The South's Increasing SpindLes.

The statement by President Harrison, of the
Southern Railway, that supremacy in cotton tex
tile industries is passing to the South rests sub
stantial evidence During the five months ended
December 81, last, Southern mills consumed fifteen
per cent more cotton than during the same months
of the preceding year. The increased consumption
of the mills in other sections during that period
was only two per cent For December alone, South
ern mills consumed seventy-eight thousand, six
hundred and forty-seven bales more than the mills
in all other States consumed, excess of thirty
four per cent.
While the growth thus indicated is very rapid
and is caused partly of course, by conditions,
the forces underlying it are deep-based and perma-
nent. For many years past, the Souths natural adj
vantages as a cotton manufacturing center have
been impressing capital more and more keenly
Hence it is that majority of the spindles in
stalled in the United States since 1890 in South
ern mills. The tendency thus manifest viii heca "a
more and more accentuated the South's vast
water-power resources are developed. In the Chat
tahoochee river alone there is enough latent power
to supply industrial empire. When such re-
sources brought fully into play the manufacture
of cotton will be much cheaper in the South
where it is grown, than in other sections that the
supremacy now becoming evident will be over
whelmng.
