'ThereTis an old story abouata
green captain drilling a green
company, about the time of the
breaking autof the late war,when,
at a certain stage of the proceed-
ings, a drill-master, who was
overlooking the performance, ex-
elaimed: oHold on there, captain !
-Yoa canTt bring your men from a
right shoulder shift to present
arms.� oMaybe I canTt,� retorted
the captain, obut lll be d"d if I
didnTt.� The old story is sug-
gested by a letter in the Fall
River (Mass.) Herald, of the 1st,
from Mr. A. B. Sanford, a cotton
mill man of that city, who was in
Charlotte recently, and whose
letter opens with this paragraph :
While the Northern manufac-
turer has been arguing and spec-
ulating as to what his Southern
competitor would be able to ac-
complish, aud while many people
felt no fear of wny danger ~that
the South would be able to com-
vete,� wuch to my astonishment,
Tfind from-a personal inspection
during the past ten days among
some of the mills in the South,
that they have fuily soived the
problem of cotton manufacturing,
und are now making and have
been makingdor sometime fabrics
and yarns equal to our New Eng-
~aid mills, and for less cost, selling
them to our customers, supp!ant-
ing our productions, to an alarm
ing extent, and from figure
obtained of cost of sama, I find
that they are enabled in their
Snely-equipped and well-organiz
ed mills, by good and cheaper
labor, to make a profit, even on
preseut depressed market prices,
while our own New England mills
cannot manufacture without a
loss.
Mr. Sanford adds that this is a
hard faci to face, but that it isa
Condition aud nota theory, and
he goes on to say that the stories
told in the North and Hast about
the inefiliciency of Southern mill
operatives won't do. He found
the operatives in the mill districts
oi the South, over which he
trayeled extenrively, ozood native
American whites,� who overy
quickly adapt themselves to the
work, are eager to learn, happy
aud contented.� The help he
fiads is abundant, reliable, capable

~mill architects, located in
the Piedmont belt, are the equal
in design, constraction and equip-
ment of maghinery, nothing over-
looked to make them complete.
* * * The climatic conditions
are found to be in many sections,
as good as our New England
States, North Carolina especially
possessing very fine atmospberic
vonditions, both cool and moist,
and fine spinning is being carried
on very successfully in that
State. There are within 100 miles
of Charlotte, N. C., 200 mills,
containing 1,525,000 spindles and
44,000 looms. It is estimated that
100,000 pieces ot goods that are
made by the Southern mills per
week now find their way to
Northerr markets, supplanting an
equal amount of goods formerly
made at Fall River, New Bedford,
Lowell and other New England
centres.
Mr. Santord concludes :
It is yery clear we cannot stand
in Massachusetts any more ad-
verse legislation against our in-
dustries, for the Southern mil's
can mak3 dividends, while their
Northern competitors are selling
their goods at cost. And in proof
of this, many of the Southern
corporations have been paying
steady and continuous dividends
during the hard times of the past
tweive months.
We find no joy inthe fact that
the Massachusetts mills are mak-
ing no money. but it is sgreeable
to reaa the testimony of a Massa.
