THE FIRST COTTON MILL.
washington's Diary Fixes It's Location n.
Beverly, Mass.

Several different towns in the United
States clim the unique distinction of hay-
ing erected tho first American cotton mill,
but from the best information that can be
obtained 1t seems that the credit properly
belongs TO the town Of Beverly Mass.
The circumstances leading up to this
discovery may be of interest to our read
ers Some years ago Mayor Rantoul OF
Salem, Mass. was invited TO Pawtucket
r L., TO attend the centennial exercises
held at that place in commemoration OF
the opening OF the famous Slater mill. In
sending out Invitations 10 this centennial
event tho owners OF the mill claimed IL To
be the first establishment Of its kind ever
erected in the United States. For some
reason Mayor Rantoul was unable To be
present at tho exercises, but being deeply
interested in historical researches he de-
cided at his leisure TO investigate the
claims of the Pawtucket mill owners.
This Investigation led 10 the discovery
that the old cotton mill at Beverly, Mass,
which was burned down i'm 1888, had been
in operation for several years prior 20 the
establishment Of the mill at Pawtucket,
and that no less witness than General
Washington himself could he cited in con-
flrmstlon OF tho fact lt seems that Gen
eral Washington, while on tour of the
Now England states In 1889, made visit
to tho old Beverly cotton mill and was SO
impressed with the novelty of the spectacle
thct nc devoted several pages of his diary
To its description. This old diary is still
TO bo found among General Washington S
papers.
AS the researches Of Mayor Rantoul
seemed to settle the matter beyond all con-
troycrsy, the residents Of Beverly, Mass,
caused handsome tablet TO be erected on
tho site of the old mill, commemorating
tho establishment of the first enterprise
Of its kind ever inaugurated in the United
States, ,--Atlanta Constitution.
