In the Work and Subscribe some
thing to the New Factory.

q Ihls week we took mp the wo
s. OF securing a cotton factory f
% Greenville. Tuesday we start,
out to interview our merchan
and business men, to get their di
Q ferent views on this question an
!. see what they would subscribe t.
I. wards a factory to be establlshe
in this city. Out of some thirt
or forty interviewed we neve
found one but who thought
would pay as an investment, i
properly managed, and be a bene
fit to our city. We are confiden
now with the encouragement re
ceived that the factory can be es
tablished within the coming month
One of the questions asked by
many is; g no will manage the
factory" Our reply to this ques-
ton is. 1T will be left for the stock
holders to say, as they WILDE the
ones interested in it, and will no
doubt, select only competent men,
for with money invested IN 1t they
will want it to be a success.
Greenyllle possesses some as
good business men as any city in
the South, who, if given the man
will make the factory a
success. The amount subscribed
is from business men S24, 900:
from clerks and statesmen $1,000;
from planters 5000; total SOL, 900.
