When agriculture is forsaken, real eikate is depressed, local money is scarce, investments are disappointing, retail trade is slack, the public has largely ceased buying; when nothing will sell and credit is withdrawn, it is comforting to realize that the sustaining influence of cotton mill payrolls is still felt. The Iriie value of s dependable,^ loeal industry Is best appreciated in times such as we are* now experiencing. While unavoidable circumstances have caused recessions even in cotton mill payrolLs during the months Just passed, and while all the mills may not be able to retuim to full operation for some time to come; even with curtailment, the cotton mills have been, in instances, the financial salvation of Houih Carolina communities; and the commercial and financial welfare of the state will be largely measured by the future prosperity of the same mills. During the year 1929, the cotton milk of South Carolina, (notwithstanding heavy curtailment throughout the year,) gave employment to 72,223 people paying total wages of $51,927,757.00 (not including salaries.) They consumed 1,311,119 bales of cotton. (466,119 more bales than were raised in the state.) * (All of the above fifuret are taken from the 1929 Year Book of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries of South Carolina.) How wonld South Carolina have fared without this? If the price of cotton is low now, where would it have been had the milla not naed the crop. What would the 724123 employcea and a hundred thousand or more dependents have done for a living? Hmwc facts are presented by the industry, with n feeling of deep responsibility for the wdfare of the State, arid with the hope that cotton manufacturing thron|h the years to eomo will always,’ as in the* past, bear its responsibility .well and become an even more Important fnctor in anfegnanHng the interests of the state and its people.
