INTRODUCTION.
Raleigh, N. C., November 30th, 1895.
To His Excellency, Elias Ca.br,
Governor of North Carolina,
Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir -.—Pursuant to law, I herewith submit this the Ninth
Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It gives me pleas-ure
to say that this is a decided improvement on the last. I cannot
give too much credit to my Chief Clerk, Mr. L. D. Terrell, who,
by efficiency and faithfulness combined with the knowledge he
acquired while in the employment of the Government in Wash-ington,
has proven himself to be the "right man in the right place."
There is no doubt that this bureau is doing a great deal of good
in a quiet way, and as it is becoming better known and its objects
understood, it is meeting with the endorsement of both capital and
labor. It is true there are some who cannot see the good of any-thing
that does not put money in their pockets, and others whose
only criterion is a dollar, and judge everything from that hard,
cold standard. Yet, I am glad to say, the large majority of our
people, both rich and poor, judge a man by his character alone,
and welcome any means that will tend to make our people broader
and better, and this work, if properly prosecuted, will do a great
deal toward broadening and educating them to understand that
the State has rights that even wealth has to respect, and making
the poor man feel that he possesses some part of the government,
which is the only way to make him a good citizen. To the super-
C£ ficial observer there may seem to be a conflict of statements
V) between this report, as to the number of cotton mills in the State,
^. and that of the very efficient Agricultural Department, but if
JJ examined it will be seen that we agree. We report only one hun-
iv Introduction.
dred and fifty-six mills in operation while that department reports
one hundred and seventy-six. There are at least six mills that
answer onr blanks as one, though numbered one, two and some-times
three, and have in some instances different directors and
stock-holders, for example: The Oneida Mills appear in the
August Bulletin of the Agricultural Department as Nos. 1, 2 and
3, while our blanks are filled out as if there was only one mill.
I desire to call your special attention to "Notes of interest that
have happened among the cotton mills of North Carolina during
the season of 1895." These notes were gathered by Mr. Terrell,
within a short time. during the season, and show very clearly that
we are progressing rapidly in this particular industry.
According to the act establishing this bureau, chapter 113, laws
of 1887, it is my duty to make recommendations that are cal-culated
to promote the efficiency of the Bureau. On account of
that clause I would respectfully recommend that the salary of
both the Commissioner and that of his Chief Clerk be increased so
that the very best talent can be obtained for this work, and that
the appropriation be made $5,000.00 per annum to collect and col-late
the figures and facts necessary to the making of an accurate
report.* I would also recommend that a law be passed restricting
the mill-Tin the State to an eleven-hour day ; also that no children
be allowed to work in any factory until they reach the age of
twelve years, and those children between the ages of twelve and
fourteen only allowed in factories when they have a certificate
showing that they have been to school at least twelve weeks dur-ing
the year, and that the Commissioner of Labor be empowered
to see that these laws are enforced. I do not think we need any
law to compel questions to be answered, as the mill owners are
open to argument and are answering remarkably well when an
agent waits on them ; and I am glad to say that there are only
two or three that need such a law.
It is almost impossible to get blanks answered through the mail,
therefore, I again sent an agent to the cotton mills, and he was
very often met by the remark, "we have no time to fill your blank,
come again, 1
' or "we will fill it and send by mail, we are too busy
Introduction.
now;" some said "we have answered by mail;" but the blanks
somehow were lost in the mail, they never arrived at this office.
The letter from one agent, Mr. Womble, appears in another
place, and shows the mills in the light that an outsider views their
treatment of employees. It is over his own signature.
We do not desire, nor will we array one class against another, '
but these people bring stringent laws on themselves. The same
trouble has been experienced with the tobacco men, only worse.
Last year the tobacco men complained that our blanks did not
suit their business, and thought if I had a set of questions prepared
especially for their line of labor I would have no trouble. We got
out blank No. 4, but were doomed to disappointment, as only five
per cent, answered, some few answered very fully, showing that
some are not ashamed or afraid to show how they are treating their
fellowman, and had nothing to hide. To those who have
taken the trouble to answer, I desire to return my thanks, and
to those who have not, say—that if you get the Massachusetts or
New York law compelling you to answer, you have nobody but
yourselves to blame. -J
The tables are especially valuable for their accuracy. They have
been very carefully compiled, and if they show an incorrect result
it is due to the answers on the blanks, and not from any mistake
on our part. The Agricultural tables show some things that will be
doubted, such as the wages of farm labor being $8.75, when the
general impression is that it is not over $7.50, but we do not make
the figures, only tabulate them as they are returned on our blanks.
We have given figures and facts as they are given to us, without
any coloring or bias of our own.
Very respectfully,
B. E. LACY,
Commissioner
CHAPTER I.
COTTON AND WOOLEN FACTORIES.
This chapter has been very carefully compiled, and the figures
are as they have been furnished on the blanks, and are substan-tially
correct. Mr. Womble, our agent, visited almost all the mills
in the State, and as a general thing was courteously received. He
especially complimented the following three: "Virginia," Swepson-ville;
Odell Manufacturing Company, Concord, and Cleveland
Mills, Nos. 1 and 2, Lawnview. On his visit to Swepsonville he
was given every facility to find out everything concerning the
labor, or rather, anything he desired to know; his opportunities
to investigate into the religious, moral and educational standing
and condition of operatives could not be surpassed. Mr. Baker,
the owner, has the very best interests of those working for him
at heart.
Mr. Lonnie E. Cates, son of Esquire H. M. Cates, who resides
about a half mile from Swepwsonville, and who has never attended
any other school, but the one at Swepsonville, is thoroughly
grounded in the rudimentary branches, is conversant with three
or four different languages and is a proficient stenographer. He
recently attended one of Mr. Tom Dixon's lectures and in spite
of the rapid oratorical delivery of this most gifted man, he took
his lecture down verbatim, and same was published in the Bur-lington
News
The Odell Manufacturing Company, of Concord, N. C, and
Cleveland Mills, of Cleveland county, N. C, are other concerns,
which pay particular attention to the moral, religious and secular
condition of their operatives. They try in every way to elevate
them. This plan, if embodied in the management of every mill,
and carried out, would result in the greatest benefit to both the
employer and employee. It is the very essence of perfection to
Cotton and Woolen Factories.
not let the operatives think that you are endeavoring to assist
them in a eleemosynary sense, but that you are simply following
out the precepts of the Scripture "to do as you would be done by."
When a conscientious Christian gentleman undertakes to run a
cotton mill, his employees soon ascertain that the mill is not run on
a profit basis alone, and greatly appreciate this fact; the result is a
very marked improvement in the condition of the employees both
as regards morals and religious conditions and last, but not least,
contentment, as the Scriptures say "Godliness with contentment,
is great gain." His letter gives a very clear idea of this branch of
labor. I There are 156 cotton and woolen mills in active operation
in the state, and 11 in course of construction. The above number
of mills show that there are 913,458 spindles, and 21,858 looms;
this is a very good showing when you consider the fact that in 1870
there were only 30,000 spindles in the entire State.
By consulting the following tables you will find there are 15,752
persons employed in the mills, and the amount of capital employed
to be about $15,000,000, or about nine hundred and fifty-two and
one-third dollars invested to each employee—of these there are
4,888 men, 6,175 women and 4,689 children, of which 1,558 are
under the 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 produced 79,473,949 pounds ot yarn; thirteen counties have
produced 87,742,-655 yards of domestics ; six counties have pro-duced
51,737,547 yards of plaids; two counties— Forsyth and
Cabarrus—have produced 18,424,200 yards of woolen goods—For-syth
leading with 18,000,000 yards alone. This is a decided
improvement on last year's report, the bracketing mills and using
tracing numbers, makes the table easier to study and understand.
I desire to call special attention to the very courteous letters fol-lowing
these tables. They were written by practical men of expe-
Cotton and Woolen Factories.
rience, and deserve special notice. Following will be found circu-lar-
letter No. 1, sent in quest of the following information: Ques-tions
will be found in the heading of each table:
[Circular-letter.]
State of North Carolina, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Raleigh, November 1, 1895.
Dear Sir :—In collecting material for the Ninth Report of this Bureau, I
desire such information in reference to the condition of the laboring classes
in North Carolina as is sought to be elicited by the questions contained in
the enclosed blank, and 1 beg of you not to throw this blank aside because
you answered very much the same questions last year, but on the contrary;
answer just as accurately as possible, so that the condition of the laborer
in the State may be truthfully stated.
The duties of the Commissioner of Labor as prescribed by the laws of our
State are to collect information upon the subject of labor, its relation to cap-ital,
hours of labor, etc. You are aware of the fact that labor and capital
are very closely united, and whatever is best for one is also best for the
other. They must advance together, or together fall into adversity.
The law requires me to ascertain the moral, mental and financial condi-tion
of the laborer, both male and female. The best remedy for removing
the evils that may exist in retarding their progress in everyway, and I
earnestly desire your co-operation.
Should this circular fall into the hands of employer or laborer, I shall be
grateful to either for replies carefully made and forwarded to me in the
enclosed pre-paid envelope. Facts I am after; these teach lessons found in
nothing else, and in aiding me in this important work you will do me a
personal kindness and the State a valuable service.
It is not the intention of this Bureau to publish statistics in regard to
the business of individuals, and positively nothing of a private nature will
be made public, and I trust you will recognize in the coming report of this
Bureau, that it is a vehicle for the expression of views upon economic
questions and affairs of State. Open to all, and closed to none.
Assuring you of my earnest desire to serve the best interest of all and to
promote harmony and good will between employer and employee, I beg
to be, Respectfully,
B. R. LACY,
Commissioner.

LETTER FROM THE BUREAU'S AGENT.
Raleigh, N. C, November 15, 1895.
Mr. B. R. Lacy, Commissioner Labor, Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir :—According to your instructions, I herewith submit this
account of my visit to the mills in North Carolina. This experiment proves
beyond contradiction that the means to procure the data required is by
agents. When blanks were sent exclusively through the mails, which has
been the prevailing custom prior to this year, only about fifteen per cent,
of them were answered and returned. As I have visited every mill in oper-ation
in the State this year and obtained a report from them all, this, in
itself, proves conclusively that by agents—and agents alone—can the infor-mation
desired be obtained.
My trip, taking all into consideration, to say the least, was a pleasant
one, owing, to a great extent, to the kind and courteous treatment received
at the hands of the majority of mill men. In many cases I wa

INTRODUCTION.
Raleigh, N. C., November 30th, 1895.
To His Excellency, Elias Ca.br,
Governor of North Carolina,
Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir -.—Pursuant to law, I herewith submit this the Ninth
Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It gives me pleas-ure
to say that this is a decided improvement on the last. I cannot
give too much credit to my Chief Clerk, Mr. L. D. Terrell, who,
by efficiency and faithfulness combined with the knowledge he
acquired while in the employment of the Government in Wash-ington,
has proven himself to be the "right man in the right place."
There is no doubt that this bureau is doing a great deal of good
in a quiet way, and as it is becoming better known and its objects
understood, it is meeting with the endorsement of both capital and
labor. It is true there are some who cannot see the good of any-thing
that does not put money in their pockets, and others whose
only criterion is a dollar, and judge everything from that hard,
cold standard. Yet, I am glad to say, the large majority of our
people, both rich and poor, judge a man by his character alone,
and welcome any means that will tend to make our people broader
and better, and this work, if properly prosecuted, will do a great
deal toward broadening and educating them to understand that
the State has rights that even wealth has to respect, and making
the poor man feel that he possesses some part of the government,
which is the only way to make him a good citizen. To the super-
C£ ficial observer there may seem to be a conflict of statements
V) between this report, as to the number of cotton mills in the State,
^. and that of the very efficient Agricultural Department, but if
JJ examined it will be seen that we agree. We report only one hun-
iv Introduction.
dred and fifty-six mills in operation while that department reports
one hundred and seventy-six. There are at least six mills that
answer onr blanks as one, though numbered one, two and some-times
three, and have in some instances different directors and
stock-holders, for example: The Oneida Mills appear in the
August Bulletin of the Agricultural Department as Nos. 1, 2 and
3, while our blanks are filled out as if there was only one mill.
I desire to call your special attention to "Notes of interest that
have happened among the cotton mills of North Carolina during
the season of 1895." These notes were gathered by Mr. Terrell,
within a short time. during the season, and show very clearly that
we are progressing rapidly in this particular industry.
According to the act establishing this bureau, chapter 113, laws
of 1887, it is my duty to make recommendations that are cal-culated
to promote the efficiency of the Bureau. On account of
that clause I would respectfully recommend that the salary of
both the Commissioner and that of his Chief Clerk be increased so
that the very best talent can be obtained for this work, and that
the appropriation be made $5,000.00 per annum to collect and col-late
the figures and facts necessary to the making of an accurate
report.* I would also recommend that a law be passed restricting
the mill-Tin the State to an eleven-hour day ; also that no children
be allowed to work in any factory until they reach the age of
twelve years, and those children between the ages of twelve and
fourteen only allowed in factories when they have a certificate
showing that they have been to school at least twelve weeks dur-ing
the year, and that the Commissioner of Labor be empowered
to see that these laws are enforced. I do not think we need any
law to compel questions to be answered, as the mill owners are
open to argument and are answering remarkably well when an
agent waits on them ; and I am glad to say that there are only
two or three that need such a law.
It is almost impossible to get blanks answered through the mail,
therefore, I again sent an agent to the cotton mills, and he was
very often met by the remark, "we have no time to fill your blank,
come again, 1
' or "we will fill it and send by mail, we are too busy
Introduction.
now;" some said "we have answered by mail;" but the blanks
somehow were lost in the mail, they never arrived at this office.
The letter from one agent, Mr. Womble, appears in another
place, and shows the mills in the light that an outsider views their
treatment of employees. It is over his own signature.
We do not desire, nor will we array one class against another, '
but these people bring stringent laws on themselves. The same
trouble has been experienced with the tobacco men, only worse.
Last year the tobacco men complained that our blanks did not
suit their business, and thought if I had a set of questions prepared
especially for their line of labor I would have no trouble. We got
out blank No. 4, but were doomed to disappointment, as only five
per cent, answered, some few answered very fully, showing that
some are not ashamed or afraid to show how they are treating their
fellowman, and had nothing to hide. To those who have
taken the trouble to answer, I desire to return my thanks, and
to those who have not, say—that if you get the Massachusetts or
New York law compelling you to answer, you have nobody but
yourselves to blame. -J
The tables are especially valuable for their accuracy. They have
been very carefully compiled, and if they show an incorrect result
it is due to the answers on the blanks, and not from any mistake
on our part. The Agricultural tables show some things that will be
doubted, such as the wages of farm labor being $8.75, when the
general impression is that it is not over $7.50, but we do not make
the figures, only tabulate them as they are returned on our blanks.
We have given figures and facts as they are given to us, without
any coloring or bias of our own.
Very respectfully,
B. E. LACY,
Commissioner
CHAPTER I.
COTTON AND WOOLEN FACTORIES.
This chapter has been very carefully compiled, and the figures
are as they have been furnished on the blanks, and are substan-tially
correct. Mr. Womble, our agent, visited almost all the mills
in the State, and as a general thing was courteously received. He
especially complimented the following three: "Virginia," Swepson-ville;
Odell Manufacturing Company, Concord, and Cleveland
Mills, Nos. 1 and 2, Lawnview. On his visit to Swepsonville he
was given every facility to find out everything concerning the
labor, or rather, anything he desired to know; his opportunities
to investigate into the religious, moral and educational standing
and condition of operatives could not be surpassed. Mr. Baker,
the owner, has the very best interests of those working for him
at heart.
Mr. Lonnie E. Cates, son of Esquire H. M. Cates, who resides
about a half mile from Swepwsonville, and who has never attended
any other school, but the one at Swepsonville, is thoroughly
grounded in the rudimentary branches, is conversant with three
or four different languages and is a proficient stenographer. He
recently attended one of Mr. Tom Dixon's lectures and in spite
of the rapid oratorical delivery of this most gifted man, he took
his lecture down verbatim, and same was published in the Bur-lington
News
The Odell Manufacturing Company, of Concord, N. C, and
Cleveland Mills, of Cleveland county, N. C, are other concerns,
which pay particular attention to the moral, religious and secular
condition of their operatives. They try in every way to elevate
them. This plan, if embodied in the management of every mill,
and carried out, would result in the greatest benefit to both the
employer and employee. It is the very essence of perfection to
Cotton and Woolen Factories.
not let the operatives think that you are endeavoring to assist
them in a eleemosynary sense, but that you are simply following
out the precepts of the Scripture "to do as you would be done by."
When a conscientious Christian gentleman undertakes to run a
cotton mill, his employees soon ascertain that the mill is not run on
a profit basis alone, and greatly appreciate this fact; the result is a
very marked improvement in the condition of the employees both
as regards morals and religious conditions and last, but not least,
contentment, as the Scriptures say "Godliness with contentment,
is great gain." His letter gives a very clear idea of this branch of
labor. I There are 156 cotton and woolen mills in active operation
in the state, and 11 in course of construction. The above number
of mills show that there are 913,458 spindles, and 21,858 looms;
this is a very good showing when you consider the fact that in 1870
there were only 30,000 spindles in the entire State.
By consulting the following tables you will find there are 15,752
persons employed in the mills, and the amount of capital employed
to be about $15,000,000, or about nine hundred and fifty-two and
one-third dollars invested to each employee—of these there are
4,888 men, 6,175 women and 4,689 children, of which 1,558 are
under the 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 produced 79,473,949 pounds ot yarn; thirteen counties have
produced 87,742,-655 yards of domestics ; six counties have pro-duced
51,737,547 yards of plaids; two counties— Forsyth and
Cabarrus—have produced 18,424,200 yards of woolen goods—For-syth
leading with 18,000,000 yards alone. This is a decided
improvement on last year's report, the bracketing mills and using
tracing numbers, makes the table easier to study and understand.
I desire to call special attention to the very courteous letters fol-lowing
these tables. They were written by practical men of expe-
Cotton and Woolen Factories.
rience, and deserve special notice. Following will be found circu-lar-
letter No. 1, sent in quest of the following information: Ques-tions
will be found in the heading of each table:
[Circular-letter.]
State of North Carolina, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Raleigh, November 1, 1895.
Dear Sir :—In collecting material for the Ninth Report of this Bureau, I
desire such information in reference to the condition of the laboring classes
in North Carolina as is sought to be elicited by the questions contained in
the enclosed blank, and 1 beg of you not to throw this blank aside because
you answered very much the same questions last year, but on the contrary;
answer just as accurately as possible, so that the condition of the laborer
in the State may be truthfully stated.
The duties of the Commissioner of Labor as prescribed by the laws of our
State are to collect information upon the subject of labor, its relation to cap-ital,
hours of labor, etc. You are aware of the fact that labor and capital
are very closely united, and whatever is best for one is also best for the
other. They must advance together, or together fall into adversity.
The law requires me to ascertain the moral, mental and financial condi-tion
of the laborer, both male and female. The best remedy for removing
the evils that may exist in retarding their progress in everyway, and I
earnestly desire your co-operation.
Should this circular fall into the hands of employer or laborer, I shall be
grateful to either for replies carefully made and forwarded to me in the
enclosed pre-paid envelope. Facts I am after; these teach lessons found in
nothing else, and in aiding me in this important work you will do me a
personal kindness and the State a valuable service.
It is not the intention of this Bureau to publish statistics in regard to
the business of individuals, and positively nothing of a private nature will
be made public, and I trust you will recognize in the coming report of this
Bureau, that it is a vehicle for the expression of views upon economic
questions and affairs of State. Open to all, and closed to none.
Assuring you of my earnest desire to serve the best interest of all and to
promote harmony and good will between employer and employee, I beg
to be, Respectfully,
B. R. LACY,
Commissioner.
