MILL GIRLS MARRY YOUNG
Many Villages in the South Where
There Are Absolutely No Old
Maids Found.

A village without an old maid
sounds somewhat like fairy tale, but
several such places exist down below
the Mason and Dixon line.
"AlE the women get married in the
mill villages Of South Carolina, and
at an early age" says Y. w. G. A.
industrial secretary stationed at Green
vile, where she works among the girls
In 10 mills.
Perhaps economic independence has
something to do with it, as marriage
is not looked upon by the girls as a
meal ticket, but as fifty-ffty PROPOSE
ton. The wives do not give up their
Jobs but keep right on working.
That the textile industry in South
Carolina absorbs large number of
women as well as men workers is not
surprising considering the fact that
there are as many as Is mills in %
counties. With the population of the
state estimated at 1,5OO,O15 people. 3d.
BOA are mill workers, and 190,268 are
dependents on mill pay. The valu-
alton of the mills is $75.OO0,OO0 and the
weekly pay roll is $1.O0O.OOO.
