We are glad to see that our sister

Of deiversified farming, but VIC are
heartily in favor Of diversified indus

like to have every town in the State
! converted into cotton mill town,
but would rather see various minor
industries building along with the
! cotton mills. The cotton mill is not
the only thing that will pay in South
Carolina, there are many other indus
tries that could be established at q
much less cost than cotton mill
that would no doubt give larger re-
turns to capital, We wish Newberry
