Clinton Visit Highlights Orphanage Growth and Textile Pride
The letter from Billarp recounts a Clinton stop with praise for the Thornwell orphanage, describing its 25 years of development into a village of two-story houses and a thriving school. It notes Bailey’s cotton mill, its 14,000 spindles, 450 looms, and profits, plus the impact of fair labor on workers and families in the South. The writer mourns a train wreck and shares visits to Abbeville and Greenwood, ending with a playful hotel anecdote amid reflections on liberty and home.
