MANUFACTUEE5.
The manufacturing resources of thc South
are more abundant than rs known t1 lHe
Northern States. There Is timber enough
of great variety and superior quality 300 thlf
immediate section, to supply large mnu-
featuring interest for an indefinite period.
A number Of our citizens are now proposing
TO organize a company for the manufacture
Of wagons, plow-, and other Implement on
husbandry, and they expect 90 secure, u
possible the cooperation of Northern c1p-
talists and artisans.
In reference 10 the manufacture of cotton
fabrics, the question is asked, "Can wc suc-
cessfuly compete with Northern mauuHc-
turiesg To this a well informed writer
replies: 1--WE can buy cotton here ut two
cents "A pound less than they can. our
mills use the loose cotton purchased from
the presses at two cents less per pound luHu
the cost of the cotton bought for Northern
consumption. During the war New Jersey
became famous for its manufacture joe

forced TO close their doors by the success nl

they could run % mill in the South, Nl
twenty per cent. less cost than Doh New
Jersey. We have also an immense ady8u-
tage in fuel.
But there are other and more attractive
resources within our reach. within fifty
miles east of this place lie iueNhau-ub.a
beds Of iron ore, and thirty miles farther
east are beds of BitumiHous coal, sufficient
to supply the demands of the nest century
From Aberdeen east, there is % projected
railroad in progress of construction which
capital and enterprise would soon complete,
and the route of this railroad d. directly
through the center Of this region of mineral
wealth.
To bring the subject To a practical shape
we would state that there are several parties
who have authorized us 10 dispose ot their
