( ', ( Icntlcmcn : Your letter of 2-llh Inst. wns duly received; in which you nsk my opinion as to Hie practicability and advisability of building a cut ton mill ai Laurens lo Le driven Ly doiim power. Whore w ter power is conve niently located to transportation, and the power itself is easily con trolled and i- fl. from (hinger of damages by high water, and the witter supply ls timple nil the your, and the locution healthy, il i- very ni mil belier and cheaper than steam, because thc expense of tho j power is very -nmI!, where..- steam j power is taxed with a daily expense ?or fuel, bremen, engineer etc. Hut ; i bc ndvuntngos of water power cnn i be practically overe?me by thc j inconvenience of its locution, and the absence of some or all of the other essentials ? have mentioned. ; The perfection to which steam power has been brought and the j cheapness of fuel with the prospect i of Its still being cheaper when new I and other coal desposlts are devel I oped, with railroad facilities in ev i erv direction, i- constantly eeono ? mixing steam power ns compared ? with water. Some of the liest and most successful e.dion mills in the ' ? country, and at the South, are tmw j being rut by steam power and (hat ! i- likely to increase as the country j grows bider mid that industry In crease with it, as well as many oth er Industries that can bo properly operated here. Ii -i. ike- ino that Laurens i- a favo ra bl . location for > cotton mill, you have there, many of the ele ments n.ep- m ry for success, such a plenty of tin? desirable kind of hi ller; a good cotton market, cheap living etc, and If 1 were consider ing Investing in a mill there, I should not object seriously that it was to be driven by -donni pow er. Tho Hrs! thing to do is to raise your Capital Stock, and you must get a large part of that at home. Il will be Idle for you to attempt to rai-e it, or any considerable part of it elsewhere, unless your own peo ple go into it freely and liberality themselves. Capitalists are too cautious and suspicious, and wiselp so, to -end (heir money Into a com munity to build it up, and develop it, where tho people living in it, ure afraid to, or w ill not, put their own money in it. ami tin- has prevented several enterprises from being car ried out to my knowledge in this State-Capitalists want the people at home, largely Identified with any enterprise t bey nut 1 heir mo ney into. They want this to pro tect it against local prejudices, ad verse1 legislation, and that it shall have the sympathy and moral sup port of the people living around lt. Your capital being rnisori, tho next thing ls lo decide upon the kind of goods to bo made, und in till , I would depart somew hat from the kinds made by most of the M ills around us, w hich are for tho most three quarters, to standard, sheet ing, I would make a tlnei and ligh ter goods. The tendency of consumption I' MI that direction, and yon would have less competition in tin snleof your goods. lt would take less cotton timi eon udmontly Ie-.- com mercial capital, reduce your Into* rcd account, as wadi. A Uer that ls decided, then em ploy a first class mill engineer to make your plans, nt.(I follow 'hem to t he lot ter. Yon cant (ir: t build your Mill buildings, and then buy the Machin ?ry to g i Into it : it wont tit, you must first decide upon the m B-BBMBW Machinery and then build a build? ing (o (abe it In, Many enterprises havo been fa t.illy ruined, by trying to econo mizo In thin particular. The ex pense may appear large, but it will be 1 lie cheapest tbing you pay for, and you must bo careful in your selection and bo sure you have got a good and skillful engineer who can give you tho advantage of ali the modern Improvements for cheapening tho cost of your goods and improving their quality. Tho size ol your mill mid its ca pacity should he measured by the amount of money you have to spend, hunt go blind, and lind yourself in debt when your Mill ls completed. More enterprises have failed and gone into bankruptcy on that ne caunt than all others combined, keep within your means. Your plans should he mude, und careful estimates made, strictly with rofo rsnee to your means to pay, if you cant pay for it dont begin. You can i build your buildings suns to add more machima y when you ure able | to pay for it, if you have not money j enough to lill lt nt once, but keep out of debt. Von may estimate that $'.>5,0Qper -pindle, i< the least you will build your Mill i?.r. to make heavy goods It ts moro likely to cost more than less. A ml upon this estimate you might build a building (bat would take in H?.non spindle and !J0I) looms and only put o.otii) spindles and lob ; launs nt present, willi \\ pud no capital o ff2(10.000. Th I .s wo tl ld prob ably have you something for com mercial capital, which von will timi tint! you will need very badly. Then be very careful and buy the very best machinery. My experi ence i<, that the best tItot is made ls not good enough. I then have it set up Wy competent mon. They | ar generally furnished by ibo shop where t be nundi in erv is build. They prefered to do it. Then after all, the success or failure nf a mill de pends upon Its management, inside and outside, nfter it has been built and ready to start. It is a great mistake to suppose thal the ditllcul- j ties with a mill ends when it is completed and ready to start, they commenced from that point. It re quires a greater variety <>f talent j to manage a mill properly, amt get ' out of it, all that is in il, than any i business I know. Th ed lift rent do part men ts must ho handed by .skill ful und competent men. 'l ite fall-, ure to make money i> more fro quent ly, than otherwise, the result1 of bad management. The goods; maybe ever so cheaply and weir n ne le i n the Mill, and all thc advan tages squandered by bad manage-' meat in the ellice of thc President . and Treasurer, ami thc contrary.! But all these ran overcome hy thc exercise of good Judgment In (he selection of y mir operators and olllccrs, with referent'?'to their lit-, ness for their respective position. Tin y may require Sotuc education, at the expense of the stockholders, but if they have nat?til capacity, and application they will succeed. If thev dont applv thein.selvos thev wiii flin, li* (his mill is buill und properly und mece--fully managed, the ad vantage- of it to your town and, country, hurd ly he estimated, and voa never will appreciate it until ?I bas been done and you have rea I i/.et I it. The people ol tbi- country must, une eventually will learn that they never i-ati attain that high degree of prosperity and independence b> which they uro capable, by follow ing only ont? occupation. Agricul ture is the basis of nil prosperity, and should be encouraged and as sisted in every possible way, but it cnn; prosper alone, Tho pursuits und industries of every country inti-t li? diversified, and is so done, in every prosperous community, in the world. Labor is (ho ea pi tal of :i country, and s I uni bl be applied to all those pursuits which any par ticular location, climate und facil ities favor and invite. Then each pur-nit aids all thootders,and they all grow ami prosper together. Wc pay at IMedmonl $120.0(10 :< year for labor and services, all in money. Lund has advanced In that immedi ate vicinity, live hundred per cent, since the mill was built, and the people for miles around are pros pering as they in ver did b. fore. ? They understand thc meaning of diversifying tho pursuits of a com munity. NM inland town in this country, ' can or ever did, or will, grow und ? prosper, beyond a limit, measured i by the local demand for the supplies required by a limit inca of count ry, wit bout di ver.-itied Industries, by their own people, in their o wu town, prod md ti g such com mod I ties as th*\v are prepared to make,and in which people are employed and paid mo ney for their labor. Railroads dont build up towns. They afford facllltlesfor thcdevel opmomt of snell enterprises and in dustries as (he location favors, and i without these industries tho peo ple do not prosper beyond thc lim itai have described. Trade cannot j he pushed profitably beyond its le gitimad* limits. Tin* industries may not all bc large 'mes, necessa rily.
