Highland Park Mill company has
bought four and a half acres OF land
in the eastern part of this city, en-
Dracing the old canning factory site, on
which they are now making arrange
ments to erect a cotton oil mill. The
contract for the brick work has already
been let to Mr.. r. A. Brown, of Con-
cord, N. c., the contractor who built
the addition to the Highland Park
Mill. The cotton oil mill will have a
of so tons of seed per day and
It will be equipped with the very best
modern machinery and its output of Oil
will be of all the grades used for the
various commercial purposes. The
company will establish in connection
with this plant ginnery of large ca
pacity, and it is their expectation to
have the cotton seed mill and the gin
merry in operation in time for the next
cotton crop. While Mr.. E. H. john
son, the mills very capable secretary,
who is our informant, did not say so,
it is not improbable that a fertilizer
factory may follow the enterprises for
whose erection arrangements are now
being perfected. Very little has been
said about the intention of the High
land Park people. They keep their
own counsel; but when they are ready
to move their work is speedily pushed
to a finish. Their enterprises mean a
great deal for this city and our people
will hail their coming with much inter-
est and satisfaction. Messrs. c. w.
Johnson, w. E. Holt and j. S. Spencer,
of the Highland Park company, have
recently had completed an addition to
their cotton mill, The Anchor, at Hun
tersville, N. C. The addition will be for
300 looms, there being $500 spindles in
the original part of the mill. Mr.. r. A.
Brown built the addition.
