i PUBLIC MEETING IN GREENWOOD.
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.

Secretary.

A roll of counterfeit fi'a were picked
up in Dr. Legan'a back lot a few days

were in camp under guard. . We examined
all theae counterfeits, and comparec
them with the genuine. The distirctiom
in many of thero would be hard to de
Buribe without the bills to explain it. Tin
