Great Southern Industrial Convention
The convention that is to be held
at Huntsville, Ala. beginning Oct.
10, should surely contain repre-
sentatives from Goldsboro. 1t is
to be a gathering of strong men,
aud the subjects to be discussed
touch the interest of every town in
the South-eyery mans pockel
for that matter. The convention
promises to be memorable event
in the history of Southern indus
tries. The scope in industrial am
bition in this section will be Gov
cred, and every days discussion
will be of deep interest. More ca
pable and efficient and successful
and practical men will gather at
Huntsville in October than have
come together at any previous
time in the South; for the conr
vention has grown from modest
beginning to great event OF
promise to all this section of the
country.
The great theme at Huntsville
will be the upbuilding of the
South, and this theme will be con-
sidered in all its branches and
ramifications. The up-building
process will be outlined by prac-
tical men, who know how to do
it-who are in the work, and who
can therefore speak with the
knowledge that springs from ex-
perience.
The Gcldsbcro Chamber of
Commerce should see to it that
Goldsboro is ftly represented in
this great convention.
Goldsboro is capable-more
capable than any town, in cur
knowledge, of growing into the
most populous and prosperous
city in the State; but to do this we
must let our advantages and sue
perior merits be known at their
full worth abroad.
The Words Industrial Activity.
American Manufacturer
Economists, political writers
and theorists few years ago
wrote essays during dull period
to tie effect that the world was
suffering from under consump-
tion, while others held that the
curse of overproduction haunted
the world. Many believed that the
monetary system was to blame,
while politicians argued that free
trade and protection were each to
blame, according to their party
affiliations. There has been no
change in the financial system; the
tariff has not been tampered with;
production has increased out of all
proportions with past progress,
but consumption has outedistanced
it.
All this is brought about during
period of war and rumors of
war. The United States was on
the eve of a boom when the Span
ish war was declared. The strug-
gle in the Philippines has not re-
tarded it any more than the pre-
vious conflict did. England's s
threatened trouble with the Boer
Republic does not retard the rush
of trade in the British isles. The
empire in all it's parts was never
so crowded with evidences of
prosperity. From the Cape of Good
Hope to Alexendria Bay, in AT
rica,s the rush OF commerce is ev-
idenced, India's progress is mar
yelous.. China and japan and the
whole Orient are bending their
energies to keep step with the
procession.
Russia can be credited with
causing much Of the hustle aad
hurry. The development of ST.
IBERIA is remarkable work. It
will insure continuance of at
least two more years of prosper
1ty for the world in the metal ins
dustries. The example set by the
United States to the effect that
to excel in war a nation must als
SO excel in industry and COM
merce, has changed the politi-
cal situation of the world.
