MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH

TlANUFA(l UkES TN lie SOOiTI.
Congressman Sayers, of Texas, a
lifelong Democrat who has always
supported the low tariff doctrines and
measures of his party, evidently re-
cognizes the growing protective senti-
ment among Democrats, and especially
its rapid growth in the South. In a
recent statement announcing his can
didacy for the Democratic nomination
for governor OF Texas, published in
the Dallas News of Nov ~, he said;
II am earnestly of the opinion that
the people should countenance and
support any reasonable and proper
policy that would tend to secure the
construction and operation of all kinds
of industrial and manufacturing es-
adjustments within the State. Pres
ent conditions ;mperatively demand
it.
''In the other Southern States,
notably in Tennessee, Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina, very
many manufacturing enterprises have
been successfully inaugurated and
profitably conducted, converting the
raw material into the finished product
and furnishing remunerative employ
ment to labor IN many forms. The
policy of our people, it occurs to me,
should be to export the manufactured
article rather than the raw material.
Such a policy would open up and
multiply the opportunities for our own
citizens to find profitable employment
and would obviate the necessity Of
annually paying many millions Of
dollars to other communities for what
we must have.
However large the aggregate Of
our productions in point Of quantity,
our people can not and will not be
prosperous if labor can not find con-
slant and remunerative employment
and if the money realized from the
sale of such productions is altogether
expended in purchasing from other
communities such articles of wear and
use as might be proftably manufac-
tured within our own borders. In
Georgia there were in 1880 employed
in the manufacturing establishments
"a, 875 persons. In 1890 the number
had increased to SS,38s.

CROSSING THE DELAWARE.

And so you'd have me tell the tale
My father oft told mel
A story Of the days when pale
Hope fled, and misery
Stood stark and grim before that band
OF men beyond compare
The tale Of Washington the grand,
Who crossed the Delaware
One Christmas night, long years ago,
When shrilly cold winds blew,
And through the darkened air the snow
On frozen pinions flew,
a little band of patriot souls
Stood brave and fearless where
In iciness and anger rolls
The fretful Delaware
Nor ice, nor storm, nor cruel blast
Can hold these heroes back;
They have resolved; the die is cast
For freedoms causel A track
OF blood upon the snow they've left
From shoeless feet and bare;
OF all life's comforts they're bereft,
Beside the Delaware.
"But Onward Onward" is the word
Their brave commander speaks.
When thro' the storm his voice is heard
Each son of freedom seeks
To do his bidding; put aside
Is every woe and care
There's yict'ry DER the icy tide,
Across the Delaware.
On through the gloomy, stormy night
| With hardships dire they cope
IF or God, and native land, and right,
Their watchword and their hope;
Until at last, all cold and dark,
They greet the morning glare;
Safe thro' the tide they've reached the
bank
| Across the Delaware
And then nine miles beyond they go,
With steady, solemn tread,
To where the hated Hessian foe
Sleep in their drunken bed.
Aroused from designations doze
In wild surprise they stare,
And conquered, give their swords tc
| those
Who crossed the Delaware.
This, children, is the story true
OF noble, fearless men;
And may its lesson be to you
A guide and solace when
Storms hover near, my brave grandson,
And you, granddaughter fair
Press onward, till the vict'ry's won
Across life's Delaware.

A Safe Prediction.

Morgan Messenger.
As Mr., Dayton is said to not desire
the nomination for Congress again,
the people are looking around for a
good, strong, reliable man for this re-
sponsible position---one who will be
able to win against any candidate the
enemy may bring forth. We find in
the busy hustling city of Martinsburg
man who is in every way fitted for
this position. He is the Hon. u. S.
9 Pitzer. now States attorney Of our
neighboring county OF Berkeley. And.
suggesting his name as candidate,
we are reminded that several years
ago we predicted that Mr.. Pitzer
would some day occupy seat in Con-
gress, and 1t may be possible that the
time is not far distant when our pre-
diction will come true.

The wage account ran from S.
266,Iaa in 1850 to over ST., 900, 600 in
1890, and the value Of the product
was increased from S36, 900, 900 to
over sos, 600. 900. And notwithstand-
ing the severe and continued financial
depression since then, an increase in
the number Of establishments, in the
wage account, and in the value Of
products has steadily gone on. In
South Carolina during the last six
months the number of spindles has
increased from 500. 900 to /. 500, 900,
while many mills OF the east have
been compelled to shut down on ac.
count of the depression in such prod
ucts. In North Carolina there are zoo
cotton mills. operating 1910. 247
spindles, 24.6ar looms, and I,4ro
knitting machines. They employ
about 40. 600 hands. and consume
practically the entire cotton crop of
that State.
II have gathered these facts from
official sources, borrowing the Ian
guage used. When is it recalled that
these states were the battle-ground be-
tween the contending forces in the
late war, and that they emerged from
that great conflict in an exhausted
and desolate condition, their progress
has been indeed wonderful. Texas is
greatly superior to any of the States
named in extent Of area, in fertility
of soil, in variety of resources. and in
situation yet she lags behind them
all in manufacturing pursuits. In the
matter OF wooden mills Georgia has
five, Kentucky eighteen, North Caro-
lima thirteen, Tennessee twenty FIVE,
and Virginia twenty-four, yet Texas,
with largely more sheep than all COM
bined, has only one.
tThe hides, horns, and hoofs OF all
cattle slaughtered in our state as we'll
as our cotton, wool, timber, iron, clay,
and other natural products should be
converted into articles OF manufacture
by our own people and within our
own borders. thereby enhancing the
va re of the raw material and creating
a large and constant demand for the
produce OF field or garden. | can not
think that there is any country where
the conditions for successful manufac-
turing enterprises are so inviting, and
where they would be as profitable and
beneficial to all classes OF society as in
Texas. When we consider the present
cost of sending the raw material to
other States and countries for CONVEX
sion into the finished product and of
returning that product to ourselves
for consumption, the drain upon our
resources is frightful to contemplate
to say nothing of the loss to the state
in the employment of its own citizens
in manufacturing pursuits and to the
farmer in the price of his farm and
garden products.
