COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH

Charlotte. NJ $50 rapid has been
the growth of the cotton milling bHs-s
fnHEs lin the South during tha
few years that few people have a: "
definite conception Of its present
importance and its future prospects.
Valuable statistics have just been
compiled by David Clark of this city
relative to the textile industry in tine
territory generally known as the
South. These figures give fair idea
of the Importance of mill business In
the Southern states.
In the following figures no woolen
mills and no knitting mills, except
those spinning their own yarns are
included. The territory included
covers Texas and Oklahoma to the
west and Missouri, Kentucky and
Virginia to the north.
The number of cotton mills in the
South is 762. The South's spindle
age is 11,720,10O and loomage 267,-
430. The total mill capitalization is
$115,771,000, which is remarkably
low, being about $40 per spindle. 1t
is estimated that on a basis of $40
per spindle, said to be the average
cost, there is $240,000,O invest
ed in the South.
North Carolina leads in the num-
ber of mills. having 315, or mons
than twice as many as South Carolina
but the South Carolina mills aver
age 100000 spindles, against an av-
erage of 10,250 for the North Caro-
lima mills. The total spindleage in
South Carolina is 4,404,679 and in
North Carolina it is 1926 781.
Georgia has almost as many mills
as South Carolina, but they average
only $4,000 spindles, this being
about half the size of the average
South Carolina mill, and the total
number of spindles in Georgia is L.
908,564.
From statistics carefully compiled,
it is shown that the South annually
consumes 1,250,000 popnds of cot
ton, or an average of LOG pounds per
spindle. The average size mill In
the South is 15.400 spindles. which
