Cotton Miii DevelopmeEt
W; shingtor, C., January 9.
— President Finley, of the
Southern Raihvay Company,
commenting to-day upon the
record of cotton mill construction
during the calandar year 1915,
sdri d *
“The Southern States led Wl
other sections of the country in
cotton mill development in 1912.
There were 37 new mills built in
the United States during the
year. Of these 20 were in the
Sontheastern States. Out of
533'1000 new spindles 427,000,
or 80 percent, were m the South-
Eastern mills, and out of 9,774
new looms, 6,450, or 66 per cent,
were in the Southeastern mills.,
These figureCreferr only to new
mills and take no account of the
large additions made during the
to existing plants by whicn the
manufacturing capacity of the
section was largely increased.
The aggregate increase has been
so great as practically to insure
the maintenance of the record
made by the cotton producing
states in the year August 31, 1912
when the mills of the South
consumed more cotton than
those of all other sections of the
United States..
The Road Superintendeot.
Rockingham County is" a dead
