Economic and Industrial Sci
enCe in Mississippi.

Formerly agriculture was the
chief producer of wealth in these
Southern States. Now the South
has awakened to a realization that
she Is the possessor not only of u
soil and climate that will bring
forth every good thing that grows
out of the earth in the form of tree
or herb, but that her resources in
minerals and timber are more than
unsurpassed They are unexam-
pied, and the South's opportunities
Tor manufacturing are, beyond
conception, magnificent.
These observations are made in
connection with the laying Friday
at the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College of Mississippi, at Stark
vile, of the cornerstone for a new
scientific department building
Today science In the form of
chemistry. mechanism and electri-
cal application are the three genii
which bring wealth at the call of
the masters who can control them.
1t is something to be able to
produce by means of agriculture,
forestry and mining. abundant
supplies of Indispensable raw ma
terial for the worlds use, but it is
not enough to be the worlds
hewers of wood and drawers of
water 1t is the function of mod
ern science to transmute base
metals into gold, at least in value.
1t is the business of manufacturing
skill aud knowledge to take crude
products, worth only few cents n
pound, and convert them into fab
rics worth dollars for the same
weights.
The State of Mississippi already
has a. a feature of its Agricultural
and Mechanical College an impor
tant school to give practical in
struction in the spinning and
weaving of textiles of every sort.
The day is near at hand when the
worlds cotton supply. which is
grown IL these Southern States,
will be spun and woven near the
plantations where the cotton was
grown, and it is to prepare for this
that work is 10 be done.
