 -ern, the Charleston & Western Carolina (controlled by the Atlantic
Coast
  line), the Glenn Springs, the Carolina, Clinch-field &

 , and inter-urban (electric) railways. It is a thriving city in a
cotton

 -manufacturing region, about Boo ft. above the sea and 25 M. S.E. of the Blue
Ridge
 . Spartanburg is the seat of Wofford College (Methodist Episcopal, South; founded in 185o with a bequest of Benjamin Wofford, a local Methodist minister, and opened in 1854), which had, in 1908, 12 instructors and 286 students; also of Converse College (nonsectarian; for women), which was founded by D. E. Con-verse in 1889, opened in 189o, and in 1908 had 22 instructors and 355 students. An annual musical festival is held here under the auspices of the Converse College Choral Society. Four miles south of the city, at

Spring
 , is the South Carolina Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Blind, founded as a private institution in 1849 and taken over by the state in 18J7. There are gold-mines near the city; and Spartanburg county produces large crops of cotton. Cotton mills are the basis of the city's prosperity, and it has also a large wholesale trade, iron-working establishments, and various manufactures. The value of its factory product was $2,127,702 in 1905, or 33.7o more than in 1900. Spartanburg was founded in 1787, and, although railway communication with Columbia and Charleston was opened in 1859, there was little growth until the
establishment
  of the first cotton mill in the vicinity in i88o; it was chartered as a city in this year.
