'. .hereis some truth in this, but lhe South, is not a poverty ! stricken Section, al though she may riot be as prosper ous as she ' ought Or should, be. There are reasons for this, some ji which are given in the following ex-i tract from a speech . recently do: livercd by Judge , PoweH, .f Missjs .s'PP'j ftt Vicksbnr : " -' 1 "The reason of our poverty is not harijljo fiod. Take our average citizen He gets up in the morning and' pulls onapairof socks from Lynn, Mass.; puts on a pair of shoes from Boston; a suit of cloths from Philadel phi s ; goes into breakfast; draws t A chair , made in Chicago, and eats from a table which came from Cincinnati ; sweetens his coffee from Rib ;with Sugar from Louisiana; takes ; a slice of ham cured in St. Louis, and buttera a biscuit of Minnesota flour with oleomar garine which came from the Lord knows wherd; he eats South Carolina or Louisiana rice, and even the very grits upon his table were ground in some northern mill; he goes to his stable and puts a set bf harness on a mule from Kentucky; hitches ' it to a wagon from Illinois, and drives' over to his neighbor's and complains of hard times. Of course, times are hard when everything people eat, drink wear and drive came from somewhere else and Only the atmosphere which he breathes is a home institution." ; Judge Powell .was telling some home truths that had. been told so" often in somewhat different phrase ology that the reader feels as if he . wa3 reading an oldatory, but every lino of which is true, although not literally as true now-as it-would have been ten, five, or '.even "one year ago, for we- are making ;.8ome pro gress in providing home wants.. But as the remarks wo quote were inteh ed by the speaker to .apply to Mis sissippi they may possibly belitorally ' true of that State. l.i'v-; ' " While the South as a'" whole ' is ' making progress in ! the ?ay ; of be coming self-sustaining it must . be admitted that the progress is slow, and this is not altogether surprising under the circumstances. ; In . the first place attention' has been cetxf tered on the mannfaefcare of cotton, m which much of the available capi tal found investment; and which has made gratifying and wonderful pro gress.
