At Macon, Manager J. F. Hanson, of
the Bibb Manufacturing Company’s
two cotton mills, has lately put in a
good deal of new machinery. These
mills have made a record of which the
company have a right to be proud.
There are about 450 hands employed,
all told, and the weekly pay-roll runs
up to about $8,000. The hands are paid
off every Saturday and paid in cash,
something different from many mills
where the store-check system is in
vogue. The daily output of yarn from
the IS,000 spindle's amounts to about 14,-
000 pounds, and thirty-live bales of cot
ton are used. Only once, for six weeks
in 1880, during twelve years have the
mills been run on short time. Their
markets are the world at large. Maj.
Ilanson says the demand is now very-
good.
