That turn-and-tuTn-ab is fair play.

4 little more than ten years ago, 1890
1891. there were In Southern cotton mills
some 1880. 600 spindleg. operated by ap-
proximately 5000 hands. In 1900 there
were in Southern cotton mills 5000, 900
spindles, with about 10000 hands to run
them.
At the earlier date the cotton mills
in the South employed about one
seventh Of all the cotton mill operatives
I'm the country. Now that section finds
labor for nearly one-half the whole
number Of hands engaged in cotton
mills in the United States. In the ten
years, from 1892 TO 1902, the number OF
spindles in Northern mills Increased l.
100 000 while the increase in the South
was l. 49, 600 spindles.
