And ever remembering what mechanical skill has done for the South, in the days that are gone, we still have the strongest inducements for giving encouragement to those diversified in dustries that educate the inventive tal ent, which originated the wealth and greatness of the. nations that have most wisely developed it. Hitherto, we have been indebted to strangers, as I will hereafter show, for the inventions that have steadily added to the value and sale of our great staple ; but under the wiser policy of applying some of our own money in utilizing our own natu ral resource?, we would soon see many more mills established among the cot ton fields, and become enriched by re taining a nong ourselves, the dividends that are now principally enjoyed by the enterprising foreigner, who has placed his looms and spindles among the fields where no cotton grows ! To this inventive activity of stran gers, the Southern States owe the dis covery of the cotton gin by Eli Whit ney in in 1794. At that early day his gin could only separate 70 lbs. of lint from the seed per diem, by hand; now, the best gins will turn out 400 lbs. per hour, or 4,000 lbs. in ten hours a day's task. Another man of genius, Edmund Cartwright, of England, invented a loom in 1806 for weaving cotton. Eight years after, the first power loom in the United States was erected in Waltham, Mass. In 1836 George Compton invent ed a new loom, and two or three years afterwards fitted it to the weaving of fancy goods ! In 1850 he had made so many improvement?, that the loom threw the shuttle 50 times a minute, across a web 36 inches wide. The shut tle is shot to-day 180 times per minute ! But my time only allows these brief al lusions to our benefactors kind their no less useful successors, to whose pro gressive inventions the cotton manu facturers of New England, have so rap idly advanced that the finer brands of the " Wamsutta " shirtings and sheet ings are quickly bought up by the trade generally in the English market, where only a few years ago such fabrics could not have been offered for sale, but at a loss! But let us return to our minor indus trie?, and the mechanical and working classes, who barely find enough to do to sustain themselves ; and yet their scan ty earnings are spent among the people with whom they live. How much larg er would these weekly earnings be if they were more generally patronized! How many thousands of dollars would be kept at home for circulation among our stores, instead of being sent off to support labor at a distance f By way of illustration, let us suppose that one of our merchants wanted to buy a new suit of clothes, and inquired of a Charlotte tailor, what he would make it for. He replies, $25.00. u Oh, no," says he, " that is too much. I can get a ready-made snit a little cheaper." So he carries out his economical pur pose by buying the cheaper ready-made Buit of clothes, and the money paid goes off to support the tailors of another city, and is seen no more in Charlotte ! On the other hand had the $25.00 been invested in the shop of the Charlotte tailor, a portion of it would probably have been returned to the store of the customer, and the rest spent with the other merchants. Let us begin, then, through the influence of this intelligent chamber, to apply this rule to the other minor industries of Charlotte, and our citizens will soon make many of the things we have been for so many years depending upon far away markets to supply. - But while suggesting more liberal dealings with our own workingmen, 'they must remember that punctuality is the life of business ; that in these hard times they must approximate the char ges for hand work to the prices asked in other competing cities, and that they are blind to the welfare of themselves, when they decline offers of employment, because they think that their services are worth nigher wages. Such cases have recently come to the knowledge tf the speaker, where carpenters refused $1 50 per diem, for a job which they thought was worth $2.25 a day. One of their number, however, took it eventu ally, rather than saunter about doing nothing. Individual resources and exertions cannot successfully compete with the combined capital, and improved ma chinery of other States. These must be introduced and applied before we can expect to undersell the commodities made with these advantnges, and of dai ly use among us. Who will be the first " to set the ball of progress in mo tion?" Such a person I have in my eye. But he is a gentleman of the name of O. M. "Beatty, from Concord K. C., and not iroui .viiiviiuiLt;. j. ins euwji prising man ufacturer will soon commence the erec tion of shops and machinery for mak ing carriages, buggies and wagons upon the six acres of land situated upon the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Bail road, just outside of the city, the liberal gift of our fellow townsman, S.M. How ell, Esq. ' The prosperity of the wealthy and thrifty city of St. Louis mav be traced to the encouragement she gave years ago to her minor industries. And now she is reaping the harvest of her far seeing policy ; for almost everything entering into daily use anCong her citi zens is of Tiome production ; for both her mercnants ana her customers give a preference to the fabrics and wares made by their own people ! How much more prosperous would this city now be had she been influenced by. the same preferences as St Louis? -What is it that makes Charlotte hesitate in taking the same road to wealth and power r Is it it because she feels the Jwant of coal and water power at convenient distances, or that the reausite capital is wanting ? ,This last can't be so, for it is generally understood that,there are several auuurciviLuousana aoiiars on deposit in hebasjs, not drawing a cent or interest, i . . r ' Then. Atlanta wjanting coal and hy dmilic power, aiinuch as Charlotte does ; i JbeTeitbess manufacturing njaaf vm same tmngs that have laid the foundation of St. Louis' great prosperity. Both cities are alike situa ted upon high lifgeB; are alike in the many railroads that penetrate them and alike in the excellent health they enjoy.. But herepie parallel cases: For unlike Charlotte f teen years ago, At lanta was devastated by fire from the torch of a cruel cdhqueror ; her citizens impoverished and dispersed ; her finest residences, publicbnildings and stores a confused pile of brick and ashes! And yet,at present, sheexhibits no signs of her disasters. On the contrary, her streets and suburbs are full of home-diversified industries, and she herself the cen tre of attraction t6 hundreds of enter prising men who cannot afford to settle anywhere but in ities of progress and activity;;,.' i ftWithin the foregoing period, of fif teen years AtlaMa haa erected iour breweries, one liartwgr'sSewing Ma chine Factory, in ventedoy a native Georgian, one glass faetpryfa few miles from the city and soon to be in opera tion, two rolling mills, two lucifer match factories, one of which is the non-explosive match-only ignited on chemical sand-paper specially prepared, tw cracker factories, making all varie ties, two paper rxdlls Anil others near by, one spice mill for the grinding and preparation of spices, awi the celebra ted "Town Talk Baking Powders," one soap factory commenced from small beginnings eight years ago in one small room ; to-day the ground and buildings where the soap is made are valued at $130,000 all made from annual profits, and not from borrowed money ; three furniture factoriesr and other smaller ones, one factory for willow-ware but not finished, four rectifiers of whiskey but no distilleries, one factory for of fice desks, bank furniture and counters, one factory for Terra-Cotta, and sewer pipes, two boot and shoe factories, also making their own pegs, three establish ments engaged in the manufacture of such lines of goods as are in daily use, and which heretofore were largely im ported ; among them medicated elixirs, worm candies, sugar-coated pills, fluid extracts, and a variety of such medicin al compounds known and used through out the United States, and consumed by all persons. Elsas, May & Co. started poor in At lanta after the war as paper-bag manu facturers. They buy there, and to-day have six travelers selling their bags; keep two large cylinder presses at work printing on the paper and bags they sell ; have built and own a large brick building ; are wealthy men, all made in their business. Why was this not done in Charlotte, where much of the paper was manufactured that they used for wrapping paper bags t Within the last six weeks they have written to Char lotte for a price on 100,000 pounds of paper, cash on delivery, say $10,000 at the present market price. These instances prove that by thrift and individual enterprise fortunes can be created, commercial independence confirmed, and the capital thus accu mulated by our own hands provide the unborrowed source, for embarking in larger and more varied manufacturing ventures ! When it is considered that Atlanta exports a great variety of goods to North and South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas, it will at once be understood bow necessary these several depots are to maintain its credit as a growing and prosperous city, and at the same time attract capital and go-ahead business men to settle in a spot of such varied occupations. If, instead of making these productions herself, she had drained her pockets in buying them elsewhere, what money would she have had for water-works, and other desirable improvements? How would "the balance of trade" stand with her ? Would her rents, stocks and and real estate be falling or rising? Besides the industries already given, there are many others, but the time I have allowed myself will not permit me to record them. It is proper, however to mention that Atlanta has water works, which not only yield abundantly for baths and hydrants, but also furn ish & stream of water for running the printing presses of the Constitution newspaper. If Atlanta is now beaming with vi tality second to no city in the South, for the material achievements of her people ; has so rapidly recovered from the destruction visited upon her fifteen years ago, can any gentleman present explain why Charlotte, which has es caped the devastations of war, is so far behind her wide-awake neighbor? When the reply comes, may a new born zeal be awakened to do as she has done, by offering the same business fa cilities for the investment of capital. But having thus far briefly discussed the humbler and minor industries at work around us, we will consider the profits and cost of the cotton mills. That these factories have been very prosperous, we will endeavor to show. First in order will be the operations for the last year, of the Eagle and Phoe nix mills, or Columbus, Ga. And al though but two of the mills of this com pany were at work the past year, and were seriously damaged by the yellow fever quarantine during the summer and fall, thev cleared in 1878 10 per cent on their capital stock, gave divi dends amounting to $75,000 to their stockholders, and the remainder of the net earnings, $56,480 were added to the reserve tuna, xne company nas ou hand 5,395 bales of cotton, bought at 8 cents per ft. and $170,000 in cash. Forty-three bales of cotton, and 800 ft. of wool are consumed every day. $400, 000 are paid out annually for labor, their employes numbering 1,600. The mills make 150 varieties of goods, which are sold chieflv in the Southern States ; but portions are freighted to remote gointsin the North and West, Ne raska and New Mexico, "and lastly, they pay 1-6 of the State and county taxes levied in Muscogee county, and 1-12 of the city taxes of Columbus itself ! But this is not all to be related of this lively town, of which the Columbus Enquirer says : "In 1865 there was not a mill in the city; all were in ashes, the result of the Federal torch ; but on the ruins have been erected superb struc tures, boasting of the most approved machinery, and employing thousands of workmen, who earn good wages, and help to swell the business of the place. Again we quote from the manual of Georgia: "Columbus runs 54,168 spin- Ldles, 1347 looms, ana wicn tnese ana tives, and there are invested $2,020,000. "These enterprises alone support a population of 13,055 people!" Another successful Georgia enter prise : "The Augusta cotton factory has just declared its usual quarterly divi dend of 2 per cent. The president re ports the operations for the past six months ending 15th of December, 1878, from which it appears; that after pay ing all expenses, including interesron capital invested, and the two quarterly CONCLUDED ON FOURTH PAGF. a: WE ARE DAILY RECEIVING AN ELEGANT ASSORTMENT OF SPRING TEXTURES, Representing all the novel styles in the New York Market.
