Charter Granted For Bleachery.
A forward move in the textile in
dustry in the south is about to be
taken. For years bleachery has
been talked about, but it never got be-
yond talking. New cotton mills were
built and old ones enlarged, but they
were all for the coarser goods. This
is now to be changed.
A party of Augusta gentlemer, all
practical cotton manufacturers, have
been granted charter by the secre-
tary of state of South Carolina, to en-
gage in the bleachery business.
The corporation is to be known as
the Clear Water Bleachery and Manu-
featuring Company and its plant is to
be situated at Clear Water, in Aiken
county, q short distance from Augusta,
where it is claimed there is as fine
water for bleaching purposes as can be
found anywhere in the United States.
The purpose Ct the corporation, as
set forth in the charter, is the manu-
featuring, spinning, bleaching, dyeing,
printing, finishing and selling of goods
of every kind of cotton or wool.
