Progress In the Building -Heady for the Painter and (Hauler The Fac tory Village What Was Done at Tuesday's Meeting. The stockholders of the Lanrcns Cot ton Mill have deolded to increase the capital stock of the mill from two hun dred thousand to three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Not many months gone the average i .aureus man would have flouted the idea that such a mill would be built in Laurens. Once it seemed that Lau rons was not and would never be in the mill building business. But it is. settled now. Already a splendid four-story structure crowns the big hill in the angle of the Laurens and Nowberry and P. R. & W. C. rail roads, in the eastern part of the elty. It is a handsome and Substantial build ing, designed to. meet all the require ments for the production of cotton goods, by the best and most economical methods known to modern manufac turing. It is daily nearlng completion. It is the simple truth to say that one may stand by and see tho walls of the engine and bollor rooms rise before'his eyes. It is a wonderful sight, tho scone of industry at the mill move?everything moves at the Laurens Cotton Mill, and under the constant watch of President Lucas, the motion Is like clockwork. Tho roof is on the building and the doors aiv. laid. In a few days the ceil ings will be completed. In a month tho painters and the glaziers will have finished their labors. When the ma. chinery begins to arrive on Novembor 15th, there'll be no wait. The house will bo ready for it and it will be promptly put in. Boforo tho closing days of the winter tho clash and the clatter and the hum will begin, and a column of blank smoke will pour from the mouth of the 190 foot stuck. The mill will be in opera tion. A few yards farther to the east, tho hills will be covered with a village of neot cottages. The ''town" has been laid out and tho construction oi the cottages commenced. the increase in capital. It came about in this way. Tho man agement of the mill, being sensible mon, understand that the bigger the mill, tho cheaper, proportionately, can it bo operated. The investment of $200,000 was sufficient to convinoe men with money that it is intended that the Laurens mill shall make money. It was therefore thought feasible and good policy to put in as big a plant as possible. Comparatively, it will cost little more to place engines and boilers for a $350,000 mill than for the $200,000 mill. It w ill cost relatively little more to ofllcer the larger than the smaller mill. In short, the prinoiple of "di vision of labor" makes the profit to the investment vastly greater, the bigger tho plant. Anybody thon can see that the in ducement to tako the new stock is much stronger than it was to take the old stock. For with the enlargement of the mill it is certain that the stock will earn very much better dividends. Knowing this; and knowing that iL WfW - practical to increase, the company promptly detormlned to do so. the meeting Of stockholders was hold at 11 A. M., last Tuesday, in Mr. N. B. Dial's of fice. Over 1600 shares were repre sented. Capt. Albert Dial presided, and Dr. J. P. Simpson was secretary. On Motion of Mr. W. H. Martin, tho increase already stated was unani mously resolved upon, subscribers to tho new stock to come in on the same terms as the origiual takers. The lat ter, until November 1st, are to be al lowed the privilege of taking the new stock (as is usual with all coropora tions) in preference to outsiders. Tho first installment on the new stock will not be called In before Jan. 1st. No doubt remains that tho additional stock will be subscribed with alacrity. It is generally understood that the progress already made in the enter prise has been remarkably encour aging and satisfactory. the builders. The fact that Laurens will have her big mill Is due mainly to the ability displayed by tho gentleman who has boen chosen president. Few men could so have impressed investors in tho putting in of a plant as to encour ago them to double its size before oper ations had bogun. So far as The Ad vertiser is aware, there is no parallel to this in tho history of cotton mills in South Carolina. Croat credit in the building of the mill is also due to Mr. II. S. Chadwick, of Charlotte-, N. O. the engineer and architect. Mr. Chadwick thoroughly understands mill building, and what is bettor, ho knows how to design a good building, suited to its purposes, which will not cost a mint of money. No young man in the country is doing more for mill construction In tho South than Mr. H. 8. Hardwlck, and It has been largely through his efforts and influence that northern capitalists have become interested, not only in tho Laurons mill, but in various others throughout this section. Mr. Oscar Smith, of Minneapolis, Minn., came last week to attend col lege hero. Ho was a student here year before, last, and his class will welcome him back. ? Nowberny Herald and News.
