the South was the section Of the Union
which first developed manufactures and
made them profitable. 1t built the first
cotton mills and opened the first iron
furnaces, and it proved that manufac-
lures could be prOfitably carried on in
America. At the very moment when a
brilliant industrial future seemed open
ing to 1t and 4 Investigation Of its
industries was promised. it practically
abandoned the field Of manufactures ana

capture 1t. VIZ can now see that ne

of this industrial decline. The negro

the best profits in the field. The South

abandoned manufactures.
The industrial revival now so marked
in the Southern States did not begin the
moment slavery ended for the reason that
the war and reconstruction had so greatly
set them back that it took some years
to recover from the shock. But we have
now fully recovered from that setback
and are moving forward rapidly. What

nearly all important towns of the State
that contractors have been unable 10 Sc

nature of the industry it is quite impos-

however, estimate that the increase in
production over 1898 is not less than 80
