As warm to the heart of
pixie as the old browned Con
fererate daguerreotype in the
parlor is its defiant battle
cry: the South will rise again.
Now, at long last, it is.
This is not the rising of the
straggling marches or the
slow paper revolution of the
ballot box. This rising is an
industrial revolution whose
effects, often indistinct, may
charige the Southland in the
long run as much or . more
man protest, or the courts.

Dixie is no longer the land
of cotton and kinfolk. Indus
try, the lifeblood of the nation,
is making a quiet invasion of
this once agrarian country
side. It has become a lever
randomly prying loose the old
Southern society, a lever that
augmented demands for bet
ter education, has wrenched at
the grip of the stand-pat poli
ticians of the backwoods, has
spread a notion that skill, not
skin, is the criterion for jobs,
and that what is good for
business is good and what
isn't, isn't.

from industry alone. Not all
the changes are welcome.' But
industry is.
"Industry has been our sal
vation," said Sidney Smyer
Sr., a leading Birmingham
businessman. Gov. George C.
Wallace, as proud of his suc
cess in industrializing Ala
bama as he is of his stand on
segregation, says:
"I don't care if an industry
comes in and hires 100 per
cent Negroes and has a Ne
gro president. I want jobs."
Ironically, industry and seg
regation in the long run may
prove incompatible. "I n-
dustry," said a native Atlan-
tan, "wants order. In the past
segregation represented order.
After a couple of riots, busi
nessmen switched to a mod
eration that would restore
order."
Dixie today is a land of
boosters, and the voice of the
Chamber of Commerce is
heard throughout the land.
STEEL WEBS
By any standards the growth
has been remarkable.
The rising steel webs of the
Atlanta skyline change so
rapidly the Chamber of Com-
merce has taken eight diffe-
rent photographs of it in the
last six months to keep cur-
rent, invariably with Braves
Stadium in the foreground,
A r o u n d the courthouse
squares of the county seats,
bfb-overalled farmers still
lounge and chat and spit
tobacco. But on the outskirts
there likely is a new plant or
the arm of a crane unloading
dull red steel girders. In Mar
ietta, Ga. they sold wagons in
the square as late as 1940. The
town now numbers 100,000 peo
ple and has one of the South's
largest single employes in
Lockheed.
Town, county and state de
velopment officials chart the
pace in full color booklets and
with reams of tables. South
Carolina, for instance, ranked
fifth in the nation in gain of
new manufacturing jobs from
1957-66;. It was first in relation
of the gain to its population.

increased 4.5 per cent in the
United States last year. The
gain was 11.8 per
cent in
Mississippi. '
TAR HEEL'GROWTH
In the last 10 years industry
has invested $2.77 billion in
North Carolina, creating 1,814
new plants and 278,000 new
jobs.
New and expanded industry
last year in Mississippi to
taled $520 million, creating
19,000 new jobs. South Caro
lina exceeded $600 million,
and it was $623 million in
Alabama, tops in the South.
In Atlanta 70 new office
buildings have gone up or been
announced in the last five
years. Unemployment in sev
eral Southern states is appre
ciably below the national
average. Atlanta has a labor
shortage. And so it goes.
The post-Civil War years
were hard for the South. The
Country expanded dramati
cally but westward. A group
of Atlanta businessmen, hop-
ing to attract Northern indus-
try, invited William Tecum-
seh Sherman to revisit the
city he had singed 20 years
earlier. But industry decided
it had business elsewhere, and
many Southerners thought it
just as well,
Northern industrialists had
their own prejudices about
the South. "They long thought
the Southern countryman was
uneducated. Vance, a sociolo-
gist at the University of North
Carolina said, "They said he
had been competing with the
Negro and hadn't learned
much more than he had."
But a change came grad
ually. During World War II
laborers from the South
moved North and West and
proved their mettle in the de
fense factories. In the post
war boom industry looked for
new markets, for areas with
ample room and water and
labor for new plants. Land
and water the South had al
ways had.
Now it had labor. The small
farmer with his team of mules,
and 40 acres found it increas
ingly difficult to make a liv
ing. King Cotton had abdi
cated for the Vast mechan
ized farms of West Texas,
New Mexico and California.
Southern college graduates
and former sharecroppers
were moving North where the
iobs were. The DeeD South
Z.
faced deeper poverty.
MIGRATION TURNS
Then the migration turned.
First came the textile plants,
relocating from 19th century
New England mill towns.
Land corporations established
fabricating and distribution
centers, particularly in Atlan
ta, to serve a relatively un
tapped southeastern market.
Whatever their reason, they
came.
Some came, said Maynard an adult theater group. They
Smith, an Atlanta labor rela- (advertise widely. They scan
tions lawyer, ''because of mis- trade journals to learn of ex
takes they made in the North pansion plans. They send field
that made them highly union-
ized. Unions sell management
mistakes and that's all they
sell."
In general, however, the
larger firms pay wages com
parable to the rest of the na-
tion. In Alabama in 1964, for
instance, state ' figures iridi-
cate non-union scales topped
union rates.
Not that management isn't
aware that most Southern
states have nght-to-work laws
and mean to keep them. In
part this is due to the desire
to attract industry, in part be
cause, as Vance says, the
Southern farmer is independ
ent and unused to unions and
sees no reason to pay dues if

NEW HORIZON IN ALABAMA
' - ,i'r- A-
similar to this one in Birmingham, Ala., recently, U. S. Steel
president Roger Blough warned that the social revolution that
had been occuring there might offset some of the oti ei advant
ages of capital investment in Dixie. The south is clearly under
going a drastic change.
he feels he acceptably paid.
All this makes unions or
ganizing "tough work," says
North Carolina AFL-CIO offi
cial John Williams Jr. His
state's workers are only 6.7
per cent unionized, the lowest
in the nation.
But visions of union - free
t labor are not' the only, attrac-'
tions for South-bound manage
ment. State management
boards from Dixie have turned
carpetbaggers in reverse,
wooing Northern industry with
tax benefits, sales talks and.
facts, facts, facts.
"There was a time when we
courted industry with wine,
women arid song," said Wal-
. -rf 1 1 f 1. 1
ter warper, director 01 me
South Carolina Development
Board. "Now we use research
experts and computers." Tell
the computer what you want
and the computer will tell you
the best place for your plant.
DEVELOPMENT BOARD
State development boards
are armed with all conceiv
able information from the.
chemical composition of the
water to whether a town has
representatives calling across
the country.
Wallace, while campaigningj
in the 1964 presidential pri
maries, made a call in Ohio
to persuade a company not
to move its Birmingham plant
to Georgia. Mavor Evan Allen
of Atlanta will, they say, "pack
his ditty bag and go anywhere
to sell Georgia."
Charges that they are pirat-
ing industry from the rest of
the country rankles the Soutn
em talent scouts. "Plants fol
low markets and we have the
markets," said Moffit Ken
drick of the Greenville, S. C,
Chamber of Commerce. They
say we stole industry. Hell,
they still have their head-
