All this citi zen could do was to say that tho mill ia' most certainly to he built and that it may possibly be in Anderson. It is understood that one of thc Well known flour milling companies of thc west lias sent several agents to Soutli Carolina- to look over thc Poid and lt is said that the mill will bc built within tho next year.. It is a known fact that at least oiie of the agents had been to Anderson und lias made inquiries hero regarding the field and it id said that he looked lip ?n. Anderson as being thc logical point for the undertaking " Information available yesterday was to the effect that tue mill is to he of j 500-barrel dall; capacity and that it j will bo extensively advertisqd when actual work is begun and the flour placed on the market. Anderson peo ple are familiar with flour mills, but few of them ever saw a mill with a capacity Riifficient to furnish this num ber of barrels each day. That tho nilli is to be built ls -n certainty, but that Anderson will get if ls by no mesas a settled - fact. .It ii understood that agentfl of the com pany have also visited Greenville and Spartahburg, and one of the throe towns will got tho new industry, but if Anderson does It will. take some hard work'on the part of the business mon and trades bodies of the city CITADEL FACES ? ?R1GHT YEAR Enrollment Is Larger Thia Year Than Last and Good Work i Is Expected, i ? .>?. .'
