It highlights Augusta area factories such as the Augusta factory, the Enterprise Manufacturing Company, Sibley, King, Graniteville, and Langley, with capital and dividend details and states the South remains the more inviting cotton region.

Keeley Treatment and a Drowning Death Report
A Keeley Institute claim about battling whiskey use contrasts with a later report of Miss Yeargin’s drowning near McKinnney’s Station on the Lehigh Valley line. The narrative ties to Cornell College instructor Merriam and Sage College alumna Yeargin, with lingering rumors of a New York meeting debunked by a body discovery. Yeargin’s home was Laurens South Carolina. Merriam’s was Chattanooga Tennessee.
