business, and could easily compete
with Germany and France in supply
ing tho demands of northern markets
now met by importations from Eu-
rope. But the cotton crop in the low
country affords the grand prize for
good culture. The present low pro-
duct of 200 pounds per acre could be
increased five fold by careful culture
with proportionatc profit, and the
wide-spreading low coutry affords q
magnificent market for products, pork,
beef, mutton, fruit and other produce
Of the elevated mountain country. In
addition to all these there are the val

of timber, bark and other natural pro-
ducts which require development by

marked attention, remaining with them
even after the hour appointed for a
