Kent, Anderson, S. 0 : Pear Siu : Yoir letter of the 23rd December is received ? and contentf carefully noted. In reply, I will say that I havt! no knowledge of any printed iuiormatiou of "The comparative advan tages, and disadvantages of steam nud water as a motive power." I have had considerable experience with both, and urn free to say tint I per? for steam, for several reasons : 1st. You can locato your mill to better advantage. If you use water, you must go where it is, and if you get a never failing stream you will be very fortu nate. Many of the largo mills at tho Hast have been obliged to put in a steam engine to assist in time of drouth, or af Hard freezing in winter. 2nd. If you use steam you cau locate in or near a town, where }ou will be sure of a supply ol bauds to oporato your machinery. In winter you need steam for heating purposes, and must have it, eveu il you use water as motive power. 3rd. The Gist cost of ."team is much less. The location muat be very advan tagcous, or the dam and other arrange ments miiiht cost two or three times as V-V. ' | much as steam. It seems to me, tho only question with you is- that of economy. Have you cheap fuel ? If so, I would nay, have st am by all means. It is easily adaptodj and, if managed .by a man that under stands his business, will prove cutirely satisfactory. You have many advantages that the mills in other parts of the country do not enjoy, and I can see no reason why a cotton mill in your place should not be eminently successful. Do not make your capital less than 8200,000. Many enterprises of that kind fail bocauso they are too small to successfully com pete with larger ones. Tho general expenses ef a small are nearly as much i as a large one. If ?jTOU succeed in raising the capital, 1 W??ld like to make a few Suggestion? before you organize. I have been through this business twice, and know, of some mistake*, that have been made. Yours truly, Ac, JOEL SMITH, Jr., Supcriulcudeut. Ol-'FICJt OF T>' E PaKFORTTI locomotive and Machine Company, Patterson, January 8, 1872. J. P l.eed, Anderson, <S'. C. : De \r Sir : We have your favor of tho 2!>rd ult, and note costents. Iu reply we have to flay, 31bs of coal with a geod steam engine will give 1 horse power per hour. This is sufficient to drive 32 spindles and preparation equal to> lib of coal for 10 spindles per hour. This, for one year, at 10 hours per day, would be 3,120lbs ef coal, which, at 80 per ton. will give a cost per spinilo for one year of 78 cents. Add for wages of engineer, oil, wsstc, &c., 4 cents per spindle, and wo have a total cost of 82 cents per spindle for one year. One ten of coal is equal to 1 i corda oi wood ; at 33 per nord, tho cost will be less, say Sets per spindle, making tho cost of st-sam power, burning wood, 74 cents per spindle for oue yoar, working 10 hours per day. The cost of water power will depend on tho locution. If you can get it for uolliivig, it will be less than steam pow er; depending, however, upon the cost of dam, race-way, Ac. With us, where water power cost* from nine huudred to eleven hundred dollars per square foot under a head and fill of 22 feet, the cost lor power per spindle is 81,40 per annum. Some of the collateral adranfages of steam over water are : less heavy gear ing to got up speed; a more steady power; steam for heating and drying, making sizing, Ac., besides you can locate your mill anywhere, convenient to a railroad, or where it may best suit your convenience. Tho advantages of w\ter over steam are : simplicity of machinery ; lass eire required in its management; and no more cost for running long or short time. With the above data, you can decide as to the relative cost of steam or water, where you propose to locate your factory. Respectfully yours, &e. JOHN COOKE, President. J. P.

Mjk Dear Sir : I will try to answer TOUT?quiri<*8 in relation to inauufactur ing cittou in South Carolina, a^d par tieulJrly iu Anderson I'ouuty. 1 uu dentafld you as wishing to ascertain the amount of capital required to put in operation sufficient machinery to wear* daily some 1,000 to 5,000 yards of I shirtings, similar, iu kiu 1 and quality, to Grahitevillo and Augusta .shil lings. To erect lire proof buildings of brick, to purchase and placu in operation ma cbinory enough to manufacture 9,000 yards of I shirtings daily, will cost in rouud numbers $100,000. With a new con cern ard-alw;4)s connected some expenses (as purcbusc ol land aud the like,) which cannot be exactly estimated. Besides, it costs (ess to improve some locations than others. So it wiil bo axle to say ?llO.?UO, which will more than coyer all the costs, and leave some cash capitar, eu which to commence busi ness. > Now, I estimate the profit on the in Ivestment ^o be 221 per cent. You sty this is a largo dividend; this is true, yet it is not up to the earnings of the Pen 'idletou Factory for the past five years, /which have been fully 201 per cont. on ' the capital irjvested- While saying this much, I am speaking from an experieace of over thirty eight years as operator, manager and owner of factories: and 1 am fully capable of correctly estimating the profitableness of cotton manufactur ing, and cspecii^'y of manufacturing in South Cardlinn, having bsci connected with the business iu this Suite lor ?o u: twenty-five yuan past. With the estimate of buildings and maohinery, 1 w+Jl furniih you with the cost of a steam oogiuc to drive 'he facto? ry; and also the daily coat of fuel, com pared with tho cest of water power .to. There is nod mot. generally speaking, that steam is moro expensivo than water to drive. Yet, there are advantages arising from uuing steam as the motive power, which will, in some ctses, more than counterbalance the increasel cost. When steam is used the location is at your option, which is not the case wh mi water is used, because you must locate the factory to suit the power. With steam, you locate the piwur to suit the factory. In order to give you a clear under standing ef the difference i n the relative advantages of water power and steam power, we will say that you with to lo cate your factory at Anderson C. H., or rs near that place as possible. In the first place; a* water power is the cheap est, when it can he obtained, (advanta ges of location being equal.) wa will ascertain the nearest perint where water with the proper full can bo obtained iu sufficient quantity to give you the power necessary to drive your factory. I'yon inquiry, we find that there is a location suitable for our purpore; just six miles from the depot in Auderson. Now, we will assume that the co-it of land and millsite, with mill dam und race way, and the water wheel ready for operation will he the same as it will cost for land and the steam engine placed in position. (The actual cost will be about the same.) With your Factory six miles from town, you will have to use wagon transporta tion, which, from from i^n amount, will require one four tuulo team, and one two mule team. With two drivers, the daily expenses, with wear and tear, may be safely put at eight dollars per day. You will bear in mind that these teams must haul daily, aud their loading must be kept dry. Mew, locuto your Factory directly on the Railroad, near the depot, where you can have a side track branching into the yard near your engine, so as to de liver wood, and deliver and receive freight on the spot. Do you not suppose that you could s**c six dollars per day, over and above the cost for wagon transportation, with your Factory loca ted six miles from the Railroad 1* I certainly do. Tho six dollars thus sav ed you can apply to the purchase of f eel for your steam engine. My estimate is that it will require three cords of pine wood daily to give tho necessary power to run tho Factory twclvo hours, per I Again, you can, if jou chooso, put in a somewhat larger oogino, which will enable you to drive, in connection with your Factory, a Grist Mill, (corn and wheat,) Saw Mill aud Plauing-muchine, with work shop for turniiig wood and iron; and all this with but a small ad dition to the cost of fuol, &c. I will not stop to discuss the advautag-js of having a saw mill and grist mill ho near you. Von can estimate that better than :'l can, having felt the need of them. As to the advantages of having tho factory located in town, I have to say, that it will giro employment to not loss than ono hundred hands, whose daily wages will average fifty cents each. This makes 850 per day, or $15,000 for a year of 300 working days, all of which will bo distributed in your town. Now add your mills ami planing and turning shop, and you have some 85,000 more ; or a total of 820,000 in cash, in which your professional men, mcrehants, mechanics, and trades people in general will share. We have a perfect right to expect 825,000 in dividends on the amount invested ; which, to cover all the additions named, will be about $125,000. Now, yau have tho snug sum of 845,000 in cash drawn to your town annually, xhis is not a visionary nor a theoretical calculation. It is one based on practical knowledge of matters pertaining to the subject under cousider lion. '1 his matter should be viewed in yet another aspect. Wc must cousider the enhanced value of the cotton raised at home. Comparing 1,000 bales of cotton, in its raw state, with 1,000 bales after being manufactured into goods, we have: 1,000 hales f/> 880 per bale ... ? 80,000 1,0(10 " 0>. 8190 '? .$1011,000. You see at a glance that you have realized an enhanced value of $110,000, over and above the cost of the raw ma tcri.il ; which is a clear addition to the wealth of the County, from the opera tion of a single factory. Respectfully, WM. PERRY'. Pkndletcn Factory, S. C., July 24, 1ST 1. I>rur Sir: I have before me Apple fi n's Journal, in which I find industrial statistics of some cities in the St*te of New York, some of which may interest you. The city of Syracnsc, with a popula tion of 43,0S1, has a capital of 811,871, t>00 invested in 21 manufacturing estab lishments. The total value of manu factured artirlcs sold annually is $20, ?627,000. Rochester, with a population of 64, 424, has a capita) of 15,000,000 invested iu ."50 manufactories. Total valuo of manufactured goods annually is 823, 110(1,000. Auhnrn, with a population of 17,233, has 85,075.000 invested in 21 manu factories. Annual value of productions is 812,105,000. Uswego, with a population of 29,919 has 85,108,000 invested in C manu factories. Annual value of productions is 13,000,000 j L tiea, with a population ef 823.8 )4, has 80,225,000 invested in 19 manu factories. Annual value of productions is 814,801,000. While calling attention to the above named citiea, and the large amounts there invested in maanfaeteries ef var ious kinds, I do nit wish yoa to con sider them as being exceptional ss manufacturing ocntres. Snch is not the cat". You may take all the towns und cities, and villages, even, and you will find about the'same amount invested in manufacturing; in proportion, of course, to their population. Have we not* in these facts, sufficient evidence to satisfy us as to the reason why their farmers are so prosoerous, their State so populous, their cities, towns and villages so progressive and wealthy ? Is it not owing to their diversified pursuits, which make a home market for the pro duce of their farms ? The farmer, mechanic, and manufacturer, being near neighbors, buy of each ether, and sell to each other ; hence money is kept at home, and circulates freely, putting life and vigor into all pursuits. In short, the farmer cannot greatly prosper, un less he has for his neighbors the mech anic and manufacturer. For your information, as to tho rela ? tivc cost of stosm and water power to drive cotton machinery, I give below an estimate of the expenses of operating two adjoining factories, one driven by steam, the other by water. They arc both spinning fine yarn, and a careful estimate of expenses *as kept for ono month, so as to test the question of cost. In the one driuen by water, it cost oight and nine ope hundieths (08.09) cent per pound, to manufuoture. Iq tho steam mill, it oust eight and fif:y-oric hun dredths (08 50) conts per pound, to " manufacture. You will see it cost a trifle more to opcrato by steam, that) by water, looa tiou and other things being equal. If you wish further evidence, go to- Fall River, M assnchuset^s, which is now the leading cotton manufacturing otty \:\ the Uoiled, States, There you will Mud st earn lurgcly used as a motive-power. Iudeed, two-thirds of the mills are dri 7eu by steam. A friend of mine who is now tho manufacturer of Granitevillc, recently visited Massachusetts; and af I ter inspecting tbo Factories at Tall Kiv er, told me on bis return, that he would at all times prefer steam as a motive power. .You must bear in mind that the Steam Engine has bocn improved within the past few years, both as to power, and the saving of fuel. It is said we have not sufficient capi tal to go into manufacturing. I think that is a mistaken idea. Truly, money is scarce with us. Stil', can we not effect our object by co-operative means? Iff) five men cannot provide capital enough, ten, twenty, ouc hundred or five hun- i drcd can do so. Let us unito our means?jet us do, as men do elsewhere, when they wish to start a usw busings. I kuow men iu the North, who hav sev eral hundred thousand dollar.-) inve?teg in factories, aud they have net more th: n 520,000 in any one concern. They take stock iu several factories, preferring to have the risk divided. How many per sons do you know, who cau spare 8100, S200, S300, ?100, $5 ?0, or $1,000, or even ?5,000, to invest iu a lactory, and do it without crippling their prcseut business'! There are many farmers, merchants and professional men, who can spare some oue of these uiuouta, or more. It, will pay them handsomely to put ull their spare capital into a facto? ry. 1 am, respectfully. WM. PL Kit Y. Won. J. P.
