the last ten years.
In 1890 the News and Courier publish
ed a cotton mill hand book in which 1t
showed that the nutnbr Of spindles IN the
State was 95,93S, and that there were l.
D33 looms in operation. It Is safe to say
that since that time there has been a ten
fold increase. In January. 1896, a list of
mills was prepared by Mr.. W. B. 8.
Whaley, which estimated the number OF
spindles at 629,675; q few months later on
estimate was made placing the number at
730, 500, and now ''the Products Of the
Piedmont" estimates the number ofspin-
dies at / 1926, 629.
Editor Thackstcn has experienced con-
siderable difficulty in getting information
about the cotton mills, and bis list is the
most complete at this time. He does not
certify to its being entirely correct. The
list as given is very valuable, and Is kind
ly furnished from advance sheets of 9TH
