TOWN
HELPS
MILL VILLAGES IN SOUTH
Afford Better Conditions
Than the People Encountered
Elsewhere.

In South Carolina 10000 persons,
or One-flfth of its white population,
live in cotton mill villages, while in
the counties of Greenville, S~partanburg
and Anderson one-third of the pOpula-
ton is in these villages, and the vii
lagos continue to grow.
The South Carolina mill village is
usually a separate community, some
times having a population of over 5000
inhabitants. 1t is entirely owned and
controlled by the mill, and its resi-
dents have no village corporation OF
any kind.
These villages are built by the mill
homogeneous for the simple reason
that their people could not otherwise
be housed near a mill. They attract
much more attention from strangers
than from southerners; for strangers,
seeing in them for the first time the
general poverty and other distressful
conditions Of our people, handicapped
as they have been with legacies from
slavery and war, associate these with
the village.
But all CarOlinians know, says the
South Atlantic Quarterly, that these
villagers are of the same stock as
they themselves, being composed as a
class of the less successful, to whom
the mills have offered much better
wages, with better labor and living
conditions, than they had before.
1t is ~undeniable that South Carolina
mill homogeneous, owing to various
causes, come into closer personal
touch with their individual operatives
and feel more interest in them as a
body than do eastern cotton manufac-
%turers, n that South Carolina oper-
atives have been benefited by coming
to the mills; that the separate cot
tages of southern mill villages, with
plenty of air and larger grounds, are
better than the city tenements gener-
ally used by such operatives in the
east, and that the village living condi-
tons, as a rule, are steadily iInprov-
ing.

Uncle Sam to Have Aeroplane Fleet

money in this way the machines at
these stations could be used with the
other IA that could be purchased
within the appropriation at the ten an
EGal joint camps of instruction during
the summer months, SO that the regu-
lars and militia might learn to operate
them.
Representative James r. Mann of
Illinois declared that this country was
the father of the aeroplane, but when
we had provided the most powerful
and most economical machine of mod
ern times for warfare we stopped. To-
day other nations are profiting by our
ingenuity. We are discussing the
aeroplane now just as our f%orefathers
may have discussed the steam engine
years ago.
England has several dirigible air
ships and ~aeroplanes for her army
and W Germany has IA dirigibles

d~irigibles, 80 aeroplanes and six

She-How's your wife

A man recently visited the art
museum in Chicago and wandered
about looking at the paintings with
more or less interest. He finally
stopped in front of a portrait which
showed a man sitting in a high-backed
chair. There was a small white card
on the picture, reading:
"a portrait OF e. II. Smith, by him
self"
The man read the lard and then
chuCkled to himself.

he said. anybody who looks at that
picture would know Smiths by him
