Greenville ViHdicu'Or: Meriwethe- is a
large and fine agricultural county, prJduc-
Ing Annually not less than 1900 bales #
cotton aud 80, 900 bushels Of seed. A. least
100 600 bushels Of this amount could be use
As atsrial for an oil mill and guau1
factory at Greenvllle, which is a cent al
, INIT. The 900 900 bushels Of co ton iced
would make 6,OO0 tons IL meal besides a
large quantity Of oil. The 5000 tons OF
meal would be worth $1,000 and the oil
S30,O00 making 81. 900 gross profit. Deduct
from this $1,000 cost OF seed and 5000
for running expense and there is $4,000
net profit on an investment in machinery
Of not over 81, 900. We have given a rough
estimate, but have not missed the facts
very far, perhaps. Another very profitable
Institution IS a spoke, hub and helye
factory. Within a circle Of five miles
arouHd Grseuville, there is any quantity of
superior hickory, white and posi- oak, pop
lar and other kinds Of woods suitable for
such an enterprise. A factory Of this kind
might be started on a capital Of 5000, and
II would pay 80 per cent, net profit, il we'll
managed. A chair and broom factory
could als1 be made 10 pay handsomely On a
small capital No place has better advan-
tages for all these enterprises than Green.
