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 wi40w OF the late
Senator David T. Patterson. She was
born in Greenville, October %. 1928. In a
building on Main Street, near Snaps Op-
era House, known as the Russell property.

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

Il has been said that an ideal news

can Journalism. Our own newspapers are
the most solid. informing and digniGei.
but they tend TO a dull convenionalism.
The most enterprising and The most
crowded with news are the Ame lean,
but they tend TO yulgarity and sensa-
tionalism. The most literary. the best
written. are the French. but they are COM
paratively devoid Of news.

are respectively the ablest types of con-
temporary Journalism But from the point
Of view Of aiding the public TO form judg-
ments. which is the better method. the

! manufacturing. and has each succeeding
| year increased the distance between her
! self I'D 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
1 third OF the total number OF bales used
in factories. in the Southeastern States.
The cotton yield in this State was ,O12. 600
bales, and Of this South Carolina used 439
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 TO 800 miles.
In past years the price Of cotton has
ranged from - to g. points lower in South
Carolina than in New York, but now the
ngures 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 500 900 bales. and
7 e50, 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-
struetion 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 decade however. that
the greatest developments have occurred
! Old mills have been built over and old ma
chinery thrown away. The county has a
large white population from which to draw
operatives, and as result of the mills IL
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 aud representing an in
vested capital OF S5,110, 900. They have
! HOG spindles. IL, 454 looms, and consume
| 220.0 bales Of cotton a year. Another
mill Is about 20 begin operation in Spar
tanburg. while still another. with 5000 600
capital, has been commissioned.
As the leading cotton manufacturing
city OF the South Columbias claim Is IN
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 nrst
mill to be operated by electrical power
There are nov. including the Olympia
which Is build ns, SIX mills here, although
additions larger than ordinary mills are
being made to two already established
The capital represented is 34,500, 600;

Before the building of the latest mill tho
cotton receipts in Columbia were from 40.
eco to $4,000 bales. Now the consumption
by the mills is 10000 10 IS, 600 bales. The
