A letter has been received in Aiken from
c. A. Wood, now manager of the Hotel
Ericsson in Boston iuquiring as to the
practicabTity of securing aid from the
citizens of Aiken toward the erection of
another hotel there. He states that he
has the promise Of $1,000 in Boston, If
the citizens Of Aiken will provide the
site and $4,000 cash.
The Sumter Item says the demand for
corn is much greater now than it was
last year, and the price is advancing
daily. There is no trouble to sell corn,
the only trouble is to get enough to sup
ply the demand The reduction of the
corn acreage last year is being felt, and
it is very evident that the men who are
buying corn are learning that it is not
economy to buy corn with cotton. A big
corn crop this year would mean more
solid prosperity for Sumter county than
big crop of cotton.
President Tom Barrett of the Aiken
Manufacturing Company, at Bath, states
that the new mill at that place is to be
enlarged and it's present capacity increased
by the addition Of 800 looms and 1900
spndles. There is room sufficient in the
mill already to accommodate the addi-
tional cards and spindles, but an addi-
tional room ono story high will have to
be built for the looms. There are now
1900 spindles and 400 looms in the mill.
When complete there will be 1900 spin
dies and 720 looms, Work will commence
at once.
The Aiken Journal and Review has this
to say about the new mill at Bath: Pres
ident Tom Barrett of the Aiken Manufac-
turing Company. Bath, S. c., informs us
that the new mill at that place is to be
enlarged and it's present capacity increas-
ed by the addition of 300 looms and u, 900
spindles. There is room sufficient in the
mill already to accommodate the addi-
tonal cards and spindles, but an addi-
uonal room, one story high, will have to
be built for the looms. We understand
this is to be built on at the western end
of the mill. There are now $1,000 spindles
and 40 looms in the mill. When complete
there win be 27,OO0 spindles and 40 looms
Work will commence at once"
