OF the income of the South Carolina cotton mills; the two major classes of population, the farmer and the operative, receive 79%. It is interesting to study the widely varying conditions under which these two otherwise closely associated groups live. The U. S. Department of Commerce reports a reduction in farm population: of over three million people since 1920. During the brief period from 1921 to 1925 the number or operatives in cotton mills of South Carolina increased 27%, while during the same period farm acreage decreased 11%, and farm . population decreased 12%. * While there are many reasons -for such a tendency, unquestionably the principal reason is in the fact that the farmer, discouraged with hard labor; frequent exposure; comparatively small, uncertain income; a poor home; unsatisfactory church and school facilities; poor sanitation and health safeguards; and burdened with the uncertainties of selling, as well as producing; is socking an easier life, a more certain income, and the comparative peace of'mind that accompanies life in the modern mill community. In the mill village he enjoys a better built home, with modern conveniences, and at a negligible cost. rJ^ho community life is more pleasant. Schools, churches, parks, organized recreation, and generally higher standards of living ?r<T afforded. All is not work. There is time to play. llours are regular, wages are certain. There is -no gamble, no risk to run. The average family weekly wage of the South Carolina operative is more than double that of the farmer. This in spite of the fact that there are* wealthy farmers who raise the average considerably. .What wonder that populations in cotton mill villages are increasing!
