Mayor higgins Example.

Houston Post.
Several Southern papers are com
menting in various ways on the fact
tina; Mayor Higgins, of Waco, "wears
a suit of clothes made by a Texas
tailor, from wool grown in Texas
and spun and woven in Texas fac
tory" The mayor of Waco, in fact,
is becoming pointed and censp:cu-
Gus object lesson for the readers of
ne S22lhesff:fPfess press, and has "grown
famous in night" or day, as the
case may be.
The Charleston News and Courier
finds in this fact a text for sermon
to the people of South Carolina.
"There is not one such suit of
clothes, it says, ''of local produc-
ton in all South Carolina. rhere
are about 100, 900 men ami boys in
the State, and every mothers son of
them buys and wears clothes made
outside the State. However, we
have our own dogs by the acre-we.
are independent of the world in the
matter of dogs"
Ther the Chattanooga Times
takes up the matter and regrets that
home enterprise in the South has
been receiving such poor home sup
port. 1t remarks in this connection:
Southern enterprise in the line of higher
orr m
support. The wooden mill at Knoxville
makes hgh-grade CASHMERE, but has 10 sell
its pr oduct, we are informed, through Chi
cago agency. The North Carolina mills,
are made in the world, sell them in Phila
delphia. This ought to be changed; and we
suspect that it can be changed, to the
woolens, only by making Southern goods
into clothing for the home market. The
North Carolina wooden blanket is really bet
ter adapted to the Northern market Than to
the Southern. 1t is a very good, quite heavy
and expensive article. The South needs a
lighter and cheaper article.
But the comment has not been
confined to the Southern press. An
swering the Chattanooga Times, the
New York Commercial says:
But. after ALL it is not so ruuch what the
South requires for consumption what she
ket she shouldn't bother herself particularly
about where it is. 1t probably doesn't con-
Germ the Tarheel blanke;maker that Phila-
delphla can market lis product rather then
Raleigh or Wilmington. If the Maine and
Massachusetts wooden manufacturers were to
produce only such goods could be sold in
their own States. they might have to shut
their mills down pretty often.
Still the Commercial commends
Mayor Higgins example. 1t doubts
not that the clothes fit and become
him, and it declares that che thus
honors and advertses a great Texas
industry--an industry. TOO, that
would be vastly greater if all the
people of Texas. male and female,
could and would follow in his foot
steps"
AnG SO it is that a very simple
act Of home patronage of home en-
terprse in Texas in attracting wide
spread attention and seems destined.
