ITO the white men of the South the

migration from industrial competi-

makes a standard of labor that preiu-

How often must the story o.
the South's amazing story be told
How often must the facts be given
to show a redemption from the
poverty following the wreck aud
ruin of the war, unparalleled in
historye In agriculture and manu-
features the South, despite all its
burdens. all its false teachers, has
in twenty years made greater
progress than the country at large.
Since 1891, when it had less than
100000 cotton spindles, it has
,, increased It's cotton mills by over
5000, 900 spindles, giving it now
a total of 8,25O,o00 splndles, while
during the same period England
added only l,650,0o0 to the 49,
900, 900 spindles, and New Eng
land added only 100000 spindles
to its 10, 100000. England and
the North combined had in 1891
100000 spindles, which they
have since increased by 100000,
while the South had less than g.
100000 spindles, which it has
since increased by 6,200,000.
What has been done in cotton
has to considerable extent been
done in lumber, coal and iron.
Since 1880 the South has increased
its pig iron production from &c.,:
600 tons to over 100000 tons,
reaching this year probably about
$500, 900 tons; it has increased its
coal output from 5000, 900 tons to
over 60,000,000 tons; its exports
from 1921, 100000 to $50, 100000
In 1880 it had &c, 900 miles of rail
road, now it has about 10000
miles; then it had 1923, 100000
capital invested in lumber oper-
ations, now it has $1S1, 100000,
and the value of its lumber pro-
ducts increased from 500, 100000
in 1880 to S1s8, 100000 in 1000.
And yet Mr.. Graves talks about
the South not progressing.
In the light of such figures,
which are open to the world, how
utterly absurd seems the state,
ments made by Mr.. Graves. The
fact is, starting with his false pre-
misses on the industrial line, he
has largely overdrawn the condi-
lions. He has painted picture
of the South which is not true, but
it is picture which will be dis
tributed by northern and western
railroads seeking to keep imml
grafton from the South by the hun,
dreds of thousands of copies, if
not by millions. Europe, the
North and the West will be flooded |
with it to prove that white people
must not 60 South. His speech |
will counterfeit the good work of
a hundred railroad immigration
for, false though it be, it
will be distributed as the views of
a Southern man. From beginning
to end Mr.. Graves new things
are not true things, and his true
things are not new things.
