Olympia Cotton Mill Promises South Carolina Growth
The Olympia Mill in Columbia, a massive new cotton plant with over 100,000 spindles, is described as the largest under one roof in the South. The article highlights 3,200 workers, electricity powered operations, and plans for worker housing and lights, detailing its architecture, machinery, and leadership under Whaley and Moore. It frames the mill as a driver of regional development, education, and social change, with notes on public utilities, rail access, and the broader impact on nearby towns and families.
