REEMINENTLY an agricultural state, from its settlement by hardy colonists in the latter part of the seventeenth century, South Carolina today cannot be so regarded. A remarkable change has taken place during the last 25 years. # 1 • South Carolina has definitely turned its face toward industry. The value of manufactured products last year was two and a half times that of its nineteen principal crops, and almost four times the value of its cotton and cotton seed combined. The pay of workers in its industries was twenty-two million dollars more than the value of cotton and cottonseed. Cotton manufacturing is by far the largest of these industries. It furnishes employment and support to a fifth of the white population of the state. * ' < 9 * Last year this industry sold its products for $238,281,167. Of this amount the larger part (approximately three-fourths) went to its operatives and to cotton farmers. ^ * » * * m * ^ * ;. The part borne by the textile industry in sharing the tax burden of the state is worth the consideration of citizens.. The textile industry of South Carolina is a good citizen, meeting its public obligationsrpromptly, • To keep the leadership in the industry which the state has achieved, to offer increased opportunities to the people who work in the mills, and to enable business interests to continue enjoying the benefits from such an industry, South Carolina should take warning from those unfortunate manufacturing states where industry has been torn by dissension and disrupted by ruinous legislation. If South Carolina believes the textile industry worthwhile, she should look upon it as her own—as something to be en couraged to grow and expand. 1 ’ • , ‘ * . « ‘ ' " Harmony, confidence, mutual understanding and good-will constitute the foundation upon which the iddustry has devel oped, and upon this foundation rests its hope to continue.
