SOUTH ^ ^CAROUMA^ "A$ Industry Proaper?--So Prosper The People" I S I South Carolina's Main Dependence Even During Periods of Depression I I ? t During this period of depression, when hope is faint, confidence is shaken, bubbles burst, dreams fade away?when we are brought suddenly face to face with realities and return to "Rock Bottom"?then of all times can we fully appreciate the value of the textile industry. I I \\ hen agriculture is forsaken, real estate it^ depressed, local money is scarce, investments are disappointing, retail trade is I j slack, the public has largely ceased buying; when nothing will sell well and credit is ^withdrawn, it is comforting to realize that the I sustaining influence of cotton mill payrolls is still felt. |' I The true value jof a dependable, local industry is best appreciated in times such as we are now experiencing. a ?? While unavoidable circumstances have caused recessions even in cotton mill pay rolls during the months just passed, and while II all the mills may not toe able to return to full (operation for some time to come; even with curtailment, the cotton mills hare been, in instances, the financial salvation of South (Carolina communities; and the commercial and financial .welfare of the state will be II largely measured ^>y the future prosperity of the same mills. , II' During they ear 1929, the cotton mills of South Carolina, I] (notwithstanding heavy curtailment throughout the year,) * ',) gave employment to 72,223 people - Ml paying total wages of $51,927,757.00 11 (not including salaries.) I They consumed 1,311,119 bales of cotton. (466,119 more bales than were raised in the state) (All of the above figures (are taken from the 1929 Year Book of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries of ' South Carolina.) How would South Carolina have fared (without this? If the price of cotton is Jow now, where would it have been had the mills M not used the crop?/ What would the 72,223 employees and a hundred thousand or more dependents have done for a living? These facts are presented by the industry, with a feeling of deep responsibility for the welfare of the State, and with the hope I that cotton manufacturing through the years tp come will always, as in the past, bear its responsibility well and become an even I I more important factor in safeguarding the ^interests of the state and its peopl^.
