MILL BUILDING.
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.

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. Iu the majority of cases this dees
not require eveu two weeks'delay, lor tin*I
purchase price of the site In taken in paid up
stock, or, better still, donated outright by the

ly about what proportion of thesubscriptloiiN
can be idled upou : seldom after the first pay-1

and when such Uoes oecur. others are !
ready to take place I was reliably Informed 1
that the forleiture>> were so insignificant Unit
they were not considered, and in one instaiu-c ,
they did not have a single one.
