Land of Cotton Mills Expands Across the South
Special correspondence notes rapid growth of cotton mills in southern states. Mills use modern machinery, lower costs, and cheaper fuel, attracting investment from northern firms. Compared with the North, southern workers earn less and toil longer, but plants enjoy favorable climate, land, and abundant raw materials. White labor dominates, with mills seen as profitable and expanding through 1890s investments.
