" MODERN METHODS VhV IBB
' '", "' ' PRIMITIVE. . .
Perhaps it will interest some of
oar -readers to know that with this
progressive age we still have right
in the State families, who know lit
tle or nothing; of : any other way to
produce articles of wearing apparel
than by hand. Mr, Terrell of Labor
Commissioner LaeyV Offloe, has
some very valuable information on
this line and in conversation with
him today he very kindly gave as
the following Statistics with regard
- to tnese people who believe only in
hand labor : '
, 1 Mr. 8mitb. we will call him, raises
his own cattle, stock and bogs, tans
his leather, smooths his hides, makes
his and his familie's shoes, makes
' the nails he uses in making the shoes
at his own blacksmith shop, makes
.-. his lasts from the block of a maple
tree, also his pegs from the tree by
hand. And now I'll ; attempt to
' show yon theoost and time oonsntned
in making one pint 'of shoe-pegs
from the time the tree Is oat ? Going
to and from and felling a maple tree,
thirty minutes; then thirty minutes
more in sawing the blocks for peg,
splitting the wood, trimming the
points and making the pegs will
, oonsame last nine hoars, making in
all ten hoars, or one day. producing
one pint of pegs, they aelhng for 10
cents per pint.! Mrs.' 8mith works
- at theOld loom" while Mr. Smith
Is making his shoe pegs. Now, lets
see the time repaired for Mm. Smith
Ho produce thirty yards of cotton
cloth, used for women's dresses, 81
, inches wide, 3 yards to the pound
Picking cotton by hand from seed,
" and carding same, 160 hoars; spin,
ning - and hanking weft 85 hoars;
. retting? bark, dvina? and sizing
thread and spooling the warp 17
hours; quilling weft, 13 boors; warp.
Ing, beaming, harnessing and sley
ing thread, 10 hoars; weaving the
cloth, 75 hoars; making a total of
860 hours, or 86 days, in producing
the above Quantity. Now, this cloth
Is. worth, Bay, 15 cents per yard.
Thirty yard would be H60. The
warp, necessarily, had to be purchas
ed, and the seed cotton, we will say.
is worth fl.00 leaving a total or the
86 day's work of S3 60, or a fraction
lest than 10 cents per day. Now,
she has finished her dresses. She
consumes the following time ia
- producing 36 yards of1 woolen goods
for men's wear, 1 19 yards to the
noond, 32 inches wide: Washing
and teasing wool, 80 1-S hours; spin
ning and hanking weft, 190 hours;
getting, bark and Hying thread. 6
hours; sizing and spooling warp, 11
hours; quilling weft, warping, beam
ing, harnessing and sieving thread.
29 1-4 hours; weaving the cloth, 80
hours;; making a total of 837 hours,
or a fraction less than 34 days. The
wool was carded at the factory and
the warp yarn purchased. Clotb
sells at 40 cents per yard, 86 yards,
U 40; deduct cost of material used
which will be$8 UO.leavesanamooat
of wages reoeived to be 15.60, or a
fraction less than 14 oents per day.
Compare the above picture with
what Commissioner Lacy' report
for 1895 will say with regard to he
cotton and woolen mill industry in
North Carolina he uses the following
language: ,"-..- - - . .--
"There are 156 cotton and woolen
mills in active operation in the State
and 11 in course of construction. The i
above number of mills show that,
there are 913,4:3 spindles and 24,858
looms This is a very good showing
when you consider the fact that in
1070 there were orJy 30,000 spindles

age of 14
''The mills have consumed 123,
658,775 pounds of cotton, or about
309,147 bales weighing 400 pounds
each. Twenty six counties have pro
duced 79,473 949 pounds of yarn; thir
teen counties have produced 87,742,
655 yards of domestics; six counties
have produced 51,737,547 yards of
plaids; two counties, Forsyth and
Cabarrus, have produced 18,424,200
yards of woolen goods, Forsyth lead
ing with 18,000,000 yards alone."
The foregoing will show the incal
culablable good which has result
ed in the advanced methods of mod
ern manufacture as contrasted with
the primitive methods of hand work.
The Bureau of Labor statistics has
done much, especially under the ad
ministration of Mr.Lacy.to facilitate
and foster this advancement in North
Carolina. , , "
:,. The fact that Mr, Laoy will retire
from the office about the first of Jan
uary has been reoeived with muoh
regret As to his successor, it may
be said that the man that Is want,
ed for the place is the best man for it,
without regard to politics, a man to fill
the bill, and it is rumor that Mr. Ter
rell Is an applicant for the place and
that he is the best equipped man ia
the State tor the position. He Is three
years in advance of any other man
that can possibly be given the posi
tion. The idea U to advance the Bu
reau and its work more than any
man. Organised labor, and, in fact,
all labor, now seem to think the Bu
reau belongs toiheio, and they think
rightly. It is the only recognition
the laboring man gets in the depart
ment It should be, and will be, con
ducted in the future as in the past;
that is, entirely in the interest of the
laboring man, if the present efficient
chief olerk is promoted to the Com
missioner's chair.". Mr. Terrell has
made a great many friends among
the wage-earners and would, ms he
has done in the past, devote his whole
time and attention to their wants.
Mr. Lacy says himself that "Mr. Ter
rell is the best equipped man in tie
Bute for the position," .
Mr, Laoy's opinion, of coarse, h is
muoh weight, and we have no doubt
that Mr. Terrell would make a most
efficient officer were he appointed
