CoTToN MILL, No. l.

Dor. Upon examination of cotton
grown above Anderson winter cast is
found, but the staple loses in length,
shortening to scveu.eighths of an
inch and less. Below Anderson the
staple is found shorter and trashy, a
condition due to careless cultivation,
handling and fertility of soil.
1t has been conceded for years that
Anderson is the best cotton market in
the State. One-eighth to one-quarter
of cent is about the range of ad-
vance over other near markets. As a
result, cotton from the Counties of
Abbeville, Greenville, Oconee, and
from across the Georgia line, pours
into this market during the entire
season. Thirty-fve thousand bales
were the receipts for the year ending
Sept. /, 1895. This number of bales
were received in the City of Anderson
by wagons and by railroads, paid for
by her cotton buyers and the money
put in circulation among her people.
These receipts were five times greater
than one of our larger sister cities, and
three times greater than another which
boasts population twice as large as
Anderson.
The resident cotton buyers of An
derson are: p. X. McCully, +. f.
Watkins, j. e. Cunningham, w. H.
Smith, F. \. Spellman, +. G.. Brown
and D. p. McBrayer. The last named,
Mr.. d. p. McBrayer, is buyer for the
Anderson Cotton Mills, Pelzer Mills,
and for his own account. These gen
tlemen are financially strong, thor
oughly posted, and in constant touch
and telegraphic correspondence with
New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
in the United States, and factors rep
resenting Barcelona in Spain, Harve
in France, and Manchester and Liver
pool in England.
10000 BALES.
Thirty thousand bales will be the
receipts for the present season, end
ing Sept. l, 1895. Of this amount,
26, ,759 bales were the wagon receipts,
and 3,049 bales the railroad receipts
from near points to June 18th inst,

Up to the present time "four-yards "
shecting, only, has been manufactured,
but with the finest grade of middlipg
upland cotton produced by the Pied
mont section growing at the very doors
of the mill. the manufacture of goods
of finer fabric is seriously contem-
plated.
The equipment of the mill, particu-
larly in machinery, are UP-To-DATE:
Steam power has been abandoned and
Electric power adopted, which also
lights the building. This power is
supplied by the The Water Supply and
Electric Power Co. of this city. A
complete system of water-works have
been put in by the mill, with hydrants
conveniently located, hose-reels con-
veniently placed pipes run through eve
ry room OF the building, which are pro-
vided with automatic fre-sprinklers,
arranged at proper distances apart.
Telephone connects the office OF the
mill with the Bank Of Anderson. Of
which Mr.. j. \. Brock is also Presi-
dent. No appointment of detail has
been neglected or overlooked. The
mill is unique in equipment, efficient
in management, and is, perhaps, one
of the most prosperous mills in the
South.
Besides the benefits accruing to the
stockholders, the indirect advantages
accruing to the cityin the large amount
of money thrown into the channels of
trade and to planters Of the country
around in having a market for their
cotton, highly stimulated by the de-
mands of the mill, and their other
farms products, for which they now
find ready sale, should not be lost
sight of nor underestimated.'
The present value of this plant is
not less than S600,0OG

yond the Factory, on lands belonging
to the mill, is situated the Factory
Village. The streets are broad and
