DSNE-IN THEATRE
J AN was depressed. There seemed
no way out Uncle Andrew had
arrived again! Aa aha expressed it
to George, “He’s a good enough
traveling salesman; the only trou
ble is he doesn’t travel enough!”
Uncle Andrew was somewhat of
a drifter. He made a fair living
selling, but was always dropping
in on one relative or the other. He
was a problem to “get on the
road” again. He was fortyish and
a bachelor. When Uncle Andrew
descended on a household; there
was little anyone could do but
listen to his loud jokes and com
ments:
Jan set the clothesbasket down
with a bang, and eyed the bulldog
across the fence. It eyed her.
“Ugly brute,” Jan said. Bozo gave
a low growl. Jan growled back.
As Jan often told George, they
had a “growling acquaintance.” |
which'Jan wouldn’t admit was half
affectionate. They understood each
other. Thank goodness. Jan thought.
Bozo wasn’t one of those dogs
that’s forever underfoot to be
petted, though he liked it well
enough at times. r
Looking at the dbg. Jan had an
inspiration. With Jan, to think was
to act. She was through the fence
in a minute, stopped to pat Bozo
while saying disdainfully: “At least.
I can growl at YOU without wor
rying about hurt feelings!"
Mrs. Browning would never be
a close friend; but Jan did have a
lot of respect for her. “Just like
hen dog,” Jan thought unkindly.
“They’re both a lot better than they
look!? The widow was short and
stocky. Her coarse brown hair was
frizzed in a permanent, lipstick
usually smeared, rouge dabbed on
each cheek.
Jan asked the widow over for
lunch. Flaying the role to the hHt,
the told her about Uncle Andrew
who was visiting, describing him
as eccentric but a rather wealthy
salesman, who was always Jolly
and* full of fun. While she talked,
the couldn’t help thinking how
much better the widow would look
if she’d do something about the
taint line of mustache that had de
veloped on her face.
Lunch was all that Jan had an
ticipated. The widow was dabbed
more colorfully with rouge than
usual, and hung on Andrew’s every
word, roaring with laughter.
“Isn’t he a scream?” she asked
every few minutes. Lunch over, the
widow bluntly stated it was a nice
afternoon for a drive, and Jan al
most felt sorry for Uncle Andrew as
she dragged him away.
“What's the idea?” George
asked, when they were out the
door.
Jan laughed. “I don’t think
tfnete Andrew will •stay arround too
long, with the widow chasing him!”
The next few days Jan and
George watched from the sidelines.
The widow camped on their door
step. Uncle Andrew would hardly
have time to sit down before the
widow' came in and swarmed over
him. They didn’t make a bad cou
ple. George commented. But Jan
couldn’t see Andrew standing for
much of the widow, after all the
younger girls he dated. The hectic
week passed. Saturday morning
George drove Jan to the store for
groceries, and when they returned.
Uncle Andrew was gone. Not only
Uncle Andrew, but his clothes. Jan
heaved a sigh for relief.
“I guess Uncle Andrew’s visit
is over for this time,” she said.
“I’d have hated having him around
for the next three months or so.”
"You can say that again," George
said. “I guess even Uncle Andrew
can’t take our widow. She is over
whelming!"
“I haven’t seen her today,” Jan
said idly, “But I guess she’s shop
ping, or visiting some relatives.”
Late that evening Jan opened a
telegram from Uncle Andrew.
“Left for good?” George asked
optimistically.
“And how,” Jan said, dazed.
Limply, she handed George the
telegram. George read:
“ON HONEYMOON WITH WID
OW. TIME I SETTLED DOWN
i AND SOLD REAL ESTATE. BACK
IN THREE WEEKS. WILL BE
YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. PLEASE
FEED DOG—Uncle Andrew.”

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS U. S.
IN PRODUCTION OF TEXTILES
Colombia.— Although the Slater
Mill, built in 1790 at Beverly,
Mass., is generally credited as be
ing the first cotton mill establish
ed in the United States, records in
dicate that as early as 1768 cotton
manufacturing was going on in the
Cheraw settlement. South Carolina.
By 1769 people were purchasing
cotton goods made in South Caro
lina, and by 1T70 there was a move
made to stimulate further cotton
manufacturing in the state. Writ
ing to his son in 1777, Daniel Hey
ward made the following state
ment: “My manufacturing goes on
bravely, but want of cards will put
a stop to it because they cannot be
got. If they were, there would be
the least doubt that we would make
6000 yards of cloth in the year.
of cheese cloth, 435 million yards |
print cloth, 70 million yards of dia
per cloth, and millions of yards of
other type of fabrics. ^
Largest Plant
Integration has brought plants to
bleach, print, finish and fabricate
.the cloth. In one plant near Clem-
son the complete operation is car
ried out under one roof, from bale
to the folded sheet for the shelves
of stores. This plant is the largest
on one floor in the world, with 14!
acres of floor space. The growth
in fabrication has been especially
notable in recent years. Since
World War II, more than 100 new
garment .plants have been estab
lished in South Carolina.

dustry started in the Piedmont sec-
tion in 1818, one of the first mills
being on the present site of the
Riverdale Mill, Enoree. William
Bates started a mill at Pelham
about the same time. In 1828 a mill
was built at Pendleton and a short
time later one was built at Autun
a few miles below Pendleton. In
1847 William Gregg established a
mill at Graniteviile which was the
largest mill in the Southeast at that
time, and which still is an import
ant production unit of the Granite-
villt Manufacturing Company.
30t Plant*
The development of the textile
industry in South Carolina since
William Gregg’s mill at Granite-
ville has been remarkable. Today,
South Carolina has more than 300
textile plants with approximately
6,000,000 spindles, which is one-
fourth of all the in place spindles
in the United States. Since the
middle of the 1920’s, South Caro
lina has led the nation in total spin
dle hours run. These mills con
sume 2,246,508 bales of cotton an
nually, provide employment for
147,000 people, and have a payroll
of approximately $360,000,000. More
than $500,000,000 is invested in the
textile industry in South Carolina.
The value of textile products in the
state is more than $1,600,000,000 a
yaer.
South Carolina has 28 per cent
o£ the looms in the United States.
Every type of fabric known to man
are woven on these looms from
flimsy marquisettes to rugs, scrim
to broadcloth, tape to wide sheet
ing, diaper cloth to duck. The to
tal textile production id the state
includes such items as eight va
rieties of household fabrics in 34
different classifications, 10 varieties
of weaving apparel in 64 classifi
cations, and 28 kinds of yams,
twisting and finishing.
In some of these groups the total
production is so huge it staggers
the imagination. The list includes
such products as 538 million yards
Although since 1940 one large or
ganization has built ten modem
textile plants in South Carolina,
making 21 mills it has in the state,
existing textile plants have been
constantly' expanding and carry
ing out a modernization program
which makes them as efficient as
the newest of plants.
We may expect the textile indus
try in South Carolina to grow, to
operate prosperiously, to bring new
and more jobs to boost the econo
my of the people.

23,000 Daft
Call Is6 Issued
Washington, June 8.—The Army
today issued a draft call for 23,000
men in August.
This is the same number as was
asked for July. It brings to 1,492,-
430 the total number of men drafted
or earmarked for induction since
selective service was resumed in
September, 1950.
The draft calls of the last two
months are less than half the av
erage monthly draft for the ear
lier part of this year and the last
three months of 1952.
The drops reflect plans of the
isenhower administration to trim
