Some Practical Suggestions, Whicli Ought to Lead to the Establishment of a Cotton Mill at Abbeville. Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tctin. i Several cotton mills have been established in North Carolina, and are now doing a successful business, which have been built on the Installment plan. The recent great increase In the building of new cotton mills caused a correspondent of the Charleston j News and Courier to make a visit to some<>| these mills in order to ascertain by personal i observation and Inquiry tbe merits of tbe system and the methods in which it is applied. lie says In bis report: NVe fouod the mill! men ready to lurmsb any and all data asked lor and all xery enthusiastic in the work in which they were engaged. There are quite a number of these mills trial were started on the installment plan, aud I have yet to lioar of one that has failed to succeed. The com. moD way of Koing about the matter is to fix the stock at S100 per share, payab e SI weekly each shitre. By this means the total capital stock is paid up in lull lo two years. The, building and equipping, though, is not put oil for the two years, but as >>oou as the slock Is subscribed for, aud say $1,0?K) is paid In. which is done iu about two weeks, the company Is organized, the sit-- selected, purchaseu and ' paid lor.
