NORTH CAROLINA MILLS.
Statistics as to the Industrial Growth
and Conditions of "the Old
North State.v

In 1890 North Carolina was ninth in
the list of cotton-s spinning States IN
the South. but has now gone TO second
place, South Carolina leading Geor-
gia, the third State on the list, is over
5000 spindles behind North Caroll1la'
Only four other States-Massachu
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and
Connecticut-are ahead of North Caro-
lima in number of spindles.
There are 220 cotton mills, OF which
20 make hosiery and 191 spin or weave
or do both There are in operation
1,O54,6S6 spindles and "a, 535 looms: NO
less than AZ per cent of the mills run
day and night. The consumption OF
cotton is now 163, ,3S9,000 pounds yearly
The increase of spindles in mills COM
pleted this year is $4,000, and old mills
have enlarged their plants by adding
16,820 spindles The only reduction IS
due to two fires, which destroyed $3.50
spindles, leaving the years net gam
$500 spindles.
The wages of cotton mill operatives
in this State is much lower than in the
New England States, and while the lat-
ter have enacted laws regulating the
hours of the labor, all attempts TO 90
so In North Carolina have failed. Inc
average number Of hours making a
days work in the mills in this State is
eleven and three-quarters. On an aV-
eFaSe the mlllS run 293 days out O1 o1o

mill labor in the State. The employees
are better satisfied than any other

tiOn legislation. There are no strikes.
In fact, there has never been a mill
strike in the State.
The average daily wages paid to
skilled men is 81 or; unskilled, 6S cents;
to skilled women, 63 cents; unskilled,
40 cents; children, 80 cents. The gen
eral average is 63 cents for all. which
is said to be a gain of l cent over last
year. 1t costs as little to live in North
Carolina as in any State in the Union.

Lives Saved From Shipwreck.

To assist in realizing the risk to human
life by shipwreck it is interesting to take
into account the lives saved as well as
the lives lost. The total number of sea-
men and passengers saved from the
wrecks of British vessels everywhere and
of foreign vessels on or near the coasts
of British territory during the year 1867
was 1859, of whom 2799 were saved on or
near the coasts of the United Kingdom,
2015 on or near the coasts of British pos
sessions abroad. 1913 from British vessels

Legal and Medical Doctors at Odds.

A criminal case is pending in the mill
tary courts which is probably without
precedent in the annals of criminal juris-
prudence. A sergeant and a corporal of
the Seventh Regiment stand accused of
having caused the death of a private col
der by beating him. incidentally they
are charged with abuse of authority and
violation of the personal rights of the SOL
dier.
Now the medical experts have decided
that the beating administered the dead
soldier shortly before his demise was not
the cause of his death. but on the con-
trary, interrupted the progress of a cere-
bral congestion brought on by an ex-
cessive use of alcoholic stimulants The
experts held, in fact, that If the beating
had been continued the man might have
recovered. In spite of this finding the
court found the accused guilty of abuse
of authority and sentenced them to two
years imprisonment each. From this
sentence an appeal has been taken to the
Supreme Court. whose decision Is being

DO YOU TYPEWRITE ?

TO Professional Men and Others.

Although the typewriter is compare
lively recent invention, no other labor
saving device has received such general
acknowledgment of its merits, and no
other machine has demon strated so thor
oughly its usefulness. Typewrters are
now used in all business offices and by
clergymen, doctors, lawyers and men OF
letters, and we venture to say that the
time is near at hand when the writing
machine will be as much Punishment OF
