Recently published sratistis
bear out the most enthusiastic
claims concerning the movement
of the cotton mills into the cotton
fields: From 1880 to 1900 the
amount of capital invested in the
mills increased 142 per cent. The
increase in New England was 100
per cent, and in the Southern
States it was 479 per cent. The
value of the product of Southern
mills was increased during the
same ten years 348 per cent. The
same principle that rules in iron
and steel obtains in cotton. That
section or locality is most sue

and facilities for production are
brought close together. That is
