STEADY INCREASE IN MANUFACTURES PRLIMINARY FIGURES OF CEN-I SUS MAKE COMPARISON OF INDUSTRIES FROM 1914 THRU | 7919?EXCLUDES HAND AND I ' BUILDING TRADES. i . Washington, July 10.?A prelimi-j nary statement of the general results .r ' 'of the census of manufactures for *. the state of South Carolina was issued today by the bureau of the cen-j stts, department of commerce. It consists of a summary comparing [ t^e figures for 1914 and 1919, by % ' totals. -f:. The figures for 1919 are preliminary and subject to such chang^ and 7 correction as may be found necessary from a further examination of the reports. The census of manfactures, 1919, like that of 1914, excluded the hand trades,'the building trades, and the neighborhood industries, and took account only of establishments conducted uiider the factor system. In . this census also, as in that for 1914 statistics were not included for es> , tablishments having products for the census year valued at less than $500, except that reports were taken for establishments idle during a portion i . -': or the census year, or which began operation during that year, and S Whose products for such reason j vt were valued at less than $500. f ,The word "establishment" as usedj | in.the census reports may mean more j than one mill or plant, provided they j are owned or controlled and operated I by: a single individual, partnership, j $' corporation, or other owner or op-| m erator, and are located in the same vVr town or city. . :,, The reports were taken for the calfisS endar year ending December 31,19191 |gy or the business year of the establishment most nearly conforming to i-' that calendar year. tji. The summary shows a consistent f j'. : increase at the census of 1919, as I , ; compared with that for 1914 with the V exception of the item of proprietors and, firm members which shows a de. crease of 8.3 per cent. In the order of their importance vr* > * ' v i'J: from a percentage standpoint, the in: cresses l'or the several items rank asj iK|> follows. Value added by manufacture! (value of products Jess cost of materials), 220.5 per cent.; value of jproducts,. 174.7 per cent; wages 158.6 per cent; services 151.4 per cent; materials, 150.6 per cent; salaries, & 115;4 per cent; capital, 84.9 per cent; ' salaried employees, 31.8 per cent; primary horse power, 16.2 per cent; peitoons engaged in manufactures 11.1 ^ * pes cent; wage earners (average V number), 10.5 per cent^ and number ' ' of establishments, 6.3 per cent.? The capital invested as reported in 1919, shows a gain of $172,594,000 or $4.9 per cent over that in 1914. y <The average capital per. establishment was approximately $188,000 in 1919 ; and $108,000 in 1914. In this connection it should be stated that the inquiry contained in. the census schedule calls for the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, invested in the business, but excludes V the value of rented property, plant, or equipment which was employed in the conduct of manufacturing enterprises. The final bulletins and reports will show the rental paid for such property. j ????????? J GIRL SPURNS LOVE; FORTUNE COMPENSATES Detroit, July 9.?"Broke," on the Fourth of July, spurned by the girl he loved because he made only 40 cents an hour, and today able to buy the hotel where he was employed, as an engine helper, is the way the v wheel of fortune turned for E C Cox '28. On the Fourth, Cox borowed $2 from the hotel proprietor to buy a shirt. iV = t? He then proposed to a panttry girl at the hotel, but his proposal was ridiculed because he made but 40 cents an hour. Today Cox received word that bte was one of three heirs to an es tate of $15,000,000, left by Dr. Samuel Shaw of Hollister, Cal. He left immediately for the coast. A pantry girl was left behind. ' 1 & > ' . BEEF CATTLE DEVELOP IN SALUDA COUNTY Clemson College, July 10.?A number of Saluda County farmers under the leadership of the county agent, J. M. Eleazer, and the extension livestock specialist, W. J. Sheely are establishing the foundation for a good beef cattle development as a isule line in that county. For several years these extension workers have felt that some Saluda County farmers were in position as to pasture, to |go into the raising of beef cattle on small scale. Recently a trip made by leading farmers tp examine the sweet potato curing house at Aiken was used as an opportunity to visit the polled Hereford herd of Mr. C. JB. Woolsey. Immediately, says the county agent four of the farmers in the country became much interested in polled Herefords and decided to start pure bred herds. At their request, Messrs 151 and Sheelv arranged a trin into Georgia to select breeding stock. Six fanners went on this trip, and one of these purchased a foundation herd of one bull and four cows and heifers and the other five are now negotiating for similar deals. These are to serve as foundation for sideline cattle work, says the county agent, to be pushed on most farms in the county. It is figured that those having good pasture lands can prepare them with grasses and clovers for permanent pastures and grow velvet beans in the corn fields for temporary pasture, so that this sideline cattle can be carried practically the year round without the necessity of stall feeding. This plan should net considerable profit on good soil and * bound to build up the land. It is a plan which can be adopted vrith profit in many other counties in the state. ~ 4 1785 1921 COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON I Open to Men and Women Entrance examinations, and. examinations for the free tuition county .1 -L! _11 ? i--_ a... r* scmuarsmps at aw county seats Friday, July 8, at 9 a. m.

July 11th, 1921 St STRENGTH AND PROFIT COME WITH OPERATION Clemson College, July 9.?Two thousand barrels of Irish potatoes sold at $5.00 per barrel while 1 the general market on potatoes was $2 per barrel was the result of organization and co-operation among Florence County fanners during the season just ended. This fine result was brought about through the instrumentality of the Florence Chamber of Commerce and County Agent J. W. McLendon, ar.d as a consequence the farmers working through the organization made a profit of $6,000 above the market. To start at the beginning of this story, a contract was made, before the time for marketing, with a buyer who was attracted to the Florence potato market again this year because of the satisfactory way in which potatoes were handled on that market in 1920. Then the leaders in the Florence potato organization put on' a campaign for proper digging, grading, packing and shipping of the crop. Instructions were given by letter to all member growers and assistance was given where needed. Potatoes were required to be machine graded, and growers who did not have enough potatoes to warrant buying graders individually were aided in securing graders jointly. crro/?iTio? waa rpnniroH -Pnr tho market was falling, and on a falling market grading is doubly important. Farmers who did not work through the organization received $2.00 pfer barrel for their potatoes, this paying a big penalty for their failure to realize in time the value of organized effort. , THEDA BARA MARRIES DIRECTOR OF PICTURES New York, July 9.?The secret marriage of Theda Bara, one of the best known interpreters of vampire roles on the silver screen, to C.
