A success nj Entsrpr iss.

The success of the Piedmont Cotton
Mills Company, near Greenville, s
c., is credited to Its managers. The
directors have just decided to erect
another mill, which will be equipped
with $4,000 spindles and 400 looms
When the new mill is completed the
Piedmont Company will have plant
OF nearly 10000 spindles, 5000 OF
which are on yarn that is not woven,
and over 1000 looms. The combined
mills will consume annually between
Is 900 and 20, 900 bales of cotton The
company " i'll then have about / 900
people ON its payroll. The plant will
be worth more than 81, 900, 600, whilst
the capital is only $500. 900, the re-
mainder having been provided from
surplus earnings after the payment OF
reasonable dividends. The money ior
the new mill is already in hand.

The old "Buck and Game road " leaves
Manchester formerly Rocky Ridge on
the present line of the Coal-Pit Turn
pike, thence by Powbatan Courthouse to
Cumberland Courthouse, thence by
Raine's Tavern 10 New Store, in Buck

Spring and Chiton's, and then by the
present turnpike to Lynchburg Chen
called Lynch's Ferry.
| write this to vindicate and preserve
the truth of history and retain the
rights Of our county. This well-known
old road does not pass into Prince Ed
ward at any point, but was the direct
stage line from Richmond to Lynchburg.

county, often speak of carrying the mail

which would trot the whole day. He

In the Dispatch Of the 18th instant a
