The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1905-03-29

W. E. Curtis, writing, to the Chica-
90 Record Herald from Birmingham
SAYS. Southern iron is said to make
the smoothest castings of any produced
in the United States, and for many
purposes satisfactory foundry work
cannot be secured without it. No 9th
er state produces so large quantity
of foundry iron as Alabama, and yet
very little is used here. The largest
domestic buyers of Birmingham iron,
I am told, are manufacturers OF ma
chinery and machine tools in Ohio
and the west, while the New England
manufacturers of cotton mill machln-
cry consume large quantities. Some
one who has been looking up the sub
iect asserts that nearly all OF the cot
ton mill machinery used in the south
is manufactured in New England out
of Birmingham iron. It is especially
adapted to locomotive building, also,
and large quantities are being sent to
Philadelphia. Providence, Chicago,
and Richmond locomotive works for
that purpose. That is the reason why
the new international Power company,
which has consolidated nearly all of
the locomotive works Of she United
States, has secured control of one OF
the largest pig iron concerns in Blr-
.ningham.

COTTON IN AFRICA.
1t Turns Out That Cotton Cannot be
Successfully Raised in East Africa.

London, March 2O.-The report of
the commissioners sent out by the
British government to investigate the
cotton growing possibilities in East
Africa is published this evening in
the formof a White Paper. 1t says:
'eUnless difficulties which at present
appear to be insuperable can be re-
moved, cotton cultivation in East
Africa will never be undertaken
on any considerable scale First
among the difficulties the COM
missioners place labor, on account OF
the apathy of the natives and their
disinclination for work. The to,al area
devoted to cotton growing under Eu-
ropean supervision can scarcely ex-
ceed a fewthousand acres. The COM
missioner's opinion is that the only
solution of the difficulty is indentured
labor from India or China.
