A 1909 article by Thomas F. Parker, president of the Monoghan Mills in Greenville, defending the South Carolina cotton mill industry from a manufacturer's point of view. It traces the growth of the mills from 1876 to 1908 and describes the rural poverty from which operatives came. It also covers wages, hours, night and child labor, mill village conditions, health, and factory legislation, and argues that the mills benefited workers and the state. It is a social and economic account, not a technical one on cloth or weaving.
