of this city has so much development
In the way of building been in prog
ress as is in progress at this time.
This building includes residences,
school buildings, cotton mills and
other items along the line of building.
The two biggest building proposi
tions that are in progress at this time
Is the doubling and a little more of
the capacity of the Avondale mills.
In other words, 22,000 spindles are
being added to the 20,000 spindle mill
now in operation, and it tHll require
at least 75 cottages to house th$ ex
tra operatives that will be' required
to operate the big addition being
made to this mill.
Over on the other side of the city
the Russell Manufacturing company
is erecting another big cotton mill,
which will make the sixth mill owned
and operated by the Russell Manufac
turing company In this city, and it is
quite probable that this mill will be
in operation by the first of the year,
adding several hundred people to the
population of this community.
