The Field and Fireside in reply to a query gives the following list:
There are several mills in Virginia; in North Carolina there is a mill at Fayetteville, Raleigh, Shelby, Salem and Lincolnton. In South Carolina there are two at Greenville, controlled, we believe, by the same company, and one at Bath, (agency at Augusta). In Georgia there is one near Columbus, one near Athens, and one near Marietta. In Tennessee we only know of one that is accessible, and that is near Knoxville, and not in operation.
