might ours.
We now have in the southern states
in operation or in course OF erection, 19l
cotton factories. This outnumbers by
~ all the cotton factories in New Eng
land, outside of Massachusetts,, and ex-
ceeds by 16 the number in that state,
The figures speak for themselves, and
give an outline of what the south is'do-
ing in the way of becoming her own
producer, manufacturer and consumer.
The race goes on all around US.
Cotton factories are now the hope OF
the south. Communities see in them
an outlet from despair brought about by
ruinous systems OF agriculture and
trade. The people of the South, OPEN
ing their eyes to the f1ct that they have
been enriching PARKWAY sections by be-
ing consumers, when they might have
been enriched by being producers-are
resolved to change their methods, with
hope of better results.-[Cedartown
