All Run by Electricity Olympia Mill's Electric Power Revolution
Special correspondence describes Columbia South Carolina's Olympia Mill as the world’s finest electrically driven cotton mill. It notes five power plants, 10 000 horsepower capacity, 1 500 white workers, and a New England village for operatives with hospitals schools and churches. The article credits W B Smith-Whaley and Northern capitalists for the project and compares Columbia to other mills in the region and country.
