r THE QAFFNEY LEOQER. Tuesday and Friday. Ed. H. DaCamp, Editor and Publlahor THE COTTON MILL SITUATION. Th* * 1 article on the mill situation which appeared in our last issue was written under the assumption that the meeting at Spartanburg was in every sense of the word a represen tative one, and that all the mills in the State had decided to close down rot late r than July 1st. Since then, however, we have found that this is not the case. None of Gaffney s mills were represented at this meeting and the management of the Anderson mills and tnose of Greenville have is sued statements to the effect that the mills in those counties do not ex pect to close down. In a conversa tion with a well known mill man of Gaffney on Tuesday, he informed us that his mill had no idea of shutting down on July 1st or at any other time. That the close of his fiscal year which would be on May 1st. the mill with which he is connected- will have had the most prosper ous year of its existence, except one. The gentleman went on to say that while the demand for cotton goods was nothing like as strong as the mill people roul^l wish, yet the situa tion does not appear near as hopeless and as discouraging as it was a few years ago when the mills had such a hard time. “We do not.” said he. “expect to face a situation as grave THE MERRIMAC MILLS.
