A CHANCE FOR A FACTORY.
A NORTH CAROLINA PLANT WANTS TO
CONE TO DAWSON.
AND 4 MEETING WILL BE HELD FRIDAY
MORNING To.sEE WHAT DAWSON
WILL DO,


WILL DO.
The owners of the Crown Cotton Mills,
of Greensboro, n. c., have written Major
b. II. Hood a letter saying that they
wished to move their plant to Georgia,
and that they would like to come to Daw-
son if the proper inducements were held
out to them. The letter is as follows:
GREENSBORO, n. c., April It'll, 1891
b. II. Hood, Esq: We are now cores
ponding with several Georgia and Ala
bama towns in regard to moving our mill.
and will probably accept the most favor
able offer we receive. We have a first
class plant fully equipped with modern
machinery, much of which was bought
within the past year. We make high
grade yarns for the northern and eastern
markets, and require a better grade of
cotton than we usually get here, and
have decided to move to the cotton if
suitable arrangements can be made. |
am manager of the business and owner
of S25, 900 of the stock. Our plant is
worth and has cost us upwards of $50, 900,
besides the real estate, and it will be nee
essary to purchase So, 900 more of the
stock in order to move and control it
This your people would have to do be-
sides put up buildings, etc, requiring
S20,0 600 or S25, 600 more, and making in
all S7j, 900 capital stock Under this ar
rangement you would get brought into
your city S25, 900 Ind the experience and
benefit of one of the most progressive
and best skilled manufacturers south.
If your people are prepared for such an
undertaking and are disposed to enter
into it, | will endeayor to consumate the
move. Yours, etc, O. ). CAUsEY.
Mr. Causey gives every assurance in
his letter of his utmost good faith, u and
the fact that he is the head of a large fac
tory in North Carolina is sufficient evil
dence of his good intention. The remov-
al of that cotton factory depends on Daw-
son, and what encouragement Dawson
will offer.
At the suggestion of several prominent
citizens of the city, the News requests all
of Dawson business men to meet at the
court house on Friday morning at 10
o'clock to discuss the proposition and
determine what shall he done.
The gentleman who wishes to bring
his plant here has spoken for himself
What will Dawson do?
Attend the meeting Friday morning
