secs "ood Times Ahcad-SOuth Caro-.
llnian in Washington Talks of Stotc.s
Resources

washington. Sept. 12.-If Soutb
Carolina had a few more "rooters"
like Mr.. j. p. Matthews, of Columbia
bank president, financier and vel,
known citizen, it would hardly be
necessary for South Carolina to ad-.
vertise her varied. resources to the
world throsgh other channels.
Discussing the business outlook in
South Carolina and the general pros
porous conditions prevailing there to
a group of newspaper men in the lob
by Of the New Willard Hotel today,
Mr.. Matthews said:
THE cotton crop Of the South will
be the salvation Of the country this
year. The outlook is much more
promising now than it was sixty or
even thirty days ago. The indications
are that we Gill have a crop of 49,
100000. of an approximate value of
$SO0,O00,000 in the raw state. AS the
South will use something like $780,
600 bales of this product, it may cas-
lily be seen that the South will be re-
spOnsible to the United States for an
enormous amount Of money, which
will certainly Offset the recent ship
ments Of gold abroad. The manu-.
factured value Of this cotton will be
worth something like four and a hall
billions of dollars, a billion more than
alfthe money in the United States.
/ "A small part of this work will be
done in the South, for you must re-
member that we are operating some.
thing less than 100000 spindles ir
all the South. We have some trou:
bles with labor and the Indications
are that we will have more, but so far
as the foundations are concerned, the
prosperity Of this country is safe.
''The State of South Carolina alone
will have something like $4,000, 600
worth Of cotton, and this seems enor-
nous when you take into considera-
ton that there is but 100000 on
deposit IN the banks Of the State.
Right now in the United States
there are great fortunes to be made,
and while they do not come to people
who sit with hands folded. they will
come to those who go put after them.
l know of one mill in the South which
was installed at a, cost OF 100000
that is making $1,000 month clear
profit. But it is not only in the South
this is true. I have had occasion in
the past year - v,cit nearly every soc-
ton o the country and the same
thing IS true everywhere. It's the
greatest country on earth and the
development is only just begun. I do
think, however, that il big business
men could devote all their time to bus
mess instead of giving most of it to
the public, and the rest to the labor
situation, business would progress
more rapidly. The country has not
been so badly pillaged as some persons
imagine.
Mr.. Matthews also believes that
South Carolina is just beginning to
enjoy an unprecedented era Of pros
perity Columbia, he says, is expert
encing considerable growth, many of
the towns in the State, both In the
Piedmont section and on the coast
are forging ahead and Charleston,
too. is shortly to have her direct ship
connections with Austrian and Ger
man markets.-News and Courier. t

Not TO Be Baked,

piled in much wider sense than he
had in mind. He was speaking of two
boys. brothers, who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They We're
bright boys. and their father. in telling
the carpenter of his pleasure at their
progress in their work, said he could
not see but one had done just as we'll
as the other.
"Um-m!' said the carpenter. Il pre-
sumo to say their work looks about of
piece, but I'll tell You the difference
hctwiNt those two boys. You give
Ed just the right tools, and he'll do
real good job, but Cy. if he hasn't
got what he needs, he'll make his own
tools and say nothing about it.
IF We're cast ON n desert island
and wanted Il box opened, | should
know thcr'd he no use asking Ed to do
it without | could point him out ham

"Rut. Cyl" added the Old carpenter
with Il snap of his fingers, the lack of
hammer wouldn't stump that boy.
He'd have something rugged up and
that box opened if there was any open
TO it, | expect CY's going to march
ahead of Ed all his life
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words. for while the boy who
made his own tools" is rich his broth
er is still an ordinary workman.
