This “mill whistle” monument was erecteid at Clin- vton Cotton Mills last March to preserve the old whistle which served the Clinton community for 60 years (1896- 1956). Robert M.

The gleaming brass whistle pic tured above, mounted on a white cement base to form an attractive six-foot monument, actually served the Clinton area for 60 years. It started blowing time signals from atop the mills shortly after the Clin ton textile plant was first establish ed by the late Sgbrcer Silas Bailey in 1896 And the whisUe continued iU work as the industry strode forward,' until technological advances fin ally silenced its blist on December 1. 1966 The monument was erected thu past March Its atachedl piaqur reads: i linton arm*; mqj^ MILL WHLSTLE On December 1, 1956, this whistle was retired after 60 years of cotinuous service to the people of the Clinton area. Few mills anywhere in the state continue to use the old mill whistle, because new boiler systems do not provide the 100 pounds of steam pressure required to blow them. But the Clinton monument is believed to be the only one of its kind. Through the years, this whistb served as a “wake’ 'and "call’’ whisUe for the Clinton Mills em ployees. Other residents gauged time by it, and often farmers milk ed cows by it—up to five miles away.
