law firm who wrote the charte
list for mill were very earnest in thei
talk on the necessity of q cotto
factory here as u means of devel
oping tho city and subscribe liber
y, ally to the stock.
81 Mr.. Will Kretchmar, one of tn,
- city's young men, the book keeper
OF the Geese Hood Hardware Co.
~ took a 800. share and said thai
every young man in the city
- should do likewise.
. Mr.. G. M. Ham one of the largest
:. furniture dealers in the CITY or
- state, and man whose purse is
always open to Greenville's needs.
SAID, Yes. we need a cotton facto-
- ry and every other kind we can
get. 1t takes factories to build
cities, and if we ever expect
: Greenvllle to grow start in this
direction must be made. ''Certain-
ly will subscribe
Mr.. Kit Gillespie prominent plan
ter OF Leland recently we invited
to take stock with us but he de-
} clined on the ground that what
money he had to spare he would
put in the factory now being Or
ganized at Leland. This we could
not help but endorse, for we be-
lleve in sticking to ones own
town.
Mr.. Henle, manager of Leyser
d Co., store:
Yes we need not only a cotton
factory but all kinds, as to-day the
stock of goods of our merchant is
larger than consumption and
with 3 new stores opening In our
city this fall unless something of !
the kind to bring people here i
comes, we can look for failures.
Mr.. Jake Scott when approached 7
sald' YES, we need q factory and 7
need it bad and its shame with r
banks in our city here with over
a 'Sl,oOo,oO0 idle capital we Il
, nave not got one. only wish 1 ST
had enough money [ would start a
mill of my own. n
From the above interviews one il
must admit that Greenville sooner Sc
or later will have a cotton factory. la
The revolution it has wrought In &C
Georgia and the Carolinias by in bl
'reasing the states wealth and
population has brought the matter SO
before the thinking people of our ag
'wn state. We have started this
work CT raising the sum necessary OF
or factory here in the interest in
# Greenville and Washington tn
ounty alone, not fol self or any TO
Individual or company. Our plan
) to solicit until we get SIS, 900 Gu Gu
'orth OF stocks subscribed, then t t
oil meeting of the proposed The
Jock holders and let them elect
lelr President and Board of Di- 4
'ctors and start the work. II
One OF the best and most h
lconMging features in the II
DIRK and show the interest in its Is
Iccess is the young men of the n
w. who are working for salary M
the different stores, taking "
ares in the mill. This alone &
ould encourage those who have y
0ney to subscribe in order that
ese young men may feel their
bic efforts in the city's welfare
, appreciated and to it the mill Of IN

The fears expressed by some. obta
1t owing to so many mills now s seRl'
ing up in the south will cause grea
