paper man on the editorial staff Of the
New York Times, visited the South and
made a careful study Of the mill situation,
and in one OF his letters recently to- his
paper this New York writer had this to
say, among other things:
while the owners and holders are
making money they are conferring per-;
manent blessings upon the people. AS IN
other towns where new mills have dc.
randed increasing numbers OF operatives
shops have started to supply the needs OF
or thoseswho were empl Dyed ~
new industries called forth because Of the
coming of a laboring population. Stores
have been obliged to- carry large and more
varied stocks There is more travelling
by rail. It is a matter OF daily occurrences
that among the passengers who overcroWd
the trains Of the Southern Railway there
are inquirers arriving at various points
to look over the land with the view fsset-f
Ting, either as persons already concerned
in cotton manufacturing OF hoping to oe,;
or tradesmen seeking new market

summers are long and the winters Rrtel
and unusually mild.

one Of his letters:
.@eIn passing through mill settlement
some weeks ago I stopped at the home OF
a, middle-aged man who hadsdye children
working in the mill. He lives IN a six
room, two-story house. met him some.
distance from his house; Z said: I want
to see how you people live. would like
Ito go In some home where several children
live, He started in q jitfy and said as
he walked: Come and go In my house.
81 have FIVE children. but they are in the
mill. Entering the house from the rear
we went through the dining room into a
bed room, and then into the parlor: The.
old gentleman was proud Of the parlor.
He threw back the window curtains and
pointed to the large pictures on the wall,
They were paintings from photographs OF.
his children The floor of the room was
carpeted and in one corner was an organ.
From kitchen to garret the house was
clean. When mine host had seen me to
the door he said: s.I farmed on rented land
before I came here, but could not feed
my family there now. like the life
here. like my employers. They treat
us well if we. behave mike manner to-
ward them. If we misbehave they turn
us out and set others in our stead. When
/ moved here they Superintendent warned
me against drinking. He. said that he
would have none but sober help. He
meant what he said, for have not seen
a drunken man on the hill since came
here two years ago. Ny children are in
good health and seem satisfied. We are
all contented. All Of us belong to the
Church and attend regularly.
s.I went from house to house and heard
the same story. Indeed, there is no prob
lem at the best mills between capital and
labor, for the mill owners and operatives
dwell in harmony.
The various religious denominat tons IN
the mill sections are doing a great dea3sfor
the factory element intne South. Preachers
izcall on the operatives and their families
at their homes. Churches are bliilt5and
preaching and sunday-schools conducted at
nearly every mill. Within the last five
]; years in the South much has been done
for the bettermcnt Of the condition Of the
cotton mill help. The work is till going
on. 5 :.
no one who knows the facts, as any
| one can learn by goingsto the mills. can
doubt that the people who work in the
cotton mills of the South are far better off
in every way than ever before.
.such are the conditions in all the Caro-
lima mills

The generating plant consists Of three
Mcintosh & Seymour engines, each of a
of eoo-horse power, capable
sof developing maximum Of 2, ooo-horseI
power, directly connected to Alternating
current generators.
The engines are OF the vertical cross:
compound condensins type, with cylinders
20 and IS inches in diameter, and stroke.
of 42 inches. The cylinders are steam
jscketed, and areheating receiver is placed
between them.
PLENTY or PURE WATER
The water supply for the mill comes
from spring-fed reservoir Of some soo,G00
gallons capacity, which also supplies the
mill village with its drinking water.
The mill is heated by two 14-foot electri-
cally driven sturtevant fans, blowing air
through horizontal ducts along the front
and rear walls Of the mill. as shown in the
half plan and section Of the mill build
ing:
The mill architecture is imposing and
the structure Is beautiful Considerable
money was expended in beautifying the
building and every possible convenience is
provided in and around the mil. The
kclosets and wash rooms are finished in
marble and mosaics, and elevators are
at hand for the operatives. 5,ooo-pound
Schane bell is in one Of the towers and
with beautiful tone strikes the hours, and
in the second tower there is a standard
time clock.

General manager, J. S. Moore.
& Secretary and treasurer, WI. Rose.

A SUBJECT OF PRIDE.
The mill was constructed on the plans
sof W B. Smith Whaley & CO, the most
successful mill engineers in the South.
This firm has left#its deep imprint on the
industrial development of the South, and
especially in South Carolina. In a recent
article it was stated that: THE record
sof the firm is that of 5as,s7e spindles, Il, $50
looms and sS5o4,ooo capital in working
period Of seven years, unapproached by
any mill engineering firm in the South,
and should be a subject Of pride to South
Carolina and to Columbia, as well as to
the members of the firm
. When we consider that in 1880 the entire
s State OF. South Carolina contained only.

The electric equipment at the mill COM
poses everything that has been construct.
ed by electrical or mill engineers. It's by;
odds the most thorough that mas yet been
undertaken.
BY using electricity the cost OF the mill
buildings was reduced by 10 per cent on
account of the absence of heavy transverse
walls through the mill, necessary for the
head shafts atgthe beltway, with the bet
and shafting system. Sixty-one per cent
OF the shafting cost was saved by the use
of electricity. Three-inch shafting is the
largest in the building Six.y-six per cent
Of the cost Of the belts and ropes was
saved with the electrical system. The saw
ing due 20 these three items was sufficient,
it is said, 10 more than pay for the cost
of the electrical equipment Of the mill.
Part Of the electrical generating pant is
used TO lightvhe town and also to run a
street railway. The maximum power re-
CURED by the mill is about 3,60o-horse

Roundup Bales Open to Competition.

While the American Cotton Company
is always in the market for roundlap
bales. it has no prior claim on cotton
baled by this process. Any responsible
buyer can buy roundlap bales at the
gin and handle them with profit.
Roundup ginners follow the custom of
the neighborhood they serve, and Is
nearly as possible comply with the pref
rence of the patrons, buying in the
seed, ginning for the seed and making
cash settlement of balances, or ginning
for custom, and paying the highest
market price for seed. They have sep
arate seed hoppers for each battery of
gins, so the farmers who want their own
seed for replanting can obtain it pure.
Custom bales can DO stored OF taken
home or sold on the spot. Held round
lap bales are always salable at their full
market value. Farmers, or local mer-
chants, or bankers who desire to hold
cotton, can carry it in rOundlap bales
the same as in square bales. While it
does not advise holding cotton, the
American Cotton Company is prepared
to make liberal advances on roundlap
bales,

In his baccalaureate sermon at Dart
mouth college, on June 90, President
William j. Tucker probed to the core,
with a trenchant sentence or two, the
social question Of wealth and poverty.
Said he
II doubt il men care to be equally
rich. 1t is evident that they do not care
to be equally intelligent. What human
nature cannot endure is that u man
should be rich at the price Of another
mans poverty, or intelligent at the
price of another mans ignorance. The
IA whom everybody hates is. first, the
unjust man and the man who. without
being actually unjust, is willing to
thrive upon organized injustice"
To the thoughtful consideration of
all persons who attribute motives of
covetousness or envy to men that cry
out against the organized injustice of
our time. which make u few luxuriously
rich at the expense of millions of work
"ng poor, those truthful words of Presi-
dent Tucker are respectfully COM
mended.
