Important Industrial tom.

Ing territory. Alter INC Sleot soccesS

merville by DR.. Shepard outside
capital has entered the field and
the company recently organized will
plant thousands of acres at Rautowies,
fifteen miles from Charleston. The
company will raise at least 800, 900
pounds annually for the American
markets, and at the uniform price OF
81 per pound, which is paid for all the
Summerville tea, the industry will net
rich returns for the section.
Colonel A. G. Tyler, of New Lon
don, Conn, who is president OF the
company chartered by the state, was
in command of Connecticut regiment
in camp at Summerville during the
Spanish war. He had occasion to
watch the Shepard experiment and be-
lieved SO strongly in the great success
of tea culture that he decided to plant
on q wholesale scale. Colonel Tyler
is one of the wealihiest men in Con.
nect;cut, and he is backed by millions.
Charleston will be made general dis
tributing depot for the company, and
the first crop will be planted as soon
as the ground has been put in proper
shape to receive the plants. DR..
Shepard thinks that in few years tea
culture in this part of the country will
rank high with cotton.
Charleston Well Provided For.
Charleston has Jared we'll with the
federal government in she matter OF
moneys appropriated for new ventures
and improvements at that port. While
the natural advantages and facilities
have helped in this work of the repre-
sentatives, the city and the CONNER
cial organizations have been of avail,
and all things considered, the city
just now is on the verge OF an era OF
prosperity not felt in recent years.
With the coming of the big dry dock
and naval station, nearly two million
dollars will be expended, and the
business of the port and city will be
wonderfully improved. The magnifl-
cent harbor facilities have been recog-
nized by the navy department and the
deep water is sufficient to accommo-
date all the larger vessels of the navy.
In addition to the naval station
appropriations money has been allow
ed for the construction OF lighthouse
supply station. now in course OF erec-
tion, and more than half million
dollars is now available for the erec-
tion of army posts and barracks on
Sullivan's Island. There is also an
appropriation for general harbor i'm
provements. The petition from the
South Carolina Interstate and Indian
exposition is expected to bring $780,
900 from the government for this big
enterprise. The state has already.
voted favorably on the appropriation,
and there is every reason to believe
that similar action will be taken IN the
house. This will give the exposition
a wonderful lift and will clinch its ul-
innate success.

The Fall River manufacturers OF
common print cloths who have given
notice OF a cut in wages do not take
kindly to the suggesting that they cut
down their production instead and
thus give the market a chance to ab-
sorb surplus stocks and open tho way
for stiifenlng OF prices. These man
ufacturers say with some truth that
II they were to reduce production
while their competitors did not the lat
ter alone would be the gamers Re-
duced production TO be really effective
must be general. There are 80 many
cotton mills and they are so widely
distributed that unanlmity OF action is
impossible. At the same time the Tex
tile Manufacturers Journal has its
doubts whether the cut in wages, n
made, will add materially TO the profits
Of the FAN River mills. It says that
price reduction may come as con-
sequence OF the wage reduction. Man
ufaoturers seldom retain any--1enefit
from special advantages The buyer
Is usually the beneficiary. The fact
OF the matter is that there Is so much
competitions y the manufacture OF
common cottons that while mills which
have new and improved machinery and
are well managed are able TO make
money mills with Inferior machinery
cannot do 80 unless they can beat
down their workmels wages. The
employees at FAN River are not ready
to submit to the proposed cut. and If
It is insisted on there will be = ugly
