Wl"ditor The Advertiser: I at a Laurens 'boy and of course I ant always interested lit Laurens and in South Carolina. Now, I have rutin up on a brand new industry in this country. and I have wondered wihy South Carolina cannot do what the state of New York is doing. In the mon(th (f Alarch past, a number of wide-a'wake business men organized acomlpalny and incorporated. This cotllpatty was orgatnized under the parent silk company of New Orleans for ahei prolotioln and spreai of the silk industry in New York Oate. Of court ts there will be some people who will he ready to crv fake, fake: but I have seen this New York comI panty and what they ate doinig, at1d I can see Ito possible Chance for failiu.e. From earliest colonial timIets diffetrent parties inl different parts of this counCO try have entdeavored to raise silk. llowever, ott account of the slow growth of tte Iiilber trt'ee and the small size of the leaf, togetler with the high price of labor las compared with the cllea labor of ,JapanI tle tttelllts 'o ovdiuet silk in this vcouttn try so far, have fail.d. I want to tell you about another effort, in which not the old mu lberry tret' and the old silk worm are used. but oile inl which a new tree and it sulhper-worim is being ised. Three years ago a scieitist inl New Orleais produced a tree- -a vt'oss between the itmulberry and the osage orange- rOhicit suiripasses the old mulberry tree inl every way. The tiew tree grows iucl faster. its leaves are tiuch larpaer, ind froit them I the leavesi the silk wornts produce iiuch iore and it ticr silk. Now there has also been iro(uced a tpu per-worm which spins a super-cocoon, which i twice or tlree tilltev. tle size of tle ordinary cocoonts. Tile old rOcois cotntain only ahLlut seveni hiininited and fifty yards of raw silk, while hc nex on, coltaints anyvwhere froll a hous and to eighten iunired yards of raw silk. Three year _ ao a pareit sil' (0o ty was organized at New O leants to take ihis new Ire and slper-wolIm' and sread them over the. whol, ecunltr. throIv !-tato compllan t's. and it i. of' the New P'ork comtany that I desire to te'l you.
