Columbia. ? Interesting statistics
* concerning the cotton mill industry
In South Carolina for the fiscal year
ending July 1, 1912, were given out
by Commissioner of Agriculture,
Commerce and Industries E. J. Wat
son. The figures were compiled from
reports made out and signed by mill
managers, and show among other
things that during the year several
new cotton mills have started opera
tion while others have enlarged their
plants. On the other hand one mill
has been dismantled while several
others have reorganized with changes
in capital stock.
The comparison of statistics are
made for the four years, 1909, 1910,
1911 and 1912 and show a decided
and gratifying improvement in the
cotton mill industry, a steady decrease

the child labor law, practically, by
the entire mills of the state, an in
crease in the use of waterpower over
steam power, and many other grati
fying signs of upward tendency all
along the line.
Especially interesting are the fig
ures or the cotton mill population.
The report shows that for this year
there were a total population in the
mill villages (estimated) of 110,113,
a decrease in one year of 1,786. The
total number of employes in the mills
are 47,077 divided as follows: white
males 29,201, an increase over last
year of 2,945; white females employ
ed 14,993, an increase over last year
of 424; negro females employed 110,
a decrease from last year of 30.
The report shows that the total
number of male children employed
in the mills (14 to 16 years of age)
is 2,848, an increase of 281 over last
year; number of female children (14
to years) 2,225, a decrease in one
year of 60; total number of male
children employed (12 to 14 years)
2,164, an increase in one year of
328; total number of female children
employed (12 to 14 years) 1,455, an
increase over last year of 115.
The report shows the number of
male children employed under 12
years and the number of female chil
dren employed under 12 years to be
none, following the new law prohibit
ing the employment of children under
that age. When that law went into

There are at present 4,463,911 spio
[<Iles In South Carolina, an increase
lover last year of 141,646. The total
|ntrmber of looms this year is 106,670,

539,272.
The number of bales of cotton con
lmed by the cotton mills last year
ras 821,564, a decrease over the pro
jeding year of 58,753, but this de
crease is accounted for by the in
crease in manufacture of finer goods

After Officers Are Elected and
Other Business Finished.
Charleston. ? With its executive
session on the Isle of Palms the
Great Council of the United States of
the Improved Order of Red Men com- |
pleted its business. During the fore
noon the Daughters of Pocahontas
were given an excursion by steam
boat about the harbor and up the
Cooper river as guests of the chamber
of commerce. TLe principal social
feature, however, was the fish fry at
the Isle of Palme, the great seine
being drawn and a generaus catch
being made. While most of the vis

Calls On People of State For Air.
W. F. Stevenson, chairman bf the
special committee of seven appointed j
by the State Democratic executive
committee of South Carolina recently
to conduct an investigation into the
primary election for governor held
August 27, spent a day in conference
in Charlotte, N. C., with W. B. Wilson,
Jr., of Rock Hill and T. B. Butler of
Gaffney regarding plans for the pro
posed investigation. JuBt prior to
leaving the city, he dictated a letter
to the Democrats of South Carolina,
in which he mapped out the line of
the Inquiry and called upon all good
citizens to aid the committee in its
work. Trie assistance or tne press 01
the ?tate is requested in ordeT that
ample publicity may be given the
various counties wit hthe view to
ferretin gout as many of the irregu
larities as possible. /
Primaries Held All Over State.
Although there was no second pri
mary held for state offices the keen
est interest was manifested In all
counties where contests appeared for
county offices. In nearly all counties
delegations, although in a few cases
a third primary may be neecssary. In
Aiken and Horry counties the vote
seems to be close and full returns
will be necessary in many instances
can be declared. Some remarkably
close races are reported from the va
rious counties and the official count |
will be neecssary in many instances |
before the result is learned. In the j
exciting race for sheriff of Greenville
county Gilreath and Rector are sep
arated by only 21 votes with two i
mountain boxes to be reported.
Find Dead Man on Railroad Track.
There was a white man found dead
by the railroad track one-half mile ;
from Carterville. The men of Car-1
tersville have put forth every effort |
to identify him. He had nothing i
about his person to give the slightest !
clue to his identity except the clothes j
that he wore were bought at Coker & j
Company's at Hartsville. It is sup- |
posed he fell from train 55 and and j
died instantly. He is six feet tall, I
sandy hair, sharp features and weighs 1
about 150 pounds. Has on dark gray j
suit.
Chairman of Sub-Committee.
W. B. Wilson, Jr., has been oppoint
ed by Chairman Stevenson, of the |
sub-committee, as chairman of the
committee to have charge of the in- j
vestigation of fraud and corruption j
in the counties east of the Charlotte- j
Columbia line of the Southern, was ;
seen in regard to the new plans as i
outlined by Chairman Stevenson. Mr. I
Wilson states that he will make Rock
Hill headquarters for the investiga- ! i
tion, which he hopes to complete ! ;
within a couple of weeks or fifteen |
days.
Charged With Killing Father.
Magistrate R. M. Johnson of Ef- (
fingbam, was in Florence with a ne
gro, Harvey Russell, charged with '
me muraer 01 ins lamer, isaau r\us- '
sell. It seems from what can be 1
gathered from the inquest that was <
held by Mr. Johnson that the old man 1
had owned a little place near the de- 1
pot and had been farming on it with 1
a younger son, who died some time <
ago and after his death, the older son, <
Harvey, came and took possession of 1
and began to treat the old man very <
cruelly, finally killing him.

dicate a Bumper Crop.?Some Very.
Interesting Figures.
Columbia.?The tobacco crop in
South Carolina since the season open
ed has made a remarkable showing, j
[n 1911. 6.099.232 Dounds were sold i
during the months of July and Au- i
gust; this year during the same '
months 21,273,215 pounds were mar
keted, an increase over the same per- |
lod of last year ofc 15,173,983 pounds.
During July and August of last .
year the tobacco sold brought $722,-!
052.76; during the same months this j
year the tobacco sold brought the I
splendid total of $2,288,600.20, which
is an increase of $1,566,547.44 over
last year.
The largest tobacco crop that the
state ever had was in 1909, when the
total production was 25,583,049
pounds. That total represented the
entire season; this year the months '
of September and October have still !
to report their sales and there is ev-,
ery Indication now that this year's
tobacco crop will far exceed the larg-i
est crop that has ever been grown |
in the state, and will certainly bring
to the farmers more rhoney than any
crop ever before marketed. The total (
crop of 1910 only brought 51,354,600, j
and the total crop of 1911 only |
brought $1,388,016. The sales for the
two months already reported of this
year have brought practically $1,00,
000 more than the entire crop of
either 1910 or 1911.

-.1 Lesson i
(By B. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPT. 22.
FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND.
LESSON TEXT-Mark 6:30-44.
GOLDEN TEXT?"Jesus said unto
them, I am the bread of life."?John 6:35.
This parable marks the high level
of the year of popularity In the life of
our Lord. It Is such an important
miracle as to be the only one recorded
by all four gospel writers.
The returning diBCiples (v. 30) are
urged by the Master to come with him
into a desert place that they might
rest, and also that he might comfort
their hearts over the death of John
the Baptist "They had no leisure."
Jesus knew the need and also the
proper use of leisure. But the multi
tude would not grant this and flocked
to his retreat in the desert. They saw
and 'followed that they might liBten
to his gracious words or behold some
new wonder, but Jesus also saw and
ministered, y. 24. Carlisle ftaid he saw
in England "forty millions, mostly
fools." Not so with Jesus. He saw
and was moved, not with Barcasm, but
with compassion, which compassion
took a tangable form of service. It is
Interesting to note in verse 34 that the
compassion of Jesus led him first of
all to teach. It is better to teach a
man how to help himself than to help
the man. We also infer from this
verse that the soul of a man is of
more value than his body. It is not
enough, however, to say, "God bless
you, be fed and warm," when a man
Is hungry. So It is that Jesus listened
to his diciples when they saw the
physical need of the multitude.
A Great Task.
St John tells us In this cunnectlon
of the conversation with Philip. Phil
ip lived in Beths&lda near by, yet to
feed this multitude was for him too
great a task, even with his knowledge
of the resources at hand, John 6:5-7.
Yet we need not be surprised at Phil
ip's Blowness of faith. Moses in like
manner was oace nonplussed how to
feed six thousand In the wilderness,
see Num. 11:21-23. It Is not so much
as to how great the weed nor how lit
tle we possess, but rather is the little
given to God.
Another (disciple, Andrew, who had
discovered the Saviour unto Peter, dis
covers as though la desperation a boy
whose mother had thoughtfully pro
vided him wtfh a lunch consisting of
five barley "biscuits and two small
dried herrtng (John 6:9), at least that
much remained. It Is a great com
mentary utyon the tide of Interest at
this time that this boy should not
have eaten his lunch, for a boy's ban
ger Is proverbial. It seems as though
Jesus emphasizes the helplessness Of
the dteiples In order that be may abow
his power. His command, "give j*e
them," <v. 37) teacbes us that we are
to give such as we have, not look to
others, nor do our charity by proxy.
Prov. 11:24, 21.
Again the Sarlour asks his disciples
to see (v. 38) as though he would
teach them the boundless resources of
his kingdom. Olve what you have and
he will bless and Increase it to the
supplying of tbe needs of the multi
tude. The secret of success was when
he took the loaves and "looking up"
for God also saw on that day, and
blessed It.
We need to observe the systematic
procedure. The people seated or re
clining upon the ground in ranks or
by companies. The Master blessing
and breaking the boy's cakes and giv
ing first to the disciples, for God only
works such miracles through human
agencies, and then giving to the peo
ple. The result of this systematic pro
cedure was that "all did eat," and
further, they were satisfied, v. 42. Not
alone, however, was there Divine or
der and lavishness, but there waB
economy and thrift as well, for Jesus
gave careful directions as to the frag
ments. The lavishness is shown by
the fact that the baskets Into which
the fragments were gathered were
each large enough in which to sleep.
Living Bread.
The conversation process was a
Btinging rebuke to the improvident
orientals, and to the present day prodi
gals of that wonderful bounty with
which God has blessed our land.
God gives to us that we may use.
Joy dies unless it Is shared. Jesus,
the living bread (John 6:48) will satis
fy hunger, and life, as bread, gener
ates in the human body heat, energy,
vitality, power, etc., so he would feed
the hungry souls of mankind. We
have at hand the Word; it 1b for lack
of it that men die in the deepest sense
of that word.
The poverty and perplexity of the
disciples in his presence and the pres
ence of this great need 1b being re
peated over and over today and yet it
is absurd. We have not enough to
feed the multitude. Our few loaves of
amusements, mental activities, etc.,
will not feed them, but when we break
unto them the Living Bread they have
enough and to spare. When our Lord
has the handling of our loaves then
they are charged with new power and
are for the satisfying of the nations.
Jesus welcomed the multitude
though the disciples would send them
away. Je6us saw their need spiritual
ly though the disciples saw only the
physical need. Jesus saw the abun
dant resources' of the Father (Phil.
4:19), whereas the disciples saw only
their poverty and helplessness.
The disciples had, however, learned
to know Jesus well enough to obey,
and so though his commands seemed
out of reason they at once began to
give to the people, and as they j;ave,
not before, the food was multiplied.
They drew not from an earthly, but
a heavenly, storehouse. The multitude
also obeyed. "If ye be willing and obedi
ent ye shall eat of the good of the
land." Isa. 1:19. Nor shall one b:
overlooked. He, Indeed, Is the giver c
overy good and perfect gift.
