Special -to Industrial News. Asheboro, Jan. 20. Randolph county has on the banks of Deep river 13 cotton mills. These mills operate 45,797 spindles; 1,680 looms - and employ 1,968 hands. Yarns, coarse and fine goods are manufactured, as well as sheet ings, bags, denims and plaids. The best of feelings prevail ev ery where, and strikes are unknown. A great many people who work in the mills have' accumulated money by judicious management and bought farms near the town in which they reside; while others own their own homes, with money at interest or deposited in the bank. There are excellent schools in all of the towns, and the factory children are represented better than ever bofore.
