NEwBURYpoRT, April 29.-The direc-
tors of the Whitfield cotton mills have
decided to remove the machinery and
equipment Of their mill here to Spartan.
burg, S. c., where the company has a
large mill under construction. The agent
of the company, Mr.. Stephen Green,
states to Herald representative that this
step has been taken because ola desire to
avail themselves of the immense advan .
tage the South possesses for manufactures,
among which he Claims are cheaper raw
material, cheaper fuel, lower cost of liv.
ing and consequently cheaper labor, and
last, but not least, more favorable legisla.
ton, or rather absence of legislation, In
regard to labor in South Carolina. MIR.
Green is of the opinion that the Legisla-
ture of Massachusetts, by continued 80.
called labor legislation is gradually
crowding manufacturers to the wall, and
will ultimately drive all manufacturers
South. The Whitfield mills have been
uuder its present management about two
years the present number Of employees
is 425, weekly pay roll $4,000. 1t is not
believed that the mills at the South will
be ready for occupancy before early fall,
which gives the operatives q chance to
turn around. The buildings cover
three. fourths of an acre of ground, 49,.
900 feet OF hoorage surface, with steam
and FIRE apparatus in excellent condition.
It will not remain uuoccupied, as it was
ascertained yesterday that one of the
enterprises would undoubtedly occupy
the premises. The firm of Lockwood,
Green & Co., mill engineers, connected
with the above corporation, will remain
in this city, for the present at least, and,
perhaps, permanently.-Boston Herald.
