been through past years Of faithful
tltic aid to the farmer nov commands
the attention OF our National Govern
ment. We OF South Carolina should
also do this, Just as far as may be prac-
ticablc. Clemson College stands now
fully equipped and flourishing, as the
nucleus for even broader and more di-
yersified work, and thus for greater
results. 54
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.
Our Industrial development, too,
shows tremendous and striking adj
vance when we briefly consider the
figures shown in our manufacturing
institutions. The establishment of
million-dollar cotton mill, upon safe
mon occurrence in South Carolina.
After the war we we're deSOlated--no
one thought OF manufactures. Some
years later we made feeble beginning.
Without going into details now, for
this is unnecessary, 1t need only to be
stated that South CarOlina-alwayS in
the forcfrorlt-has here made most
wonderful record. She now stands sec
Ond highest iii these United States In
the value Of her cotton mill industry,
with ratio OF increase second to none.
TO the men who have made this mag
niticent record we owe much. This is
due to the presidents and officers
whose ability and whose money have
made this achievement aud also to the
operatives whose time and whose skill
have accomplished what these alone
can do. The great captains Of this in
dusGry have permanently and upon the
tirmest basis established their reputa-
tions, and In so doing the reputation
Of their State also, in this modern and
progressive work.
THE aTATB's RESOURCES.
In q brief survey Of general cOndi-
tiOnS-fOr 1t is not expedfent to at
tempt more noW-again is there reason
for congratulatiOn: Natures gifts to
us have been Of bountcOuS bestowal in
eyery respect. Almost every crop can
he grown here because of our fertile
fields and superb climate, In quantity
and variety Of valuable timber we
have no superior, but our fast disap-
pcaring forests should, not only be-
cause of their increasing intrinsic
worth, but for the all important rca-
SONS which are included in their act
ing us agents in modifying the surface
of the earth, and III checking the de-
structiyc forces CT nature, at once re-
ccivc the utmost care and cOnSidera-
tion Of our lawmakers, and steps
should be taken looking to their pres
eryation. For stock raising, again, our
lands and climate leave nothing TO be
desired, and this industry we'll de-
serves our most careful attention.
AN INNIIa RATION BUREAU.
we have wealth in minerals, from
che granite foundations of our hills
and the phosphate deposits Of our
over rivers, to the richest and best
producing gold mines east or the
Rocky Mountains. The abundant
water power OF South Carolina, divert
Ell from qucnchipg the thirst or wild
ana domestic animals, Is now turning
thousands or factory wheels and spin
dles, with Tho power Tor thousands
more, Surely these are good reasons
