SPECIAL to The State.
Clemson College, Feb. 20.-This
correspondent visited thh textile
school this week and secured the
following brief but comprehen.
sive answers to a few questions
on industrial conditions.
Since the south is the cotton
producing section for the world,
why has she not increased her
wealth more rapidly9
One of the principal reasons
why the south has not increased
in wealth, as other sections have,
is that she has been the raw ma.
terial producer of the nation,
while she has every natural ad.
vantage for the manufacture of
her own products. In recent years
she has awakened to a wonderful
degree in the development of her
industries. 1t Is not a spasmodic
boom.of effort but a substantial
movement tow ard the betterment
of this section.
What does the south need most
to keep up this progressive move.
ment?
In order to continue this pro.
gressive movement the south
must have men of original ideas,
men of scientific education. In
the manufacture of cotton fabrics
alone the south is in need of
thousands of young men who
have been specially trained for
this work.
This manufacturing of cotton
is now one of the leading indus
tries Of the south, The manipula.
ton and manufacture of cotton

material and the organizations of
various kinds for the distribute
of such products, furnish employ.
ment for large per cent. of our
population.
Competition brought about by
the rapid increase of textile mill.
Is making 1T necessary for these
manufacturers to employ encreas-
ingly skilled managers and over
seers, preferably with the knowl
edge not only Of the practical care
and operation Of machinery, but
of all the many details of cotton
manufacture conductive to econ.
omy, excellence of workma nship
and the production of more ele
CANT and tasteful designs.
Why should young man in
tending to follow the manufac
turing business enter a textile
school in preference TO going di.
rectly to the mill for his training9
The reasons are obvious. There
are many capable young men
employed in the mills who are
anxious to learn the business,
thus putting themselves in line
of promotion to responsible posi-
tions commanding high compen-
sation. In the mills they are in.
structed in the practical opera
ton of the machinery only, and
do not receive that auxiliary tech
nical training in other details
of manufacturing which is so
necessary to their success as over.

the young man in the mill has
not had that previous technical
foundation upon which to special.
lze In industry. Therefore, he
will likely be narrow In his edu.
cation, lacking in originality of
methods, and his taste for the
aesthetic would be undeveloped.
1t takes the man entering the
mill years to get the same expe-
rience on the variety of makes of
machies and the variety of pro.
ducts that the student gets in the
textile school in two years. Thus
the absolute necessity has arisen
for the establishment of such
schools as will give these persons
that special training of which
they stand in need.
Is there any evidence tending
to prove that industrial training
Will benefit country?
Germany leads all the world in
industrial schools. 1t is believed
by many that theory and prac.
tice are never compatible; but
the Germans, probably the most
progressive and practical nation
of the world, have brought about
some of their most wonderful
results by working a theorist and
a practical man side by side.
About one-half of the requests

many" 1t is we'll known that
analine dyes are obtained from
coal. Although Germany imports
coal from this country, yet, by
reason of her system of industrial
training, she exports to US large
quantities of dye stuffs. This
shows that a country possessing
or being in proximity to the raw
materials, does not necessarily
mean that country will reap
the wealth that it might by man

into salable articles, thereby in.
creasing their value in some cases,
as in the case of phenacetin, a by

it does show that any industry

throughout the world we find
various articles of manufacture
stamped with the three significant
words, made in Germany"
The demand for articles bear.
ing this trademark shows their
superiority. We know that this
trademark is supported by the
knowledge gained from years of
experience in special lines, and
that these articles are the best
that science and skill can pra-
duce. What Germany has dono,
We Can do, and more because our
people are fully as capable as the
Germans and our recourses are
immensely more.
If Germany, with 81, 100000 in.
habitants, with lnsuffrIe ent lands
to sustain her population by agri-
cultural pursuits, importing her
raw materials, and as much as l.
100000 tons of coal per year, and
extensive food stuffs to sustain
life In her bordsrs-if she be
taken as an example Of what in
dustrial training can do for a
nation, the advantages of such
training to a country as rich in
natural resources as the United
States, must be apparent to all.

RING up THE OLD FLAG.

"A mass meeting of the demo-
ctats of Ardmore and vicinity was
cailed for last night at the United
States court house.
The announcement was we'll and
generally known and the court
house was filed, every seat being
occupied by a staunch democrat
while others were compelled to
stand.
The house was called to order
By S. T. Bledsoe, president of the
Bryan and Sewall club, who an
nounced that club in session for
the purpose of hearing the report
of the committee that was appoint
! ed to act in conjunction with a
| similar committee from the Jetfer-
sonian club in devising means for
the consolidation of the two clubs.
Mr.. Lee Cruce made the report
for the committee, recommending
that the Bryan and Sewall club
disband and adjourn sine die, and
that Immediately upon the adjourn
ment of the club that j. e.
Thompson call the mass meeting
to order.
The report of the committee was
adopted and by vote of its mem
bers the Bryan and Sewall club
passed into history.
The mass meeting was at once
called to order by j. C. Thompson
who, after few remarks, declared
the house ready for nomination fol
temporary chairman.
A. G.. Cruce was recognized by
the chair and in a strong speech
nominated a venerable democrat,
who had followed jackson and Lee

he wanted to put in nomination

popular man in Ardmore. Mayor

Each nomination was seconded
by q number of good speeches at
the conclusion of which the house

for, the chair was puzzled to know

now the counting OF the VOteS
would be done. 1t was agreed
that all Pulliam men get on one
side of the house and the Gardner
men ON the other. Each side
cheered, waved their hats and hol-
lowed for their man as they voted
by walking to one or the other side
of the house. The majority of the
votes were declared for Capt. Pull :
liam and the gavel was turned
over to him.

ing the foreign policy of the re-
publican party and predicted the
election of VIM. J. Bryan, fol
president. A. G. Cruce was called
and tSok the floor for only a min
ute long enough to tell what Bib
Spragins told him. 1t has been
noticed for some time, said Mr.
Cruce, that the republicans OF
ArdmOre have been coughing and
many inquiries have been made as
to the cause. Mr.. Spragins had
learned the cause and Mr.. Cruce
wanted to tell everybody. Said
the speaker some republican OF
this town wrote to Mark Hanna
asking him what kind of sugar he
should use in his coffee. Hanna
took the matter as joke and re
piled that it was clearly the duty
of every republican to use cayenne
pepper in his coffee. Since that
time said Mr.. Cruce every republi-
! can in this town has been using
cayenne pepper and their throats
are raw, hence the coughing that
has aroused the curiosity of the
democrats.
Judge Nixon responded to re-
peated calls with speech brim
full of logical and well rounded
sentences. -.
The committee at this stage of
the meeting announced ready to
report. ]. P. Woods for the COM
mittee recommended that the or
ganization be called the Ardmore
Democratic club and its officers to
consist of president, first, second
and third vice presidents, secre-
tary, assistant secretary, treasurer,
corresponding secretary and assis-
tant corresponding secretary. They
also recommended that all funds
of the two clubs be placed to the
credit of this club, and that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws.
The COMMITTEES deplored the friction
that had existed in local politics.

In allowing the schools to resume

health wish to impress on our peo-

saying the fact that the recent

cleaning up their premises who
heretofore never gave such a
