Southern Manufactures,

1t delights us always to chronicle anything respect
ing successful Southern manufacturing enterprise
tor We know as everybody else ought to know, that
the commercial and sectional independence Of the
South can never be secured except through the aid
OF manufactures and kindred industrial pursuits We
nnst learn to live within ourselves before we can hope
for enfranchisement from the dependence upon others,
that now hampers every muscle and nerve of our body
polite.
We are glad to see they are moving in the good
cause in Mississippi week or 50 ago we alluded to
the erection Of cotton factory in Jackson, and said
if it managed prudently and skil1lly, it would
certainly yield rnunifcent profits upon the invest
nents made.
The following, clipped from the Raymond (Niss)
Gazette Of the 10th inst, demonstrates what energy
and skill will do in the South even under the pressure
of unpronising circumstances a
MANUFACTURE OF KERsEY GOoDs.-At the town
Of Bankston Choctaw county in this State a cotton
factory was established few years ago. which, owing
to improper management and want of good operatives
instead of yielding profit, did not for several years
even pay expenses Under these discouraging crcun-
stances, the company effected arrangement with an
experienced business firm who took the directing man
agement Of the concern. In addition to osnabnrgs,
they induced the company to manufacture ker5ey
goods Since that time the business has rapidly I'M
proved the goods have obtained excellent reputa-
to, and the herseys particularly, are acknowledged
to be superior to any thing Of the kind ever sold in
the South The demand now is greater than the sup
ply and the profits may be estimated by the result OF
| last years business, which showed net profit of
s--o9o. !hIs, from capital Of $50, ,00O which we
have been informed is the sum invested amounts to
| a gain OF over 36 per cent. With such an example
before US is it not surprising that the South have so
long depended on the north for inferior article Of
negro clothing?
