There was n net increase of 612,- 574 spindles jin the South in 11124 and a net decrease of 362,545 spindles in the States outside of the South. “The advantages of the South for tex tile Manufacturing are shown by the fact that, in 1624, the South, with 17.- 356,1181 spindles in place, operated 49,- 698,27(11367 spindle hours, while the mills nt all other states, with 20.526,118 sjHedtys in place, operated only 30.473.- 333,254 spindle hours. In other words, southern mills, with 45.82 per cent, of the total spindles in the Unr'ted States, worked 61.64 per cent, of the total spin dle hours in that year.” This information is taken from the last edition of the Southern Hailway System Textile Directory which has recently come off the prras and which contains many statistics relative to the ootton in dustry in the South and cn particular of the industry served by the Southern Hall way. which is a 'rge per cent, ot the total. „ • • ’ t Os interest locally is the information which is fciven in regard to the mills In Cabarrus County, all of which are serv ed by the Southern Railroad.

It really stands higher than this, vfor, With the Cannon Mill at Concord, it would rank above the Loray Mill at <Jastoa ; a which has 137,50-1 spin dles and above the Lancaster Cotton Mills which have 130,608 spindles. The larg est mills are the Dan River Mills at Danville and the second largest are the Pacific Mills at Columbia, S. C. In a chart showing the growth of cot ton mills in the South, the rapid increase of the industry since 1880 is graphically depicted. It j s pointed out that the South had “only a very small propor tion ,(5.27 per cent.) of the total in 1880 and that, from year to year, there has been a steady increase, not only in the number of spindles but also In the proportion <ft the total. With 10,092.000 spindles in 1880, the. number in other states increased solwiy until the maxi mum of 204)81,178 was reached in 1022. Since that year there has been a de crease of 455,05§> as compared with an increase in the South in the same peivod of 1,395,039.” Another diagram shows the consump tion of cotton in the Southern Mills since 1877, as compared with the eon sumption of the mills in all other States. It can be seen that the consumption of cotton in the South has increased greatly from year to year and that in 1911, the Southern states surpassed the consump tion ,!n other states and haeve continued to do so singe. “In 1924 southern mills took 3,858,317 bales, which was 2,036,080 i more than all other states anil 67.92 per cent, of Hie total consumption, in the United States. In 1924 the mills outside of the South used only 1,822,237 bales, which was actually 157,277 bales less than the mills outside of the South con sumed in 1800.- “Tbe diagram shows that the recessions of the black colmuns (Southern States) have been puch less frequent and less violent than those of tile shaded columns (all other states), indicating that mills may be operated profitably .in the South when conditions in the industry are such ns to compel shut-downs in other states'.” Sergeant Killed in Accident.
