for the addition of SCORES Of workers
TO the present strength Of the church
b the cotton mill district, are rec
commended in reports by investigators,
who worked upon order of the execu-
tive committee of the campaign.
Estimated on pre-war basis, the re.
port says, the cotton mills Of South
Carolina alone represent an invested
capital in excess Of $7b,000,000, with an
estimated weekly payroll OF $1,OOO,0OO.
Average wages now being paid the
workers are said to range from $50 to
ss5 week, with family in,omes ag-
gregating often several times as much.
The report shows that South Caro-
lima alone has 152 cotton mills In ~
counties ranging from one to thirty IN
a county. In this territory, with pop
ulation recorded at 326, $40, there are
62,9O4 mill workers, wnile 190,26S per-
sons are dependent upon mill pay.
The need for expansion OF Episco-
pal Church work in and among the
mill employees is shown in the Souln
Carolina report by the statement that
of the twenty-nine cotton mill coun-
ties. four are without Episcopal
churches while of the eighty-seyen
communities in these counties, llIty-
five are similarly lacking. In eignty
of the eighty-seven communities where
cotton mill workers are conferred there
is apparently no special work among
them.
