A July 1895 magazine article by Edward Porritt on the rapid growth of cotton manufacturing in Georgia and the Carolinas and its effect on New England mills. It sets out the arguments given to a Massachusetts legislative committee by trade unionists and by the Arkwright Club, then describes mills and mill villages at Spartanburg, the Pacolet River, Columbia and Augusta, with wages, spindle and loom counts, labor laws, housing and water power. It ends by comparing the Massachusetts-South relationship with that of Lancashire and India. Illustrated with photographs of cotton growing, picking, gin houses and mill buildings.
