NO BIG PROFITS IN THE COTTON MILLS SAYS CLARK Charlotte Editor lawks for Curtailment of Textile Operations. Charlotte. Jail. 1.-—The first six months of 1924 has little in store for the cotton mill* of this section, but the industry will make fair profit* during the last half of the year, according to David Clark, editor of the Southern Tex tile Bulletin, and due of the best posted men in the industry. The mills are dos ing the year in the midst of a curtail ment movement which has been caused by apathy in the cotton goods market and the sustained excessive eautio nos buyers, froth' jobbens on through to the consumer. It & not hoped that this state of the market will change in time to affect the profits of the. textile in dustry for the first half of the new year. Mr. Clark’s prediction for the second half of the year is based upon the as sumption that the markets will be so depletisl before the end of six months that perforce there will be a consider able bnying movement and tbe mills many of which have been compelled dur ing recent months to warehouse a con siderable part of their output, will be able to dispose of their manufactured stocks at a profit. It i« estimated by Mr. Clark and others familiar with the textile industry in North Carolina that approximately 23.000 individuals share .each year in the profits or losses of the mills, this i being the number of stockliolders.dn^^M interested in the textile industry in North Carolina is larger than the num ber in all of lhe other Southern states combined although this Slate has only about one-third of the spin.dles in the South. The manner in which the cotton mill industry was developed in North Caro lina is responsible for the wide distri bution of stock in the mills of this State. It is also responsible for tbe small aver age size of tbe mills of the State. Most of the mills in this State were estab lished as community enterprises, the promoters being merchants, .bankers, farmers, and other business and profes sional men who were interested origin ally and primarily in providing profit able employment for the people of the community, increasing the payroll of their town and providing a market for the product* of the adjacent agricultural community. The Jade I). A. Tompkins, pioneer industrial leader and economist, fre ouently declared that the surest and best way to insure the prosperity of agricultural and commercial North Caro lina was to build cotton mills and other industries which would provide pur chasing power for mercantile and agri cultural produets. Those who today have given most thought to the matter are agreed that Mr. Tompkins was right and that the present advanced position of North Carolina in commerce and agri culture has resulted most largely from the building up of industrial cities, towns and villages of the State. The mills of North Carolina today number approximately 400 and the av erage size is about 12,000 spindles, as compared with an average of .10.000 spindles for the much smaller number of mills in South Carolina. The mills of the State consume considerably more than 1,000,000 bales of cotton a year. Greensboro Attorney Desperately 111. (By the Associated Press.) Greensboro, Jan. I.—Junius I.
