SLANDERING THE SOUTH, t AS USUAL i I The American Economist, pub- t lished in the interest of a protective tariff, belittles its own work and its , own integrity by republishing, ap- ] parently with its approval, the j statement from the Lawrence . (Mass.) Telegram to the effect ] that "the coal shortage is due to the j influence of a syndicate of South ern coal operators, who, with the , sanction of the National Admini straiion, have shipped their coal ] rc.cr.d instead of keeping it for the .1 benefit of New England manufacturers." Commenting further on ] this statement, the Telegram says: "With the numerous instances of favoritism shown to Southern States all through the war and be- j fore the war, including the well- , known one of the permission given; by the Attorney-General to Louisi- ; ana sugar growers to charge the ; people five cents more a pound for sugar than anyone else could charge , it is not surprising to find that Sou- ( thern manipulators of the coal sup- i ply have been fattening their bank < accounts at the expense of Northern ; manufacturing interests. j "Congressman Kitchin of North 1 Carolina declared openly when j Wilson took first office that he and j his Democratic following in Con- i gress would s? amend the laws of ! __ ?[Chero ^22 PALMETTO 411 Palmetto College offers Ih raphy.

The Manufacturers Record is not c a special pleader for Congressman 1 Kitchin, but the statement charged 1 against him is absolutely false, and ( congressman Kitchin was specificaly denied that he ever made any state- < ment of that kind, either in or out < of Congress.

Lj| The Telegram seems greatly con- US :erned that Southern coal operators |J? Jid not permit Italy and other for- W iign countries to do absolutely "fi .vithout coal merely that the mills Jfi )f New England might have a sup- JC ?ly of fuel. That is a degree of al- IX ;ruism inbehalf of New England US nanufacturers which no one ever |?" found New England Manufacturers ||j lisplaying in behalf of Southern ;otton growers. For years New Eng- jp and has fattened its purse at the 3 jxpense of the Souh by doing its ut- ^ nost to beat down the prices of cot- jQ ;on in order that its people might be !h ?nriched from the enslavement of 31 -i H- . 1 UC no?e in ine ouuui m tui:on growing. ;JB The figures published in the Manufacturers Record last week, K|| md which were obtainable from the nonthly reports of the Government ^ ;how that the exports of coal have :ut a very small figure in the mat- jjj :er of supply or price. Our ship-,riU nents of coal to foreign countries ire not one-fifth as great as they should be to meet the world's neels ^ f we were producing coal as we 2fl should be doing. Our exports of Zfl :oal for ten months amounted to |?>nly 21,351.000 tons, as compared jQi vith 17.956,000 tons for the same jjf jeriod of the preceding year and -p !0,764,000 tons in 1918. 'ffi The Lawrence Telegram and the Sil American Economist in this case Sfi ;eem more concerned to misinter>ret and misrepresent the South j|| han to tell the truth; more interes- j US td in presenting falsehoods against ilC he South than in getting at the'UE 'acts. * i i. - 1 .yc The Manufacturers Record greaty regrets the constant necessity of i|?? lefending the South from the;|jg ricious groundless charges made by fy vTew England papers. A few weeks. jO igo we published a letter from a big: j"" msiness man in New England that !ij ill New England people rejoicea m he prosperity of the South, but he Sfi ,vas wrong.
