Alphabetically speaking. the southern

King Cotton
Independence of the South.
Nothing will more thoroughly demon
strate the independence of the south than
the statistics which show a constant and
yearly Increase of improved farm acreage
1T is interesting to note how steady the
growth has been. From 1896 to 1900 the
increase in deposits of the southern banks
and trust companies was but $3i, 00o,co0.
600, 600. The next year, 1905, the increase
was S130, DOC, 900 Thus in one yer, south
ern financial Institutions added nearly as
much to their deposits they did in four
years decade ago.
Twenty years ago the south made Its
first step toward the development of its
manufacturing establishments
Tennessee has always had important
manufacturing interests. Notwithstanding
that, Tennessee increased her manufactures
from S37, 100000 in 1880 to S720O0,0o0 in
1890, and S10S,oO00o0 in 1900.
1.-The capital invested in manufacturing
enterprises in the seven southern states
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas-was SILL
600 900 twenty years ago. In 1900 ii in
creased to $5I2, 100000.
THE products OF manufactures in these
states were SOL 600, 600 in 1880, while In
1900 they amounted to 1888, 000,000 1t Will
be seen that the products of these seven
states were s2I0,00o000 greater in 1900 than
they were In 1880
