his attention an editorial in the Chi

Reference has been made in these
columns to the leadership of our
southern states in the production of
cotton. and it is not surprising to find
the Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more, regarding the export figures OF
the past fiscal year with complacency
Among exports exclusively from the
south it includes: Cotton, 1919 965 Ola;
cottonseed oil, SIS, ,125,S02; cottonseed
cake and NEAL, s13,S9717S; naval
stores, $16,106,643; phosphates, $685.
274. This makes a total of S451 $780,
GIL. and that alone was nearly one
third of all our domestic exports. But,
besides the articles named. the south
exports other products which it raises
manufacturers in ComOmn with other
parts of the country-timber, tobacco,
petroleum, cotton goods, provisions,

wood manufactures, leather-and its
share of such exports Is roughly esti-

Constantly her transportation fa-

navigation being improved, railroads
developing. The south has now about
$4,000 miles of railway. New mill
villages spring up all over the land.
Though we hear much of the poor pay
received by the mill operatives, we
must, ere we picture a state OF ab-

the fact that almost all of the neces-

Neckwear shows some novelties this

cuffs, often the chemisctte IS made to

The figures prove the wealth of
southern fields, and unquestionably
cotton is still king among our exports.
The value of exports of raw cotton
alone exceeded the value of the COM
bined exports of breadstuffs cattle,

as great as the value of our iron and
steel exports, and two-thirds as great
as the value of all our manufactured

And the south now owns King Cot
ton, as never before She no longer
sends it all out to mills far from
where the product is grown. AS
Leonora Beck Ellis, writing in Gun
tons Magazine, forcefully phrases 1t:
The lower Atlantic and gulf states
no longer constitute mere agricult-
ural tract, huge, unwieldy, badly TILED
with transportation dependent almost
solely upon wagon roads and water
ways, with scattered towns and
sparse and anomalous population COM
posed of but two classes, the man with
the hoe and the landed aristocracy.'
The south has great territory
something like 100000 square miles
Of area. Thomas Dixon in his pic
lures Of the south gives us, even
the most ignorant, a vivid glimpse
at the riches of this vast area;
its riches of water and soil, its for
ests and minerals wonderful re-
sources. To change fron an agri-
cultural people to an industrial is not
the work OF day, and though the
