The following article from the .V. Y.
Star, is plain, sensible talk, and will
show tho interest Northern manufacture
are taking in Southern cotton factories.
Tho Star says :
An important question—in no way
related to polities—is just now under
discussion at the South. Tho answer
which shall he made to it concerns the
North almost as much as it concerns
those with whom it rests to give that
answer.
The question is; Shall the South
have its own cotton factories ?
Ait experiment to test the possible
advantages of sptning cotton in the
locality where it is raised has already
been made. A mill is now in full
operation at Westminister, South Caro¬
lina, and thus far the results produced
appear to have outstripped the expecta¬
tions of those who started the enter¬
prise.
The capacity of this factory is said to
lie between three and four hundred
pounds of seed cotton per day, and the
yarn manufactured finds ready sale in
New York at an average of lV>} cents,
Accenting to the Atlanta Constitution,
the cotton is taken from the gin and
bnisli on a card and comes out in a roll,
and dealers assert that the threads made
by this process rate a great deal higher
than threads made from compressed
" ^ true, and we take

, ™e only obstacle is the lack of capi
for the construction and equipment
of the mills, but if the facts support.the
accounts given of tbe work done at
Westminister factory tiiere will In'

funds. "
The carbonate fields of Colorado and
the mines of Caliafomia and Arizona
present no attractions to the prudent
capitalist iHunpitrable with those which
the manufacture of cotton at the South
with such results as we have referred to
offers. Wc are glad, therefore, to learn
