Gkeenwood, May 22, 18G3. I At a meeting of the citizens cf Green wood and vicinity, ladies and gentlemen, called for the purpose of taking steps towards the erection of a card factory, Tier ! S. Donnely was called to the chair, and J k. J arrant, l'J-q., appointed to act as Soclelary. Tnc Chairman opened the meeting with prayer, and then explained tlio object ol the mooting. That it was to devUe somt plan hy which cotton cards may bo manu facturcd and furnished to the fa mi lie: around us at a much cheaper rate than at present; that it was to be a ladies enter prise; and that it was to be freo from al ! speculation. After Bomo remarks tho following roaolu Lion was adopted: Resolved, That,the factory proposec shall be an entirely benevolent institution the object of which shall be to furnish cot ton cards afc cost.Ou motion, Resolved, That a Committee of Sevei bo appointed to ascertain the probable expense of putting such a factory in operation, and tho probability of collecting sufii cient funds for this purpose, and report tt this meeiing at an early da}'. Said committee were instructed to report a draft of a constitution and by-law; for tho future government of the institu tion. This committee were also instructei to publish the proceedings of this meetinj in the daily papers, and to solicit contiibu tions to the enterprise. The following persons were olected t< constitute said committee; Rot. S. Dou nelly, Chairman ; J. R. Tarrant, Esq , Gen Junes Gillam, James Creswcll, A Her Vance, Dr. Charles It. Moseley, L. D. Mer rimm. The meeling then adjourned, to meet ai this place on Friday, the 29ih instant, a 10 o'clock. The committee would call the attentioi t>i wie puuiic 10 the tact that this is to b< :i strictly benvolent institution and a patriotic enterprise, whose object it shall b' to furnish cartls to families at the simpli cost of production, the capital being al furnished by voluntary contributions. Ant now, that the ent^rpnze is found in an ^or ganized slate, with a committee to receivt contribuions and make arrangements foi putting the establishment in operation, we the members of said committee, do hereby ?nvite all the friends of the cause to send in their contributions at once to the Chairman, or some member of the committee, giving their namet and postojfl.ee address, distinctly, nil of which shall bo carefully recorded, together.with the sums received "\Ve woul d hero slate that Mr. E. L. Kcrrison, of Columbia, p. gentleman verj favorable to the enterprise, has already ordered two card making machines, with the view of furnishing them to this association." What will be the actual cost of such machinery, now that ^-eights and exchauge "fare so very high, the committee are not now prepared to say; we feel assured, however, that when the capital is fumishod to buy and import the machinery, the cards can be afforded at a very moderate expense. Coine then, one and all, lend a helping hand at on e to this enterprise, that we may be ready to go to work a9 kudu ua uiu niHuiiinery can ue gonen from Europe. Time is ngoney, and especially so in Litis matter when the cotton factories cannot possibly supply the demand for cloth, and when cards aro from $25 to $30 a pair. J. Jt. TARRANT, Secretary. N. IJ.?
