The Illstory of the Industrial Developmentof this S ctlon

The January number of tho Chatta-nooga

¬

Tradesman has the followingThe greatest improvement In the South

during the past decade has been in man-ufactures

¬

It was mainly an agriculturalcountry at the end of the war althoughit had every advantage for numerousmanufactures Slavery rendered thisinevitable for slave labor was illsuitedfor tho factories aud moreover agri-culture

¬

made such good returns thatother lines of business were at a dis-count

¬

After the war the South luckedcapital good transportation facilitiesand labor For the capital It bud to lookelsewhere to a large extent It Is truethnt it bad some capital with which itbuilt up many smaller industries butgenerally money was scarce in thesedays and enterprises which promisedwell and would have succeeded withsufficient backing failed for lack of It-

Iloginning nbout 1875 some Northerncapital was placed In the South Mostof it nt first went into railroads but fac-tories

¬

soon secured somu of it Asearly as 1870 the New York Herald esti-mutej that Northern capital was beinginvested in the South nt the rate of525000000 a year

Beginning about 1883 soon alter thePiedmout exposition at Atlantn whiohattracted a number of Northern capital-ists

¬

to the South and more particularlyduring the New Orleans exposition of-lo85 which broucht still larger numbersof them in this direction the value ofthe Souths mineral resources began to-be recognized This was the greutest

boom Southern manufactures hadThere were large purchases of coal and-iron lands the establishment of Ironfurnaoes foundries etc and withibem enme the development of a host ofother Industries

The lumber business got a boom be-ginning

about 1882 when it became evi-dent

that tho Western tlmbersupply wnsrunning short and that the countrywould have to depend to a large extenton the wellwooded lands of the SouthWithin a comparatively short pprlodnearly all the United Stales pine landsin the Southwest were purchased by-peculutors as well as large bodies of

The great boom in the cottonseed oilbusiness dates from about the sameperiod the cottonseed oil entering intothe manufacture of Inrd and comingmore generally Into demand
