The Pickens, Glenwood, Easley and
Alice cotton mills have recently raised
the wages OF their operatives ten per
cent This increase came without the
operatives asking for it, which shows a
good spirit existing between the en-

The increased cost of living made it
necessary and the increased earnings of
the mill and fairness of the officers made
it possible. We arc glad to see it.
