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, “zood native American whites,” who “very quickly adapt themselves to the work, are eager to learn, happy aud contented.” The help he fiads is abundant, reliable, capable und 33} per cent. cheaper than at Fall River and in New England Fuel is cheaper here than there, _ the raw material is cheaper,and «1, taxation itia said: . | ‘In North Carolina, South Car- Olina and Georgia taxes are very low. One mill which I visited, having $250,000 invested, pays _ tax of only $240 per annum. : Such & millin Fall River will pay : $5,000 tax. All the large mills 4 p> | 2nd rola no tax to speak % Hore are two very notable ad- , fs, recently built and nder construction by our ‘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. chusetts mill man to the fact that the South has manifold advan- tages oyer it for manufacturing cotton and is working them to the limit.—Charlotte Observer. heer Eee The Recsnt Election.
