Large Dividends Paid.
Greenville.—Several hundred thou
sand dollars in dividends were paid to
the stockholders of cotton mills and
banks In and around Greenville July 1,
according to statements obtained from
the different institutions. It repres
ents the largest output of money on
the earnings of the industry and the
banking establishments In their hos-
tory. Some of the plants, which for
good and sufficient reasons hare not
declared dividends for some time, paid
handsome returns on the stock.
The handsome dividends which the
directors voted to pay reflects the
prosperity of the mills and the banks
and the stock is advancing in value
every day. There is an unprecedented
demand for both bank and mill stocks
and very little of the former stock
can be purchased, while mill stocks
are taken up as soon as they are listed
with the brokers. Mill stocks are
being purchased both for investment
and speculative purposes and the of
fice of any reputablfe Stock broker is a
beehive of activity. Persons of all
claases are buying stock and “getting
rich,’ one broker added.
Most of the stocks in the banks and
cotton mills is now held by South
Carolinians, and during the past few
years there has been much of the cot
ton mill stocks sold by Northern hold
ers to 6outh Carolinians.
