The Southern News says.: 1.-TWO Sauth
Carolina cotton mills, one at Piedmont

8 bale. The train carrying the shipment
will 20 west over the Northern Pacific
road, and the goods will take steamer at
Tacoma. The goods were sold to China in
competition With the mills of the world.
That so large an order should have been

elusive proof that the South can compete

ton, the Southern mills are making
money"
