Southern Exchange Association.
1 FULL EXPLANATION OF ITS PURPOSES
ITS SCOPE AND ITS PE&80NNEL.
To (/.< Editor of the Mail and Exprcm :
Siu . Despite ilie generous notice which
has been giveu the Southern Exchange Association
by the press of tho country, we find
in certaiu quarters a misapprehension as to
who compose it, its raison d'etre its plan
and purpose, and what it has thus far accotnpl
shed. Therefore we aek space in your
valuable columns in which to set lorth
fiirly these matters.
The small central b dy, with its headquarters
here at the commercial heart of the
tiMti'iu consists of forty-'our members.
Eighteen of the.?c are Northern men, ten are
Southern by birth, but Northern by adoption.
and the remainder nrr SmnK?i>n?M
and resido in the South. These Inst hrc
chairmen of the Advisory Boards of their
respective States, Missouri nud the District
of Columbia bringing the number up to sixteen.
The chairman of each State nppoiuts ?
chairman for eack Congressional District
thireof, and the latter a choir an for each
county in his district. This organization is
further extended by the appointment of a
chairman for each township ?n the county.
All report through the successive grades.
, to the central body at New York. To each
f chairman is accorded the privilege of gathering
about him the number he tinds necessary
to make up an etlicient advisory bonrd.
The purposes of the association are "to
provide the ways and means for ascertaining
advertising* and in all ways advancing the
development of the South." Whch, analyzed.
means that it Vill, through experts
gather reliable and exhaustive data as to the
South s resources, advantages and needs,
aud, through npproprirte channels convey
this specific information, properly arranged
and classified, to those whom it will most
iutcrest.
To answer the inquiry thus awakened, it
will maintain in New York City a permanent
exhibit, which will afford ocular demonstration
of what the South produces:
aud it will keep a registry, open to inspection
by prospective settlers or investors and
which will set forth properties for ta'e iu
the way of timber, mineral or agricultural
lands, water powers, etc , inducements
offered to immigration or to manufacture,
capital wanted for commercial or industrial
vuivi|'iiav*3 etc., uy luutvitiuais, struts, corporations
or communities together with the
terms and conditions governing saute.
A skilled artisan or agriculturist is dissatisfied
with his surroundings?some
locality in the South exactly fits his requirements
and badly needs him ; a Southern
town wunts and is otFcriug extraordinary
inducements for some particular kind of
mill?elsewhere parties ate searching for
just such opportunity; some Southern locality
is making an attractive .bid for much
needed capital?in other sections of the
country idle capital is awaiting such adventure:
yet these without the intervention of
some such exchange as this, might never
find each other.
The several States of the South, through
their commissioners of immigration, bureaus
of agriculture laud or other departments
have long sought to attract settlers: the
communities of the South, through their
commercial bodies, to encourage manufacture
and the investment of capital: but lacking
concert of action, they have met with
failure, or at best, only partial success ?
bidding against each other, they have hurt
each other s chances.
The Southern railroads have bccu no
more successful, for actuated by the saute
spirit of competition which governed the
policy of the great East and West railroads
tu settling their waste lands, tliey seldom
have paused to consider whether or no the
immigrant would suit his uow environment.
Like the transcontinental roads, tbey
* have-to? often carried the lumberman inte
the prairies, the husbandman into the timber
regions or mining country, and the
miner iuto agricultural fields. Of course
they did not fit, Not infrequently they
have failed to attract settlers tor the reason
that the immigrant agent 01 each has so
belittled the inducements olliied bv tbe
others as lo cause (he prospcc or to distrust
the representntions^of all.
\ll this tho Southern Kxcbangc Association,
equally iutercsted iu each Southern
State, will endeavor to remedy. Its impartial
statements will accredit to each section
or locality all it has or deserves?but no
more. Therefore, tvhen this comes to tc
generally known and accepted, cash section
or locality will develop along tho lines of its
best advantages and resources.
It is claimed that the generally cuterlaiucd
doubt us to the guarantees ollered by
the laws of the Southern States to business
and investinect is is the chief hindrance to
their rapid devel puient, and it is to gather
information which will dissipate ih s doubt
should it prove to be unfounded, or to procure
the correction of adverse icgislatien
tdiould it really exist that the tsoutheru
Exchange Association has established a
Bureau of Legislation, the membership of
which comprises six of the ublest jurists in
the country.
Besides (Lis Bureau of Legislation there
are fifteen other bureaus?such as the
Bureau of Manufacture, Bureau of Agriculture,
Bureau of Miuing. etc,?the funcliou
ul - .o'h of which is to gather all the facts
cone, ruiug its specialty for the information
uf the executive committee of which it may
be asid to be a sub-committee.
It wi.l be seeu that to arrange the machinery
of such an organization is no small
undertaking, and that it cauuot instantly
bo accomplished. It must necessarily take
Rome little time and much hard work; and
\ et a less comprehensive system would fail
f thoroughly representing, caring for,
l ieilitating and promoting the commercial
stud industrial interests of the Southern
."<1 ties in severalty and as a whole.
Tho association, the purpose ami plans of
which have been cordially accepted by the
c utitry-^aa is attested by tlie comments of
:.:>c press,, and by an immense volume of
letters of encouragement, approval and ooug.-alulation?is
only now entering upon its

To tbe Editor of The State :
l'ear Sir: 1 ain gild to sec that a uio?e
is Leitig made in Columbia in the in'erest of
better public roads, as 1 regn'd this as the
greatest economic problem just now I efore
the people. There will be held in Charloite,
N C., Sept. 12th and 13th next, a public
road conference which will be largely nitcuded
by prominent persons from different
portions of North Carolina, and we will be
grout y pleased to see n number of de'egntes
from Upper South Carolina present on that
occasion. The Mecklenburg ro.nl law and
tlio Mecklenburg rends will be cirefully examined
by all attending the convention, and
tbe general question of how best to permanently
improve our pubic roads with the
least expenditure of money, and tbe best
ways of raising money for this purpose ; the
use of convict labor, etc., will all be careful y
discussed, by persons who have had practical
experience in these matters, before the
conference. I am sure a great deal could be
gained for your county by sending a dclegrtiou
to Charlotte at the dates mentioned
above, and let them not only hear the diecushions
but examine those fino macadam
roads of which Mecklenburg county is justly
proud. Perhaps you can induce the county
commissioners of your county, at their meeting
next Monday, to authorize the sending
of a delegation to Charlotte, and if in addition
to this his honor, the mayor of Columbia,
will come with the delegation from iho
city, we will g vc him a warm welcome and
do all we can to make the trip both protiia
ble and pleasant, and we will also be greatly
pleased to havu you attend this read conference.
Hoping to see you and others from your
county in Charlotte nt lite road conference,
1 beg to remain, meanwhile,
Yours very truly,
J. A. Holmes,
State Geologist and Secretary North
Carolina Road Improvement Association.
The above was taken from the Staff of the
2nd inst. We are very glad to see that the
matter of good roads is being brought before
the people in a substantial way. Our State
needs better roads, better high-ways out in
the country as well at near and in towns,
and I suppose there are few counties in the
state to which it is a more vital question
than tons right here at t'nion. Some of our
roads are quite passable now, but tny ! they
are not anything like what they ought to be.
In the winter lime when the rain comes they
present quite a different appearance from
what they do even now : but we ought to
have (Item so that they would be better all
the year round than they are anywhere
used It ought to be so that one could drive
to any part cf the county on a dark night
without danger. That's the kind of roads
they have in some of the Northern slates and
as a result their property is worth three or
four times as much as ours. If we could
have sucli roads here, as they have in Mecklenburg.
North Carolina, it would enhance
the value of the real estate of this county by
otto hundred per cent. The question of good
roads is being -"Minted nil over the country.
There has come 10 our desk more than once
an exchange enti'led "Goo<l Howls" and
we hope it witl do good. Good roads is the

Take u stranger out for a ten mile drive into
the eouutry over a rend where bis life is in
almost continuous jeopardy and you will
hardly get him out again even if the crops
are fine nud the laud good. And he would
surely uot think of buying or settling. Itut
if tho roads are good it willjbe <juite different.
Good roads in the country cover a
multitude of inconveniences.
Now, how can we get good roads and
spread the town nil over ihc couu'y ami
make a garden of it ? Well, we'll have to
work for them, and work together. We understand
Spartanburg is going to try to procure
a road ltw similar to Mecklenburg's.
Would it not be well for us to be looking
into tbc matter, and to that end send one or
two delegates iu tbc Convention at Charlotte
to look nt those beautiful macadam roads
and come back and teli 119 about tliero, and
tell us how they made them, nud how much
it cost ? Mecklenburg County lias spent a
good deal of money on its roads, but it has
not been a burden because it is a good investment.
Now, we are not proposing to
adopt their system without lirst examining
it. but we do think that it would be well for
us to look into this matter at once, and keep

The tempera'nre was somewhat lower than
Juring tbe previous week, but there wns nn
average daily excess of temperature of from
two to thrco degrees over the normal, quite
evenly distributed throughout the week.
The coast regions were relatively warmer
than the interior of the State. Highest
tempctatuve lb) at Oukwood on the 30th,
and 04 at Sp it tnnhurg on the 31st; lowest
"><? at Greenville on the 28tb.
Tite<e was more sunshine than during the
previous week. During the latter portion of
t^9 wick tli/ero was much haze or smoke,
vtU'wli coiled light fleecy clouds to form
during the hoite-t parts of the day through
which the fun shed a <1 (fused orange colored
light. The nights were uniformly
clear after On. m.
There were few rainy days altho the rain
that fell on the 23th throughout the greater
portion of the State except on the coast
where the showers occurred on the 20th,
left but small, if any, sections of the State
without some rain. It was generally nroded
ami proved very beneficial, except tbat the
showets on I lie 28th were very heavy at
places washing some lands badly.
Cotton bills arc maturing and opening
rapidly aud picking has by this lime become
general. As nearly nil fields have been
gone over, the actual condition of the fields
can be judged, f r instance, the truitago
and the damage by shedding and rust, and
the rotting of bolls. Shedding and rust are
not os general ns herciofcc a'tho the reports
of damage from those sources coutinuc,
particularly frun localities having a sandy
soil, where, also, there is no top crop making,
growth having stopped. On stifTer or
heavier soil the plum has attained a very
rank growth of weed, but the fruitage is
deficient, owing, it is thought, to the very
rapid growth of the p'nut after the July
rains began.
This luxuriant growth of weed has given
the crop n deceptive appearance heretofore,
aud its aggregate condition must be placed
at considerably less than nn average crop.
There is considerable and quite gencrul
complaint of retting of bolls near the ground.
The late c?rn crop is fast maturing and
will not yicl 1 us well ns the early planted
but is nevcrthe'ess u fair crop. Fodder
about all gathered in very good condition.
Considerable hay was made during the
past week under favorable weather conditions,
although the showers iu the fore part
of the week drenched some newly cjt grass
injuring it slightly.
Pens arc beginning lo make pods and are
d ing very well. Some pea-vine Lay has
been cut.
The rice harvest is still under way and
tly^j ield is most encouraging for a good
average. Shipments of new rice have already
been nude to northern markets.
The yield of sweet potatoes is large, but
the growth of the tuber was so rapid that
many are split, and a dry rot has affected
the ctop in places.
Rutabagas aud ether varieties of turnips
arc giowing finely where a good stand wa?
obtained, which was generally the case.
A large portion of the cabbage crop has
rotted, but other scisonable garden products
arc plentiful, having been favored by the
weather.
On (lie whole the past week's weather was
favorable for growing and maturing crops.
