escaped its investigation. That paper
points out that within the last two
years the manufacture of cotton IN the South
has greatly increased; the total amounting
TO 361, 900 spindles, nearly one-third OF than
being in Georgia and South Carolina. The
following new mills we're built in 1881 and
organized for building in 1882 (spindles in
operation prior to 1881 are not included in
the list, as only the increase of 1872 Is in
cluded): In Georgia-At Augusta, the En-
terprise, the Sibly, the King, the Riverside,
and other mills near by, with total of 3d.,
900 spindles; at Columbus, the Eagle and
the Phoenix, and others near by, with total
of 1000 spindles; at Atlanta, the Fulton and
the Exposition, with a total of IL 900 spin
dies; at Rome, the Rome, with 1000 spin
dies; at Macon, the Bib, with 10000 spin
dies; add to these the increase of spindles
in other mills of the State, gives for Georgia
a total increase of 100000 spindles. In AL
abama-At Eufals, the Eufala, 1000 spin
dies; at Rock Mills, the Rock Mills, 5000
spindles; at Tuscaloosa and vicinity, 5000
spindles; at Admission. the Admission,
Adams, 1000 spindles; increase at
other mills 6OOO spindles; total increase
in Alabama, $4,000 spindles. In Tennessee:
At Nashville the Nashville, 10000 spindles;
the Tennessee, 10000 spindle; increase in
other mills 1000 spindles; total increase for
Tennessee, $4,000 spindles. In Mississippi:
At Wesson, the Mississippi, 10000 spindles;
at Water Valley, the Water Valley, 1000
spindles; at Csrrollton, the Csrrollton, TO-
900 spindles; increase in other mills, 5000
spindles; total increase in Mississippi, 3d.
600 spindles. In Louisiana: At New Or
leans, the Maginnis, 10000 spindlesi the
Lane, 1000 spindles; increasein other mills,
1000 spindles; total increase in Louisiana,
81 900 spindles. In North Carolina: AT
Graham, the Granite, 5000 spindles; the
Sampson, 10000 spindles; the Peedee, 5000
spindles; at Fayetteville the Manchester,
5000 spIndIes; at High Point, the Randle-
man, 5000 spindles; at Concord, Odell
& Co., 5000 spindles; the Charlottesville,
5000; increase at other mills, 10, 900 spindles;
total increase for North Carolina, $4,000
spindles. In Sozth Carolina: At Charleston,
the Charleston, 10000 spindles; al Spartan
burg, the Spartanburg, 10000 spindles; at
Greenville, the Pelzer. 10000 spindles; at
Increase, the Piedmont, 800 spindles; at
Spartansburg, the Clifton, 10000 spindles; at
Rock Hill, the Rock Hill, 10000 spindles;
Barber & Co, 5000 spindles; also the Orange
burg, 1000 spindles; the Sumpter, 5000 spin
dies; increase at other mills, 10000 spindles;
total increase in South Carolina, $4,000
spindles. The whole seven States show an
increase of 361, 900 new spindles. AT $27
spindle and twenty-five per cent. for operat-
ing capital this makes a total investment in
new cotton enterprises of S12,214,000. The
spindles work coarse numbers, producing
eight ounces or over a spindle, which
equals 10000 bales of cotton yesr. The
Eastern mills spin fine numbers of below
three ounces a spindle. 1t will require
million spindles East to equal the amount
above, therefore the increase in the spinning
of the South during 1882 equals
the entire capacity of all the mills OF Lowell,
when the mills building in other Southern
States are taken into account. Nine tenths
of these investments are Eastern capital; the
small influx from the North will probably
swell TO large volume as time demonstrates
the pro6tsbleness OF manufacturing the cot
ton where it is grown.
