Cnttnn Mills In the SD.

The spread of cotton manufactur-
ing industries in the South is one Of
the most gratifying indications Of
the times. The establishment Of
cotton mills all ever the South
would add immense valuation TO the
raw material. This would be re
tanned in the country and distribu-
ted among operatives and lsboreTs
Of all classes; who are required in
and about manufactures. These
would in turn distribute it in pur-
chases and thus create g widespread
prosperity. The condition Of the
South, as respects the employment
of capital and labor, is to be ON an
entirely different basis in the future.
In the days OF slavery capital was
invested in large plantations and
slaves to carry them on. There was
little money to spare for the erection
of manufactOries, and, il there had
been, there was an iRsurmOuntable
obstacle in the way Of entering
largely into manufactures. Il was
the conflict between slave labor ami
free labor. Slave labor was mskill-
ed, and under slavery was incapable
of attaining any high degree of ex-
cellenee; free labor would not work,
and so the South was confined main
w ia the production of the raw ma
terial. Now, however, the condi
tions are changed; the old planta.
tiOn system has passed away, and
free labor maps OuT a new order Of
things. There will be, more OF less,
division OF plantations. There
will be q more productive system OF
cotton culture, more bOuntiful crops,
and larger cash returns for them.-
1t is not too much TO say that the
accumulated capital will be literally
invested in manufacturing enterpFis-
es, chief OF which will be cotton
mills. A tide Of immigration 20 the
South and the natural increase OF
population will furnish an abund-
ance OF labor, not only for pIanta-
tiOns but for mills. Now, the arts OF
reproduction are in q rHdirnentary
state; but with that spirit Of enter
prise which accompanies free labor
higher degrees Of skill viii be grad
nally introduced, and obers viii
come q time when the dhest fabrics
viii be introduced Ia the midst Of
the plantations where cotton Is
grown. The trne interest of the
South lies in the encouragement Of
manufactures that she may retain
within her own hands thu profits up
on the production Of the raw mate
rial, and upon the manufactured
goods. and that she may also save
the frelghts that are nov lost Tor
want sf skilled labor within her
own bordeFs.--SAiPPiHg Lisf.
