GREENvILLE'S INDUSTRIES.
The magnificent water power of this
section has been extensively utilized, and
| steam has also been called into reQmsi-
! ton by numerous manufacturing con-
Germs. We give few statistics obtained
from the managers OF the several estab-
| lishments.
The Piedmont antCamperdown cotton
mills are both under the charge of Presi-
dent II. p. Hammett, who thus reports
them: The Piedmont runs 230,024 spin
dies, $40 looms, and employs $50 opera
tives. The annual consumption of cotton
IN bales is 1880, and the output in cloth
100000 of Yards.
The Camperdown fsot6ry, which spins
thread only, uses 1900 bales of cotton.
and gives employment to 200 hands. The
product in yarns is 1850, 900 pounds.
The Eueenot Mills. of which G. E. Ora
ham Is president, and G. FL. Launean su-
| perintendent and treasurer. is the only

The wagon and carriage factory of Mr..
IL. Q. Marley is also richly deserving of
notice.. This gentleman is one of the best
citizens in GreenviAe. and his establish
ment was started IN 1885 by Thomas NJ.
Cox, and has continued to flourish ever
since. He constructs 400 vehicles annu-
ally at an outlay of $4,000, and employs
forty mechanics.
THE COTTON SEED MILL,
with A. 5. Duncan president and j. NJ.
Harris treasurer and manager. is another
important industry. No less than 264, 600
bushels of cotton seed were expressed the
last season, yielding 2,S00000 pounds OF
meal and cake, and 100000 gallons of
crude oil, which sells at an average price
of 22c. per gallon.
The ice factory, too, which is capable
! of turning out seven tons per day of this
indispensable comfort, with G.. II. Judson
as president and II. HI. Jillson manager,
is making a remarkably pure article from
| distilled water by the ''Pr0tet" process.
The National Bank of Greenville Is one
OF its most stable and useful institutions.
Mr.. Hamlin Beattie is president and
William e. Beattie cashier. The paid-up
capital IS 100000, and the reserve funA
and unclaimed dividends reach the sur
prsing figure of $4,000. Verify this is
good stock to own.
THE COTTON RECEIPTS
of GreenVille, including the amount pur-
chased and consumed by her factories,
are all of 10000 bales, and there is an.ap-
pearance Of business activity on the
streets rarely to be seen at this season OF
the year in any Southern city. The
churches are nine III number -four color
ed and some Of them, notably the Presbv-
terrain, Episcopal and Baptist, are elegant
and commodious structures. In the
cemetery Of the Episcopal church, OF
which Gen. Ellison Capers, son OF
Bishop Capers is rector, many magnificent
monuments are to be seen. Conspicuous
among these ia that of Harry Perry, a
son of the Ex-Governor, who was q mid
shipman IN the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and died in 1860.
