In tbe promotion of tbe building of tbe
Black Diamond Railroad, 1b in receipt of a
letter enclosing tbe following extraota from
tbe Dover (Ky.) News, of date May 4:
"Abbevii/le gets it.?In tbe matter of locating
the permanent line or tbe Black Diamond
in Sooth Carolina, the engineers are
, progressing rapidly. A warm competition
arose between Greenwood and Abbeville, two
i towns between Anderson and Aiken, 8. C.,
for tbe location of tbe road. The two towns
are about ten miles apart and possess abont
i equal advantages as to distance, route and
expenses of construction. Both towns compiled
with all requests made of tbem by subscribing
tbe amount asked of them and guar
anteelne Bubsldltv. But when it came to ter
mi Dal facilities Greenwood could not aeoore
, such as would be required, while Abbeville
stood ready to guarantee all tbe terminals
! necessary, and tbe Abbeville route baa been
i decided upon by the officers of the road. It is
i a matter of regret that both of these enteri
prising and deserving towns could not be on
i tbe line.

work of securing tbe money Is practically

The First Cotton Mill.
Beyond a reasonable doubt It was located in
the ooanty of Essex, and ttle town of Beverly,
Mass. The avldence of that /act Is straight
and clear. Essex county la famous lor befog
the pioneer In developing a great many of tbe
Industries of tbls country. Tbe first clotb
made In tblB country was at Rowley about
1640. Some of tbe early settlers bad been
clotblers In old England and tbey established
a fulling mill soon after tbelrarrlval here. Id
1726 Natbamel Porter, of Lynn, In tbls same
conn tv, was awardad by tbe oonrt Salem 18
pounds lawfnl money lor tbree pieces ot linen
manufactured at Lynn. Tbe first money of
tbe colonies was made at Lynn, and tbe first
Iron work on tbls continent was started bere.
Tbe writer bas often bnnted over tbe beaps
of scoria for relics tbat bad laid In tbem for
200 years.?Pelser Sun Herald.
Tbe first ootton mill tbat was built In upper
South Carolina Is believed to have been ballt
between 1825 and 1880, on Rabarns Creek In
Laurens County, wblcb was owned by tbree
men?Hugh Wilson, grandfather of tbe editor
of tbe Press and Banner, being a member of
the firm. The partnership was dissolved be*
cause of a disagreement as to tbe amount of
tbe salary which should be paid to tbe manager,
Hngb Wilson. At first, only spinning
was done, and tbe 5-lb bunches of thread,
which were banled tbrough tbe country in
wagons, was sold to tbe people.
Before the destruotlon or tbe mm, oaring
the 80's, looms bad been pat In, and part ol
tbe yarn was span Into elotb.
The retiring partner bought tbe mill which
la now owned by tbe Ervln estate on Saluda
river, wbere he died In 1836, after a few hoars
of Illness, and where he was laid to rest.
Mrs. Taggart still exoels on both prloee and
quality of mlllnery.
