M.nufac.
t,,red in the South; then we will be-
come Il prosperous people. We have
iaho'e,l long enough to tenriell the
North, and TOW, it is time Our eyes
were opened to our own Interest Let
the know what success you meet with.
