COTTON* MILLS?THE DIVIDING LINE. -y
The Charleston"* News and Courier ?
if often obnsed by many people whom e
ij strives, wheoever an opportunity t
arises to benefit. The News aud a
' Courie-- never wearries trying to build d
up the South and especially South t
Carolina. Oar contemporary for t
- -*-_a ^r?_: . u? r
many long years preacneu--Dnu^ mo t
cotton mills to tbe cotton field5," aud?ke
we believe that its hard and earnest t
work has been felt. That Sooth c
Carolina is leading the S:mth in c*?ton
factories. *
The effects of the cotton mills in the a
development of the State is strikingly i
presented in tbe New^and Courier of c
the3ih inst. Two letters have been ^
r?nK!ioh?d in nnr cr>nfera?orarv. One t
was from Barnwell, and contained the t
' following: "Agentleman who (ravels ?
for a prominent Charleston house sa>s 1
that Bamberg- and Barnwell are in <
worse financial condition tban the ?
other ccunties?of the Siate, and he c
attributes it to the fact thaf we have 1
? a ini1nati.io5 r.-f 9iiv fViliKP- C

quence, such as factories, tobacco and i
V wheat crop?,.&c., &c. We have been ^
p.'aying on a fidd!c with one string, t
$nd whan that (the cotton crop) <
breaks the fiddle can be played no <
longer."
The other letter came from Spartan- 1
burg-, and, as the News and Courier t
- says, it might have been written as ao i
? ?* )
answer to ttie iiarnweiicorrespyuuem. ?
It was written by a low-countryman,
wh? lr opened to 4be in Spartanburg.
He was struck with signs of progress
and prosperity. Among other things
he says in his letter: "The transition t
from the present comparatively de- s
pressed condition of the low-country 1
to the thrift and prosperity that ars 1
evidenced on all sides along the Pied- t
* * c
mont belt is in tne nature ui .? icveia- ?
tion." I
The difference between the two sec- 1
tions is traceable directly to the cotton (
miils. The line of prosperity is t
marked by cotlon uulls. Spartan- {
bnrg County has twenty-two separate j
mills operating 400,000 spindles and j
employing 8,000 operatives. On ac- t
c Usit of these mills aboat $10,000,000 ]

WAges, 150,000 balei of: cotton being j
bought, sold and consumed by them, e
These figures 'show why there is J
4i;hrift and prosperity" in Spartanburg.
Tbe correspondent adds that (
he has inquired into tthe history of 1
these industries, and he finds that *
ntw r>r mnsf. of them, had small _

beginnings and were started by men j
; aLd people "in enterprising sections i
helping themselves first, by moderate J
ontlays." We hav^ called attention ^
to this, because our own people have j
jnst started on this line. We can not t
boast of tuch figures as are presented t
as to Spartanburg, bat we should re- i (
member that Spartanburg's beginning t
was as modest as ours. To-day c
Winnsboro has a small mill, but it (
* 7 1
will compare most favorably with any j
miil of its size in the State. The effect {
of the Fairfield Cotton Mills is already j
felt upon onr development. In the {
last siix months at least five hundred ?
people have been added to our popu- r
lation, and the thousands ot dollars J

Whether duo to the factory or not, it '
is significant that more baiiding is in
progress in Winnsboro to-day than in
twenty or twenty-five years, and the
building bas followed npon the completion
of the factory. In less than
six mon^ abou: twelve store-rooms
have beej built, and other signs of
improvement are not wanting. It is

shall be a3 grea,t in 1899 as they have c

ought not to complain. The class of t
operatives in the cotton mills are very a

the mills. At first, what are called f
the "tramp element" flacked to the J

boro and'Fairfield County should be c
very much interested in the success of T
