others use electricity furnished from the

Carolina mill men believe that in five
years, unless mill building sustains a Sc

of the State Will spin her entire cotton
crop. and that thereafter cotton from 9TH

Mills for the most part are running night
and day, and while the wages paid are
considerably lower than in New England

SOUTH CARoLINA'S MILLS.
A Remarkable Growth of the Great
Cotton industry


COLUMBIA. S. c.. Jan 26-The wear

MRS. MARTHA PATTERSON ILL.
The Oldest Child of Andrew johnson
SAID 10 he Dying.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Mrs.
Martha ]. Patterson, the oldest child of
former President Andrew Johnson, is ly-
! homestead in Greenville, a quiet old town
in east Tennessee.
She is now in her seventy second year.
Her health has been failing for some time
and her death has been expected momen
tarily for two or three weeks.
Mrs. Patterson was the mistress of the
White House during her fathers Admins
tration, and was, therefore, "the first lady
of the land at that time.
Mrs. Patterson is the wia9w OF the late
Senator David T. Patterson. She was
born in Greenville, October %, 1928, in a
building on Main Street, near Snaps OPP
era House. known as the Russell property,
about 100 yards from the now famous tai
lor shop where President Johnson pursued
the humble calling of making clothes.
In the schools of the town she received
the rudiments of an education, which she
finished at the convent in Georgetown. DC.
She attended school in Georgetown during
the Administration of President Polk. and
Presidents family, she was privileged TO
visit the Executive household frequently.
She often spoke of how, on the occasion OF
these visits, she was oppressed by the dig
nifty of the surroundings
After returning to her home from school
she was married December 13, 1856, to
Hon. David T. Patterson. then young at
torney and circuit judge, and afterward
United States Senator from Tennessee.
Mr.. Patterson was elected judge in the
same election in which Mr.. Johnson was
elected Democratic Governor of the State.
Upon President LincolnS death Mr.
Johnson, by constitutional provision. as
sumed the responsibilities of the Chief Ex-
ecutive Of the United States. Upon his
elevation to the Presidency, Mrs. Johnson
being an invalid, the responsibilities of the
Executive household fell upon Mrs. Pat
terson, whose husband was then United
States Senator. -
The public receptions were always at
tended by unprecedented crowds Simple
but elegant in her apparel, never descend
ing to disregard of place. yet not carried
away by the follies of fashion. Mrs. Pat
terson pleased the eye and gratifed the
pride OF all who felt an interest in her sue
cess. Golden opinions Of her taste were
won by the rich simplicity of her toilet on
every public occas N. and "the beauty of
her dress consisted always in the artless,
unassuming manner of the Wearer," says
Mrs. Halloway in Ladies Of the White
House" g
Mrs. Patterson always modestly but re-
spectfully declined to discuss the impeach-
ment trial of her father. stating that her
private opinion was not worth much, and
The evening times., 1900-01-26

all she could do was to wait. Her faith in
her father never wavered, but great was
her relief and joy when the enemies of her
father failed TO convict him.
Mrs. Patterson returned to her East Ten
nessee home as soon as she was released
from the cares and burdens of the White
House.
Since returning TO Greenyille the family
has occupied the old homestead on West
Main Street and led peaceful quiet life
visiting little, but much enjoying the
broken threads of acquaintance picked Up
after their many years absence.
Mr.. Johnson died July 25. 1875, at the
residence of his daughter. Mrs Stoyer in
Carter county. His body was brought to
Greenville and inferred on the crest of the
hill which he had designated as his last
resting place.
Senator Patterson died November ), 1891.
and was buried in the family burying
ground surrounding the tomb of the dead
former President.
Only two children resulted from the
union of Senator and Mrs. Patterson. An
drew Jackson Patterson and Belle Patter-
son. Hon. z. ]. Patterson married Miss
Matte Barkiey in 1890. and in 1893 was ap-
pointed by President Cleveland Consul to
Demerara, British Guiana. He is now re-
siding at the old homestead.
Miss Belle Patterson was married to
John Laudstreet of Baltimore. in 1885
and lived in Baltimore and Nashville. but
for a number of years prior to her death
in Greeneville. She died in California in
July. 1892, and her body was brought 10

year increased the distance between her
! self and her nearest competitor North
! Carolina has the greatest number of mills,
] but IN all else-capital invested, consump-
tion, spindles, and looms-the Palmetto
State is far in advance.
Last year she consumed nearly one
| third OF the total number of bales used
i'm factories. in the Southeastern States.
The cotton yield in this State was 1,012 900
bales, and Of this South Carolina used 43.9
per cent in her mills. This years cotton
crop was short in the up country, where
are the greater number of mills. Buyers
for these mills quickly obtained the local
supply, and then went into the lower part
OF the State and to Georgia and shipped
cotton TO their mills from $50 10 500 miles.
In past years the price of cotton has
ranged from % TO 81 points lower in South
Carolina than in New York but now the
figures are reversed. The local markets
have been higher than New York all the
fall. the difference in some sections being
so points in favor of the local buyers. The
crop produced in the State the present
season is estimated at sol, 900 bales, and
go, 900 bales will be used in South Caro-
lima mills. The consumption would be
greater were it not that several of the
largest mills chartered and under con-
struction will not be in operation until
near the close of the season.
The remarkable change of interests has
,ome so suddenly that the general public
has not realized it. Spartanburg was the
pioneer manufacturing county in the State.
Water power was abundant and one or two
little mills were built there thirty years
ago. II is within a decade. however, that
the greatest developments have occurred.

chinery thrown away. The county has
large white population from which to draw
operatives, and as 3 result of the mills it
has twice as many towns as any other
county in the State
There are now in the county twenty-four
cotton mills in operation owned by seven
teen corporations and representing an in
vested capital OF s5,110,000. They have
49, 632 spindles. IL, asa looms, and consume
300. 900 bales of cotton year. Another
mill is about to begin operation in Spar

capital, has been commissioned.
As the leading cotton manufacturing
city of the South Coiumbia's claim is I'm
disputed. Yet her first mill began opera
tions only five years ago. The pioneer was
the big duck mill. which was built as soon
as the 10000 horse power of the Columbia
Canal was available. This was the first
mill to be operated by electrical power
There are now, including the Olympia,
which is building, SIX mills here although

being made to two already established |
