South to North freight drain eyed in cotton mill argument
The piece argues a $100,000 cotton mill to process 4000 bales would cut deep freight losses by manufacturing locally. It cites Shreveport data showing raw cotton costing $32,656.22 to produce $97,575 in goods, and claims U.S. South loses $440,000,000 yearly by not manufacturing. It highlights growth of mills in North Carolina, Charlotte, and Concord as proof mills build towns.
