Very soon we saw it was taking effect

Value of Manufactures

The development of cotton manu-
featuring in the south is the most
important topic now before the peo.
pie Of this section, and Mr. d A
Tompkins, Of Charlotte. is the best
authority on the subject His inter
views, communications and public
addresses on the subject are dissent
mating much valuable information.
The south has too long been the
simple producer Of raw material The
pathway to prosperity lies through
converting this raw material toto the
manufactured product A marvellous
illustration of the increase in value
through manufacturing is given by
Mr. TOmpkiDs with reference to the
cotton yield OF the State Of North
Carolina as follows:
"North Carolina produceas bout
500, 900 bales of cotton. This cot
ton. at 3 cents Q pound, would be
worth 1000. .0C0, but if manufac.
tured into fine goods would bring
into the State $50 900. 900, or more
than twelve times az much as the
raw material would bring He stated
