SOUTH CAROLINA FIRST LADY -The Anderson Independent says that the next "first lady" of South Carolina., Mrs. Olin I). Johnston, belongs to Anderson, not only as the wife of the new governor, who is a native of this county, but because she spent four valuable years of her life in Anderson. This was when she was Miss Gladys Atkinson of Macon, (lit., and a student of Anderson college, where she was graduated. It was while, an Anderson collego girl that she met Olin 0. Johnston, and the first time she met him she told her best friend that she had met the mXn she would marry. Intuition perhaps, better still love at first sight, for Mr. Johnston seemed to have the idea that he had met his future wife. Mrs. Johnston has been one of the best alumnae members ever graduated from Anderson college. She not only keeps tip her interest, she just loves her 'alma mater and cannot do enough for it. This was recognized by the authorities and she is now, and has been for several years, a member of the board of directors of Anderson college. Not only i- Mrs. Johnston an en I thusiast in the matter of education, she is an enthusiast in everything1 she I undertakes, She has been a great inspiration to her husband, not only inspiring him, she has assisted materially in the attainment of his aspirations. In the Capital City, where Mrs. Johnston will make her home for the next four years, she is not a stranger. She has been there for several years in the capacity of clerk in the house. She has made friends easily, and not only makes friends but holds them. With her attractive personality, Mrs. Johnston will make an ideal wife for the governor, and with her tact and sagacity she will be of great assistance to him in his high, and often difficult position. ,. . On the eve of the election, when i surrounded by friends, Mrs. Johnston unselfishly and loyally gave the credit to the assistance of friends say- ; ing: I "1 was never so happy in my life, and nut only because Olin is elected ;gu\e.nor but because I know it was i our friends that made it possible for , him to he elected." 1 t - 1 r 1 J ? Cotton Goods Increase In Price The value of cotton goods manufactured in South Carolina during the year closing August 5 showed an iucreaVe of more than $(>0,000,000 over the previous year, according to J. Koy Jones, commissioner of agriculture,commerce and industries, who released today statistical data compiled'by' his department. In the same year in which this large increase took place there was a decrease in cotton consumption in this state of 07,520 bales as compared with 1933. The table issued by Mr. Jones contains a great deal of information with respect to the textile industry of the state. It does not give any information with regard to wages paid. This, Commissioner Jones suid, would be made public as soon as all , the figures in hand* had been properly, compiled. Capital invested in textile plant* fehows an increase of $0,051,252 while the number of spindles increased 53,253 and the number of looms showed an increase of 2,4-15, T Tht^ total number of employees is giVen as 86,503 which is an increase of 443 over the previous year. It is noted that the number of white meh , employed was 215 above the previous year while the number of white women employees showed a decrease of 1,501. There was an increase in the number of negro women employed of 114 while 100 more negro men were at work than in the previous year. Total capital invested in 1034 in textile plants is given as $203,171,56# as against $103,220,306 in 1033 and $210,348,371 in 1932. The total value of the output for the year ending in August is listed at $202,326,771 as compared with I $141,616,530 in 1033 and $135,058,435 in 1032. ! Two years ago there were 63,483 textile workers in the mills of South | Carolina while on August 1 this year the number stood at 86,503. Data regarding all industries in the 1 state are being compiled by the de- | partment of agriculture, commerce and industries and will be included; in the report which Commissioner Jones will make to the legislature when it meets in January. 1 A mobilization of able bodied persons to pick cotton was ordered by the middle Asian bureau of the central Yommittoe of the Communist party at Tashkent, Russia. The movement of cotton was slow and the mills i \\(-re waiting for it. , i Recovering Gold From Sea Water New York, Oct. 5.?^Recovery of the first actual gold and silver ever taken from sea water^ tapping the storehouse of metal everywhere dissolved in ocean water, was announced here tonight by Dr. Willard H, Dow, of the Kthyl-Dow Chemical company. This first precious sea water metal is a tin^ nugget, one-tenth of a milligram, no bigger than the head of a pin, It is half gold and half silver. It came from the Atlantic ocean at Wilmington, N. C. It is part of tho? goldfarul silver in 12 tons of sea water which was running through the sea water bromine plant near Wilmington. of the Kthyl-Dow company. The recovery fulfills a prediction made at St, Petersburg, Fla., last March hy the same chemists that gold and silver could be taken from -sea. water. It also proves definitely the error in the world-wide scientific belief that .no practical way would be found to get the gold out of the sea. The 12 tons of water yielded up part of its gold and silver by a treatment with colloidal sulphur. This sulphur was practically liquid. It dissolved in.the water, and, when it settled out, liWv a sediment, it carried lh<? long sought precious metals. The gold in this first tiny nugget represents about one three hundredth part of the yellow metal which the spectroscope indicates exists in the same 12 tons of water which was treated with the sulphur. The gold recovered is equal to one one hundredth of one part in a billion of the water. The spectroscope shows the total gold percentage is 2.3 parts in a million. The silver is present in larger quantities. If the spectroscope is right, there is enough gold in sea water to pave the United States and enough to roof the world. Four New York and New Jersey alienists after closely examining Bruno Hauptmann, extortioner and suspected kidnaper and killer of the Lindbergh child, declare that he is sane. Dolores Morel, Spanish-American dancer, held at Montreal, Canada, for the slaying of William Owen, a broker's assistant, admits to the polfce that she plunged a knife into Owens and chums self-defense. Mrs. Nettie Nelson, 83, of Oakland, Oal., refused to got excited because of ;i fire in an apartment underneath her domicile. She told the firemen to put it out. as she wanted ^o finish her Sunday morning sleep. The fire wu> put out. * " ~ McMAHON AND GORMAN (By David Clark, Editor Textile Bulletin). Thomas F. McMahon and Francis J. | Gorman, president and vice-president j of the United Textile Workers, are, foreigners and if they can wreck the textile industry of the United iStates or raise the cost of producing cotton goods high enough, their native land, England, will benefit handsomely. The cotton mills in England have been unionized for 25 years or more but textile wages in that country are even now lower than in this country before NRA. , Thomas F. McMahon came to Charlotte in the fall of 1919 as an organizer and assisted by John J. Dean organized unions in North Carolina, Concord, Kannapolis and Albermaile. He promised those who joined that if and when a strike came they would be given $7 per week relief money. After dues estimated at $50,000 had been p^id by union members in this section, a strike occurred (May, 1921), but. none of the members ever received the $7 per v^ek or found out what became of the $o0,000. At the first strikers were stalled with stories about the money which was to be sent them from northern unions and merchants were induced to extend credit in anticipation of the funds which were to be sent. "lhe. strikers were given instructions in begging food and money from merchants and other citizens, and at first substantial contributions were re-1 ceived. When that source ran dry McMahon . went north and there were statements about the_ millions of relief money he would bring back with him. When he finally came he had only $2,290 with him and the hungry and e?'.raged strikers who met him at the j Mecklenburg hotel threatened to lynch him. McMahon was so badly j frightened that he drove to NewellSj ami caught a train (or New York. It was seven years before he again ( showed his face in North Carolina. I John J. Dean also disappeared and the strike ended without a single | point having been gained as the result of the same. At least seven small merchants in mill communities, went into bankruptcy as the result! of the food they had given to strik-j ers while depending upon McMahon's promises about the millions of dol- J lars of relief money which were to come from the North. Francis J. Gorman went to Danville, Va., about four yuars ago and organized a union in the Riverside and Dan River t'otton Mills, where the highest wages in the South were paid, and where, under H. H. Fitzgerald, everything possible had been done for the welfare and pleasure of the mill workers. After a considerable sum had been paid as dues, there was a strike and the jisual stalling occurred but the strikers never received any relief except that' which they secured from citizens.of Danville. Gorman induced a number of strikers who owned their own homes to sign a note as the means of securing groceries and assured them that there would be ample funds with which to pay same. When things became too hot Gorman disappeared and left those who endorsed the note to stand suit and lose their homes. Not a single thing was gained as the result of the Dancille strike. 1 At. the recent meeting of the Unit- 1 ed Textile Workers in New York, it 1 was stated that there was $1,000,- ' )00 in the treasury but it is my guess I that it will stay there to provide sal- 1 aries f<.r the officials. The money was paid into the treasury by those who are now striking *n?J m.iny of them need fund< but the Md stalling game is beginning. Workers are being told to beg relief from merchants and citizens until such time as funds can be secured from the * North and wild tal s are being spread about the large sums which are to tome. It is a safe bet that the strikers will never get any of the million dolars which they helped to accumulate % A special board of army and public H|$ works engineers have reported the Ht'1 proposed Atlantic-Gulf ship canal B*: across Florida to be outside the normal, self-liquidating requirements of Bu the PWA regulations for repayment' H? and amortization.
