KEY cotton mill job, including plans,
drawings, foundations, buildings, en-
gines, boilers, and a complete machin-
cry equipment ready to turn on the
steam.
Ten such jobs as these are now being
constructed by the Charlotte Machine
Company.
Mr.. Chadwick is one of the cleverest
and most valuable of the many enter
prising men who have come from New
England into the south since the war
and Joined in with our own people
in Industrial development. Mr.. Chad
wick did not come labOring under
the same impressions that few have
labored under. lie was not imbued
with the idea that the south and the
southerners were all asleep and that
southern people knew little and cared
less about industrial development.
He saw and knew that the south
was pulling ahead, he knew that there
were dormant opportunities here, es-
pecially in the line of business in
which he was engaged. He did not
come to modify southern ideas on
political or economic questions, nor
to inaugurate reforms in our civil
or political matters. He came to get
in the swim of the rising tide of south
ern manufacturing interest and TO
float with it to the port of prosperity.
He went to work with that vim and
energy that fairly beams from his
bright, honest countenance, and sue
cess was; natural result. He is to-day,
while yet quite young man and yet
awhile a stranger to most of our peo-
pie, one of the most potent individual
forces that has inspired the great
impetus that has been given to cotton
mill building during the past few
years. He has faith in the future OF
the south and he shows his faith by
his works.
Since his residence in North Carroll
ma he has become largely interested
in d number of it's leading new mills.
He is president and one Of the princi-
pal owners of the Dover Yarn Mills.
located at PineviIle, Mecklenburg
county, a splendid new mill with q
thoroughly up to date equipment.
He is also a large shareholder and
president of the Dilling Cotton Mills
of Kings Mountain, another new and
wonderfully successfully plant.
He is President of the Southern
Manufacturers Club of Charlotte,
probably the gestorganization of
manufacturers and business and pro-
fessional men in the south.
Few men have done as much for the
cotton manufacturing interest in this
section during the past few years as
II. S. Chadwick, and few institutions
have attained to the prominence and
popularity among the best cotton mill
men Of the south as has the Charlotte
Machine Company of which Mr.. Chad
wick was the founder and has been
the successful manager.
The reputation of this company
extends from one end of the south TO
the other 1T has grown bigger and
more important as the months have
gone by. and under the efficient man
agement of II. S. Chadwick, it will
keep abreast Of the continued march
OF southern progress.
In an exhaustive article in the re-
cent cotton mill edition Of the Manu-
facturers' Record appears the follow
ing statement:
Drawing a line from Lynchburg,
Va. southwark along the foothills Of
the Blue Ridge mountains, stretching
past Eutherfordton, Charlotte and
Rome, Ga. TO Gadsden, thence south
eastwardly through Eufaula, Fla. TO
Albany, Ga, thence norfhward on
straight line from Albany to Norfolk
and back to the starting point at
Lynchburg, we have marked out the
future situs Of the cotton manufactur-
ing Of the South. and that means. SO
far as human foresight can predict.
the future situs Of cotton manufac-
turing Of the world. This territory
is, roughly speaking, about 800 miles
long by 100 10 $50 miles wide, and
covers an area of from 10000 to CO.
600 square miles II has advantages
for cotton manufacturing une4uaied
by any other country 81 the world"
Charlotte, n C., is about the centre
of the territory designated. II is into
this territory that many carload Of
new machinery are going every day.
In conversation with a prominent
North Carolina manufacturer, some
weeks ago, one of the officials Of the
Knowles Loom Works, remarked that
his company had sold at that time and
had contracted to deliver all the looms
they could furnish before the summer
of 80, land nearly or quite all Of
them" he added, ''are to go into mills
located within radius Of a hundred
miles of Charlotte, N C." This demon
strates what the South is doing in the
building of new mills. 1t also clearly
illustrates the popularity of the loom.
1t has been mainly through Mr..
Chadwick, who is the Southern agent
for the Knowles loom, that they
have acquired such an extensive hold
in the South. He has likewise made
popular the lappers cards, Wrappers and
other mill machinery for which he is
the Southern agent. Being a practi-
cal machine man he keeps posted on
improvements and new ideas adopted
in the construction of machinery and
his patrons reap the benefit.
He has pushed the Charlotte Ma
chine Company into the position it oc
