It has been pcr?lntoritly rumored
on 'he streets of Anderson for tho
past two days that tho Conneross
Twhio mill of tills city ibas been
sold, tho price being a ?um which
Taimes from 1200,000 tb vS&?.G??, ln
cluditig tho contracts for tho output
for the iicx,t ia months. This, it is
5? kl, ls considered a tremendous
'nigh price for tho plant, considering
its real valuo or cost of construc
tion, but when it is considered that
.the ordortf Included consist of asbes
tos yarn, a product much in demand
tit this time, it is probable that this
might be tho caso.
Tho president or tho mill and prin
cipal stockholder, Mr. Albert 8.
Farmer, ls now In Philadelphia or|
New York, having left Anderson laat
Wednesday."
' Ono of tho stockholders was asked1
about tho rumor yesterday and hoi
stated that bo had heard the same
thing but that be hud no definite
knowledge of any transaction oil
that kind, and hardly believed it to [
be true. Ho stated that carly Sun
day morning ho wns approached
about tho matter and at once hurried
to tho telegraph office to eeo if there
was any message from Mr. .Farmer.
Th ero W4? none at that timo und he j
otntcd .that ho had not been inform-1
ed of tho ?alo, if such had boon mado,
and that ho had not attached any j
Importance to tho ourrent roport.
However, this gentleman stated |
that about oho month ?go a repre
sentativo from, a firm In tho east was
In Anderson ' end tried to buy the
output of tho mill for tho norrt 12
months tit a.specif led price. He waa
told that this could not bo done and
that tho only, way ho could .secure
this output would be to buy tho mill.
Ho thon asked1 what it would be sold
for and a prlco waa put on it which
was thought by the ono making Ul
to bo more than one . would' want to |
pay for lt. ? v
Up until carly last ;fall tko Con
noroao mill had been making ordi
nary twine. Last munumi- Mr. .Far
mer waa In the. north and became ac-1
qualntod with some mon Interested I
In the manufacturo of asbestos -yarn.
Mr. Farmer concluded that lt would
pay hint to chango his machinery, the
cost of which waa not so groot sirre
oumo of that on hand could bo used,
and: thia waa dono. Contracta werai
marin rm- sL&h?Rt{>a yarn1 and 'shortly!
after warda a carload of tho raw. as
beaton waa received. Soon * af tor-,
wards1 tho, manufacture of this kind]
of twine waa be?un in Anderson.
ABbcstoa yarn is being used ox-,
.tcnslvoly in Europa at thia i!ao bV|
carnie nf tho war.' it 1? used In wrap-,
ping tho exterior of tho chambers of
tho rapid firing guns and tho price |
paid for It haw atcadlly.-' lncroased.
; The Y local plant has beton aomowht?t
handicapped 'because of tho delay, of
Elilpments of raw asbestos from, tho
miuoB in .Canada, but, notwithstand
ing, thm fact, much of the finish**!
product has been put out, causing
the profits of the mill lo Inuroaso
very materially, it ls said.
