Orr Cotton Mills resumes power with new steam engine
The Orr Cotton Mills restarted Monday after Portman Shoals lake power failure left thousands idle for months. A new upright steeple engine, with twin cylinders and a 15 foot balance wheel, provides steam power to replace electrical dependence. The move secures jobs for 450 operatives, preserves the village school, and signals planned expansion and diversification once power fully returns. President James L. Orr and Superintendent J. B. Loflin oversee operations as 25,470 spindles and 700 draper looms produce sheetings daily.
