1T IS COMING.

The future prosperity OF the
South Is assured from a series Of
facts, which Will be evident to any
one Who Will take tie time to in>
vestlgate.
Wherever there is crude materi-
al fer any kind Of manufacturing 10.
du>tries there is the place for the
most successful development of in
du,tTy. Take the manufactured cot
ton alone. 1t takes no prophets
eye to see that necessarily IN few
years the South Will become the
centIe of this s:upendOus industry,
because here I'D the South the raw
material Is found in great abun>
dance. If it pays capitalists to
freight the raw cotton from the
South to New England and manu-
facture 1t where labor and every
other means OF the industry are
high, much more will 1t pay them
to locate their mills and looms II
the South where tho raw cottOI
Can be rolled from the Gin and
cotton press right into the machin-
cry for converting it Into thread
aud cloth.
Never before has there been such
pleasing prospect tor great growth
in the South; and never before have
tue Southern people been SO fully
awa.e to their own interest in this
matter.
Capitalists see already. and soon
will see more plainly still, the kreau
opportunity for investing their
money advantageousDy In the
South, and the day Is not far dis.
tam hen they will act upon their
good judgment. Then our South
land shall flourish even beyond our
most saDgulne expectations.
