The feint was made i factored. His was an experiment in manufacturing simply. But then a few neighboring farm«-rs from Oconee, of moderate means, pleased with his experiment, purchased from him a du plicate set of machinery, not employed in bis factory, and put It up iu a com mon cotton or gin-house on one of theit farms. Their object was to man ufacture cotton ol their own produc- tion exclusively, and one of them told tbs writer l&et spring that the experi ment bad proved entirely successful.
