But desire TO call your attention TO aa-
other statement made by the same writer
in the same article, IL 10 this, "neyer be-
fore was tho door Of enterprise, half so
wide open, as II Is now in the South, aud
IL our men Of intelligence avail themselves
Of the opportunity Of manning these en-
terprises, they will continue as heretofore,
masters OF the situation. IL not, the ire
pressible Yankee will be In every hole and
corner, ready TO I'LL every opening avenue,
and will become the magnales Of the land,
and We occupy places Of humiliation aud
subordinatiOn."
IL is melancholy 10 believe that the lack
of intelligent enterprise is SO great In the
South that we will, for the most part, DO in
subordination TO the superior Intelligence
and enterprise Of the Yankee. Within n
few weeks the agent OF large wagon and
agricultural implement mandatory was
in our midst, prospecting for location for
a branch of the establishment either her G
or near Lancaster, while within only da y
or two, another was here, DESTROYS Of put
ting in his capital in association with 9th =
ers TO establish q similar enterprise here.
For one, wish them success. Our coun
try can never be prosperous uI Ill We man
ufacture at least all the primo articles Of
necessity in our midst, and If our own peo-
pie lack a sufficient degree of intelligenc c
or energy, or both, then | repeat that We
should subside into our position Of inferi-
GRITTY rs quietly and gracefully rs possible.
There is an elementary difference in fa.
Ior Of yankee character-it is this, if you
III him in favor Of his taking stock
in a given ENTERPRISE, he asks himself or
you will it pay-yva give him hees'ima,es
Of the costs, and then Of the pro@'s' ana II
you convince him that it will pay, he rs
ready at once to back up his faith to the
extent of his means. lie is ready to risk
his money upon the conviction Of the testi-
mony lie is man of faith, and above all
will work like q beaver to accomplish tho
object of his faith. But suppose you go to
q southern man with the same estimates
he looks it over, and he tells you that he
does not doubt that it will pay, but you
must excuse him from putting in dollar.
lie will tell you that it is just what the
country requires and that he would like the
best in the world to see such things in ope-
ration. Such man is mere sham, mere
dreamer, only fit and destined to carry q
rock in one end of his bag and pumpkin
in the other, for the sufficient reason that
his father done so before him. Such men,
lacking this element of faith, never have
and never will accomplish much good, and
certainly nothing great.
shall now proceed to give you an esti-
mate for factory of 100 spindles and 9TH
Ell requisite machinery, with the profit

would recommend say 400 cotton spindles,
aud 345 wooden, and l6 looms. This would
turn off say 4 to 500 yards cotton and wool
en- fabrics per day, besides making so or
so lbs. of cotton thread.
The cost for the 400 spindles with all
necessary machinery to make cotton fab
RIGS would be $1,000. The wooden, say two
single brakers, two finishers with condens-
ers, two jacks, 1870 spindles each and eight
looms, $4,000.
