a SOUTHERN MILLS MAKE
y MORE THAN NORTHERN
. Mills of South Make More Profit
l. Than Those hi North, New York
Bank Finds After Survey.
, Earnings of cotton mils in the i
\ South have held up better than those j
a in the North, the business conditions |
- bulletin for July of the National Pity j
r Bank, New York, which reached;
Greenville manufacturers last week,
• asserts.
f The hank compares the industry
• in the two sections and draws inter-
J esting conclusions.
1 j "Under stress of competition for a
• | limited volume of business,” the bul-
I letin states, “the southern milts have |
'! had a considerable advantage over the -
' northern mills by reason of lower
' production costs.
“For a great many years the in
dustry in Ihe South has been growing
. rapidly until at the present time near
. l.v 50 per cent, of the total spindleage
is located in that section, chiefly in
Alabama, the Carolina s, Georgia and
Virginia. A number of factors have
. contributed to his growth, including
lower wages (made possible by the I
climate wine's reduces the outlay per I
worker for fuel, clothing and shelter),
newer, and more modern plant and '
equipment, more favorable labor laws {
and the comparative absence of un
ions. In the beginning the presence
of raw cotton was also of some ad
vantage but at the present time, when
so large a part of the cotton crop
comes from across the Mississippi
and ean be carried from Texas by
water to New England more cheaply
than by rail to the Cnrolinas. this
advantage has largely disappeared."
'Pile bank says that too much per
haps has been made of the difference
in wages paid here and in the North
“While the actual wage paid is
considerably lowtr in the South,” it
reports, "many of the mills, having
sprung up so to streak in the open
countryside, have had to expend large
sums for housing facilities for em
ployees and for general welfare work
which does not fully pay for itself and
is, therefore, really a part of wage
expense.
“A more fundamental reason for
lower southern production cost," the
statement continues, “lies in longer
working hours ami in the fact that
the industry in that section is newer
and therefore, generally speaking, its
equipment is more up-to-date.”
Both northern and southern- mills,
the hank says, have a common in
terest in tlie problems confronting the
industry today.
“High and fluctuating prices for!
raw cotton, fashion, and the rise of
silk in popularity have spelled diffi
cult times for the industry. Under
these circumstances, temporary mill
curtailments, while it may doubtless
effect improvement for a time, can
liarly be expected to work a perma
nent cure. This, it seems more
probable, will come in due time
through increased stability of cotton
prices and discovery within the in
dustry of the means of broadening the
market for cotton goods through pro
duction of fabrics and styles carrying
greater popular appeal, and perfec
tion of methods of distribution to con
form more closely to modern condi
tions of small lot orders aim rapidly
changing styles.”
Explaining causes of decreased con
sumption of cotton goods, the bulletin
points to the fewer and shorter gar
ments worn by women and the great
ly increased popularity of silks, in
cluding rayon.

VHE CONfI&D DAILY TRIBUNE
I STANLY COUNTY MEN
HILLED IN ACCIDENT
t Jake Kimmer and GUoii
I Hl>rt ' Vh *“ C * r
-! Wben their ear ran off a 2ft.foot I
j fill abput two miles on this of
I Albemarle Monday night, JakeKim
j mer and O'aude Tucker, Stanly men.
i were fatally hurt, another man named
Tucker suffered a broken shoulder
and a fourth man, whose name could
not be learned here, was badly bjhiised
and cut.
Four Concord men, returning from
Albemarle about 11:30. extricated the
dead men from the wreckage of their
I ear and carried the injured Tncker
:to the Albemarle Hospital. The Con
cord men were Wesley Walker, Archie
and Raymond Snyder and Engcne
leenhour.
According to these men they saw
a man.sitting on the side of the road,
waving an arm, when they reached
a point about two miles on thig side
of Albemarle. They did not stop,
not knowing what he wanted, but
later decided to go back since the
! man seemed to be hurt.
| When they reached the man, who
proved to be Tucker, lie told them
l'he had two buddies at the bottom of
j the fill and he expected they were
dead. Tucker could not move one
arm. the Concord• men said, v and he
was bleeding from numerous cuts.
Crawling down the side of Hie fill
the four Concord men felt among the
wreckage of the car until they lo
cated the bodies of Kimmer and
Claude Tucker. Both were dead and
the bodies were almost cold, it was
said. The party had no light and
had to feel about in the ruins of the
car to locate the bodies.
Two of the Concord men placed
Tucker in Mr. Walker's car and car
ried him to the Albemarle hospital.
They also notified police officers aud
the coroner of Stanly county. Two
of the party remained with the dead
bodies.
When the officers reached the scene
of the tragedy and removed the
bodies, the Concord party returned
home.
Reports from Albemarle this morn
ing stated that a fourth man was in
the wreck and was undergoing treat
ment in the Albemarle hospital. This
man was not seen by the Concord
men and must have cither walked in
to Albemarle or have been hidden ,
somewhere in the ruins of the' car.
His name could not be learned.
Tucker, the Concord men stated,
asked that he be taken to his home
. | instead of the hospital but the re
’ i quest was not granted. Apparently
. | he wanted to get home without any
. | one knowing he had been in the acci
[ dent.
; A large broken jug was found near
the car. it was reported, and odors
of ajeoliol were much in evidence.
, Ah inquest into the tragedy is to
, be held in Albemarle sometime this !
, afternoon, it was reported here.
’ STABLE AT FAIR GROUNDS
TO BE REBUILT AT ONCE
Contractors Asked to Submit Bids to
Fair Officials Sometime During the
Week.
The fire which destroyed 73 stalls
in the stable at the Cabarrus County
. Fair grounds Sunday night will in
, no way interfere with plans for the
. 1926 fair, it became definitely known
. today when officials of the associa
tion discussed plans for the rebuild
ing of the stable.
Dr. T. X. Spencer, secretary of the
association, states that local contrac
[ tors have been asked to submit bids
for the erection of the stable, and the
. contract probably will be awarded
. early next week.
The contractors, it was cxplaiVmd,
have been asked to submit their bids
, this week, and after the contract has
been awarded work will be begun
without delay.
The stalls can be completed easily
within six weeks, it was said, and
were it necessary they could be built
in two weeks. However, as the fair
is not to be held until October, there
will be on effort to complete the work
under a month or six weeks.
It is probable. Dr. Spencer said,
that the new stalls will be a little
larger than the old ones. The ones
buried were 10x10 and the new ones
will be 10x12 if present plans are
carried out. '
It is also probable, it was ex
plained. that the new gate will be
larger than the old one. The space
for ears will be wider and in addition
) there jjrill be a walkway. These
| changes will necessitate the building
I of fewer stalls so the total number
will probably be 82 instead of 85 as
before.
“We are not going to let a little
tiling like this fire halt our plans tor
, the biggest fair in the biitory of the
ebunty.” Dr. Silencer said in dls
cussing plans for the rebuilding of ;
the stable. "We have plenty of time
I to get a new stable and when Oc
tober comes the public will find the
grounds in perfect condition againT
