THE SOUTH'S OPPORTUNI-1
1IES. '
? t
President of Southern Rail* I
way Shows How the Re- 1
sources of This Country 1
May be Further Developed 1
by the Diversification of
Crops and Manufacturing
Industries.
To the Kditor of the Lancaster News:
It has occurred to me that it )
may not be improper for me to 1
address you and other represent- '
ative editors in the Southern
States on a subject which 1 be- 8
lieve to be ot treat importance [
to the future prosperity ot our 1
r
section.
My duties require me to keep 1
in touch, as nearly as possible, 8
with business conditions through- c
out the country, and especially *
in the South. Since the begin- (
niug ot the business depression *
from which the country is now 1
rprnv?ri n<r I llutra Konn npnuflw 1
&, - ' v
impressed with evidence which 1
ha9 come to me that, while busi- 1
ness all over the United States '
has been unfavorably affected, v
the effects of the depression have (
been felt most severely, as a 1
4- general rule, in those commtini- *
? * c
ties the energies of which are devoted
principally to the produc- (
tion of a single commodity, or of 1
a few commodities, and that '
business has been relatively less (
affected in those communities in
which production is more diversified.
I have been impressed es
pecially with the fact that the
business depression has -$>een
relatively less severe in those
Southern localities in which attention
has been given to the
growing of fruits and vegetables.
There has b en a steady
market for these products, and,
although prices have not in some
instances been as high as in
other seasons, I believe they have '
r.?_ ii-- ]
f^cuci?* ?_/ jritiucxj prums hi mtj
growers.
The press of the South has :
already accomplish??d much by 1
advocating diversification of '
agriculture and manufacturing, '
and, looking back over the past :
25 years, we can realize that '
much has been accomplished in '
this direction. I believe, how
1 y
ever, that the time is especially
\ opportune lor continuing our 1
efforts in this direction and for 1
urging that each Southern com 1
mnniftr clioll m uI/a t l? a rv? * f !
uiuui \j j riid it ? n D Ul
the opportunities which a re- 1
vival of business will open up to 1
it. 1
Nature has favored the South '
with practically inexhaustible '
resources of great variety, and '
the industrious aud resourceful 1
Southern people have shown 1
their ability to tafce up and carry '
to success ntw lines of industry. 1
I believe, therefore, that you |
will agree with nie as to the de- (
?; _ ? w; i:?.. ..t :
Dii auiiu v in r>ni:uui aj&iug still (
greater diversification of indus- 1
try iu the direction of utilizing |
to the fullest extent the natural
resources of our section.
Without attempting to enum
erate the lines in which progress
in this direction is possible, 1 ,
would suggest that, in many lo j
calitiee, agricultural prosperity 1
might ho advanced by further i
diversification of farming, es- j
pecially in the direction of producing
the fruits and vegetables
bestisoited for each locality ; \
THE LAN
hat live stock and dairying
night profitably receive more
itteution in some localities, and
hat, in connection with a larger
jroduction of fruits and vegeta)les,
there aie many localities
u:-u - '
u wiuuu canning ana presorvng
industries might, profitably
)e carried on more extensively
han at present.
Industrially, 1 believe it
ihould be the aim of the South
o add to the profits ot produc
ug raw materials the profits of
nanufacturing, by converting
Southern raw materials, as far
is possible, into articles ready
or use. As indicating what may
)e done along this line, I may
efer to the cotton textile indusry.
Although the South has
ubstuntial monopoly in the proluction
of the most widely used
lextile fibre in the world, some
)f us are old enough to remem
?
ler wnen it was tieiieved in
nany quarters that cotton rnanu!acfcuring
on a large scale could
iot be established successfully
n the South. The Southern
people first demonstrated their
ibility to make the coarser grades
if cotton fabrics, and they are
iow demonstrating their ability
;o make the finer grades as well
ind to bleach and finish the proiucts
ot their mills. I think we
nay look forward with confilence
to the further development
if this great industry and of inlustries
depending upon it, such
is the manufacture of cotton
^oods into articles of clothing
eady for wear
1 might enumerate a long list
Df opportunities for the further
levelopment of manufacturing.
Lt would include the conversion,
m a larger scale, of Southernmade
leather into boots and
ihoes, hainess and belting, in
Southern factories, and the con
version of the products of Southern
forests and mines into a long
list ot particles ready lor use. I
liave said enough, however, to
suggest to you the point I wish
to make, which is, that 1 believe
that all ot us who have the pros
perity of the South at heart
should do all in our power to ensourage
the diversification of
Southern industry and the conversion
in Southern factories of
Southern products into articles
ready for use rather than their
shipment to other sections in the
form of raw materials or of
partly manufactured commodities.
I need not assure you of
my great interest in every movement
for the advancement of a
Southern community, and you
know that this company through
its Land and Industrial Department,
stands ready at all times
to co operate in every proper
way with individuals and communities
along its lines for the
establishment of new industries,
(lie promotion ot such immigration
as may be desired by each
community, and the general advancement
of Southern prosperity.
Yours very truly,
W. W. Finley, President,
Southern Railway.

years ago I began to have spells of
backache and was alllicted in a rather
peculiar way. A pain would strike '
me when I least expected it and often '
when walking on the street I would
be taken with a crick in my back and
would just drop. Kor days I would
not be able to get about on account of j
these spells Some time ago I heard
