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."

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.

A mobilization of able bodied persons
to pick cotton was ordered by
the middle Asian bureau of the central

at Tashkent, Russia. The movement
of cotton was slow and the mills 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

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
