ADVANCES IX MANUFACTURES. South Shows Great Increase in Cotton Industry?This State is Third. Washington, Nov. 10.--With an out? put valued at more than $625,000,000 the cotton mill industry in 1909 among the industries of the United States ranked third in the number of per? sons employed and seventh in the value of goods produced. The figures for that purpose, just compiled by the census bureau, were made public today. A striking fea? ture of the report was the discovery that the increase in manufacturing was much greater in the Southern States than in the North. "The industry is confined almost entirely to the States east of the Miss? issippi," sjvs the report. "From ter ? ritory went of that river only 20 es? tablishments having been reported. Massachusetts is the most important State; North Carolina ranked sec? ond; South Carolina third and Rhode Island fourth. Georgia, Pennslyvania, New Haiopi/.ire, Connecticut and Al? abama, in the order, named, were the States next in rank. In general, the percentages of increase in the lead? ing Southern cotton manufacturing j States were greater than those in the , Northern States." In the three States, Alabama, South and North Carolina, the report sets forth, nearly 19 per cent of all em? ployes in the mills were children ur. - ' der 16 years of age. In Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, however, it was found that the pro , portion of women employed In the mills was much greater than in the South. i____ BARN AM) CONTENTS BURNED. J. B.
