The First Cotton Mil.

Beyond q reasonable doubt 1t was located In
the county Of Essex, and the town ofBeverly,
Mass. The evidence of that fact is straight
and clear. Essex county Is famous lor Deipg
industries OF this country. The first cloth
made in this country was at Rowley about
1910. Some of the early settlers had been
clothiers In old England and they established
q fulling mill soon after their arriv val here. In
1928 Nathaniel Porter. OF Lynn. In this same
pounds law ful money for three pieces OF linen
manufactured at Lynn. The first money OF
the colonies was made at Lynn, and the nrst
iron work on this continent was started here.
The writer has often hunted over the heaps
OF scoria for relics that had laid In them Tor
200 years-Pelzer Sun Herald.
The first cotton mill that was built in upper
South Carolina Is believed TO have been built
between 1925 and 1880, on Raburns Creek IN
Laurens County, which was owned by three
men-Hugh Wilson, grandfather Of the editor
OF the Press and Banner, being member OF
the firm. The partnership was dissolved be.
cause of disagreement as to the amount OF
the salary which should be paid to the mana
ger, Hugh Wilson. At first, only spinning
was done, and the 5.lb bunohes Of thread,
which we're hauled through the country in
wagons. was sold TO the people.
Before the destruction Of the mill. during
the sos, looms had been put in, and part Of
the yarn was spun into cloth.
The retiring partner bought the mill which
is now owned by the Erwin estate on Saluda
river, where he died In 1895, after few houri
Of illness, and where he was laid to rest.

"ABBEvILLE GETS Ir.-In the matter OF 10
eating the permanent line OF the Black Dia.
mond in South Carolina, the engineers are
progressing rapidly. A warm competition
arose between Greenwood and Abbeville. two
towns between Anderson and Aiken, 8. c.,

are about ten miles apart and possess about
equal advantages as to distance, route and
expenses OF construction. Both towns COM
piled with all requests made OF them oy sub.

minal facilities Greenwood could not secure
such as would be required, while Abbeville
stood ready to guarantee all the terminals
necessary, and the Abbeville route has been
decided upon by the officers Of the road. II Is
