THE CLEMENT ATTACHMENT
So deep au interest has bceu
arouaed iu the State iu reference to
the New Process Cotton Mills that
Mr. J. T. Henderson, Commission ol
Agriculture for Georgia, among
others, lias been to Westminster, 8.
C., and thoroughly examined the
Htribliug Mill. He has writteu the
results to the Atlanta Constitution,
from which we make the following
extracts ;
"I visited a abort time siuoe, the
little factory at Westminster, 8. C.,
iielongiug to J. V. Htribliug. I
found it, indeed, a baby factory,
differing from other cottou mills, to
the eye of a oasual observer, but lit
tle save to the extent of ita machin
ery. Although it was known to the
pci prietor that our party were com
ing, the machinery was silent, owiug
to lhe death of one of the operativta.
It was, perhaps, as well, as it gave
us leisure to examiue the we >lo affair
and to disease it without the bustliug
interference of the machinery. After
taking notes of everything appertain
ing to the mill, [ then iu company
with oue of the party, eudeavored to
verify the statemeut of the Messrs.
Btnbling as to the profits. Iu the
matter of expense 1 could not see
why the whole could not be compris
ed into two heads, viz: 'lnterest on
capital and cost of labor.’ Iu thin,
us iu all other luuds of manufactur
ing, the capital may be classified as
floating and permuneut, the flouting
capital beiug that used iu the pur
chase of stock, and the permanent
that invested iu buildings and fix
tures. Iu the case of a siugle attach
ment, 150,000 pounds of seed cotton
yi Ming 50,000 pounds of lint, worth
$5,000 at ten cents per pound, repre
sents tho floating capital. As this
investment in stock is being returned
throughout the year from the sale of
yarus, it is deemed hilt fair that legal
rates of interest should be allowed
for 6 mouths only. The permaueut
capital or iuvestmeut, I suppose, will
approximate fire thousnud dollars,
and on this I allow 7 per ceut. for the
full period of oue yenr. Tho matter
would then stand about us follows :
liiUrml ou f&.DDO floating capital, ix
month* f 175 ;
lutorvat tin ifivwitiiiwit for twelve
month*. 850 j
loibor of * liacklm lor 800 day* t ft per day 1,200 j
font indent expellee* p.r day #Dc 180 I
Showing m total jet annum of $1,875
The price u( labor and contingent
expenses is a little in excess of those
incurred by Mr. Stribliug.
Now, the gross profit of the mill
is the difference between the amount
paid for the raw and that rece Ted
for the uuu'ifsctnred irtiteriul. Mr.
Stribliug informed mo that he paid • t
the rate of ten cents per pound for
lint cotton and sold yarns at seven
teen cents per pou-d, thus increasing
the value of cotton seven cents per
pound by the process of manufactur
ing. Well, fifty thousand pounds of
lint cotton at seven cents per pound
amounts to 33,500. From this de
duct the amount of excuse as above
given and we have a net profit of
sixteen hundred and twenty-live dol
lars. It will be seeu that ten o- uts
per pound for cotton is tho basis of
my calculation, but the same propor
tion should follow the c' anges which
have occurred in the prices of the raw
material. If lam correct in these
estimates, it seems to me the profits
should lie satisfactory to auy reasona
ble man. Although I have written to
a greater length than I expected
when I began, yet there is one other
point to which I shall iuvite your
attention. Should this little inven
tion prove to be of such utility as to
iuduce its general employment in the
manufacture of Georgia’s staple, the
result to the State will greatly sur
pass anything at first conceived of.
Estimating the cotton crop of Geor
gia at two hundred and fifty millions
of pounds and the annual capacity of
one attachment at fifty thousand
pounds, it would require five thou
sand mills and forty thousand women
and children to operate them. —
Counting the labor at twelve hun
dred dollars to each machine, we see
six millions of dollars would be pro
duced Ly a class of oar people who
are present now—producers, Going
still further, we see that sixteeu hun
dred and twenty-five dollars of net
profits are auuually produced by
each machine to fill the pockets of
the manufacturers and to create to
the State an annual increase in her
wealth of eight millions one hundred
sud twenty-five dollars. Thus we see
that over fourteen millions of dollars
wonld be saved annually to our im
poverished people, whereas we now
quietly permit tuat sum to bo added
nuto him who always hath au abun
dance. ’’
