" WE HAVE BANKS EK0B6H FOR 25 YEARS. ? But What We Need Are Industries tnai Will Make Pay Rolls, for Pay Rolls Build Up a City. Orangeburg's {' Cotton Crop Value Could Be Increased from Three Mii* lion to Seven Million Dollars. t At the Cotton Congress held in Memphis, Tenn. on Nov. 12th, committee ou resolution recommended "A Continuation of the agitation for , Cotton Factories enough in the South to manfacture our cotton" which we think an excellent suggestion and prompts us to write the following article. About 28 years ago I started to learn the Cotton Mill business entering the employment of the Clifton Mfg. Co. '6f 8partanburg, 8. C., at its! organization under the direction of two of the pioneers of this industry in this State, Messrs Converse and Twitchell. There were at that time about fourteen Cotton Mills iu South Carolina and today she is second to Massachusetts in the manufacture of cotton. There was at that time five cotton mill* in Spartanburg County with an aggregate, number of 9,780 Bpindles and today that county has a total of 706,997 spindles manufacturing by far more cotton than she produces, her orop being about 50,000 bales and her consumption of cotton about 200,000 bales. Spartanburg, Gcgeuville and Anderson have made greater progress in this industry than the other counties of our state. It is claimed that the Piedmont section is better adapted for the manfacturing of cotton than tho miririlA nr lnw?r sertinns nf our state but we do Dot agree with this idea for the reason that the central and lower parts are Dot subject to any severe chaages of weathers but have a more even temperature throughout the whole year. The principal reason for the success of the Piedmont mills in our opinion is largely due to their ability to secure a ciass of "help" not found in the middle or lower sections. The laboring people of the "low countmr)' ora mnra oKlo fn moto o livinor 11 J MA V UJV1V UU1U WW UJUUV M on the farms than those of the "upcountry". There is hardly any time of the year that the lands of the "lowcountry" are not in some way remun* erative and for this reason there is more inducement for the operative to remain on the farm than there is in the Piedmont section. Then too the low,country abounds in fish and game of various kinds which are conducive to an indolent, lazy life. In 1880 there was $2,776,100 invested in cotion Mills in South Carolina and in 1907 it had increased to $103, 821.919 and the number of spindles had increased from 82,331 to 3,688,761. The bales of cotton consumed in 1880 by the cotton mills of South Carolina were 36,624, not as much as Orangeburg County now grows, but in 1907 the consumption had inCreasx ed to 774,905 bales very nearly as much as the whole crop of the State. Now let us see about Orangeburg County. Today she (including the BabvCo.) can produce 75.000 bales of cotton at an average weight, say of 480 pounds, sold at 9c per pound is worth $3,240,000. Now suppose she like Spartanburg manufactured her own crop it would be worth something like $0,300,000. To do this she would have to have about 362,500 spindles spinning an average number of 205 yaru at a cost say of $20 per spindle would be $7,250,000 giving employment to about 3, 897 hands an additional population of 8,660 since only about 45 per cent of the total mill population are eligiple for work. This would put a pay roll in Orangeburg of $72,5000 per month or $870,000 per year, xou win perceive mat tnis money would be kept at home and ? would not go to England and New England where the bulk of our cotton Is today manufactured. Of course it will take many years to accomplish this but as the committee in Memphis said we should start now with this end in view, and when we have accomplished it we will be independent people and Wall St. and N. Y. cotton exchange will be a thing of the past. I wish to say just here by way of parenthesis that Spartanburg County in order to induce outside capital to come in and lavish their money in fLu:\y v. \ You Expec Hog Fat?
