Special to The Chronicle.
Columbia, Nov. 30.—Dr. J. H. East-
erby, director of the South Carolina
Historical Commission, today said
that the commission is anxious to
contact individuals in Laurens and
the other counties of the state who
wish to volunteer their assistance in
[compiling a bibliography of their
I county and its towns.
Such a bibliography. Dr. Easterby
stated, would include all publica
tions issued by or pertaining to the
' county, its local governing units, its
schools, its libraries, and its associa
tions, clubs, and patriotic organiza
tions. Individuals assisting the
commission in assembling local or
county material, or both, would prob
ably be able to obtain the assistance
of civic and historical groups, in
cluding the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the Daughters of
the Confederacy and the Daughters
of the American Revolution, Dr.
Easterby suggested. S<»me of these
groups may themselves be willing to
undertake the task of compiling a
bibliography of their own publica
tions and those of other public and
private associations in their coun
ties, he added.
The director of the Historical Com
mission requested that those who
wish to aid in the task of compiling
a bibliography for the state’s coun
ties and mun.cipalities to write the

Employment Rises
For Third Month
Columbia, Dec. 6.—Manufacturing
plants in South Carolina added ap
proximately 1,900 workers between
mid-September and mid-October,
marking the third consecutive month
of increased employment after a
long period o f decline. Total manu
facturing employment was 201,800
in Octboer, an increase of 0.9 of one
per cent Irom September, but 3.3 per
cent below the level of October of
last year.
Uni ke the September gain, more
than half the October increase was
contributed by the durable goods in-
uwsines, with an employment level
of 33,900 as compared with 32,900
in September. The major gain in
this group was in the lumber and
wood products industry with Octo
ber employment of 26,000. up 3.3 per
cent from September. The remain
ing durable goods industries also
showed increase, marking the first
noticeable increase for the group in
1949.
Employment in non-durable goods
industries conitnued to increase
from mid-September to mid-Octo
ber, bringing the month’s total to
167,900. The rate of increase, how
ever, was not as high as in the pre
ceding period. Textiles added 1,000
workers, raising employment in that
industry to 133,200 for October,
which is about 3.7 per cent below
the level of October, 1948. The ap
parel industry as a whole showed
some gain but employment in the
manufacture of women’s and misses'
outerwear dropped 5.7 per cent. In
the food and chemical industries,
relatively large seasonal increases
were noted with increased employ
ment in aysJfiL-and seafood process?,
ing, fertilizer plants, and cottonseed
oil mills. Only one large decrease
was noted—a seasonal decline in to
bacco stemming and redry in was the
cause of most of the 31.2 per cent
decine in employment in other non
durable goods group.
Mining employment remained at
