CAROLINA WOOL MILLS.
None in South Carolina, but Some
Will be Built in Place OF
Cotton Mills.

New York. Jan. "a Charlotte, NC,
dispatch to the Evening Post says:The
prospecting parties of New York and
New England investors were surprised
to learn that there is not a woollen mill
in South Carolina. In North Carolina
there are II, with about half dozen
others in prospect, and these mills have
proved even more successful financially
than the cotton mills, the annual divi-
dends ranging from ten to twenty per
cent.
South Carolina grows as much as, and
perhaps more, wool than does North
Carolina and has equally good and
numerous water powers, and it is prob
able that some of these will soon be
utilized to run woollen machinery.
