day.

Evil Effects of Reform.

The public were put on notice several years
ago that the Reform movement would scare
away capital, and that our resources would re-
main undeveloped. This prediction has been
verified.
If 1t had not been for the Reform move
ment there might have been great scarcity
of mill sites. Our next door neighbor, lau-
rens, undertook TO build S75,O0O Eaill. Capi-
tai came and the stock was increased TO $780,
600. Before the walls could be finished, an
other $2OO, 200 has been added. This will give
Laurens Il twenty-thousand spindle mill.
The ten thousand spindle mill at Union Is be-
ing Increased 10 forty-thousand spindle
mill. Piedmont and PelZer is being greatly
enlarged. We learn that Pelzer will be
ninety-ive thousand spindle mill. Green
willie is building number OF new mills-some
three or four. Columbia is putting up I'M
mense cotton mills, and new company has
been organized to- build another. Anderson
is doubling her mill. Walhalla is putting up
O five thousand spindle mill. Abbevllle is
expecting to put up ten thousand spindle
mill, and so on.
If Tilman and Reform had not put the
breaks OH there is no telling how mills South
Carolina would now be putting up.
