BIG FLOUR MILL IS
A POSSIBILITY HERE
TO BE LOCATED IN PIED
MONT SECTION
CHANCES ARE FINE
Said to be a Movement on Foot to
Establish Such a Mill In One
of Three Up-State Cities.
[ The man furnishing tho Inform?
?'.?on was hound to secrecy, so far as
names were concerned, and yesterday
he could fell nothing definite in re
gard to u proposition which contem
'plates the erection of an Immense
flour mill In Anderson. 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
