The above Is hut one Of innumcra.

this comparatively new invention.
Now that the manufacturing spirit
Of the South has attracted the at.
tention and taken a firm hold upon
the public mind; inasmuch % Il IL
shown by the recent census and sta.
tistics that manufactures have IN.
creased I'D per cent South. against
30 per cent North. In the past ten
years. there II every reason to believe
and hope that these well.springs Of
Industry and prosperity will develop
more rapidly until the Southern
States. where the raw material Is
produced. will eventually become the
rivals, not only OF the Northern fac.
tories, but also OF the world. BY
mesns Of the Clement Attachment

thread ready for use In the looms. for
making Il into cotton cloth. There
is no question that II could be fur.

than 1t the present prices. The costs

would be avoided. The planters
would be able to cell the cotton In
the seed. at remunerative prices, thus
obviating the necessity Of ginning.
battling and ties. Just think OF Ill
No more Of this expt nse. trouble and
labor, but when the cotton Is picked,
II is ready for sale.
The establishment Of factories upon
the Clement Attachment plan. would
sound the death.knell OF the North
cru manufacturing districts; 1t would
increase ten fold, the wealth and In.
dus.ry Of the South; It would add to
the population and prosperity OF
every town where established, as has
already been clearly demo strated 10
Mississippi. Texas. Alabama. Geor.
gia and other Southern States.
Will not our capitalists make an
effort to build up such enterprises,
not only 10 this parish, but through.
out the State? It will pay Q better
per cent interest than precarious
loans founded on mortgages; It. will
afford Q safer and more profitable re.
