Local Nows. WKDXtiSL'AY, DHU. 1?. llM?. Ur. R. S. Kill Interviewed. The phenomenal industrial develop* mont in tho city and county of Ander son within the last few years lins pro duced a lramo of mind in our peoplo highly appreciative of every effort? founded ou solid business principios, made to steadily increase this develop ment; and in no instance has this hern so clearly manifested as in tho efforts made by our townsman, ll. S. Hill, ?li rected to tho building of another largo cotton mill. Only a few weeks' have elapsod since Mr. Hill announced his intention to organizo and build a mill, and already there has been subscribed, locally, moro th.m ?21)0,000. This is considerably mo ie (han was oversub scribed, locally, to any enterprise at tempted in this County, and demon strates that our people aro luily alive to tho fact that natural conditions tire rapidly moving th?1 cotton mills from thi; Mast to tho South, ami that no in vestment promises Mich rich rewards as cotton mills. Meeting Mr. Hill yesterday wo in quired, "How an; you progressing with your iiiillf' lie rephd : "Splendidly, anil wo are thinking seriously of organ izing soon. Aside from sumo right lib eral amounts outside, our uncondi tional subscriptions secured from peo ple in tho city and county of Anderson, now aggregates moro than $2tX),000." "Well, Mr. Hill," wo continued, "when will you close your subscrip tions?"' "Wo do not wish to close subscrip tions earlier than tho middle or latter part of January, at which time we hope to be ready for organization. How ever, in consequence of higher raw ma terial an advance in mill machinery seems probable, and rather than pay higher prices, wo would prof?ra small er mill with as low a cost as is consist ent with the beat equipment." Should you decide to organize at so early a date, will you maintain tho de termination to equip free from indebt edness?'' "Certainly. Wo proposo to adhere, strictly to our idea of placing no orders for machinery, and contracting no debt on the plant beyond tho amount the bona lido subscriptions to the capi tal stock, taken in legal shape, as near as we can approximate, will cover." "What are your immediate prospects for additional subscriptions?" . They ar? veiy lb Hering, but our fi i-uds who have signified their inten i into Ink? stock willi us, or to in ciense their subscriptions, and are de laying, considering what amount they will take or increase to, may bo disap pointed in both if they defer thu mat ter much longer." "What aro your prospects as to out side subscription?" "We very much prefer havinga largo majority of our stock hold at and near home." As wo wore bidding Mr. Hill trood day, and thanking him for tho inter view, ile remarked : "It is hardly ne cessary for mo to remind you that An derson County ranks second in the State iii the manufacture of cotton, and this State ranks second in thu United States." Wo were not thinking of ir at tho time, but it is a fact that the S tat? of .1/ussnv.huseUs. alone, loads Sooth Carolina in colton manufacturo. Mr. Hill is otu* ot Andern?m's most sntracioiir) und successful business men. All ?d' his busboys enterprises have boen successful, anionic which was tho founding of tho Fanners' mid Mer chants' lian U, of tiiis city, nf w hich hu TM ('resident. Ilia experience and prac tical judgment cannot fail to carry to success nuy enterprise ho undertakes, and it is to bo boped that those who have taken an interest in theostab lishiueutof this UOW mill will deter mine upon making it the largest and best equipped mill tu Anderson.
