Globe Mill suspends.
Rock Hill Herald, Wednesday: Last
Tuesday, at a meeting Of the Globe Cot
ton mill, it was decided to suspend busi-
ness temporarily. On account of the con-
tinued financial depression the mill has
for some time been running at an ex-
pense, and this fact induced the directors
to take the step they did. There were
rumors that the mill had gone to the wall
and receiver would be appointed but
we are assured that the matter is not
nearly so bad as that. The mills cred
itors are not pressing, and it is hoped that
operations will be resumed at an early
day. The Globe was established in 1891.
1t has been running 1880 spindles and 800
looms. 1t employs 300 operatives, the
monthly payroll being $1,000. The highest
class of cotton dress goods and other tex
tiles are manufactured here and the mill
was in way to make money at one time.
Its president, Major John R. London, is
one of the most successful mill men in
the south, and will eventually pull the
mill out of it's present difficulty.
