FACTS FROM TIIF FACTORY.
The manufacture of cotton has be
come one of the most important in
dustries in our midst today, and the
multiplication of factory towns are
giving rise to various problems which
have an important bearing on the
social, political and industrial in
terests of the country. The factory
vote has become a strong temptation
to low politicians to excite the
prejudices of tlie operatives by in
dulging in hypocritical cant about
the oppressions of incorporated capi
tal; while outside of politics much
has been said and written by men
utterly ignorant of the actual condi
tions, and much more by men who
were so blinded by prejudice as to be
incapable of anything like a fair
presentation of facts.
Happening to be at Pacolet thills
last Saturday and having a leisure
hour on hand, we determined to
look into particulars more closely
than we had ever done before, as
much for our own personal satisfac
tion as for the purpose of laying our
observations before the public. We
sought and obtained permission to
go through the mill, with a compe
tent guide and here is what we saw
and heard, without either perversion
or embellishment:
The first room visited was the
picker room, above which the bales
are opened and into which the loose
cotton is thrown, preparatory to its
start through the machinery. Here
we found one man attending to live
picking machines ranged in a row.
He had his sleeves rolled up above
the elbows, and would gather up an
arm-full of the loose cotton pitch it
into a machine in bulk, and pass on
to the next machine which he treated
in the same manner. The cotton
passed out of the machines slowly
and we noticed that after he had
thrown into each of the five, he
took a seat and waited leisurely for
the cotton to pass out of the first
machine, when he would begin the
round again. After watching him
several minutes wo concluded that he
was not actively employed more than
half his.time. Just to the right of
him was a little boy about ten years
of age, feeding a dainty little ma
chine on cotton wads about the size of
hickory nuts, which, we were told,
collected on the spindles, and were
passed through this machine in or
der to straighten out the fiber and
save it for use. The boy here was
a bright little fellow and seemed
proad of his machine and glad to
impart information about it. He
told us that he was getting twenty-
five cents a day.
In the next room we found three
men handling rolls of bats that had
been passed in from the pickers,
which they passed on into the card
ing room. The machinery in this
room is divided into sections, one
hand attending to a section. Each
hand litre gets from seventy-five
cents to one dollar a day, according
to the number of cards in his or her
section. A hoy apparently l. r j or I<»
years old brings rolls to the carders
ir. boxes mounted on wheels at sev
enty-five cents a day, while another
boy about 12 years old moves the
cans of rolls on to the drawing frames,
at forty cents a day, and still another
boy at the same wages moves them
^on to still finer frames. They are
then passed on to what are called the
feeders and slubbers, where the rolls
are spun out into still finer threads.
These machines were watched and
manipulated by both boys and girls,
who we were told were paid each
♦1.05 a day. We found here also
two little boys who were making
each twenty-five cents a day, by stay
ing around sweeping the aisles oc
casionally, and making themselves
generally useful. Men and women
too, were hero watching long rows of
whirling spools, and removing arid
replacing us they were filled and
emptied. We were told that these
received each $1.05 a day.
Then wo were carried by an eleva
tor up into the spinning room
proper, which is the most popular
room in the^njll* This room is full
was a number of little boys, called
dofTers, whose business was to assist
the spinners, and who were required
to be on duty every other hour. The
spinners get fifty cents a day, and
the dofTers thirty-five cents. We
judged the ages of the spinners to
range from 12 to 10 years, and of the
dofTers from 10 to Hi.
At the end of this room were the
warping frames, three of which wore
looked after by one girl who gets sev
enty-five cents a day. We noticed a
comfortable seat attached to the
wall, which we were told the girl
could occupy fully half of her time,
her duties consisting in watching for
the breaking of threads and remov
ing the great spools when they get
full. It takes about, 3.1 hours for
all these to fill, and on an average
the operative has to thread up one
about every hour.
The regular spooling frames are in
rows with one girl to each row. She
gets ♦IS a month, while another girl
who attends to a longer row of frames
gets ♦! a dav. Here, as everywhere
else, the pay is in proportion to the
skill and efficiency of the operative.
We next passed to the sizing room,
presided over by men who get from
seventy-five cents tofl. 1<> a day. The
heavy spools are lifted into place by
a chain full, and the men for the
most part merely stand and watch
the machinery do the work. We
were told that the men in this room
all came from the farms in the sur
rounding country where they hud
beeii accustomed to perform heavy
manual labor at fifty cents a day.
In passing through the different de
partments of the mill, we struck
some of the operatives at their idle
1 hours and others at their busy hours,
hut we learned that hardly any one
in the mill is busy all the time. The
only place we visited where all the
work was nut done by machinery
was one side of this sizing room,
where long rows of girls were seated
and busily putting the threads into
harness by hand, just as our mothers
used to do. 'J'hesc girls get from ♦I I
to ♦20 a month.
The noisest room in the whole mill
is the weave room which we entered
next. The clashing of the hundreds
of looms is deafening, and we found
it difficult to hear the information
which our guide attempted to give
us. We managed to see, however,
that the looms are managed by men,
women, boys and girls, and to learn
that one hand attends to from four
to eight looms, at wages ranging
from ♦25 to ♦85 a month or from ♦!
to ♦1.50 a day.
In following the various processes
through which the cotton passes
from the bale to the cloth, we have
but one more step to take and that
is into the cloth room. Here we
were first attracted by four little
boys manipulating something like
dainty sewing machines which
stitched the ends of different pieces
of. cloth together and then passed the
cloth on into great rolls. These boys
were as clean and neat ns dry goods
clerks and seemed intent upon their
work. They get each forty cents a
day.
T1 cloth then passes through an
other machine between emery rol
lers and sand papered wheels which
take ofl all the loose nap and leave
it smooth and glossy. There was a
hoy 12 years old attending to this
j machine who told us that he had to
| change his rolls about every half
! hour and that it took him about five
minutes to make the change. He
admitted that during the rest of the
time which constituted fully five-
sixths of the whole, he had nothing
to do. He gets sixty cents a day,
and works about ten minutes an
hour.
The cloth is then put into the fold
ing machine where a boy sits and
counts the folds as they are made at
the rate of fifty or sixty a minute.
This boy gets seventy cents a day
and never makes a mistake. After
the cloth is folded into bolts, another
man puts the bolts into a slumping
machine, and a boy called the rag
boy, stands and applies a blotter to
the stumps as fast as they come
from the stamping machine. The
bolts are then inspected by some
girls when they are put into bales
and pressed into small compass un
der a powerful press. The boy who
counts the folds gets seventy cents
a day, the rug boy forty cents, the
inspectors sixty-live cents and the
stamper and baler seventy-five cents
each.
The operatives in every depart
ment were us healthy and contented
looking set of people us we have ever
seen ; the building is kept perfectly
comfortable in all weather; there is
no muscular exertion required any
where, us machinery does all the
lifting when anything weighty is to
be moved.
When we returned to the office, we
were permitted to look into the book
in which are kept the accounts of all
of long spinning fram^ intended to i the operatives. Wo opened it at
by long rows of t)#ys amY i^'TSh rlWidorn and olimr-fH (»v4.p « f„...

These b<$ys and girls all seemed to
have their 4 eyes open, hut thelrlmnds
were not kept at all busy, us the ogiy
tting they - had to do was to mend a
thread here and there when one
would break, A * f v wt) ^

W o noted that one man

: leurrfed,' was too old ami feeble to

ne of them out, hud a credit of
u. We noted here that the
company had furnished her supplies
to an amount greater than her earn
ings. Then we noticed a credit of
♦81 to the account of a man with one
child, ♦81.10 to the credit of a widow
with three children, all girls; and
♦40.05 to another widow with four
children, all girls. Of course these
were all monthly credits.
We learned on inquiry that the
Methodist and the J’aptist denomi
nation have each a church building
which cost about ♦2,000. The Bap
tist raised about ♦(>00 and the Metho
dist ♦800 towards the building of
these churches, and the company
paid the balance. The company
further pays every Sunday to
each church of all denominations,
that holds religious services. Wc
enquired about the school and found
that over 100 pupils attended it last
session. The company accepts what
money is appropriated from the pub
lic fund and pays the balance of the
expenses, keeping four teachers
regularly employed, and charging no
one a cent for tuition.
We present these bare facts this
week and hope they will be read.
We have not room for any comments
of our own. We take it for granted
that the same general conditions
prevail in other mills in this section
that prevail at Pacolet.

FventK in l.ower Cherokee.
(Correspondence of The J»ecftjer.)
Etta Jane, October <i.—Yester
day’s rain caught a good deal of hay
down and cotton in the field.
At the meeting of the Broad River
Association, at Draytonville church
a few weeks ago an old veteran from
the upper section of our country at
tended, who was asked if he was a
electioneering, and he said he was.
He was met again at a similar gather
ing in N. C., and when asked the
same question said he was “looking
round,” for he didn’t know but that
his wife might die and then he might
electioneer in that state some, too.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Camp, of State
Line, visited her Union and Cherokee
county friends last week. Mrs.
Camp was a Miss Coudelock and is
one of the best women who ever lived
in this section. We are glad to know
that she is getting along well.
We had the pleasure of attending
the meeting of the Cherokee County
S. S. Convention at Corinth last
week. Ignite a large congregation
was present, especially on Sunday.
The organization was perfected and
is now in a position to do its work.
The Corinthians treated that body
with profuse hospitality and to their
successful work we may attribute
the success of the convention. It
was the good fortune of the writer to
be assigned a home with the family
of Mrs. John Pettit, where he hud all
the comforts, of a well furnished
home bestowed upon him. The fam
ily are friends and patrons of The
Ledger afid hold it in high esteem.
We are yet to hear the first com
plaint of the conventional work. In
the absence of our esteemed and ac
complished president, It. O. Sams,
the vice president, T. M. Littlejohn,
presided, and managed every detail
of the work with his accustomed firm
ness and fairness.
We confidently expect great good
accomplished by this organization in
Cherokee county.
We also spent several days in CafT-
ney this week, during which time we
met people from all parts of the
county who spoke hopefully of the
outlook of our county. There is no
discounting the fact that with the !
proper management of our allairs we I
will have the banner county of the
state.
Mr. James Eison, who has been
sawing lumber in this neighborhood
for several weeks, has moved bis
machinery for the present. Ho will
return this winter and do some saw-
log.
Mr. Ed Clary is a model farmer
and one of Rowlingsviile’s best citi
zens. He also runs a dairy. He bus
eight line milch cows from which he
gets an abundance of milk and
butter. He has all the improved
methods for making butter and,
withal, he is a hustler. Like every
other married man who succeeds in
business he has a wife to whom at
least half of his success may be
attributed. It is seldom the case
that industrious women get credit
for the success of their husbands
which their care, attention and man
agement make possible.
Mr. Meek C. Parker has charge of
the mail service, as carrier, between
GalTney and this place.
Several of our Pea Ridge friends
came over to attend court at GalTney
tliis week.
Mrs. Rebecca Tolleson Osment, of
Henderson, N. 0., is visiting friends
and relatives in this section.
Several farmers who have tried it
say (hut their corn doesn't “shuck
out” this year like it ought to.
The price of cotton is some en
couragement to those who have it to
sell. But it will have to go much
higher yet before it fully pays the
farmers for raising it, this year at
least.
The scandal monger is always
loaded with news. It’s no trouble
for him to get it and it is always a
pleasure to deliver the goods.
On the third Sabbat h of this month,
15th inst., Rev. W. E. Crocker will
preach his farewell sermon at El
be hel. He and his good lady expect
soon to sail for their mission field
beyond the Atlantic. While their
work is a noble one and their self
sacrifice truly commedable their
friends hate to part with them.

The regular monthly meeting of
the town council took place Friday
night. All the members of the coun
cil were present. The routine busi
ness of the oouncil was gone through
with in the usual order. A motion
to erect a house on the cemetery
grounds for a keeper was carried and
the clerk instructed to ask for bids
from the contractors. The cemetery
committee—Messrs. Smith and Cash
—were authorized to employ a sur
veyor and lay oil additional lots in
the cemetery.
This was a good move on the part
of the board, and it is to be Imped j 2
that they will bestir themselves and
give the cemetery more attention
than they have in the past. There
is no spot that is so sacred as the
city of the dead and all that can pos
sibly be done to beautify it should he
done. In fact it should be made the
most beautiful and attractive place
in the city and we hope that it will
be.

have entered into a novel plan to
test the merit of Ledger advertising.
They are going to give to the little

the columns of this paper a pretty

Read the plan of donation in their

little girl is entitled to enter the con

friends as she can enlist in the cause
to assist her. Let the fun begin at

must get their coupons outside of
