Eagle Cotton Mills Co.,
PlTTSBUBO, Pa., January 3rd, 1873N
. P. 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,

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.

J. P. Heed, Esq.?Dear Sir: In
answer to your inquiry I will state that
I am not a manufacturer, but have had
some knowledge .of the workings of a
steam cotton mill for tho last twenty
years.
I have been the president of the Mu

ing nothing to do with the workings of
the mill, I have kuown all about il.
About 1850, there were eight or ten
steam mills put up in Georgia. I am
sorry to say every euo of ihoui fuifcd
?f
eawbt ours. Tlie causes of their fail
ures were, 1. Thoy cost more than the
subscribed capital, 2. They were badly
constructed, and wero not properly run
by efficient men. 3. They wero badly
legated as to fuel aud transjortation

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'.

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.

WHAT IS A 'ORAltOK ?
This is a question we have of.eu
nuswsrcd beth through the columns of
our paper and privately. We give be
low one of the most ceucise and perfect
explanations of the grange aud its eb
jocts that we have ever met, and recotn-;
mend it to the study an 1 reflection of
all who feel an interest io this impor
tant movement
It is an organisation of farmers. It
has for its object improvement. It is
Resigned to elevate aud enlighten the
farmer. It would qualify him for his
God given profession, ll aims to bring
about these objects by association. It
unites those of the same calling into one
great brotherhood for the protection of
all. It establishes in svery neighbor^
hood a lecture room?which is the
grange itself?in which the important
truths are unfolded. It disseminates
valuable information, that all may be
bsnefitted. It collects as well as
disseminates. It is an intellectual insri
tution. lu calls for an exercise of the
mind. It briugs mind in contact with
mind, and yet, by the contact, other
minds arc illuminated by tho friction.
It draws our our latent talent. It makes
active aud tangible what has bceu be
fore dormant and unsceu. ll shows the
importance of cultivating brains as well
as soil. It demonstrates the fact that us
rich harvests are developed by brain
culture as by soil culture; that a great
crop of weeds bus grown up and smother,
cd out the useful plants by the nogleet
of brain culture. The grange is a social
institution. It makes a grand brothor
and sisterhood. It unites by strong
ties those that havo been beforj
strangers. It makes each feel an inter '
est iu all, and all in euch. It heals up
the wounds of the unfortunate. It
administers comforts te the sicjt and
elevates the sufferings of tho distressed.
It is a husband to the widow aud a
father to the orphan. It makes every
neighborhood, one kind, affectionate
family. It is a financial institution. It
sicks to obtain for its members the
highest price for their products;. It
looks to the good of all. It learns how
and when the price can be obtained. It
cuts the Gordian kpot which has bound
the farmer to the middle men, who has
absorbed tho chief profits of hit labor.
It buys the necessaries of life where
they can bo got cheapest pud best. It
throws its protecting arms over and
around all, and would make thorn inortv
independent.
It' is reported that tho A?t p iaiod eA
the last session of the Legislature, which
. -? ..r*-?r=r aar?
was said te be lost, revoking the power
of the Coinptroiitr-Geueral to levy taxear
in curtain cases, has been found, and it
is believed that] it w ill be approved by
the Governor. If so, does not this
render the mandamus in "the ease of
