The old adage. truth is mighty and
will prevail" was never more truthtully
and iorcibly exemplified than in it appl-
cation 20 this grand enterprise. The OPP
position which met its originators at ev-
cry point we will not attempt to describe.
To certain extent il was natural and to
be expected in a community where out
Of the few enterprises which had started
30 few hal succeeded. But the time has
now arrived when the Southern oil Com
pany stands before the community an es-
tablished success. Sustained alone by the
merit Il possesses. asking no concessions.

and enviable reputation in their respect

to the same effect. and have already or

We have not the space this morning to
more than state the facts for the digestion
Of the public. Successful enterprises are
of so rare occurrence I'm the South, that
every individual, whether a stakeholder
or not, is interested in them. None but
| the narrOw-minded and short-sighted will
feel regret at the success Of the develop
ment Of the resources Of the South, or Of
Southern manufacturing interests. IL Is
a mistaken notion some people entertain
that. because they are not directly inter
ested in company "a stockholders, they
have nothing at stake in its success OF
failure. We argue. and could, if we had
time, demonstrate to the contrary.
Nothing that tends to the development
Of our resources, or TO our Importance a,
Manufacturers, but benefits every indi
vidual who lives in the South. Let thii
be borne in mind for it may have an i'm
portant influence and bearing on our fu
ture, and If properly weighed and acted
upon, may lead to results far beyond the
expectations Of the most sanguine Rdvo
cate Of Southern enterprises.-M o. Bud
