It did not take the China Grove Mill long to get successfully under way. As we recall the mill has been in operation only a year or two, yet the directors Tuesday voted to double the capacity of the plant.
The stockholders of this mill are mostly local people, many from the county contributing to the sum total of the capital. The success which has come to the ills ought to encourage others of like nature. It shows how a community may cooperate to the common good.
The success of the China Grove mill is running along with the Rowan, a manufacturing plant financed and built in like manner by local capital in the large, yet all under the eye of a well established and eminently successful textile manufacturer, Mr. A.C. Lineberger. In the Rowan mill the local management has developed a very successful leadership in Mr. Davis, while the China Grove mills find a similar leadership under Mr. Rutledge, a capable man of considerable experience under the Cannons, of Concord and Kannapolis.
Delighted with the splendid successes of these two mills, each of which is comparatively new, ought to encourage the people of the county to still further pool their investments in local industries that will not only make money for them, but build up pay rolls for the community and thus further enrich our good county industrially.
There are quite enough dollars in the county to build manufacturing plants which should prove equally as successful as these two here discussed. If we may be excused for saying it here, we have looked too much to some failures made and not enough to our local successes. Forget the failures and establish other successes.
