Conclusion.
In conclusion gentlemen, | desire to
call to your attention the reports OF
the various state institutions and of
the various state officers, as evidence
conclusive and indsputable. of South
Carolinas' wonderful progress along
material and educational lines. Hand
in hand together, the march of materia!
progress and the mental and moral up
lift of our people have gone steadily
forward. The figures show that dur
ing the past decade there has been a
wonderful increase in our agricultural
productions and in our varied manu-
featuring interests. peace and a sub
stantial prosperity have blessed us.
New textile industries have sprung up
within the past year; those we already
had are flourishing, and we are told
that the record of this industry in
South Carolina during the past year
has attracted the attention of investors
and business circles in the north" not
only on account of its material deve'-
opment. but also on account of the
fine showing made in health and gen.
eral condition of the employees. We
are told by the department of agricul-
ture that we have raised nearly 2,000,-
OUU more DuSnelS OF corn tnlS year lIldIl
ever before in the history of the state.
and that the cotton crop, while small
er than that of the year before. vii!
undoubtedly put more money in the
pockets of the farmers than did that
exceptionally large yield; that in the
manufacturing activities of the state
there has been magnificent increase
during the past year, both in capital
invested and in the value of manufac-
tured product. In every phase of
South Cardinals economic life. the
year 1912 will rank as the very best
year of all that have gone before and
in the higher activities of the life of
our people there has been the same
gratifying progress.
Your attention is respectfully in
vited to the reports of the different de-
