It offers an answer to the question put forth by many men and women who have so funds but who would like to live in cleanliness and as much com fort as possible. The complete re novation of the cottage, the im provements inside and out, the building of the furniture, the pa pering of the walls and the stain ing of the floors, required practi cally no cash outlay. The work can be done by anyone with the will to work, a few pieces of lumber and a few nails. The cottage is open to public in spection at any time and the work ers are most anxious for the people of this section of the State to come and view what they consider the best such project in the State of South Carolina.

WILLISTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Who Gets The Cotton Mill Dollar? / V V The value of any public asset is measured by its service to mankind. How much is it worth to each citizen; or, to put it more bluntly, what does each man, woman and child get out of it? v ■ - ■»’ It is important to revalue our public assets from time to tiiyie and determine their true worth. The Cotton Textile Industry is generally recognized as one of South Carolina’s public assets, though in reality it is financed by private capital. What then is it worth to each citizen of the state? Is it really worth while? Who ( ' - V gets each cotton mill dollar? Let us see. Half of each cotton mill dollar goes to the farmer for cotton, and while the farmers of South Carolina in 1936 only raised 76 per cent, as much cotton as our own mills consumed, practically all of what they do raise is sold in the state. The farmer has a huge stake in our mills. v • - i . ^ • * ✓ , Then 27 cents goes to the operatives. Together the farmers and the mill employees got over % of every dollar spent by our cotton mills in their operations the first half of this year. „ * Of the balance, 22cents, fully half the amount is spent in the state for taxes, power, supplies, materials and services of all kinds, repairs and general office and administrative expense. j These interesting and authentic figures are based upon the experiences of a representative group of South Carolina mills for the first six months of this year (1937).
