NUMBER OF WOMEa IS LESS Tendency Toward Fabrication of Fin'er Goods Than Heretofore Is Reflected In Decreased Consumption of Raw Material. Columbia. E. J. "Watson, commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries, j has completed his statistical report for 1913 on the textile Industry In1 South Carolina. The figures show an Increase in capitalization, an increase in the value of the annual product, a decrease in the number of bales of cotton consumed and an increase in the number of operatives employed by the cotton mills of the state. The total number of people employ-1 ed by the mills last year was 49,695,! an increase of 1,938 over 1912. Of those, 30,317 were white males and 15,218 white females. The increase in the number of females employed this 1 year over last year was only 315. Mr. i Watson considers this an Indication that male labor is supplanting female l&bor to some degree in the South Carolina mills. This end is desired by all who have the betterment of the race at heart. I In 1913 the mills of South Carolina had a total capital of $88,674,738, an increase of $4,905,092 over 1912. The value of their product in 1913 was $84,490,674, which approximates close-1 ly the value of the state cotton crop, for this year. By August, 1913, the | value of the products of the cotton mills exceeded that for the same period during 1912 by $5,239,513. The final figures now being compiled in-1 dicate that the value of the produce during 1913 will exceed those of 1912 by nearly $11,000,000. In 1913 the mills consumed 800,295 bales of cotton, which was 21,271 bales less than the amount used in 1912. Mr. Watson attributes this decrease to the fact that many of the mills of the state are making a finei grade of cloth which calls for less cotton. The statistics for 1913 show the decrease of 29,716 tons in the amount of coal consumed by the mills as compared to 1912. This is due, says Mr. Watson, to the increased use of electric power. During 1913 the mills paid the!*1 employes $14,906,848, an increase of $1,242,910 over 1912. The figures do [ not include the salaries of office forces or oificers, but simply the wages of I roc I Mr. Watson pointed out recently that it was impossible to determine the average wage of the employes of the mills by dividing the number of operatives into the total sum of their wages, on account of the fact that so many of the operatives did plec* work. The total number of spindles in 1913 is 4,527.430, an increase of 153,516 over 1912. The total number of looms was 111.4S3 in 1913, an increase of 4,813 over 1912. j Clarendon Has Great School Fair. The Clarendon county school fait and the "better babies" contest, held here recently drew one of the largest assemblies of people ever seen in Manning and all were pleased beyond measure at the all round success of the occasion. The pupils of about 25 schools in the county attended the meeting. j motion rteporr ror oouin v/aroima. According (o a Btatement issued by the United States census bureau recently 1,160,815 running bules of cotton have been ginned in South Carolina prior to December 1, as compared to 1,041,639 to the same date last year.
