The South'S Climate.

In an interview at Knoxville not long

ing of the possibility of New England
print mills moving to the cotton fields,
said that print goods may be success
fully manufactured in the South, but
that the day would never come when
fine bleached domestic may be turned
out by Southern mills, because Of cii-
matte or atmospheric conditions. Gil
matte or atmospheric conditions have
been great standby for half a CEN
tury in arguments intended to prove the
limitation Of the South in cotton manu-
featuring. But the South, with some in
terruption, has gone on manufacturing
cotton, passing from lower to higher
grades, going into the print business,
and even daring to try bleaching. AS =
matter of fact, the South has the most
superior climate in the country, as far
as cotton is concerned, especially cot
ton-growing.
