unti\e|ly Increased the rate of pay per
hour and increased the price of piece
work. When n worker grew too old
for hla dally task, he was placed on
the company's pension list. When
laws were enacted regulating child
labor, the little community scarcely
heeded them, for child labor was prac
tlcally unknown.
That which pleased Mr. Hickman
most waa the fine fibre of the men
and boys who grew (ip in his mjll. The
number of those who acquitted them
selven with credit In later years was a
source of much gratification to him.
Kdgefleld and Aiken counties have
been represented In the state senate
and In the house of represntatlve-s by
men who worked In the mill, while
othe-s have filled many of the local

At least four mill-hands have been
members of tho city council of Augus

pointed consnl to a foreign port; an
other filled the office of mayor of Bes
semer, Ala., for several years and Is
now general Southern agent of one of
tie eldest fire-insurance companies In
the United States. At least eleven
have become successful preachers,
doctor*, or lawyers; and some have
been presidents of banks and cotton
mills, or superintendents of mills.
Many others are found today among
the prosperous merchants of South
Carolina and Georgia.
"ltut the most remarkable fact con
corning this town of nlmost unbeliev

well. "Is that It owns neither a jail

years, and drunkenness and disorder
are practically unknown."
