Factories are great thermometers, il con-
Quoted with fairness and = jus, regard for
the Interests Of al PARTIES directly or re-
motely concerned in t.eir prosperity.
But it is not only the factory in town
that we wish to see tuls. With all parts Of
the county, We are anxious to see oil three
cf the proposed factories built. and a, many
moro as the magnificent water powers can
carry and the individual means and enter
prise Of the c,unty can make successful.
Let us, by al means, have the great Lock-
hart Mills, at the North.eas of us, aud
make it what is grand location is capable
Of making it, the largest in the South, or
even in the worll and let US also have the
Macbeth Mill. at the West Of us, with its
sp'codid advantages for the successful oper-
alton of two go factories.
There is room aud pro fitable work for all
of them, aud as many more, in The county.

establishing every character Of enterprise
among US, even upon the single ground that
each enterprise creates additional taxab'c
properly, tha. viii reduce, in the aggregate,
the tax upon oil other property il the
county.
The building of the proposed three mills
and the railroads to them will increase the
taxable property Of Uuion not less than
81 100000.
The following from f,iend in the ooun-
try, gives additional incentives for building
the factories proposed
"There are many reasons, Mr.. Editor,
which should make the people Of this county
heed your appeal 10 join hands in securing
the enterprises now On foot. Union is their
home, and humble til ugh it may be, it
would be left with regret. 1t is easier and
better to prosper among friends in the same
effort than among strangers. There is no
reason why joint effort in Union should not
make her natural advantages equally as
profitable rs less favorable circumstances in
other parts o: the South have proved TO bo
to those who unite TO utilize them. Fac
tional feeling always lessons the reward Of
effort. "a h,nse divided against itself can
not stand"
These enterprises Lessen taxes by iucreas-
ing values, by importation of capital, and
by taking it out Of vlults where Auditors
emit find aud tax it. They give tho capital
of inexperience experienced management.
They give paying Investments to small as
we'll as large cspi'alisis, aud the stock is the
best collateral security in the market, read
