crum and Clayton Safe.

SFurit anu StSy WI SS'
Charleston business men are pre-
pairing TO submit to the inevitable, in
asmuch as doubt no longer exists as
to the appointment of Dr.. w. D. Crum'
colored, as collector of port.
Strong petitions were sent to Wash
ington urging President Roosevelt not
to give, the Office to Crun1, and these
requests were based On Crum's color.
They have had no effect, however, and
friends of the negro are highly elated.
It is said in Charleston that prom
inent white citizen, who went to
Washington in Crum's behalf, will be
made chief deputy.
The Office is of little financial value.
The records show thai it paid about
$500 last year, and about the same
fees will be forthcoming for Crum.
Efforts have been made to have the
Office put t~on the salary list.
District Attorney Capers, who went
to Washington to confer with the
president. has returned and confirms
the published reports that Crum will
be appointed collector and that DR.. v.
P. Clayton will be made United States
marshal.

Shortly after the receipt Of the no

with the blockade notice received from
London, namely, December 25. How

|. SOUTH CAROLINA
|, STATE NEWS ITEMS.

County Has Thirty-one Cotton Mills.
The developments of the cotton mill
ing industry in Spartanburg county
during the past few years has placed
the county at the head of tE:s milling
interests in South Carolina, with an ag-
gregate Of s7,000,000 invested in cot
ton mills.
In the years 1881, 1888 and 1889 ev-
ery new mill which began operation,
and there were nine, was located IN
Spartanburg county.
The growth of this industry during
1888, 1859 and 1902 in this county has
been remarkable. During the three
years above mentioned eight new mills
began operations and four new ones
have been inaugurated, while the IN
crease in capital stock of five mills in
Spartanburg county during the present
year reaches the sum OF Sl,151,O0o
During the present year Spartanours
county has witnessed the organization
of four new mills, as follows: Tyger
mills, S96,5G0; Arcadia mills, SzoO'ooo'
Drayton mills, s25O,OOO; Apalache
mills, sS50,000.
The total invested in new mills and
additions in the county during 1902
has been s2,047,500. Spartanburg
county has total of thirty-one mills
whose capital stock is over sS,s0o,ooo'
while the entire capital stock OF every
mill in the state is only about S34,oOo'-
600, giving Spartanburg county over
25 per cent of the capital invested in
this great industry.
When it is remembered that the an
nual product of a mill is rugby estl-
mated as being equal to it's capital, 1t
will be seen that the yearly output OF
Spartanburg county's mlils is nearly
ss,O00,0 900.
