A Bright Outlook in the South.

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record says: Throughout the South
there is a marked revival III industrial
matters and many new enterprises are
being established. A number that
were projected during the boom days
and which collapsed when the panic
came, are being pushed to completion
now, or are being re-organized pre-
paratory to active work again. 1t
will be some time yet, though, before
some of these crippled concerns can
be put on their feet, but the outlook
grows steadily brighter.
Local financial interests have been
strengthened, debts have been paid,
and the South generally has been
putting its business affairs in order
during the past two years. The conf
dence of outside capitalists in the South
as a place for large investments has
been greatly increased by the man
ner in which that section has stood
the financial strain, and northern
money will in the future go into
southern manufacturing enterprises
very freely.

PLANT LESS COTTON,
THE DANGER OF OVERPRO-
DUCTION THIS YFAR.
Senator George, of Mississippi, Gives
His Opinion on the Subject---A Paper
of Paramount Importance to South
ern Farmers.

WASHINGTON, March 2o--The United
States senate in April, 1892, passed a
resolution instructing its committee on
agriculture to make an investigation
with view Of ascertaining the cause
of the depression in agricultural pro-
ducts, existing at that time. Senator
James L. George, OF Mississippi, was
made chairman OF the sub committee
to investigate cotton. Alfred b.
Shepperson was made secretary Of
Senator Georges committee. The
scope Of the investigation is very broad
and covers the matter of cotton pro-
duction and consumption Of every
county, with cost of production, posi-
bilities of the extension Of its culture,
etc. The work OF Senator Georges
committee will be completed by the
next meeting of Congress. On &C
count of the great interest of matter
under consideration to the cotton
planters and people of the South,
have requested Senator James L.
George, of Mississippi, chairman Of
the committee on agriculture, under
the new organization of the senate. to
prepare the following for publication.
Its paramount importance calls for the
widest publicity and justifes its
dissemination by the Southern Asso-
ciated Press newspapers.

The South the Country Of the
Future.
boston Dispatch. J

At hearing before the labor com
mittee of the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, representatives Of the cotton
mills at Chicopee, Fall River, Lowell
and Taunton demonstrated against the
reduction of hours of labor in manu-
featuring companies to fifty-four pei
week, claiming that they can not
stand the competition of mills in other
States and England.
The treasurer of the Massachusetts
Mills, at Lowell, and the Whittentor
Mills, at Taunton, said he was abso
lutely driven from the State and thai
he is going South to build a mill II
order to hold his export trade. HI:
goods, he says, can be made cheaper
in the South on the identical ma
chinery. The South is gaining on th'
North, though he did not believe th'
South would destroy the Northern
business.

other hand, if there shall be such a
general movement in the direction OF
raising smaller crops as to raise the
price then all who contribute 10 il. in
the manner herein indicated, will
ENJOY tins increased price as the result
OF their own wise action, and at the
same time be exempt from expendi-
ture for supplies which they have so
raised. After much reflection upon data
collected from all countries adapted
to raising cotton, | am satisfied of
this painful truth, that we are never,
at least in this generation, to have
generally the high prices for cotton we
once had; cotton will never, but in
exceptional cases, and for a short
period be high enough TO rely upon
1t as means Of purchasing supplies
which can be raised at home.
Very Respectfully,

Curious Changes.
IGreenville News

If the attending physician who
launches new man, destined to ap.
pear more or less above the common
stream of humanity, into that stream
should foresee the course of life of the
arrival he would be afraid to tell it.
No dream of maniac could be wilder
or more grotesque than the changes
and associations and contrasts devel-
oped in the life Of an active and am
bilious man. Who would have be-
lieved it., for instance, if forty-three
years ago somebody had foretold that
"S. G. Cleveland" fat and red faced
boy clerking in McVickar's grocery
store for $50 a year, would live to be
twice elected and once defeated fol
president of the United States? Sup
pose somebody had said ten years age
that Ferdinand De Lesseps would end
his days a pauper convict? Nothing
could appear more improbable or
nearer the impossible. Thirty years
ago there was a Mr.. Herbert, the
shabby colonel of a ragged Confed-
crate regiment which he was fighting
with down in the heat and smoke and
dust and underground of the Wilder
ness, all his thoughts and faculties con-
centrated to aid in the defeat of the
United States army, all his dreams
and hopes based on the overthrow OF
the United States government. Sup
pose the veil of the future had been
lifted for an instant and he caught a
glimpse of himself wearing a high hat
and good clothes, being driven in a
carriage to the gate of the Brooklyn
navy yard and receiving an official
salute of seventeen guns as the head
Of the United States navy? Could
any more violent contrast be imagined
or any development apparently more
impossible be suggested?
Nothing is more interesting or more
useful than study of these changes and
tricks of fate, which we find every
where and all around US. The man
who is in the world can only be con-
vinced by object lessons that he may
get very far down before he is through
and prepare himself with clear con-
science and manly courage to meet
and accept circumstances as they come.
The man who is down and can see no
way up has right before his eyes IL
lustrations of the truth that he may
be very far up and may get there in
unexpected ways before his course is
finished. Warren remarked that his
objection to suicide was that the spirit
as it passed from the body and re-
ceived power to see the future might
meet the good fortune that had been
fastening to it-might learn when
too late that the very moment the
fatal blow was struck some unknown
and unexpected circumstances to re-
move the occasion for it was develop
ing somewhere in the world. In short,
the man who kills himself may be
running away from his own good luck.
Many man who is poor and ragged
and hopeless to-day will be rich and
high in the world ten or twenty years
from now and by means which do
not now enter his thoughts, hopes or
calculations

SPECIAL ENVOY BLOUNT.
He Will Visit Hawaii and Report
to Cleveland.

Ex Congressman James H. Blount,
of Georgia, appointed by President
Cleveland special envoy to visit Hawaii
to investigate and report the condition
of present affairs on the islands, has
sailed from San Francisco for Hon
olulu on the United States revenue
cutter Rush.
1t was the first intention to appoint
three commissions, but the cabinet de-
cided that special envoy would serve
every purpose. Mr.. Blount will remain
at Honolulu several weeks and make
his report from that place. He will
tarry there until recalled by the Pres.
ident and his cabinet.
Mr.. Hlount himself suggested the
appointment by the President of a
commission to visit the islands. He
is accompanied by his wife and Ellis
II. Mills, clerk in the state depart
ment, and at one time private secre
taIy to ex-secretary Bayard. Mr.. Mill:
will act as Mr. Blount's clerk.
Mr.. Blount has occupied conserva
tive position on the subject Of annexa
ton of Hawaii He is creditad with
having a suspicion that the United
States officials might have encouraged
the revolution.
1t is said that the administration
has received information that the over.
throw of Queen Liliuokalani was the
result of plan formulated by the
sugar producing interests of the islands
and. which was furthered in San Fran
cisco. Upon receiving this informa
ton the withdrawal of the treaty and
the appointment o: a commission tc
investigate the situation were deter
mined on.
Mr.. Blount represented the Macon
district of Georgia, where he resides
in ten successive congresses. He wa:
first elected in 1872. He was born IN
Georgia on the 18th Of September
1897, and during the civil war he
fought bravely upon <he losing side. A
Southerner through and through, he is
as patriotically devoted to the restored
Union as to his native State.
A Congressman who knows MIR.
Blount very well has thus described
him:
3. He is as blunt as the pronuncla
ton of his name. He is both broad
shonldered and broad headed, In
looks and disposition there is much
of the bulldog about him. He fights
without fear or favor, and his warmest
personal friends cannot swerve him
from the line of duty. The cavalier
may coax and the Puritan threaten
him, but the brave old dog will bid
defiance to both. Mr.. BIount has
thick gray hair and a smooth shaven
face. His looks indicate true Georgia
grit. His eyes are blue and his face
full and inclined to sallowness. He
speaks deliberately and with a some
what thickened enunciation. He
wears no cuffs and never becomes
thoroughly aroused until he pulls
down his wristbands. He never tries
to adorn his sentences with eloquence,
but his speeches are streaked with the
pure metal.

was the greatest of all our statesmen,

was the greatest of all our statesmen,
even though he did weatherboard his
house on the inside and had the laps
up instead Of down , SO that he could
pour hot water in the cracks and kill
the bedbugs. From his day down to
Zeb Vance the State has not lacked
for notable men, and it is safe to say
that no one man ever lived in a State
who was SO universally esteemed and
admired as Vance is by his people.
No one man was ever such a coat of
arms, such an ensign, such am emblem
of his commonwealth. Vance is North
Carolina and North Carolina is Vance.
This can not be said of any other man
in any other State.
Now, what will Georgia do when
she considers this record? How much
longer can she claim the honor of be-
ing called the Empire State of the
South? We have splendid record
for the past, but what are we doing
now? Here is my own county that
ranks all others in the State in min
eral and agricultural wealth, and yet
there is not cotton or woolen mill in
it, and hardly wheel turning any
kind of machinery. Where are our
cotton factories, save those in Augusta
and Columbus and half dozen more
that make up the list? Are there half
dozen canning factories in the State ?
What is the matter with our people,
especially the farmers, who could put
their moneys together and have a lit
tie cotton mill in every fertile valley
"a mill that would spin their own
cotton into yarn or knit it into hosiery?
Eight or ten thousand dollars would
build such a mill and would give en-
ployment to all the poor children in
the neighborhood. Will we never
wake up and get out Of the old ruts
and learn a lesson from North Caro-
lima? BILL ARP.

farmers brought in good shape, and
only from farmers who would be
regular in supplying certain amount
of stuff at regular intervals. The
farmers would naturally do better each
year. In this way the business could
be made very profitable.
"Even in the way in which | ran it
there could be some money made
when prices were fair, but it is too
harassing in the present condition of
the material markets-especially to a
man with other business to look after.
The goods are ready sale. l sold
goods in St. Louis, Memphis and other
places and they gave entire satistac-
ton. The Salisbury freights were
against me both on the cans coming
in and the goods going out, but even
then there is nothing to prevent max
ing this a fair business if man could
stand the worry with the farmers and
the hands.
81 should think that down in South
Carolina, where fruit and vegetables
can be raised in abundance and the
crop is sure each year, that a very
excellent business could be made that
would develop to very large proper
tions if looked after and pushed.
Provision ought to be made before
hand, though, for good and regular
supply of material to pack, and if it
can be done in no other way man
ought to start truck and fruit farm and
get that in good shape before trying
to do any packing, and then develop
the business by educating the farmers.
Commenced in this way and followed
up with business care, the South could
beat the world on canned vegetables
and fruits.''
