FACTORY NUMBER TWO I another cotton fact out to bb BUILT AT ONUK. Grillin’.* Growth as a Manufacturing Ontre«»A Bright and Prom¬ ising Future. Four years ago when the News printed a half page illustration of tho Griffin Cotton Mills, it labelled it “Griffin Factory No. 1.” Inside of another year the News will have to make a cut of a still larg er factory, labelled “Griffin Factory No. 2.” And within five y^ars more the Nkws bureau el illustrations will be enriched by the addition of pictures of not one but several more factories. For while ilie growth of Griffin may have seemed to some to have halted for the time, it was sunply the nalur al hesitation before taking another i*ng step forward. So easy was this step, once it was decided upon, that the forward march of Griffin’s progress will not be marked by any more stops. Tho tune to which this march is be ing made is the whir and whirl of Corliss engines and the hum and buzz of cotton machinery. For Griffin has at last Iju’ly caught the step of the manufacturer—lie who makes wealth instead of swapping dollars. Does the overture sjund loud and is the hand ail wind instruments? It is simply the bugle blast that heralds the immediate building of another cotton factory, larger than the pres ent one; which is the model mill of the South. The present one tiad a subscription of 105,000, part of which was never collected; the new one will start with <(100,000, ail as good as gold in hand. For several months past the News has intimated to its readers that a new factory was soon to be built. This morning the application for a charter appears in another column. Yesterday forenoon a number of business men met in the office of the Griffin Mills, and the following sub scriptions were made up in a lew min utes: J. M. Br&wner............$ 10,000 W. J. Kincaid............ 10,000 S. Grantland.............. 10,000 W. E. II. Searcy........... 10,000 J. D. Boyd................ 5,000 A. Seheuerman............ 5,000 Mrs. S. M. Bai’ey......... 5,000 F. G. Bailey.............. 5,000 D. J. Bailey, Jr............ 5,000 W. E. H. Searcy, Jr........ 5,000 D. H. Peden............. 2,000 A. S, Murray.............. 1.500 J no. I. Hall................1,000 W. E. Drewry............ 1,000 Mrs. Mary Fo wler.......... 1,000 B. N. Barrow............. 500 <(78,000 There was no urging or soliciting for this subscription, It wa* all made up at once and the full $100,000 will be made up before next Satur day. Griffin subscribers will receive a preference, but there are outsiders ready and waiting if there should be any balance necessary. The success of the present mill is what has made the building of the new one so easy; and as that success was almost entirely due to President Kincaid, it was in fitting complioiei.t that the stockholders decided to name the new company “The Kincaid Manufacturing Company,” While, of course, there has been no organiza tion as yet, it is understood that Mr. Kincaid will be made president ot the company, and that other first class business and public-spirited citizen, Mr. J.M. Brawner, will be treasurer. Both of these gentlemen will take a pride in lending their best efforts !• the enterprise. Work will be begun as soon as the weather opens and the building i» expected to be ready by August 1st, and the machinery to be running by November. The class ol goods basnet yet been fully decided upon. It is intended, however, to make it the best and most modern mill in the. South, with full equipments for the highest grades of goods. This will add four hundred inoro to the population of Griffin, besides giving employment to many people already here. Some idea as to the pecuniary benefits to the town may b* gained from tha fact that while •40 represents the value of a new bale ol cotton, when manufactured it is worth three limes that much, and ali this extra $80 remains in the town where the goods are made. Newuan and I.aGrange and other towns which are struggling to put up their first mills may well profit by the example of what Griffin is do ing ot! hand.

He has simply directed the attention ol the country to the need of such legislation us will stop the growing surplus, and has made some pointed suggestions as to how the reduction of tho revenues cun bo made io accomplish the desired re suit. i.

The piatfotms of both parties are very clear or. the revenue question. The Republicans, when in power, promised to review tariff and reduce taxation, but they never did either, nor did they even make the attempt. Now the Demo eruts are in a position to carry out the pledges made in *84, and here it is ‘88 and no move to fulfill their promis e. Tn» President in his mes sago has informed hi, party that the country will look to it for tha relief it promised and I believe that relief wilt be forthcoming at an early day. My people am not so deeply ed in the tariff as in other of the country. They care more their State government, and when bill ia introduced like that of Cbaudleris it startles them, and dark days of reconstruction come fore lh r m again.
