Which Add a Full Share to the Success of the
City.
(Columbus haB long since been specially noted
jut a manufacturing town. It has been thought
1 #y many that our cotton factories alone give the
,*jty this distinction. This is not the case,
though cotton manufacturing is the principle
industry, as a careful perusal of this paper will
demonstrate. It will also show beyond all con*
iroversy that the industries of the city are us
diversified as those of uny city in the
southern states. Columbus has the largest iron
foundry in the south. Here we have as com
plete a fertilizer factory as can be found any
where. Our oil mills are equal to any. More
enterprising institutions than scores of others
*re not to be found anywhere.
A round of the cotton factories of the city by an
Hnqciker-Sun representative shows an eminent
ly satisfactory condition of the labor which these
uiillwhave to do. The cotton mills of eveiy city
employ the larger proportion of its factory labor. A
flour mill with $100,000 capital will employ
twenty or twenty-five hands, an iron foundry
double as many, whde acotton mill of that capital
would give employment to perhaps '2f>0or300.
All the mills are running lull time and are selling
all the goods they can make. The labor generally
is at p cscnt in better condition than at any time
heretofore in the city and better than that of any
other manufacturing city in all the country. The
basis of this is the high maximum of wages
paid, the high rate of health and moral, the
homo surroundings and personal appearance of
fche operatives.
lu tiie columns below will be found more par
ticular mention of some of the leading inatitu-
ttons of the city.
KAGLK AND PllKMX MILLS.
The Largest Textile Manufacturing Coin puny In
the South—Something About it* Organization
and its Preseut Work.
The cut of this leading industry of our city,
which is given elsewhere, fails to represent the
magnitude of their work, many of the important
buildings being hid from view, and others built
subsequent to its execution. This company was
organized in 1866, a.most immediately succeed
ing the war, the first mill being builton the ruins
•f the Eagle Manufacturing Company, destroyed
by the torch of the federal troops. The long
period of profitable manufacturing by the Eagle
Manufacturing Company, established the fact
that textile manufacturing in the south was not
enly a business to be sought as a means of profit
able investment, but a most important factor in
promoting the general prosperity of the commu
nities where established.
TneEagle and PhenixManufucturingCompany,
rising pheenix-like from the ashes of its prede
cessor, has continued to grow in magnitude and
importance, covering now seven acres of ground
within its walls.
ITS MANUFACTUttKA
embrace nearly one hundred itilfeient styles of
goods, the quality and salableness of which are
not surpassed by the longest established mills of
the east and north.
THKIR TBADfl
embraces every southern state, and includes the
great northwest and California, while many of
their fabrics are sold aired to the merchants of
New York. One of the most promising features
of an increasing trade is found in the constantly
growing demand by the west for their manufac
tures. That section of our country,teeming with
its millions of people, buys with such avidity
their goods that it has been impossible to supply
the demand from tout section.
TUB INCREASE OF POPULATION
by these immense woiks is estimated at fully
10,0(h» persons, of which about 6000 are dependent
for their living through employment furnished
them and heads of families, besides which it has
influenced merchants, bankers, professional and
other business men, and all classes of artisans
and mechanics to locate in our midst. The trade
of the city is immeasurably benefited by the
necessarily large amount of wages distributed oy
such extensive works, and hardly an individual,
from the mechanic to the banker through all
grades of business, but feel the beneticieut effects
of the largest manufacturing company south lo
cated in our midst.

varying ftrom $1,500,000 to $1,750,000, and accoid-

THE SAVINGS DBPARTMBKT
of this institution is a notable feature. The un
equalled security offered depositors and its proper
management, has rendered it a complete success.
It has attracted the attention of for distant
communities; the deposits being represented b
seventeen states and territories. The depositors

popular goods, to’order additional looms, which
will soon be in position.
r In the year 82-sthe president of this company,
Mr. W. H. Young, stood on the spot where these
mills are now located, and expres ed the cp nion
that it was the proper place to locate a manufac

ganized and operated the Eagle Manufacturing
Company, and was principal and active < rg.u.-

The Muscogee Oil Company is another live and
busy institution. About thirty hands are kept
bard at work from early morn till dewy eve, and
the result of their labors is about 750 gallons of
first-class oil per day. The mills consume about
twenty tons of cotton seed daily. This turns
out about 750 pounds of cotton seed meal to the
ton. The mills are already thoroughly identified
with the community, as they have been in active
operation for a number of years. The demand
for the goods which they mannfucture is great,
and is continually i creasing. The character of
•he oil they make ranks high in the estimation
of the commercial world, and is « agerly sought
for by the consumers. There is a big demand
f ur their meal also, which is ef a most excellent

beauty aud durability. Loug study and close
application to business, with a natural mechan
ical talent inherited from their father, the la-
j men ted Mr. George Golden, one of the best me
chanics who ever piicd a tool in Columbus, has
made them masters in all kinds of work in iron
and brass.
All friends of Columbus can but be pleased to
note the progress of these young men, and will
do all in their power to promote the interest of
an enterprise so important to the city.
As rapid as has been the growth of the business
of this firm during the past llw
years, every indication is that a still richer har
vest awaits them. The firm have established
riicmselves securely, and are determined not to
turn out any inferior work and to do their work
as cli ap as anybody. They have carried out this
determination in the past, and we see no reason
to doubt that they will do so in the future. They ;
, have the pluck and business qualifications to
carry out anything they undertake. Abundant
success to Golden Bros., say we, and may they
, reap a golden harvest of gain.
Golden Bros, have penetrated sections remote
from Columbus with their work and reputation.
When the iron work of a mill, or of any other
piece of machinery breaks in the sections of coun
try adjacent to Columbus, the first thought is to
either take the broken piece to Golden Bros., or
if this is impracticable, to send to their shops for
a skilled workman to do the repairing. It has
too long been a popular fallacy among people
progress and success; nor could it be otherwise
than successful under its able management. Mr.
W. K. Brown, the president, is one of Columbus’
most substantial and sol d business men, and
the other directors or stockholders, whose names
appear in the handsome display “ud” on another
page, are also among the best citizens of Colum
bus.
The EnqimrkrSin representative went
through the establishment u few days ago and
found over ‘200 hand* engaged in working iu the
iron, steel and wood. The pay roll amounts each
week to over $2000, thus giving support to about
1309 people. Of this number of machinists there
are about 175 who are in the Iron department,
while about 60 are engaged in the wood .1-p~"‘-

THE ONLY ONE IN GEORGIA.
A Deep at the Columbus Bagging Factory. Which
Shows Up a Large aud Prosperous I ns t it ti
ll e n.
Columbus has the honor of having the only
bagging factory in the state. Besides b< ing the
only one iu the state, it is the largest institution
of the kind in the south. The members of the
firm, Messrs. Hinde, Freer Si Illges, are among
the best business men of the city, and are mak
ing a gieat success of the business. The factory
has been in operation here about eight years,
and has been paying well from the start. The
capital used is $75,000. all of it being their own.
The mill has eight looms, and daily converts 6000
pounds of jute into 3000 yards of bagging. These
goods find ready sale in Georgia, Alabama,
Florida and other states in the cotton belt, aud
the factory here finds no trouble iu competing
with northern prices.
The /factory employs on an average about
sixty-five hands, most of whom are females.
They work ten horn's a day and are paid well.
The firm furnishes bagging for thousands and
thousands of bales of cotton which find their
way into this market. The enterprising mem
bers of the firm do all that is possible to accom
modate their patrons and the success with which
they have met is a monument to their integrity
and enterprise. Tfce history of this factory proves

fact that it so cliorpens labor that she improved
implements and substantial and ornamental

Their machinery is of such character that the
work of days on the old plan is now but \ ht- work
of a few minutes. They furnish sne.h articles as
are in demand all over the country, ano furnish
them at such low figures that it is really cheaper
to buy a house of them ready made than to make

I'llK MUSCOGEE MILL*.
Ail Excellent lU-pulatiou Hom-tlv Earned nun
Well Deserved—Facts About the Institution.
The Men Who Mnnnue It.
Among the many nianutfacturing enterprises ,
that have arisen in Columbus great and small,
no industrial establishment has achieved large]- j
success for the capital invested than the Musco- •
gee Manufacturing Company, whose mills are
situated at the head of the rock dam near the
upper bridge Many handsome improvements !
have been recently made, and a large amount of :
first-class machinery added. The productive :
capacity of these mills may be briefly summed
up ns follows: Looms, 258; spindb-s. 6090; cotton ,
consumed per week, 10 bales, and 13,(’GO yard
of cloth per day, containing 35,280.(00 yards of
Unread. The number of operatives employed fa
‘ huge institutions, hut there nro few outside of
, those directly interested who ate aware of what
! it lakes in the way of uiftive power to turn over
•' 20,000 looms aud 60,000 jpindles. It requires
. eighteen wheels with .tons horse-power, besides
| four stenui engines with 315 horse power, and
1 elevcu boilers with 975 horso-power. The bands
| on the wheels go at the lightning speed of about
j a mile a minute, but in order to drive them at
| this rate for eleven hours a day it takes 38,000
pounds of coal per day, besides the water-power
j used by the eighteen wheels During the day
there are 206,000 pound® of water converted into
i steam.
Speaking of the factories reminds us that cot
ton is a gri at thing, hut the process of convert-
1 ing a bale of cotton into a square inch or so of
I domestic is a very simple one, and amazingly
easy and rapid. Ah in so many other eases, the
first step is half the journey. The person who,
with bent and aching back and cramped fingers,
pulls the fleecy lock from the burr on the stalk
1 expends more* effort and consumes more piiysical
tissue than docs any other one of the small army
of individuals through whose hands or under
■ whose eye it passes on its way to the counter and j
. into your possession. Once in the picker’s bag, i
, human fingers are well nigh done
with it. From I he gin to the

worried and hauled about after a fashion that 1
falls to the lot of perhaps no other material or

is, as said, an amazingly easy and rapid one, ■
