Southern Enterprise.
Manufacturer's! Record.
A very remarkable illustration of the
spirit which animates the South und of
the enterprise of this sectinn
has boon given in the manner in which
“trusts” are handled. We believe that
only two “trusts” of any special import
ance organized to control business in
terests centering exclusively in the South
have ever been formed, and both of them
have been practically defeated by the
determination and enterprise of southern
people, while of “trusts’’ organized in
other sections we cannot recall the defeat
of any single one of note.
The American Cotton Oil Trust, tin
offshoot of the great Standard Oil Com
pany, was organized to monopblize the
cotton-seed oil business. Before the pub
lic was aware of what was being done,
this “trust” had secured the control of
almost every first class cotton oil mill in
the South, and its monopoly seemed
complete. Like the Standard Oil Com
pany in Pennsylvania, the American
Cotton Oil Trust was bent upon an ab
solute control of every branch of the
trade, and, backed by tiie vast wealth of
its parent, it looked to many as though
it was useless to fight it. The South,
however, did not so regard the matter,
and just when its control seemed most
absolute and a fight against it most
hopeless, a young Carolinian, who had
made a wide reputation as an engineer,
planned and organized in connection
with his friends a $5,000,000 company
to build independent oil mills. Within a
few months from its formation this com
pany had eight of the best cotton oil
mills ever built in full operation, located
at points where they could best compete
with the mills of the “trust.” The mo
nopoly was broken and the South was
saved from the danger of having this
great industry controlled by one com
pany, which could force prices of seed
down and of oil up at its own good
pleasure. Millions of dollars were saved
to the planters by this successful fight
against the first great “trust’’ which
threatened Southern prosperity.
The jute bagging trust was so skillfully
planned and so ably managed that not
until the cotton crop was beginning to
move was its existence realized. Its or
ganizers felt safe. They knew that the
cotton must be bagged promptly and
sent to market, and+hey boasted of what
they were going to do in the way of ad
vancing prices. To attempt to fight
this “trust” by bringing out a substitute
for jute bagging in time for the present
crop was apparently worse than useless.
It would only lead to delay in shipping
cotton and to still higher prices for bag
ging. Planters were advised to submit
with the best grace possible this year in
hopes that before another season rolled
around a remedy for the evil would have
been found. This advice, however, was
not taken. Instead of that the whole
South was bent upon defeatingthe“trust”
at the very start, ami many have been
the devices brought out to accomplish it.
Practically the “trust” is dead. Substi
tutes even better than jute have been
found. As already known to our readers
the Lane Mills, of New Orleans, and the
Acme Manufacturing Company, have*
produced bagging, one from low grade
cotton and one from pine straw, which
meet all the requirements and which are
destined to supplant jute bagging.
Night and day the milis will run to
meet the demand for this bagging, and
thus from what seemed a curse has sprung
the blessing of two new industries in the
South which will add several million dol
lars a year to Southern prosperity. In
these facts can be seen thespirit of energy
and enterprise which is building up the
South and plantingnew industries every
where, overcoming obstacles that would
appall others and pressing steadily for
ward, undaunted by difficulties. The
South is at work and its people are des
perately in earnest, so “trusts” had bet
ter shun this section.
The Expansion of Cotton 3lanufat*tuiug' in
the South.
New Orleans Picayune.
The N, Y. Chronicle, a well known and
influential trade publication, has recently
issued a report on the cotton trade and
crop ol 1887-fs. Alter giving the crop
figures and movement, the Chronicle
passes to the consideration of the manu
facturing industry in the United States,
and admits that the past year has been
one of the best in the history of the cot
ton trade. The demand for cotton goods
has been large and continuous, and the
year closed as it began, with stocks de
pleted, confidence unimpaired and the
demand steadily increasing.
While the trade on the whole has been
prosperous, Southern mills have experi
enced a season of unprecedented success.
Spindles have increased fully 10 per cent,
and are now augmenting rapidly. A
complete census taken by the Chronicle
on
230 mills with 1,177,991 spindles,
against 219 mills and 1,096,G62 spindles
last year. Since the census of 1880 the
number of spindles in the South has
doubled. Seventeen additional mills are
now almost complete, and forty more are
building, while it is reported that the old
mills are about to add 203,000 new
spindles.
The amount of cotton consumed shows
an even greater increase than thenutuber
of spindles employed, being now over 12
per cent larger than last year. Thenum
ber of bales consumed was 443,373,
against 393,460 last season.
This tendency of the manufacturer to
draw nearer to the raw material has been
| growing from year to year, and was
j never so apparent as at the present time.
With an abundance of reliablelabor, and
with the raw cotton at their doors, the
Southern mills have prospered and new
ones are rising up on every hand. Should
this rate of insrease be kept up, the man
ufacture of cotton cloth will soon be as
important an industry in the South as is
the production of the raw material it
self.
