Letter from Busy Busting Clifton.

CLrToS, S. c., Nov. 9.-This is a live place
and its growth and progress have been truly
phenomenal The two Cotton Mills, situated
mile apart, give employment to many hun
dreds of people. while the fertile and easily
cultivated lands in the immediate viciuage
aff,rd pleasant and profitable occupation to
those who are inclined to follow agricultural
pursuits. This place and Cowpens (situated
about two miles apart) offer excellent induce
meuis to truck farmers, and the consequence
is that North Carolins wagons, loaded with
cabbages, apples, etc., ara frequently seen
on the streets.
The space between Cowpens and Clifton is
being rapidly filled with nice dwelling houses
and stores. Land which few years ago
could be bought for a mere song is now
worth n great deal.
The Cliftnn Manufacturing Company has
a large store at each Mill, well constructed
and com Portable churches and schoo-houses.
There are good boarding houses Mt both
places. and nice hotel, kept iu excellent

THE LATEST EsrlMAA6GE SAGE OF THE COTTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The cotton re-
November arc not favorable for high rate
Of yield. The lateness of the crop, the ex-
tremes Of temperature. the excess Of rainfall
followed by drought, clusng enfcebled<xikSl-
ity and loss of foliage and fruit, have been
unfavorab'e for large crop. On the north
crn tordcr Of the belt killing frosts occur
re on the 29th-in some places os early as

been some improvement during the past
month.
The season has been very favorable for
picking. Quality is almost everywhere re-
ported high, ami the fibre is of good color
and unusually free from trash.

THE COOPERATIVE TOWN LOCATED.

WAsuINGroN Nov. 6.-At meeting If
the b,arl Of directors of the Cooperative
Town Company of Tennessee, consisting OF
Hon. Robert 2. Porter, presiden'; Scnror,
Carlisle and Harris, Hon. II. q. Hansb, ouk,
Benjamin Bu'terworth, Lewis McConas and
Col. Britton, held in the city to-day, it was
definitely decided to locate the new manufac-
turing town in eastern Tennessee. The loSnn
tion is at Elzabethtown, in the co'eb"a 4:
Watnugua valley on The Doe rivers. IN adult.
ton to upwards of 5000 acres Of t,wn site
lands, it WAS also decided to purchase $4,000
acres of iron ore, granite and timber lands
in tue immediate vicinity, making in all
over 1000 acres, and covering whit is con-
ccded to be the richest mineral por,ion of
the valley ani in section in which experts
cl,im, aft.r careful investigation, bessemcr
and the highest grades of st.el can be manu-
f.ctured cheaper than 10 any other part Of
the United States. The ore lands purchased
by the company arc rich in brown Eemat:te
to supplement the famous cranberry besse-
mer steel ores which a"e located directly
above the bwn ~itc.
The delay III making the location, the di-
rectors say, was due to the great ca'e exer-
cised in examining at least thirty cites in
Eastern Tennessee alone. The officers of
the company have given their personal at
tention TO on examination of each of these
sites, and in reaching the decision as t, the
Wataugua valley are thoroughly convinced
that no better selection coud be made for
manufacturing, commercial and residence
purposes There is within the limits ofthe
All railway lines forI@R. Doe mountain
country, so famous for sSr,l wealth, must
pass through Elizabetht5fNd the wataugs
valley.
In addition to the road already in oper,-
tion which connects the company's property
with important railroad systems, several
new raircafls are in course of completion.
Roads already gra led and partly laid will
connect direct with the Norfolk and West IN
railroad the East Tennessee Virginia aud
Georgia railroad, and the Charleston, Cincin-
nati and Chicag, railroad to the coal fields
of Big St,ne Gap. Other rold' have besn
projected, and will undoubtedly be built,
running to Ashevillc n. c., Erwin. Tenn,
and Mountain City. The comp ctioa of the
Wntaugu. Valley b'anch of the ra road
already built to Wilkesooro, n distance Of
about sixty miles. will open the way from
this local ty direct to the crast with either
Norfolk, Va, or Wilmington. n. c., as ohjrc-
tive points.
