Economic case for a cotton factory in Cuthbert sparks growth
The essay argues a $100,000 cotton mill in Cuthbert would require about 150 workers, add 500 residents, boost weekly payroll by $1,000, lift local business and real estate, and increase cotton receipts from 10,000–13,000 to 15,000–20,000 bales, with broader county benefits. similar logic applies to Bainbridge. It also notes the Willingham bill as a strict Georgia prohibition measure with penalties for violations.
